    Update on a Few Ideas (July)

    IDEA 
    Really just writing down an update on my ideas and which I will choose. I like having a place where I can log in my journey. Last time I posted, I had three ideas that I was considering. I'll go through the ones I didn't choose first and why I didn't: 1) Infra red scanner for data entry: This...

    New Start: In the Search for Real Productocracy ideas

    I just don't know what to do

    RANT 
    Thank you for the words, man. Lack of exercise and a good diet has definitely got me in a bad state. I'm slowly trying to get back on track and funny enough, I also try and do pushups to at least keep some blood flowing. I appreciate it and good luck on your journey

    I did read the books, but you're totally right, MJ. The grind and everything has made me lose track of what actually brings value and solutions. No excuses.

    Thank you Lex. I tried turning the freelance gig into a reliable thing but you're right. I'm always going to have to figure a way to keep the business alive

    How are you doing, guys? So a bit of backstory: started a digital marketing agency and made some decent cash. Covid hit and everything went right out of the tank. Decided to get a job to make ends meet in November and it reminded me how much I wanted to get out of this rat race. I've tried to...

    I finally have an idea I'm considering: Sleeping Supplements

    Damn, that is good. It does sound like science fiction but let's see if I can do something with this. Thank you for the input, man! Peace

    I finally have an idea I'm considering: Sleeping Supplements

    IDEA 
    Thank you for the honesty, man! This is exactly what I wanted. I never even considered the fact that most of my audience WOULDN'T have a good diet in the first place and that that would obviously affect the effectiveness. Plus, your insight into your supplement knowledge was very interesting...

    I finally have an idea I'm considering: Sleeping Supplements

    IDEA 
    What's up guys. A bit of background, I started a digital marketing business that had moderate success last year. Worked some projects, had some jobs, hustled here and there. Got a full time job last December and am currently working there. I'm making good money but the long, boring hours have...

    For Anybody Running a Web Design Agency: How Do You find Your Customers?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    What's up guys. I just started a full time job last week to pay the bills. It only solidified in my mind how much I want my entrepreneurial journey to start taking off. This year I had moderate success with my digital marketing agency. I managed a few projects and made a decent amount of...

    21 Years Old , $7K + Cashflow Business - How I kicked my a$$ into gear after years of action faking

    GOLD! HOT! FTE 
    Man, this kind of hit me in a different way. I live in Puerto Rico and for the past month have been working on a website for my digital agency. I decided to take the niche approach and made it Spanish so that my people here could benefit from my services. But now this got me thinking... Should...

    Looking for advice and feedback

    Wordpress is far and beyond a better host in terms of how customizable it is. It all depends on how you want to start the website out: do you want to launch the website with the stock photo library ready or start out with something a bit more basic and then build up?

    Looking for advice and feedback

    Yeah, Wix is not a good option for what is essentially a digital store. Depending on how much data you'll have in your website and store basically dictates the cost of the website. Do you have a tight budget?

    About a year into my entrepreneurial journey (Scared of wasting money)

    I've definitely thought of using that money to invest into another market but again, I just don't know where to start. The Marketing business is definitely a means to an end and I do plan to pursue other business ventures. However, since the skills I have help for this particular service I might...

    About a year into my entrepreneurial journey (Scared of wasting money)

    So about a year ago I posted a thread about how I quit my job at Popeyes to pursue copywriting. I've done a few good strides and even though I am very happy with what I've accomplished, I need some guidance. I just don't know what to do. Here's the "problem". I've gotten a good sum of money...

    Can't seem to sell our social media services

    HOT! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I have another question. If the customer asks for the pricing on the first meeting, should I be straight up and tell them the price? Or should I do something before that to soften the blow?

    Can't seem to sell our social media services

    HOT! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Thank you, man! This was extremely helpful. Do you have any tips on what I can do on a first meeting with a client? Should I, say, move it towards the close or just let the customer vent or maybe even end the meeting with a free offer (maybe a social media checkup of some sort) ?

    Can't seem to sell our social media services

    HOT! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    That's the problem, man. We have close to none. It's one of the reasons why I'm thinking of opening up another social media with a side hustle so we can gain some experience from it. But the little experience we've had is now lost to us because one of the business owners we worked with is not...

    Again, thank you for this insight. I hadn't really thought of it from the perspective of how much he makes in his food truck work. Goes to show how much I have to learn in getting into the business owner's head.
