    Launched cannabis culture newspaper into stores - results here

    EXECUTION 
    I just wanted to say congrats! This is really awesome and definitely a good idea. I know SO many cannabis companies are struggling with where to spend marketing dollars - just two days ago I had a call with a gentleman who owns a company who was trying to find some "workaround" to advertise on...

    AI to Create Emails for Shopify Stores

    MARKETING 
    Super interesting - it'll be really interesting to see how this progresses in the future. Right now though, not there yet. The only thing that makes me wonder is these emails are mostly going to be geared towards pushing sales and promotions it seems like. This AI (at least at this stage in...

    Critique my Instagram @TryScrubs

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    So have others have said, the Instagram needs some work (no offense, good on you for taking action and getting this far!). One interesting angle for content you could take, both now and after you get your product, is sharing doctors stories. Sharing the stories of the people you want to serve...

    fave podcasts (entrepreneurship)

    Andy Frisella - MFCEO project. Takes a bit to warm up to the guy but it's very good. How I Built This - extremely well produced interviewing entrepreneurs who started some of the largest companies. The GaryVee audio experience - Lots of good info about all different parts of entrepreneurship...

    I wrote my eBook.

    EXECUTION 
    First, I want to say congratulations on your e-book: that's amazing and good for you! Second, I just wanted to give a small piece of advice. I would hone this in WAY more. That's an incredible broad audience to try targeting right out of the gate. I would narrow it down "niche down to blow up"...

    Looking for Sources to Genuinely Learn About Online Marketing!

    MARKETING 
    Like Razorcut said above, that's a LOT to focus on all at once. I would pick ONE of those to start with and focus on getting that down before trying to master all of those - if that's even possible for one person.

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've been on this forum for awhile, don't know why I've never said I read the book! Amazing, of course. Reinforced a lot of beliefs I already had and added even more perspective on things and made me think of things in a different light.

    I CAN't get feedback from my audience

    HOT! 
    I think you should start this - NOW. Don't wait to get your business going, this WILL get your business going. If you start a Podcast and have one guest, they're then going to promote that podcast to their audience - which will likely consist of 2 kinds of people: agents + people interested in...

    Just launched my second product but stuck with social media branding.

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    It's really hard for me to say without a lot of context, that's a call you're going to have to make. Lifestyle photos are ALWAYS a good idea, for pretty much all platforms. Basically what I was trying to get at though is that building the brand can (and I would argue should) include relevant...

    Just launched my second product but stuck with social media branding.

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Hey Ben, without knowing the product it's a little difficult to give more tangible advice (not asking for you to tell me what it is though). But I'll do the best I can with more general advice. So for things like Facebook, I would go more the route of providing value to the users that somehow...

    Firing A Client - It's Not Always a Good Fit

    Hahaha sounds like I need to implement better processes then. Still in the learning phase here, good advice though. Well I wish you the best with the client.

    Firing A Client - It's Not Always a Good Fit

    Well there in lies my first mistake I guess haha. I see, that makes sense. My thought process like I said was kind of take opportunities as they come, you never know what it might lead to. But that’s a good point about wasting time. Ah, I didn’t articulate that properly. I was more referring...

    Firing A Client - It's Not Always a Good Fit

    I don't share this to complain, but more as an interesting lesson and to hear feedback. To give a little backstory, I'm working on a mixture of freelancing and building my own business centered around online advertising - mostly pertaining to paid social (FB&IG). Now my mindset in the...

    Leveraging An Audience - Business Ideas?

    IDEA 
    Glad to hear you've got one going already! If you can get away with using MailCheat(Chimp) while it's free that's fine but eventually, I would suggest moving off MailCheat(Chimp) to something better. There's a lot of softwares out there, ActiveCampaign is a good one but do your own research. But you're...

    Leveraging An Audience - Business Ideas?

    IDEA 
    First, CONGRATS on such a solid channel, very admirable. But wow I'm a broken record in my responses but my first suggestion would be to start building an email list ASAP. Not 100% sure what kind of graphic design type videos, but I would assume you can create unique lead magnets based around...

    Commandment of Control: Instagram kills Meme accounts, teen loses income overnight

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    You're definitely right in a lot of ways. But for the sake of argument and a different perspective, I wanted to answer. You have to diversify. You can use these platforms to drive traffic/sales/whatever it may be, the big thing is not being entirely reliant on ONE thing. Also, building...

    How would you build your email list fast IF YOU HAD TO...

    MARKETING 
    Another way may be to find other people that currently have an email list that contains your ideal customers. Partner with them, offer something valuable to them and/or their list, give them 80-90% affiliate commissions on your products, do JV partnerships, etc. This was an interesting Podcast...

    Brand new forum - ideas for drawing in new members?

    IDEA 
    So I first wanted to touch on this - you're right you don't own them. However you can require an email address entered to join (make it a private group) which then translates to an asset you DO own (an email list). This can then be used to promote the forum or whatever else. As you said, forums...

    Facebook ada - how to properly split test?

    MARKETING 
    I wouldn't necessarily say that. If your CTR is absolute garbage and CPC is extremely high, it's okay to kill something after 2-3000 impressions. Typically means your audience match isn't a good fit or your creative just isn't cutting it. But I will agree that if your front-end metrics are good...
