    Is it possible to invade the United States?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Is it possible? Yes. Will it be easy? Not at all. And even if someone wanted to invade, with how connected the world economy is, it'd plunge everyone else into chaos, and everyone -- especially the wealthy politicians who rubber stamp wars -- hate losing money. The conflict in Ukraine is...

    If you could only pass on one life lesson to everyone on this forum, what would it be?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Get out of your own head and just do the thing. Also, the judgment you're worried about is more than likely you judging yourself. Everyone else is so absorbed in their life that they probably don't think about you at all.

    How many of you play video games?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    If so, what games have you been playing lately?

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Hey everyone, it's been a while so I figured I'd give y'all an update. I'm happy to report that things are actually going really well. I'm finally scaling my business effectively, super focused, and -- dare I say -- having fun with the process. I'm still doing content marketing strategy and am...

    [JOURNEY] I made a list of 100 money-making fastlanes (with monthly revenue displayed)

    HOT! 
    Awesome work, Lamine! I noticed you had a newsletter sign-up at the top. What would that newsletter entail? Anything beyond "here are the rankings for this month/week?"

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    So in addition to my update, I wanted to talk a little about two specific topics: how I identified the current market I'm trying to serve; and profitability and money calculations justifying why it's lucrative. Identifying a Market for Digital Content Strategy I've sprinkled my rationale...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    UPDATE While I didn't make my goal of closing on 2-3 new clients last month, I did manage to make my first close this week with one of the real estate brokers. I'm also very close to netting my second contract (the software dev company) and potentially third, roping in two separate departments...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    A question I'd like to pose to those reading. Talking with @thechosen1 about it yesterday got me to thinking and I'm curious what y'all think, whether you're also content writers/strategists or businesspeople who've hired people for your marketing strategy before. When looking for a company to...

    Fastlane Opportunities for Writers

    HOT! IDEA 
    So are you still doing copywriting stuff for solopreneurs or how did you pivot? Feel free to link to other threads you might've made if you already answered this question elsewhere. I just enjoy learning how others adapt is all. :)

    Fastlane Opportunities for Writers

    HOT! IDEA 
    Any time, friend. I apologize if you already answered this earlier but I'm curious: what prompted you to start this thread in the first place? Been brainstorming ways to scale your own writing income or just making conversation with the good people of the forum?

    Fastlane Opportunities for Writers

    HOT! IDEA 
    Going back to the original questions, I just wanted to weigh in having worked in this area for almost ten years now. I think there a lot of Fastlane opportunities for writers BUT it requires one to think a bit outside the box for it to be a lucrative business. A lot of people who want to make...

    My First Foray Into Ecommerce

    EXECUTION 
    Could you send me a link to that Reddit post if you still have it, friend @thechosen1 ? I want to R E S E A R CH. But yeah, tomorrow I'll be brainstorming a few new design ideas before even beginning on the designs.. concepts that I can write stories around and see if -- when the time comes to...

    My First Foray Into Ecommerce

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Over the past two weeks I've been experimenting with paid advertisement, something I don't really know much about. While I've set like $500ish on fire with different strategies that ultimately didn't net a single sale (still getting a few return customers though), I've learned a ton and...

    Poll - Three forks in the road

    MARKETING 
    If you don't mind my asking, what are your stumbling blocks to scale? But yeah, sounds like the trail is non-negotiable so.. definitely do that at least (at least imo).

    Poll - Three forks in the road

    MARKETING 
    I guess my two questions are: How important is that hike to you? How important is striking it out and testing one of your ideas and, providing you still have a good chunk of change left over, can get something off the ground before searching for that second 9-to-5?

    What's Your Advice on Traversing the Desert of Attrition?

    EXECUTION 
    Lately, I know a lot of what I'm doing (direct lead generation through cold calling/personal networking and then paid advertisement) requires time to work. Perhaps I'm impatient. But I suppose my biggest struggle is figuring out how to suss feedback out of the void -- the orange echo gumballs...

    What are you proud of this week? How did you win?

    MINDSET 
    Just stumbled upon this rather wholesome thread and wanted to revive it. After 2+ years of stagnating, this month (and this past week especially) I've been learning more, doing more, and putting myself out there more than I've done in all that time. Especially with all the internal anxiety I've...

    Real Estate Agent - Not a Fastlane Gig?

    This. I'm not a real estate agent/broker but I've helped people in RE and home financing scale their presence and start making more money. I think the biggest factor is whether or not you're content working solely within the framework of your job: you work for a brokerage and keep working with...

    Anyone ever put you down economically?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Between my age when I first started (and sometimes even now) and my focus on writing, I was consistently condescended to, especially because people didn't understand the value of what I was doing. People would tell me I would be better off working at McDonald's, that I'm wasting my time, stupid...
