    Everybody has a little version of this guy deep inside The more you succeed though, the smaller it becomes and the quieter his voice becomes It still hurt / gave me a little anxiety to read when he said "i'll never be rich and it is what it is" blah blah This thread was a pretty brutal read...

    What is the best way to learn copywriting?

    This sums it up. Good copy makes $$$, end of story. The best copy is a result of really really really good market research. You must understand your target, inside out. Then you write in a style so you sound like one of their peers. You know how when a friend tells you to go check out a...

    I mean, you pretty much have your whole plan ready... I would suggest leading with value though - don't ask for them to sign up right away Offer 1 month free or something before you try to sign them for a year This gives you the opportunity to really refine your service and make sure it works...

    HOT! 
    Put yourself up as the first employee and try to sell it to a local gas station I would imagine the sales pitch to be incredibly difficult Also when the station pays you for your service, how are they gonna make their $ back? I don't think it's right to put the burden on the drivers...

    Yeah I'm hating hard Super jealous of the guy that volunteers to listen to indie-alternative and answer a survey about it for $0.35 This is insanely slow lane unless you outsource it somehow, even then I don't see how you can make a legitimate business model off this Maybe I'm missing...
