Eric from Erics Cheesecakes
NOTABLE!I asked him this and he didn't answer... I mean, you're not making cheesecake out of rat poison. I go to a Jack in the Box down the street and it smells like a porta-potty and they can sell me a crappy burger. But, Uncle Sam has red tape up in every direction for you to sell cheesecake. Naw...- Joe Cassandra

F Tinder tell me where you men hang out at.
HOT! PEOPLEI've bumped into old and new friends, and I hear more and more...everyone I talk to says 'we met online.' [NOTE: It's never through Tinder.] This isn't an obvious answer or tongue-in-cheek. It's seriously been the trend for what I hear now in the past 3-5 years. Guess the online dating...- Joe Cassandra

6-Figures In 12 Months Copywriting. Quit Job. Here's How I Did It:
NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLESHOULD I SHELL OUT MONEY I DON'T HAVE TO LEARN COPY? I got a question today where someone asked 'How much should I pay to learn copy?" They were looking at a copy product online and it was into the thousands. I get asked all the time by copy chiefs/marketing managers where did I learn copy...- Joe Cassandra

How I Make Over $100,000+ a Year from My Laptop (full blueprint)
HOT! SIDE HUSTLEI didn't think about this nor look closely at the dates. Now, I'm curious... @jkennedy I think the skepticism stems from the bad stigma info-marketers get especially in those 'affiliate mills.' plus you joined the Forum in 2011 but this is only your 15th post...the credibility is somewhat thin...- Joe Cassandra

Eric from Erics Cheesecakes
NOTABLE!You're baking one of creation's most delicious foods...we're not chastising...we just want more cheesecake in the world.

How I Make Over $100,000+ a Year from My Laptop (full blueprint)
HOT! SIDE HUSTLEI've been stuttering with doing something like this. I'm a self-employed copywriter and keep peeping over if it's worth building up a list and such. I have a handful of clients, that's where my copy income comes from. A great resource for building a list I've found who KILLS at content is Bryan...- Joe Cassandra

6-Figures In 12 Months Copywriting. Quit Job. Here's How I Did It:
NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLESEE JAW-DROPPING EMAIL OPEN RATES WITH THESE 2 EMAIL SUBJECT LINES: In good ol' copy school (note: this doesn't exist), you're hammered over the head: BENEFITS NOT FEATURES!

Breaking into Consulting with a Notable First Client
EXECUTIONI'd actually disagree with going after 'notable' companies with poor sites...the reason being it's not obviously a concern for them. I'm a copywriter. I wasted TONS, TONS, TONS of hours doing a similar process as you did...finding ragged sites with poor copy...I'd screenshot various points and...- Joe Cassandra

Eric from Erics Cheesecakes
NOTABLE!Can you get around the DPA regulations? "Hey Restaurant Joe, I'll contract to make 100 cheesecakes / month in your kitchen for $X --- you pay for the ingredients" That way you aren't making them at home...essentially, you're a contract baker, not a hired 'food and dairy handler' which I'm...- Joe Cassandra

People who complain that entrepreneurship is lonely....
MINDSETI agree. In college, my roommates hated me because I'd leave at 7:30a, and not get back in until 12-2am simply because I would be talking to so many different people all day. It wasn't uncommon for me to be walking to class, bump into someone, and skip class to chat. Now, I sit in an upstairs...- Joe Cassandra

The End of all Sidewalk/Slowlane Bashing
SLOWLANEMan this is so true :) Everyone thinks they're the smartest person in the world... Agree to this. But, here's the thing...

The End of all Sidewalk/Slowlane Bashing
SLOWLANEYep, you're right @AndyBlack. That wasn't the sentiment. I meant "different" not better. *EDITED*. As I posted later in the OP, I don't think I'm better at all...in fact, I learn from many Sidewalkers and Slowlaners in my life. ---------- Here's my beef: There's a new type of action-faking...- Joe Cassandra

The End of all Sidewalk/Slowlane Bashing
SLOWLANEI see a ton of posts on this Forum from people pointing and laughing at Slowlaners and Sidewalkers because they haven't "Seen the light." I used to do this too... When I lived in Charlotte, NC, I'd ride the train to my mind-numbing financial analyst job in the Hearst Tower. I'd be reading 4...- Joe Cassandra

Fastlane Parenting (Tips, Tactics...)
GOLD! PEOPLEWhen we found out our first child was coming..I was stuck in a crummy accounting job everyone thought I was "lucky" to have. At that point (May 2014), I had made $0 in revenue, failed businesses and action fakes... But, damn it, that kid jumping in my wife's tummy made me hyper-focused. Before...- Joe Cassandra

NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLEThanks for this Los. Here's the kicker... When you narrow down to one niche. I mean really hone down... You'll find there won't be 5,000 companies to reach out to. There will only be 500-1,000. Sure, this limits your scope, but let me explain: In your first 10 years of writing (I believe)...- Joe Cassandra

What steps do you wish you had taken sooner?
