    "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a STUPID book

    I guess, bro. But the book does address that point in terms of having what people want as "bait" to have them be interested in you and listen to you. What you're basically doing is boiling it all down to that one chapter (there might be more chapters expanding on this idea but I do remember one...

    I used AI to help me sell a 12K EUR AI&3D video course project - now what?

    - AI - 
    Congrats on that! Just out of curiosity: what is it exactly that you did for this 12k project? Did the company approach you to help with a course? Did you approach them? What exactly about your work made them willing to pay you that amount? What value is it to them to pay 12k up front? These...

    Have three sales meetings for the week, one didn't answer today. Have a lead to reengage tomorrow. I haven't been able to work on my fastlane idea but seeing that I'm so busy with the leads and the project I recently finished, I'm gonna double down on this since people are interested. I'm very...

    My dad got diagnosed with bladder cancer today

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hey man. I'm sorry to hear that. I have a few things I'd share with you. The book Anti-Cancer by David Servan-Schreiber is about a doctor who dedicated himself to find how to do the best you can to keep your health, avoid carcinogens and increase the odds of beating it. The other one would be...

    You know what, it might be interesting to test the waters with other Spanish speaking countries since it's my first language. For now I'll keep honing on my home country but since you had a good run it might be interesting to test that out for a future campaign.

    Would love to read it, too! Thanks for the reply, Andy. That's very interesting. Ran an experiment this weekend as I networked with a man who ran a fence building business. Told me he once did meta ads and got great results but stopped doing it. I went with offering the monthly subscription...

    SIDE HUSTLE - AI - WEB DESIGN 
    Yes, this is the part I'm slowly figuring out. Since I mostly did cold calls and referrals, it was either/or in those cases. Either they were interested out the gate (referrals) or they were half and half (cold calls) and it was easy to weed out each. Since these new leads are approaching me...

    Just got off a cold call. He was a plumber. I think I need to hone in on urgency. He had a really bad Google Business page that was still yielding results and I went with the angle that I've helped a plumber before and with a good pro website have gotten him results so if we combined that with...

    I understand there are a million web design threads but I'm doing this a bit more as a progress thread for myself and also to maybe to show it isn't as hard as you might think. I have another progress thread that has to do with a fastlane idea and am currently in the process of finishing the...

    So I'm trying to get the hang of AI and then tweaking afterwards. What I find is that a lot of times there are "tells" that some elements came from the first draft the AI made. Stuff like attached pic with the pill tag is AI's favorite thing to produce from what I've realized.

    My CENTS idea goes to the moon?!

    - AI - 
    So I finally got most of the ebook done and formatted. I need to polish a few things and like @Panos Daras suggested, my focus will be more on the information product and solution itself rather than an SaaS. I already designed the landing page, have looked up a lot of info on IBS communities...

    QUESTION INTRO 
    I feel honored as the first thread you tagged is from me haha but that being said, I agree. My honest suggestion is that yes, jobs are good experiences and good motivators to get off your a$$. If I were you and told you to choose one job, I would 100% tell you to either get into sales. IMO, it...

    Thank you for the feedback. I'll get right on that. I've spent most of my time in web design doing it myself and with wordpress, so I'm still gettingn used to AI and trying not to make it seem like churned out slop.

    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    So I set up a campaign last Friday and let the campaign run all through the weekend and I'll let it go through this week. I've gotten 8 leads. But I think something's either not clicking or the ad creative is showing up very poorly on Instagram. A lot of the leads that filled out the form on...

    Congrats, dude. Keep going! I've started working on my own landing page today. Are you still using Lovable for the websites? Cuz I've been using Antigravity and it's insane how far AI web design has gotten where I can just focus on tweaking the design and the sales copy. I've been doing web...

    Yeah, this is really helpful, too. Having a simple Google Calendar set up where I put the prospect in and notified them before the meeting cut my flake rate way down.
