    EXECUTION 
    I prefer facebook/social media as a funnel to my site. Daily posts of projects. Boosted posts for sales/offers. Constant running ad for likes at $5 a day

    Start Out Personal Trainer

    PT is not a fastlane path if you are planning on being the only PT in this business. You are basically a brick layer getting paid only per your own job you are doing. Except in this economy I would rather be an actual brick layer than a personal trainer. The market is saturated and filled...

    Good luck man. There is a decent size niche of spenders for sure. I think you're on the right track.

    EXECUTION 
    Good work. As someone who has been around the industry it's good to see another on this board. My best piece of advice for scaling this business it to surround yourself with efficient, knowledgeable workers. You need to focus on building a dream team of employees with your direction and talent...

    Best way to target on Facebook ads?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Finding your audience trends is for sure a good way to target. Instead of hitting mechanic meme page look to target people who like "horsepower TV" or "power block". FB tends to let you target general interests and sometimes popular meme pages are not on the radar of those interests. Targeting...

    How to scale up Facebook Ads?

    MARKETING 
    I ran 22 different combos for demographics before I found the one that consistently worked the best for my products. Something that also matters greatly is your creative. Every fb post I boost is the same targeted group with a different product or different creative. I use slightly edited photos...

    How to "adjust" your wife accordingly

    LANDFILL 
    Interesting rich vs poor mindset theory. I have my own theory. Poor people tend to think in monthly "payments". They never look deeply into finance charges or depreciation. They only care about getting something "RIGHT NOW". They have very little patience and are strong impulse buyers. This...

    Uber Knows...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I would bet that autonomous vehicles take similar path of implementation and adoption as Smart Phones. Smartphones first came around in the mid 90s and just now are close to being in 80% of the mobile phone market. The older generation are the hold ups on switching. I would assume as that older...

    Introduction Into Real Life Business the Old Fashioned Way

    Target realtors or anyone with rental property. They are more likely to pay to have it done than an individual.

    Only time seeing MLM schemes on social media gets to me is whenever it's someone relatively close. I have a good friend's fiance on fb that is peddling "it works" pyramid scheme items.... I don't have the heart to tell them it's a pyramid scheme, so I just remain silent.

    Motorcycle Rentals, What is required

    EDIT: I just realized this was a dinosaur thread that was raised from the dead. Sorry to continue to bump something old. I would make sure the niche is there. If the location isn't a popular destination for motorcycles then a rental shop will have a tough time surviving. The competition is...

    Almost got sucked into an mlm tonight

    HOT! 
    How does everyone handle someone they do normal business with pitching them a random MLM? Last week I just had an older established business owner start a pitch for an MLM... Him: "I'm doing something that LOTS of other business owners are doing in the area, it takes little to no start up cost...

    Any 'Boosted Post' facebook successes out there?

    MARKETING 
    I would like to touch on something else that @codo3500 mentioned. Social Proof. I first thought "paying for likes" was crazy and BS... "Who does that?"(closed minded thought on my part)... But with FB's algorithm's being completely against business pages spreading naturally it is a must for...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is the truth. Street racing is dangerous and the payoff isn't worth the risk. A local doctor died in a wreck a couple years ago in his Porsche racing a old Gen 4 Trans Am... If it wasn't bad enough he was killed, the driver of the other car died as well as an innocent in a 3rd vehicle...

    How to practice sales?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Go out and personally connect with other sales people. If you have someone that sells a product/service at their physical business see if you can answer phones for them on your off days just to learn how they interact with people. Just make sure the people you are picking are actual quality...

    Any 'Boosted Post' facebook successes out there?

    MARKETING 
    I think it all depends on your product and market. I've had great success with boosted posts selling to local customers within 60 miles of my location. I use solid images and short, easy to read descriptions. I'll give the latest example of success from this prior week. We picked up a...

    Having trouble getting out of bed in the morning?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    We're talking a lot about waking up which is great, but what about the other factor? The amount of sleep you get in a night. What's everyone's average amount of sleep? I feel like I currently get around 7hrs which is plenty imo. 6 is doable daily for myself if I have projects going on.

    Facebook Local Ads

    MARKETING 
    Have you thought about offering your services to very small used car dealers (~20 cars or smaller)? More often than people realize, these small dealers have a hard time finding good detail guys. It would be nice to get a steady stream of income weekly from the same small dealerships.
