    Which MJ Demarco book is it recommended to start with?

    You can't do justice to any of his books without re-reading them. I would start with the one you've already read - there's a lot packed in there.

    $100k/mo From YouTube

    EXECUTION 
    I think you put the decimal point in the wrong place. I make that a $19 CPM ($0.019 x 1000) which is much more in line with mine (£17).

    How to compare ROI?

    You can't just pick a ROI figure and say that it's good or bad. You need to use it to compare different investments along with the level of risk for that investment. If you have 100k to invest for a year and one returns 10% but the other 100% you might consider the 100% return better. But what...

    I think I've had enough...

    MINDSET 
    This is good. It reads like you are thinking about what you want. A lot of people chase possessions but it's much nicer to own a few high-quality things that make you happy. Having too many things makes you a prisoner to those things. Freedom of choice brings happiness BUT there will always be...

    Why do ppl think the market will crash >60%?

    INVESTING 
    It's not who holds the shares that determines the price/if there is a market crash, it's the trades taking place. If more people are selling a share than want to buy it then the price is marked down and vice versa. If no one was selling a particular share there was a shortage and the price would...

    $100k/mo From YouTube

    EXECUTION 
    It does, you're right. I suspect my videos are targeted by software companies advertising their new products. I always have a spike in income when something new launches.

    $100k/mo From YouTube

    EXECUTION 
    I agree SocialBlader is helpful in understanding Adsense revenue but don't rely on it too much. Even the top end of their estimate for my channel underestimates the true figure but a 100%-200%. I would also recommend researching possible video topics using TubeBuddy. I've used it for a few...

    MINDSET 
    OK, so now I know what you don't want, what do you want your life to look like? I'm not talking about owning possessions but owning freedom. How would you like to spend your days and doing what things? What things would you be free of? What memories would you like to have? Design yourself a...

    Figuring out explainer videos

    EXECUTION 
    I hadn't come across Videoscribe before. Thanks for sharing. It looks very useful for some of the projects I'm working on.

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I watched that video a few days ago as well. Although I always thought I spent quite a lot of time designing the thumbnail, title and intro it made me question my own approach. I'm now working on improving these for the next 6 months along with better B-roll, transitions and storyline. I like...

    MARKETING 
    Now that I know you are selling on Amazon I would also suggest using Amazon Ads. They can make a big difference to your level of sales.

    Your best strategies for promoting a book

    MARKETING 
    How to promote your book will depend on where and how you are selling it. If you are only selling through your own website you will need to generate additional traffic to your site. Perhaps try selling on some of the book retailers for additional visibility. The likes of Amazon will literally...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read the book and loved it. It was the intertwined story that really hooked me in; odd because I don't usually like or read fiction. It was reading the book that convinced me to try this forum and I'm so pleased that I did. I'm now reading Unscripted and have it on my list to revisit MFL...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Thanks for sharing and yes, I see what you mean. I do also agree with the approach of using YouTube and content to build your subscriber list. It's what I've done for years and it's worked well. That said, you do need to be careful to maintain the quality of your subscribers. You want to...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Thanks for sharing. It was a worthwhile listen although I think he was overly critical of YouTubers trying to hold attention. If you don't catch and hold someones attention your content becomes boring and you don't get the message across. Whilst he wasn't using any "tricks" as he calls them he...

    Critique of my website

    Great that you built your own website rather than paying an expensive designer - but it shows. I'm probably not your target market, but I'm not sure who is. As soon as I landed on the page I did what 99% of other people will do and scrolled down quickly before moving on. Get yourself a copy of...

    Growing email lists

    The size of your list will be a function of the traffic to your site and how much of the traffic you can capture to the list. People don't give their email as freely these days so 1) make a great offer 2) be sure to make the offer look trustworthy. I give away a free ebook that they would...

    Growing email lists

    I'm probably stating the obvious but... Don't forget, lead generation is only part of the equation. You need to hold on to those leads or you will be working hard to stand still. It's the leads you retain that build your list. In other words, don't fill a leaking bucket. The other aspect is to...

    Income streams on a three-month rhythm

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I build dry stone walls as a hobby. It's highly skilled and takes a long time to learn. When I first started looking for someone to teach me I found a local wall builder who ran courses. I didn't take his course but opted for one by the Dry Stone Walling Association. I now know the first guy...
