    Payment Processing For High Risk Products

    EXECUTION 
    Haven't used personally, but saw someone mention these two the other day: https://www.easypaydirect.com/ https://www.authorize.net/ You could also try going through the checkout process for other companies and then doing a right-click > inspect element on their checkout section, check the...

    Please explain this to me about Email Prospecting...(B2B)

    MARKETING 
    Definitely value in it then. Just a matter of finding the people who have a need for it and then showing them that you can help. Maybe there's a way that you can provide some initial value over email - maybe something from your mailing packs? You could still go back and reach out to your...

    Please explain this to me about Email Prospecting...(B2B)

    MARKETING 
    So the problem is likely one of the three: 1. They're not that interested in what you're offering - what is your offer and who are you targeting? Is there a proven fit? 2. They don't believe you can deliver - do you have social proof? Case studies? 3. You're not reaching enough people - how many...

    Please explain this to me about Email Prospecting...(B2B)

    MARKETING 
    Pretty much this. You can't just look at it as black and white. "email prospecting is good" or "email prospecting is bad". Your product-market fit and offer are going to affect your results much more than the channel which you're reaching out to people on. If you have something which your...

    shoulder, neck, back pain and weakening of the body due to long hours spent working in a desk

    HEALTH 
    The hanging leg raise is one of those exercises that can be done primarily by your hip flexors rather than your abdominal muscles. This is one of the factors leading to APT - dominant hip flexors, weaker abs. No way I can say for sure of course, but that could be the case here. I had that...

    shoulder, neck, back pain and weakening of the body due to long hours spent working in a desk

    HEALTH 
    Most people who spend too much time sitting have Anterior Pelvic Tilt / Lordosis. This can cause lower back pain. Can't say for sure in your scenario, but I'd try some APT-fixing and core-strengthening exercises. Some good videos on YT for exercises and stretches.

    shoulder, neck, back pain and weakening of the body due to long hours spent working in a desk

    HEALTH 
    Do you have a good chair with back support? Does your mattress have the right level of support? Do you lift/exercise at all? When does it hurt the most? I was having some back pain earlier this year but all gone after switching to a better chair, more supportive mattress, and lifting heavy...

    Am I lacking definite purpose?

    MINDSET 
    Don't you think there's a bit of a conflict between these two? If you're focused on being someone who others look up to... then you're caring about your ego and how others perceive you. If you really want to help others and grow though, you have to be willing to set your ego aside. You've...

    what discipline really means?

    MINDSET 
    "Discipline is the bridge between thought and accomplishment" - Jim Rohn View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II_rv_BVTBA In other words, do you stick to the plan and the rules? When you're a kid, the plan is set by your parents and your teachers. There are also direct consequences for not...

    Get started: Focus MVP or Quality?

    EXECUTION 
    What do you even mean by "credibility" exactly? All people really care about is whether you can help them or not -- whether you can solve their problems or not. Does having a fancy website prove that I can help you solve your problems? Well, unless your problem is related to web development...

    Get started: Focus MVP or Quality?

    EXECUTION 
    Listen to Andy. The man knows what he's talking about. He's done this (many times) before, you haven't. In fact, it's even easier than you think. You don't even need a proper WordPress website. I built an agency/productised service "website" for myself which was just a one-page site built on...

    Titles that attract like magnets!

    MARKETING 
    You'll find it actually depends a lot more on your audience and your offer rather than the "magic words" you use. E.g. you could go to a super thirsty guy who's just eaten a huge meal and say "FREE Hot Dogs - Eat Now!" - but really he just wants a glass of water. So focus on first...

    Marketing vs. Sales

    MARKETING 
    Often depends on the price and commitment of the product or service. Someone is not going to hire a wealth manager to handle $10M of assets just from clicking an ad. On the other end, it's not worth cold-calling someone to try and sell a $5 basketball. You can combine the two though, of...

    Brainstorming - parenting niche

    It kind of seems like you've missed a step here. You've gone straight from audience demographics to products. You said "I have been brainstorming what can I offer of value to this niche", but what you listed were not forms of value added to their lives. They are just a list of product...

    Overcoming FEAR

    MINDSET 
    Look at the thing you are anxious about - the thing you fear happening most. Now ask yourself: Is that something which you are in complete control of? Do you decide whether that happens or not? If not, then what use does worrying about it do? Does the act of worrying make it less likely to...

    Hustling! My progress as a freelancing web designer

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Not bad - the offer is important, which sounds very fair in your case. You've removed the risk for them. Main thing I'd say is just to make your CTA clearer. You have: 1. "Would you be interested in a website that would showcase how awesome your business is?" and 2. "Please let me know how...
