    Trying to get back on track

    INTRO 
    I'm roughly 90% through the book now... and just read the part where @MJ DeMarco talks about Liquid Web and their customer service. I had to smile. I started using Liquid Web ~12 years ago and they've been by far the best hosting company I've ever used. I tell everyone I can about them. I can't...

    Gathering directory data?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Question - @MJ DeMarco might be a good person to chime in with his limo directory he built. If you're looking to build a directory for service providers in a given niche, where would you start for a basic starting list? Scrape an existing directory? I have a few ideas and I'm trying to decide...

    Launched my own clothing line (in less than 7 days)

    EXECUTION 
    I've certainly put a lot of thought into it, but it's still just an idea at this point - like all the other ideas out there from all the other entrepreneurs and wantrepreneurs. I am very serious though. I know there is a heavy demand for many of the products that are sold in the niche based on...

    What's your job ? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    My official title is "web operations". It just means I manage anything web related for the small company that employs me, because nobody else here knows how to do any of it. I mainly manage and maintain their e-commerce sites and online marketing, but I also do some graphic design, print...

    Launched my own clothing line (in less than 7 days)

    EXECUTION 
    In my opinion, that's the only way to make it work - you have to build communities that you can sell to. If you're just slanging shirts you can't really do it passively. You constantly have to come up with new designs. If you build a brand and a community around your brand you have a far better...

    Monetization ideas needed

    IDEA 
    No, you're right @MJ DeMarco , it will continue to decline. And I knew it was the wrong platform to focus on for revenue long ago. I'm just amazed that the traffic is still going strong and that it still brings in revenue, and the traffic numbers make me I feel like I'm not making the most of...

    EXECUTION 
    This is why Teespring campaigns were/are so profitable. Imagine having a niche website that has more than just shirts in a niche where the visitor not only likes the shirt but is drawn to your brand, identifies strongly with it, and wants to be a part of your community.

    Monetization ideas needed

    IDEA 
    No, but I do love the NSX. A buddy of mine has a beautiful '91. The cars in my forum are turbocharged Mitsubishis. As for the events suggestion, that is one possibility I used to think quite a bit about actually. There is only one decent sized event left for these cars these days - it's been...

    Monetization ideas needed

    IDEA 
    I know I really should be able to figure this out if I was to be looking at this with the right mindset. And I do have some ideas, but I also know that getting some fresh perspectives from people here that have the Fastlane mentality might help me look at a project I've been managing the same...

    Launched my own clothing line (in less than 7 days)

    EXECUTION 
    Creating a lifestyle brand has always been very appealing to me. I have an idea for a niche that I think could work, with clothing, products, and content geared towards that niche. I know that it would have to be very well executed with all of the t-shirt stores and blogs being launched every...

    Trying to get back on track

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the reply @Maite - yes, I am stretched a little thin at the moment. I have 4 main forces that are always competing for my time. My family (a wife and two young daughters), my '9-5' job (which I've come to hate), my side projects that make extra money in the evenings/weekends, and my...

    Feature suggestion - bookmarks

    Ahhh, yes, that would make sense. Maybe I should have made that a paid feature on my site too. :)

    Feature suggestion - bookmarks

    Bookmarks I've used this on my own Xenforo forum and it's a pretty nice feature. It's sort of like browser bookmarks, except for it allows users to see which threads others have bookmarked too - if they choose to allow people to see them. Might be a nice addition to the site.

    Trying to get back on track

    INTRO 
    :) I wasn't searching for that word because I feel I deserve to be successful, it was to find the thread where people were discussing the topic though. It was an interesting discussion that I wanted to go back and reply to.

    Is my association with the term "deserve" holding me back?

    MINDSET 
    I sometimes find myself wondering if I "deserve" to achieve my dreams. Sure I do. But I deserve it from myself, not from others, or the universe, or from life. I know some people use affirmations like that to try and motivate themselves. If that works for you, stick with it. One thing I...

    I searched for the term "deserve", hoping to find the first thread that drew me in to this site.

    INTRO 
    Of course, I go to do some forum searches and get the dreaded memory limit error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/discussf/public_html/community/library/Zend/Db/Statement/Mysqli.php on line 294 Gotta love forums LOL!

    INTRO 
    Oh the irony. Here I am registering an account on a forum to ask questions and try to contribute something that might help others. I got my start as an entrepreneur 15 years ago... building forums out of all things. Back then it was all about vBulletin. It's nice to see this site using Xenforo...
