    Growing an email list with Google Ads

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Thoughts on this from my experience working at constant contact: I don't think it would have been because of mentioning "credit card." I think what tripped their spam/fraud filters is more likely the fact that you have email addresses from worldwide IPs, with continual signups happening from...

    Why not take off your coat and stay a while?

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Love the thread title. I view the forum as someone's comfortable living room where I'm welcome to hang out any time with likeable people who accept me. That's priceless. I have learned sooooo much from others here. I can't see why anyone would throw that away and choose spammy self...

    Colorado/Denver Lunch Meeting

    MEETUPS 
    I'm not into the super bowl, so that wouldn't affect my likelihood of coming, as long as other people are going to be there.

    The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...

    HOT! 
    Here's my observation, as someone who does not consume mainstream media. I sense that people have real fear about this, but I can't tell if that fear is justified or just something manufactured by skillful fearmongers. The media has really heightened and honed their ability to breed real fear...

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    I would argue that this is only applicable if you add a caveat and say, "IF you are prone to trying to control the people you help, THEN you should let go of that need." Helping people doesn't intrinsically imply that you're simultaneously trying to control them. By this logic, every teacher...

    Money & Food

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I'm not sure how accurate this is, but here's a cost of living comparison between your area and my area. Looks pretty comparable, although it looks like meat is a fair bit more for you. Yeah raspberries and strawberries are going to be a splurge, especially at this time of year. I'd stick to...

    Money & Food

    HOT! INVESTING 
    When I was growing up, my mom succeeded in cooking for us for $1 per person per meal. People were pretty shocked at that. But it would obviously be more now. Here's some practical notes on how food costs look for me: Right now, I am spending about $400-500 a month on groceries for me and my...

    The 2020 Fastlane Summit "Social" Thread

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    I noticed the Musical Instrument Museum on Google maps... looks pretty cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_Instrument_Museum_(Phoenix) https://mim.org/ Anyone in the local area have an opinion on whether it's worth it?

    My 11 year old was diagnosed with autism yesterday

    HEALTH 
    Sorry to hear about the challenges you're walking through. One thing you might find interesting and encouraging is the story of Temple Grandin, who had autism. There's a film about her life, as well as YouTube videos by her...

    My procrastination habits make me miserable

    I was in the same boat. I came up with an unconventional solution for myself. https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/how-i-hacked-my-dopamine-to-train-and-reward-desired-work-behaviors-and-halt-procrastination.90630/ If nothing else, it might help to spark your own creative ideas...

    Sold a small apartment and I am not sure what to do with it

    Very interesting. What is a Land Contract? How did it work?

    Commission only sales job?

    HOT! 
    I would look into whether it's actually an MLM. Essentially it's the same thing. Not worth it. There are plenty of ways you can learn sales while walking a generous salary plus commission.

    How to start when disabled ?

    Hi Niko, and welcome to the forum. I'm glad you found the books. I would encourage you to follow the story of Jon Morrow for a bit of inspiration and a glimpse of what is possible for someone with a disability. https://citizenaffiliate.com/the-extraordinary-story-of-jon-morrow/...

    Am I scamming my clients?

    There's an old parable that goes like this (copied this version from here): =================== The Graybeard engineer retired and a few weeks later the Big Machine broke down, which was essential to the company’s revenue. The Manager couldn’t get the machine to work again so the company...

    Free Products: Difference Between Promotion and Being Ripped Off

    Well, wait a minute, now. It's a totally different thing if you're getting a cold pitch from people who reached out to YOU for free stuff. But if you are the one reaching out the the influencers, then I see it as totally legitimate that they respond with, "send it and if it like it, I will...

    Free Products: Difference Between Promotion and Being Ripped Off

    Handle this the same way you would handle any cold pitch spam emails. Most you will ignore. The better ones you might consider. But you are under no obligation to give anyone anything for free. It might be valuable to think through a policy where you define the minimum threshold of what kind...

    Amazing tool. Wow! Thanks for sharing! I'm surprised this doesn't have like 60 likes already. Really gives you a lot of good things to think about, and ensures that you're not forgetting anything.
