    Gold and silver backed digital currency (Lode.One)

    INVESTING 
    Anything backed by something real is better than fiat in ways of wealth preservation but the prices of metals are still being manipulated by derivatives so the crypto is too by association. The value of anything is determined by the willingness of someone else to pay for it. I guess the value...

    A typical sidewalker wake up call

    INTRO 
    Welcome! Once you open pandora's box, you cannot close it. Don't let fear hold you back, but it's ok to be realistic with your expectations. Even at your age, you have plenty of time to take advantage of the compound effect. Keep going with your thought process and guiding your children in the...

    Rank and Rent SEO - thoughts and resources?

    This is a good option and I actually have done this. I found that the people I was trying to sell leads to were very proud of their company almost like an identity thing. They didnt feel comfortable at all with any other name probably for lack of understanding. There are always ways to...

    Rank and Rent SEO - thoughts and resources?

    Yea. I own a local business and use SEO to rank it. It's much easier to rank a real business and turn it into profit. I have two main issues with the rank and rent model: 1. It's difficult to get a GMB listing for a fake business. You can do it, but if Google catches you doing something shady...

    About to have my first sales meeting

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I've definitely recorded sales calls. For large projects I wanted to make sure I could record the conversation without having to take notes. Other times it's was to listen to myself and learn from the experience in the third person.

    Financial Minimalism is Anti-Fastlane/Unscription

    MINDSET RANT 
    I didn't want the video but I can attest to the difference between focusing on saving pennies vs focusing on making dollars. About 3 years ago I decided to stop worrying about trying to save and instead focused on increasing my income. My thought is that I can focus on the finite amount I have...

    Sales Pros: Question when selling to those who aren't the decision maker.

    EXECUTION 
    I just did this recently: closed a sale through an employee. When I found out she wasn't the decision maker, I asked her what kinds of things the owner is concerned about regarding the deal. From there on I structured the conversation around those things. The next day, she emailed me to say...

    SEO Business Model

    I know someone that, about 4-5 years ago, started a website and wrote one article per day for a year. After about 1.5 years he was earning 50k/mo from affiliate commissions (VPN service). He let it ride and slacked off for two years and continued to earn, though less and less each month. Had he...

    An example of marketing (gaslighting/manipulation) in politics

    No kidding. It's been this way forever but it's never been this easy to scale it and sway the masses at this velocity.

    An example of marketing (gaslighting/manipulation) in politics

    MARKETING 
    Warning: If politics triggers you, tread lightly. No matter what side you find yourself, I implore you to look at this post as a study in marketing and try to forget about your personal convictions for the moment. Last night I clicked on a Youtube suggestion that was a clip from Trump's town...

    Sucked back into the Slowlane?

    MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    I contracted a Salesforce consultant to help one of my clients get set up and running with the CRM and Pardot. We are charging 175/hr for them. She has a full time job and does this on the side. It's very flexible and she works on her terms. Could you do something like this? Find some clients...

    Building a Construction Business Alongside a Marketing Business

    MARKETING 
    Update: Construction Both of my businesses have doubled this year. At the beginning of the year, it was simple to manage both. Now, it's not so simple. Last Monday I hit a breaking point. I decided that it's too difficult to be out in the field working "on the job" while trying to stay on top...

    The narratives are already in place to draw out the election process as long as possible. If Biden wins the popular vote, Dems will claim victory and the media will rejoice. If Trump wins the pop, the Dems and media will keep counting for as long as possible until January and try to get Pelosi...

    Based on your post, you have the ability to write. Go to Upwork and start applying for gigs to write. I'm sure you can find some sort of niche whether it be Argentina or some other area where you have some sort of knowledge or experience. Only a year ago I found myself in a tough spot. All of...

    How do people charge hourly?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Ahh, I see. You should come out and say it sooner so we can help you faster. You are in a common situation. I've been there before. How I handled it was this: I told them that we've gone through 2 rounds of revisions and they get one more, but after this, the project is complete. When I do...

    How do people charge hourly?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I try to avoid charging by the hour and usually only do for clients that are already paying a monthly retainer. Once in a great while I'll charge hourly for something really small. Sometimes I'll have them pay for x hours upfront and bill for any additional hours afterward. It just depends on...

    How do people charge hourly?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Any sort of freelancing business is going to revolve around relationships and trust is the foundation for relationships. Trust is what gets you hired. Positioning is what allows you to charge 120/hr. I've been charging 120/hr for 3 years now. Why that much? Because that's what I decided my...
