    Dane Maxwell AMA-- SaaS, Membership Sites, The Foundation

    NOTABLE! SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    That last post by Dane on idea extraction is gold! BTW, this process is applicable to more than just SaaS, these are some of the core skills in complex solution selling and consulting as well. Maybe Ovens should have his own AMA. I've been getting the targeted ads too, but I didn't take it as...

    Dane Maxwell AMA-- SaaS, Membership Sites, The Foundation

    NOTABLE! SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I've got lots of questions ;-) I love The Foundation's website and your sales video is awesome. First, the tough one: Why package and market your system as opposed to scaling one of your existing SaaS offerings to 7 figures a month or building a portfolio of 6 figure SaaS apps? How do...

    Email Marketing... going back to the classic Direct Marketing tactics.

    MARKETING 
    So, you are essentially selling access to a giant "safe list" or are they "harvested" emails? What is your deliverability? I'd be curious the answers to gravytrain's questions too. What kind of metadata do you have around the emails and what is your ability to target? I'm a little bit unsure...

    Mentorship Job: Negotiation Advice

    Anyway to do domain name testing?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    What JasonR said is the way to do it. Don't rely on informal polling. Go by what the data tells you. To get the data, you have to test _everything_. Domain names, ad text, landing page layout/colors/text/media. In a recent story about Marissa Mayer (Marissa Mayer Biography - Business...

    Are You Profiting off the BITCOIN wave?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I've been sitting on a good bitcoin related domain, but haven't thought of anything to do with it yet. Was attracted to bitcoin from the technical end really, just something geeky to toy with. Have they figured out who Satoshi is yet?

    #NewRules -Fastlane for the next generation of entrepreneurs?

    EXECUTION 
    What you've outlined is not "FastLane for the next generation of entrepreneurs", but a Slowlane plan to still trading time for money. Reread TMF. If you like the "Me Too Goo Roo" market, why not think of some needs the GooRoos have and sell them some picks and shovels. I wouldn't categorize...

    General Fast Lane Income question

    Because there comes a time when the business isn't dependent on your time. Yes, you have to invest the effort and energy up front to build it, but then you reap exponential profits later - when you're sleeping, deep sea fishing, racing cars, doing whatever you want to do.

    Is this a red flag?

    Do you really want to be brought on as a member of HIS company? And take on potential liability with someone who would repurpose what you built? I'd slow down and think it through.

    Using WordPress to Build Web Apps

    I've used WordPress extensively as an end-user, customized it a bit, and have thought about it as an app platform, but its (PHP etc) not what I really know for doing development. That said, this sounds like it could be a good opportunity for an info product. - Create an app on top of WordPress...
