    Any 'Boosted Post' facebook successes out there?

    MARKETING 
    I just want to add to this: We tried Facebooks "Lead Conversions" where it grabs the email address for you; and it was $1.20+ per lead (compared with the $0.07 we got!). We've also tried sending to a landing page and capturing the email, rather than having them just comment it - and it was...

    Any 'Boosted Post' facebook successes out there?

    MARKETING 
    Haha depends on the demographic, we were just targeting Australia, and the religious people are a minority. 'Xmas' is very common here. But good pickup.

    Any 'Boosted Post' facebook successes out there?

    MARKETING 
    It all comes down to content, and what market you're in. I own a fitness business, we get HUGE engagement - but we know our audience. We also have a large budget, which let us experiment and have a whole heap of failures. You really just need to experiment, but also put yourself in the shoes of...

    Can you recommend a good website host?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I own a web agency, and we use Siteground for all of our clients. This is for WordPress. They have the best support I've ever seen (far better than WPengine). Pretty fast too, especially when they have Google PageSpeed installed on the server to optimise your site automatically when you turn it...

    Collin's "Hedgehog Concept"

    MINDSET 
    I used to neglect this, and say that it doesn't matter what I'm passionate about (because truly the market does not care). But I unfortunately am not one of those people that can work 7 days a week and pull late-night sessions every single day on a business that I'm not passionate about. And...

    What's really holding you back?

    MINDSET 
    The only thing keeping you in a job is yourself. There is literally no reason you can't start a business at night and on weekends. Sleep less, stop watching TV, cut back on social encounters. Jobs are shackles, but those shackles are weak as hell when you have a little determination.

    Got a Sales Question for Jordan Belfort? The Wolf of Wall Street? Post Here

    MARKETING 
    $2500 is peanuts on the deals we've put together by using his system. It's worth 10x that. The guy is scum, but he sure knows how to teach.

    Back To Basics - Business in Old Industries

    EXECUTION 
    @mars - Basically just cold-called a heap of tradesman in the industry. This was the fastest route - they told me exactly where they bought the product, what brand, where that brand was manufactured, and why they chose that brand. Here's a tip, I didn't call up trying to sell them, I called up...

    Back To Basics - Business in Old Industries

    EXECUTION 
    Hey LibertyForMe! Unfortunately this one hit the sidelines as the barrier for entry seemed insurmountable at the time. Australian Standards on the product we were looking to import were very complicated. The chinese models were nowhere near the right standard, and the current manufacturers (all...

    Not to hi-jack, just to say your timing is unfortunately the same as: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elanlee/exploding-kittens - as I write this he is over $1.3m in under a day! Similar niche, he just had a HUGE following. Definitely shows the size of the market for such games!

    Congrats on your success! Just wondering where you targeted prior to the launch - did you talk to any bloggers or traditional media .etc? How did you get traffic to your KS page upon launch? Thanks in advance, and good luck getting even more funding!

    Are low cost "tripwire" offers unethical?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    It depends - if your $7 eBook actually gives $7 worth of value and isn't just a pure upsell, then I see no problem at all.

    What type of martial arts should I practice?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You really only need 6 months of training in each to be competent to beat 99% of people you'll meet on the street. I was lucky enough to find a school that taught both; most MMA schools will these days I would imagine.

    What type of martial arts should I practice?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the ultimate in one-on-one self defence; doesn't really work with multiple opponents. Muay Thai is the best striking art in my opinion - anything with hard sparring is what you need. I'm not against Krav Maga, but have heard it's hit and miss with the schools, anything...

    Getting scammed by a supplier from Alibaba!

    Edit: Noticed you said you paid via PayPal. Did they try to get you to pay via another means before agreeing on this? I.e. Western Union? PayPal isn't normally the method of payment preferred by scammers, they're very strict and have solid conflict resolution. You'll get your money back.
