    Cheap camera, any recommendation?

    Thanks, I like the tripod solution, turn out my phone has a pretty good camera. When I make more money I can invest in a serious camera.

    Cheap camera, any recommendation?

    So I need a camera for various purposes: - Advertising video - Some odd jobs on Upwork/Fiverr, mainly recruiting testers and recording them using the products. The camera should be relatively cheap while producing a good quality video. $100 is nice, but I can stretch my budget to $200-$300...

    EXECUTION 
    Okay, it has been a month. Zero result. What's the problem? I'm taking a lot of action. BUT I'm chasing too many ideas. What am I doing now? A day job, a blog, a homework service, a video game, Upwork, Fiverr. I have to cut something. First, cut the video game. Low priority. If I submit it...

    HOW DO I SERIOUSLY GIVE UP GAMING

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I used to be a game addict. But I quit. The solution is: "Just quit. Don't do it." As simple as it sounds, here's various things that make it possible. - FTE, or treasonous choice. - Sharing the addiction in a forum - Keep track the number of days you quit.

    EXECUTION 
    My ad was doing poorly. Rank #5. My copy is weak. Time to research competitors. #1 guy: Okay copy. No guarantee. No testimonials. Probably he's doing okay, so the need is there. I'll about to buy his service, to see how he works. Better execution is completely possible.

    EXECUTION 
    For the video game, I posted it on the gaming forum. It turned out to be an okay idea, but it's possible to make good use with good execution. For good execution, I tested it with live person, and tailoring the game based on their feedback. So from now I'll just adjust the game based on people's...

    EXECUTION 
    On the way home, I saw working people playing phone game. So I created a video game. I tested it early. The idea is okay, the important thing is execution: - Customer's experience: Right now, not that good in testing. - Graphic: Can't skimp over it. Better to be something unique to prevent...

    EXECUTION 
    Hmm, so my Fiverr ad is deleted. Maybe it's a sign that I'm doing something correctly. I want to do a Google Ad, but I'm in a tight budget now. A small website will help. On Upwork, I couldn't go forward with that first client. I was clueless about the marketplace. Probably I'll survey my...

    Achieve Laser FOCUS + PRODUCTIVITY With The System Legendary Fastlaners Use...

    GOLD! 
    I'm using the same system, but mine is kinda messy. A few things to improve: - Add the "task number", so it's like 1, 2, 3. Now I see I have done over 1000 tasks, and I thought to myself, "Holy shit I have done so much." - Have a separate view for "today", so I'm not overwhelmed by zillions of...

    EXECUTION 
    I only have 15 proposals left this month on Upwork. Fiverr seems good. I published an ad for math homework service. Let see if there's any need for it.

    EXECUTION 
    Ok, now how can I get more clients? There's a way. So on Upwork, I searched only for jobs with low number of proposals and at least one day old. Less competition, better chance. And I found out why these jobs had less competition. Fell into two categories: - Clients offer too little for too...

    Phone interview: Interviewer: "What value you add to the company?" Me: "I used to sell tickets at the parking lot." Interviewer: "Any other experience?" Me: "I also do computer" Interviewer: "Do you know any other language?" Me: "Yeah, Vietnamese is my first language." Interviewer: "Good. We...

    EXECUTION 
    Week 1: I went on Upwork, and sending proposals. I would have a phone interview next week. It would be a $3 an hour sales job with commission. While it's a crap job, it's slow lane, it serves a few purpose: - I have to start somewhere. - I'll learn the sales skill, which will be crucial to...

    INTRO 
    My reason to join here might be ridiculous. Regardless... I'm an intern for a big name company. It's my first week, I'm excited about it, I have no complaint, they pay me well, and I probably will land the job. But. A few years from now. If the company fires me, I'll be left stranded. Or if the...
