    John Crestani Affiliate Marketing Scam (Or Spam)?

    MARKETING 
    Hey just a quick heads up, people like this get really big because SO many people hate on them. While this post is doing a good thing to warn people about scams, it also promotes the scammer's brand in a way. What are your guys' thoughts on how to prevent this? We can all think of at least...

    Would you consider this to be ethical?

    This sounds a lot like the plot of the movie DodgeBall lol

    Parents own me, any advice?

    Offer to find a buyer for them to sell you to if you can keep 10% as commission. Rinse and repeat.

    Just gonna drop it on you all at once.

    INTRO 
    Yeah man it's tough. It's a lonely, boring, dull, sometimes painful road with the potential for greatness (and massive growth). The alternative is the slow-lane. Comfortable, pleasant, stable with lots of company (but no real glory). Afraid of spending $1900? Go test the idea. Who is your...

    Which is more powerful? 1A) I hope I stick to my 30 min per day exercise routine. 1B) I will stick to my 30 min per day exercise routine. 2A) I hope I don't drink at the bar tonight. 2B) I won't drink at the bar tonight. 3A) I hope I wake up when my alarm clock goes off tomorrow. 3B) I...

    Accountability Thread

    INTRO 
    Nice, consider this your execution thread to hold you accountable. - This is backwards in my opinion. You have to hold yourself accountable. Hope is pointless. Discipline is what you're looking for.

    Looking for a chair for comfortably sitting long work hours. Any recommendations?

    HEALTH 
    Apparently these are pretty good. Joe Rogan endorses them, they sent him some for his studio. It's on my wish-list when I have the dough to afford it. https://www.fully.com/hag-capisco-chair.html I use a standing desk with a cheaper studio drafting chair. I aim to sit 60/40 to how much I...

    How I Hit 5-Figures Per Month in 90 Days During C0VlD-19

    EXECUTION 
    Honestly, if you're learning how to successfully market for other businesses, what's to stop you from developing your own product and running your own campaigns for it? That's the angle I would take if I were you. Learn the process by helping other clients, then apply it to your own venture...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! CHAT EXECUTION 
    Yes! This thing is awesome. I installed mine a few months ago and I feel like everyone everywhere should have them. The only downside is the perception of how much worse off toilets are that don't have them. It's such a bummer to have to go back to regular wiping after you get used to it.

    Is it obvious enough what my business does?

    MARKETING 
    Not sure where you got this from, but why on Earth would you hide your pricing? Whenever the senior engineers at the company I'm working at vet products for engineering, features come first, then pricing. If this was a high-ticket item, then maybe, but $50-200/mo is nothing for engineering teams

    Is it obvious enough what my business does?

    MARKETING 
    Solid landing page. Design is great for a software product. Great job with the character animations and layout of the info. I think it's pretty clear but as a software engineer, I'm not convinced that your product will live up to the claims. I have a feeling the product analyzes git repos and...

    Facebook Ads Funnel Not Working; What's Missing in the Picture?

    MARKETING 
    Agree 100% with everything above. Way too much going on and not enough clarity about what you do. One thing I'll add, the logo is way blurry on my screen, not sure what it looks like on your screen. In this day and age, that screams unprofessionalism. Put in a higher resolution image. Looks...

    Willpower is for LOSERS!

    MINDSET RANT 
    Totally agree. I found this to be true as well. The more bad habits you remove, the more you have to work on yourself to improve the root issue. "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." - Henry David Thoreau

    Trying to find a successful side hustle. 12 months in on one project

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Hey, how did you validate the idea? In other words, how did you validate that people have this pain point and are willing to pay for a solution?

    Willpower is for LOSERS!

    MINDSET RANT 
    That's a wild story and I'm glad you got through it. What were your goals at the time? To start a business or to excel in the agency? I work a full-time job right now to pay for my side project. I go EASY during the work day. I ask others for help frequently. I often procrastinate *ahem*...

    Willpower is for LOSERS!

    MINDSET RANT 
    I find keeping tempting things out of sight is good, but I've recently been practicing a more powerful concept that has been working wonders. I've read some books that warn against this concept, yet it works. Want to know what it is? Deplete your will-power (energy reserves) every day on the...

    At a crossroads with my "business"

    I can make it easy for you. No one cares if you start a fastlane business. No one cares if you get 99% of the way there, but don't finish your product and never launch. No one even cares if you succeed. No one cares if you work at taco bell or are the CEO of Apple. In short, no one cares...
