    Why I Work on 2.5 Projects Simultaneously

    Before I begin, I'll preface that I know working on multiple projects at once is sinful; it's better to do one thing really well than multiple things mediocre. That was my reality for the better part of my 20s and yeah, I was a dumbass for it. But looking back, I've chalked it up as necessary...

    A Big'Ol Thank You To MJ Demarco And Everyone To The Forum

    Better late than never, friend. Welcome (give or take two years)!

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Because I realized I'm kinda hot garbage at sales (at least for my own stuff; for some reason, I manage to do really well helping clients market and sell their stuff), I'm reading "Triggers" by Joseph Sugarman every night before bed. Not sure what I'll read after that. Potentially re-read...

    Video game creator

    ^ This Also, read up on Stardew Valley. iirc it was made by one guy on his nights after working as a server/waiter for a couple of years and once it was presentable, he pitched the idea to Chucklefish (an indie publisher) and once it launched, became a millionaire within a week and some change...

    Do I Really Need A Daily Schedule?

    MINDSET 
    It's about finding a system that works for you. I know a bunch of people who thrive with a daily schedule where they block off time and they constantly nail it. Me, if I get distracted with something (whether it's a useful activity that came up or not), I feel overwhelmed with everything else...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    So nothing much new to report yet though I got a few questions at the end for anyone who's knowledgeable. I've had about two dozen or so people respond to my Facebook post wanting to learn more about helping me generate leads with more than half of them saying they already knew a few people...

    Anyone have any experience selling stickers online?

    I just stumbled upon this thread so sorry for being a bit late to the party. I can back @Kid 's statement: Printful is definitely the way to go. I started using Printify last year in the middle of the pandemic as Printful's fulfillment was super bogged down (a lot of people complaining about...

    I’m a selfish bastard, and that has caused me to fail.

    You know, OP, this is a super interesting take. I can relate a ton but admittedly, I had the opposite problem as you: I was way too giving and then would rarely receive any reciprocation. On one hand, my wanting to help people so badly was a toxic trait. It boiled down to me trying to prove my...

    BOUNCE RATE: Why are people leaving my order page while already filling in their info?

    To clarify a little bit about what I was saying earlier: I know the license models, price ranges, and products are within a proven market. I know a few friends who do the same thing. But my comments were on how they're presented and how that might affect visitor => customer conversion. The...

    BOUNCE RATE: Why are people leaving my order page while already filling in their info?

    Yeah, what @Bekit said. Though my question is.. if the product is digital, why is there a need to collect shipping information at all? That's just one extra barrier before the purchase. Another factor to consider is how's the value proposition for your products? Going off your website, you have...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Ayyyy writer friend! I knew there had to be a few of us lurking around here somewhere. But yeah, the inner struggle over the past few years has been exceptionally frustrating. This whole time, I would ruminate on how I have all the ingredients for success, I know the recipe, but every time I...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Okay, a little update already. Greasin' the skids of salesmanship and trying to dust off my client-finding skills. Because it's a long weekend and most businesses (or at least the decision-makers I wanna talk to) are probably gonna be out until Tuesday morning, I figured I'd start plugging my...

    Progress Log: Investing for Passive Income

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Ahh, that makes a lot more sense as to why the model you're working with isn't truly passive the way you want it. Would there be any way to outsource fulfillment then or is it not worth the investment or delegation at this point? I guess in my head, I'm just thinking about ways for you to free...

    Sup?

    INTRO 
    Awesome! As someone who works almost entirely online, it's been the most fun I've had in my professional life despite any ups and downs. I'm always amazed by all the cool stuff people come up with whether it's e-commerce, apps, services, automation -- you name it. But yeah, I hope you knock it...

    Yeah, I get that. Though I'm curious, what was the question you were gonna ask?

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    Since my progress diary on my e-commerce website has been pretty useful to keep me on task (that and I love reading through some of the progress threads on here and seeing people be successful), I figured I'd do one for my content strategy business as well. "Metz, you foolish fool, why are you...

    FIRST SALE!

    MINDSET 
    That's awesome! Congratulations, friend. It's a great feeling to make the first successful sale. If you don't mind my asking, what line of work are you in?

    I can't focus on anything

    I can't focus on anything

    MINDSET 
    Well, like I said, I encourage you to shift your perspective from "if I choose x, I'm missing out on y and z choices" to "if I choose x, I'll be able to potentially do a, b, and c down the line." You'll also come to find that the doors to y and z were never fully shut to begin with; there are...

    Sup?

    INTRO 
    Hey, Vinny. I know I'm a little late to the welcome party but I'm curious: how goes the soul searching? And prior to your newfound freedom, what kinda jobs did you work in the 9-to-5 grind?
