Just launched our first Kickstarter! (small adventure game project)
EXECUTIONTime for a bit of an update: We're at about 60% now with 11 days to go, so it's looking ok but by no means guaranteed. However, we're definitely not hitting multiples of our goal, which is sort of what everyone hopes for. In addition to the previously mentioned Staff Pick, we were also...- splok

Millennials are Jerks, And Boomers Are to Blame
NOTABLE! PEOPLEIt feels like people forget this when topics like this spring up. Those stupid "kids" are always doing those things that everyone hates... the world is going to hell... etc. etc. Don't get me wrong. I can be a cynical bastard (apparently like a proper Gen-Xer), but as long as everyone is...- splok

Just launched our first Kickstarter! (small adventure game project)
EXECUTIONThanks for the link! We've been trying to do some media outreach, though I get the feeling that some of the bigger outlets want to wait until you've gotten some traction (if not until you're a sure thing) before they'll give you much attention. With the number of campaigns harassing them for...- splok

Just launched our first Kickstarter! (small adventure game project)
EXECUTIONThanks! We're 12% in at the moment. It's not a great start, but then we didn't start promoting it at all until the launch of the campaign so we didn't get a huge wave of support on the first day. If anyone is looking for lessons to learn about Kickstarter, that's probably the big one...- splok

Just launched our first Kickstarter! (small adventure game project)
EXECUTIONThanks! Testing has mostly been in-house thusfar, though we'll probably try to reach out to family/friends to do some more thorough testing before launch. That may not be a great option for everyone, but luckily we have a bit of a network of people who are familiar with games (one of the perks...- splok

Just launched our first Kickstarter! (small adventure game project)
EXECUTIONI'm part of a small game studio that has been working for a couple of years, mostly living on work-for-hire and other jobs. However, for the past few months, we've been trying to get our first serious original project off the ground, and it's finally starting to come along. We've just launched...- splok

Switching to fastlane - Your odds are better in europe then US?
OFF-TOPICNot really from my experience, as least for social class (though they do seem to dislike people that exploit the welfare system). The "haves" tend to be a little embarrassed about it even. This gets mentioned a lot as the reason why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante- splok

Switching to fastlane - Your odds are better in europe then US?
OFF-TOPICYour chart is measuring something, but it has nothing to do with fastlane. Your odds probably ARE better in Europe if your metric is simply living a non-shitty life. Norway is higher than the US on the mobility/equality list because it has free education and a more homogeneous culture that...- splok

Trouble sleeping. Advice please
MINDSETLots of great suggestions above! A couple of other things that supposedly help: Unless you spend a lot of time outdoors, you may not be getting enough vitamin D. You could try taking some in the morning. Try to minimize blue light a couple of hours before bed. Flux is a free program that does...- splok

Two Choices, Any Advice?
MINDSETIs it something you can generate manually until you get traction? If not, I would avoid this unless it's something you're comfortable devoting LOTS of time to. I say this especially because you don't know how to monetize the idea. If it's a product that you can sell, then great, but then that...- splok

Should I launch PDF Ebook or an online course?
PUBLISHINGMake both. Give away a free chapter or two of your pdf to build a list. Sell your pdf for $10, then upsell to your much more expensive course.- splok

Is this Fastlane? $700K/day. LOL.
EXECUTIONWell, really all money is virtual. The only "real" thing is the time that you spend or the process that you leverage to get it. I know a lot of people who detest the idea of spending "real" money on "fake" stuff... but somehow they're happy to spend hours of their life on the same fake stuff...- splok

Is this Fastlane? $700K/day. LOL.
EXECUTIONKing (makers of Candy Crush) went public a couple of months ago at a 7+ billion valuation, off the back of $2B in 2013 revenue, most of which was from Candy Crush. SuperCell had almost $1B in 2013 revenue and sold part of the company at a $3B valuation. So ya, games can make money... if you're...- splok

Ryan Deiss - Funnel blueprint
HOT!Seems like there's a lot of arguing in different directions here. Almost all marketing is using slight-of-hand to some degree, and sometimes the line can be a bit fuzzy. However, it the crux of this one doesn't seem fuzzy at all... Well, how about this: If the process causes people to buy...- splok
