    Anyone here need help with their copy.

    MARKETING 
    I rewrote @LittleWolfie's copy. Why? Good exercise. :) Maybe @copyabe (or any other kind soul on this forum) could take a look and give me some pointers? ----- Why are you STILL putting up with Windows when a superior alternative is just ONE click away? If you’re anything like me, you have...

    Does everyone struggle to learn code?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Would I be wrong in assuming that each programming language has its use, and that asking questions such as the one above might not be the most productive question to ask? Programming languages are just tools used to get something done. Why not visualize what you want to accomplish, then work...

    How to TRULY differentiate a product/service?

    MINDSET 
    Learn what your business does. Learn what your competitors do. Learn what your clients ACTUALLY want. Fill the gap. Sounds dumb but it really is that simple.

    Marketing agency progress thread?

    MARKETING 
    ^ This is what I like about this forum (and why I made this thread). If you start straying from the path or start focusing on minor details people will tell you. As an aside, I got myself a job in marketing/sales (thanks for the tips @Andy Black ). Good for learning cold calling, networking...

    Lex DeVille's: How to Build a Kickass 4-Step Brand

    NOTABLE! 
    I'm colorblind. I don't think it really matters. It's not like colorblind people see yellow as blue and red as black. It's just a tad harder to distinguish the colors. But when it comes to branding I doubt it's that big of a deal that you'd have to keep that in mind when creating the base...

    Rest In Peace. David Koch.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Interesting how one forum can have the complete opposite reaction to something than another. Or maybe that's not that interesting. Oh well lesson learnt.

    Marketing agency progress thread?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks! Master's in international marketing; studied copywriting since 2012; did some content marketing on the side in the past... Would I consider myself a marketing 'expert'? ... Not even remotely. This project is a combination of 'fake it till you make it' and applying theory and the...

    Marketing agency progress thread?

    MARKETING 
    This is just a brain dump for me on the things I learn as I work on this project. Haven't worked out the kinks, at the moment I'm optimizing the site and researching the market. Early days... Not sure what I should specialize in yet. Feel like it's better to have one super targeted USP than...

    Getting started at age 50+!

    INTRO 
    A family friend quit his long time job at ~55 and started doing real estate stuff instead. 65 now with no signs of stopping. Pretty sure he's doing pretty well financially (very secretive guy though so I can only assume)

    What do you guys think of Jordan Belfort?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    What annoys me is how hollywood created this movie where he is (imo) this "glorified hero" that everyone is rooting for. A lot of people my age seemed to really like the movie and his lifestyle in it, but failed to notice (or consciously ignored) how his way to riches was completely illegal.

    The Desert of Perceived Need

    EXECUTION 
    Interesting thread. How have you thought about marketing your site? Quality over quantity yes, but how are you going to attract them to your site (apart from the affiliate system you mentioned)?

    Need Some "How To" E-Book Ideas In Hungry Markets

    IDEA 
    Just a thought... Like other people have said, e-books are very much a "me-too" business and I think it's safe to say that the market is heavily saturated.....for books written in English... Have You thought about writing a book in English and then paying someone to translate it to some other...

    The Process of Creating A Real Product

    Great post! The Ted Talks video with Simon Sinek is also really good (it's in the article OP linked). "People don't buy what you do but why you do"

    Do You need a copywriter? I will work for testimonials

    MARKETING 
    You will pay nothing. I will just ask for a testimonial from You IN CASE you think my copy is good. If you are disappointed with the copy, you obviously don't need to do anything. Basically, You have nothing to lose on this deal, and potentially a lot to gain. I am open to do all kinds of...

    Is there a place where you can trade services with people?

    I think that's a very interesting concept, but that site that is posted has a lot of flaws... As an example, the whole site seems to cater to the whole world, which doesn't seem that clever imo... Also the website design is ugly, and for me it looks untrustworthy.
