    [Progress] Replacing My Income With Adwords Freelancing.

    EXECUTION 
    I will let Andy comment on the keyword strategy. However, when I read your comment about sales flattening and saw the product, I got a feeling this guy has another problem. So I checked Google Keyword Planner Historical stats and noticed these keywords are only searched for between 0 an 1k...

    [Progress] Replacing My Income With Adwords Freelancing.

    EXECUTION 
    You know that success is mostly found doing the things you fear? It's usually a sign of which path to take first, where most success is found more quickly than through other routes. Yes, MJ calls it the F*** You moment.

    Dad of 3 kids

    INTRO 
    It's a tough position you're in with 3 kids. I also had a collapse earlier this year due to a combination of a fulltime job, 2 young kids and 4 year fastlane grind which still didn't bring the results I was hoping for. I'm still recovering and taking it easy, since it's a very slippery road to...

    What are you sacrificing?

    MINDSET 
    My health. I got burned out after many years trying to succeed (with fulltime job and 2 young children). Now I'm slowly getting back to grinding but taking it very slowly. My health still didn't return 100% so I have to take care not to fall back.

    Offering A Money Back Guarantee On Products?

    I offer a 30 day money back guarantee on my products. The product costs me around 5 dollars to make. That plus a part of the shipping costs is what I loose when a customer requests their money back. However, money back requests are very rare in my business. If I would have to guess I think...

    Ecommerce Or Adwords Management?

    My advise would be to exploit your experience with AdWords account management and start helping other businesses. Dropshipping looks like a great business model which is why so many people are try making this work. It also violates one of the most important commandments of CENTS. There is...

    Which phones do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Owning a S8. I bought it 6 months after launch for a great price. I left iOS after years of using iPhones for Android ans don't want to go back. I only wish my phone was faster at some times, I hate Samsung lags.

    I'm gonna be a dad.. Did I just lose the Fastlane?

    INTRO 
    I have been building 3 businesses over the past 3,5 years. Starting with the first business right before my first son was born. This next to a full-time job. My wife doesnt work and takes care of the kids. I worked on the business in the evening after the kids went to bed. Two of the businesses...

    [Progress] Sanctus Nutrition - Supplement Company (and first real entrepreneurial pursuit)

    NOTABLE! 
    Great job, the product/landing page has certainly improved. Great copy too! One suggestion: have you considered placing your guarantee right on top with the free shipping and 30% discount? Your biggest promise is that your product is the best performing product out there. What better way to...

    10+ Years IT Contracting at €300-900/day (Learnings)

    HOT! 
    Thanks Andy for taking the time to answer. I appreciate it. I completely agree about dealing with big businesses. We'll be dealing with employees and would never be able to make them as happy as real business owners or end consumers. You confirmed consulting is not the path I want to take...

    10+ Years IT Contracting at €300-900/day (Learnings)

    HOT! 
    I currently work as a Quality Assurance engineer (software tester) for an IT consultancy firm. Next to this I'm running a supplement company for a year now which is not nearly growing as fast as I would like. I'm always contemplating about monetizing my skills and start helping other...

    Going for it. Ecommerce.

    NOTABLE! 
    What have you done with Facebook ads? Have you tried multiple interests in seperate ad groups? Did you also try multiple creatives? I would at least try 10 different interests at 5 dollars a day and let it run for a few days. That will cost you 150 max (shut down earlier is really bad metrics)...

    Product And Service Ideas For An Aging Population.

    IDEA 
    I don't see the need for a laptop. A simple tablet with some basic functionalities would probably do. However, I do wonder for how long this will remain a problem. These people will eventually pass away while the baby boom generation is already able to work with current technologies. These...

    It's time for a "fast food" revolution

    HOT! 
    I don't know about the United States but here in Holland we have a healthy food chain which is doing great. They opened in 2015 and have multiple chains across the country already. I guess this exact concept could be copied in the US. I would be surprised if such a thing doesn't exist in the...

    A few lessons that "only" cost me $18,000

    EXECUTION 
    You are in the desert of desertion. Trust me, once you have paying and happy customers, it's worth it. MJ is right in saying adding value is what gives you the satisfying feeling.

    The Double My Money Thread: $1k to $2k.

    EXECUTION 
    I highly suggest you do not jump the Shopify dropshipping hype-train. It's completely against everything that MJ teaches: no entry, crowds and crowds of people doing the same thing, increased FB advertising costs, no quality control, etc. etc. You will burn through your money faster than you...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I feel exactly the same as you when I go outside. Which I don't feel like doing at all with the same temperatures here in Holland plus the annoying winds which are always present. I curse the weather every single day when I leave the house. I feel even more sad for my almost 3 year old boy. I...
