    Quora thoughts?

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I find Quora to be an extremely addictive platform. They really, REALLY know how to keep a person reading. And since the primary thing to do on Quora is read, if you show up there, you can get in front of a more literate audience. So if your products and services are more geared towards a...

    Advice Wanted; How Should I Respond to This?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm not an experienced upworker, but I am a freelance copywriter. Questions: What was the total final word count? Was it 4500 words per article, or 4500 for all three? What was the difficulty of the subject matter? Was it a common-knowledge topic, or an obscure area that would require any...

    Quora thoughts?

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Here's an instructive article: I Got Permanently Banned from Quora and I’m (Kinda) Not Sure Why Summary: Guy writes 10,000 words a week on Quora and becomes a top writer in categories like business. The strategy drives far more traffic and signups to his website than Instagram or any other...

    Need Life Advice/Very Long Rant (Mid 30s, Live w/Parents)

    RANT 
    Regarding the one-way flight, one way that I've handled this is to buy a fully-refundable return ticket for a date 3-4 weeks after my arrival, and then just cancel the ticket the day after I arrive in the country. The fully-refundable fare is outrageous (like $2500 instead of $600, for...

    Lex DeVille's - I Deleted My Upwork Account...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm curious about this. Is this a greedy move on Upwork's part? They've been pushing their paid options for a while; now everyone has to adhere to them or be left out. Is this a value-add to the freelancers so that it weeds out the bottom-feeders? Is this a win-win? Or where do you see...

    Supplement idea: manufacturers cannot produce it - what to do now?

    IDEA 
    This doesn't sound like a definitive impossibility - YET. Is there a creative "back door access" approach that you can take to market this? For instance... Can YOU make the supplement without processing aids? If you can but they can't, then it's not that they CAN'T. It's that they're...

    I am practically hyperventilating at how AMAZING this document is, and I'm only halfway through. I feel like sprinting. This is so good! Thank you @Roz for the post and @LibertyForMe for the original share. If this is not enough to open up your eyes to a new way of seeing, I don't know what...

    Need Life Advice/Very Long Rant (Mid 30s, Live w/Parents)

    RANT 
    I don't think you could improve on @Johnny boy 's offer. I mean, that's as good as it gets. But I also think you need an enormous dose of hope. It sounds like life looks really bleak to you. Everywhere you look, it's pain and misery and sorrow and bondage. At the moment, it sounds like you...

    Hey Costafarian, That's a tough spot to be in. I just want to acknowledge that. I know how it feels. I didn't buy my first vehicle until I was in my late 20s. I was living in my parents' home, making minimum wage at a part-time job, which was all I could find in rural East Tennessee where we...

    Mail-In VHS "Box-O-Tapes" Business Idea

    IDEA 
    I like the idea. I was unaware that Walmart and Walgreens did this kind of service, so there may be lots of other people who are also unaware of this. If they run across your site before they discover that it's also at Wally-world, all the better for you. I'd run a pilot offer where you...

    VikingRobotHipster & the plight of Ebay LED Makeup Mirrors

    INTRO 
    Glad my feedback was helpful to you. Regarding the name VikingRobotHipster, yeah, it's kind of off-putting, but then again, if it's just your ebay username, that's not a big deal. I understand that lots of people have a strange or quirky ebay username. I've been an ebay user since like 1999...

    VikingRobotHipster & the plight of Ebay LED Makeup Mirrors

    INTRO 
    I checked out your listing. The copy is good - the story about craning your neck to see in the vehicle mirror is right on. But you're missing one crucial detail. Nowhere does it say if this is a normal mirror on one side and a magnifying mirror on the other side. One of the photos hints at it...
