    Successful AdWords guy interested in creating Lead Gen properties - a few questions though...

    I'm kinda in the same boat as Andy. I'm not too concerned about duplicate content policies because I don't really give a shit if Google ranks my pages or not. If was doing was doing local SEO for a client, then I would absolutely stay clear of Doorway Pages (that's what Google calls them). But...

    Every assumption to be tested?

    MARKETING 
    Just wanted to add to my post with a scenario that’s perhaps more realistic: Let’s take the “better customer service” example again. This can be perceived as any number of things. There are an infinite number of ways you can create better CS. Maybe you give them candies after meals (diner)...

    My 600lb Life: Addiction, Enabling, More (RANT)

    NOTABLE! 
    Not to derail but why is death a tragedy? And why does it matter if you "leave a legacy" or whatever? Why do you need to be more than a "lingering thought"? I find that these type of thoughts are just an extension of our social & psychological needs that helped us survive until now (especially...

    Every assumption to be tested?

    MARKETING 
    Test everything you feasibly can. There are so many variables in this world that it can be hard to identify the cause of things, but if you try to isolate and test piece by piece, you can do good for your business and your life in general. I remember reading something about a company selling a...

    Cannabis biz started 2 years ago, sold $7M!

    If I ever get around to making a content-focused site, this is exactly what I'm going to be doing. Why guess blog topics when I can just pull up Keyword Planner and have cold hard numbers that title the next 100 posts for me? Give the people what they want...

    Long toothed, newly unscripted

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum. Make sure you're eating healthy and exercising so you can be in tip top shape for your new life. There are some in-shape 70 year olds living life better than some beat-up 25 year olds. This is the most important part of the post. Glad you are choosing to look at your...

    90 Day Cold Calling Challenge

    EXECUTION 
    Another thing I forgot to say: When you tell them what you do... Make it niche specific. Don't say "I help businesses get more clients" Say "I help florists get more wedding jobs" Don't say "I help businesses get more clients" Say "I help dentists get new patients to walk through their...

    90 Day Cold Calling Challenge

    EXECUTION 
    Another edit: Don't say your product can "potentially help" - tell them specifics like "generates 5 more leads per week, ranks businesses to the top of google"... etc. "Differentiating businesses by making businesses stand out" is a weak value prop. The sentence really doesn't say anything or...

    90 Day Cold Calling Challenge

    EXECUTION 
    Listened to the Nov.16 phone calls (maybe there's more recent ones I missed?). Why do you call and then immediately give them control? You pick up and then say "I assume you're busy, can I call you back later?" Don't do that - just go balls to the wall and lead with value. Also, they don't...

    Great cold email podcast

    MARKETING 
    Another thing that people often overlook is physical mail. I got my first clients this way. I got a list of local businesses I felt I could help... I just scraped em off Yelp. Yelp somehow has a lot of businesses that you can’t find on Google or anywhere else. Then get the biz owner names...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    P.S. because I know some people will read this and STILL tell themselves that they have no skills or talent or money blahblahblah... I don't really know what to say to those people... They're just completely delusional (sorry for being harsh) and WANT to be helpless and hopeless. Anyone can...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I saw this in a video from @SEO Guy, so all credit goes to him. I'm not going to get into insane specifics or long-winded business models. I'm just going to give you instructions that you can follow in the next 5 minutes so you can get high off a drug called Value. Value is a very addicting...

    Successful AdWords guy interested in creating Lead Gen properties - a few questions though...

    Just posting some notes from a PM with @Andy Black : Whiz: I’m running a pest control campaign for a client who handles furry animals and birds, but is unable to do bug jobs. Since 80% of searches are the top level pest control terms (pest control near me, pest control NYC), I don’t really...

    Crushing the Comfort Zone

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Just keep in mind that it's the people that matter. Not so much the art... You can have a great experience doing martial arts. Just use judgment. If the instructor seems like a douche and there's a douchey vibe, find another school. Some people are just insecure douches who love to pick on new...

    Crushing the Comfort Zone

    HOT! MINDSET 
    You don't like people touching you? Dude you would HATE Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) It's kinda like wrestling except you aren't just looking for positional dominance, you're looking to end it via submission - either a choke or a joint lock (threatening a bone break). I just started like 3-4...

    My sister's boyfriend keeps bees and he's always like "blah, they're harmless - they mind their own business - just don't bother them" etc... I bet every bee keeper says that until they get absolutely lit up by a swarm... Humans have this really weird habit of attributing human qualities to...

    How to be happy and fulfilled

    MINDSET 
    I want to add that when your brain makes "chicken soup" (a good business plan or idea), that 9/10 times the idea is bullshit and/or sucks. But you gotta fail a lot and try a lot of shit... If you're trying to get somewhere that 1/1,000,000 people go, then you gotta do what 999,999 people...

    I'm currently structuring an AdWords campaign for a pest control company, so I was doing some research and I stumbled across this video: I'm speechless. Comment from YouTube: This is definately the type of guy that walks away from an explosion and never looks back. When someone asked him...

    How to be happy and fulfilled

    Well if you're relatively healthy, not addicted to drugs/alcohol or any of that bullshit, then you're likely just addicted to feeling sad. It's just a matter of perspective and having purpose in life. Just have a little faith in yourself and make the decision to work towards your freedom...
