    Tips Needed! YouTube - How to improve audio quality

    EXECUTION 
    You can also try a more directional microphone. It shouldn't pick up any of the ambient noise floor from around you. I've tried the Rode Videomicro 1/8" cable version but not the "Me" version with Lighting/USB. Check out some reviews and see if this might work for you. Bottom line: Yes you...

    What would you tell a current 18-year-old tax intern?

    INTRO 
    Honestly? No. I'm not heavily invested in the market so I'm sure there are others out there better qualified to comment on this idea than me, but am I understanding it correctly? Your "fastlane" path is to be be a day trader in options using your own money? Have you read the book? Do you...

    Building A Personal Brand on YouTube in 2022

    EXECUTION 
    Congrats on the progress. Keep pushing! I had never heard of some of the YouTubers you mentioned so I just, moments ago, subbed to them all to check out their content later on. I just opened a video about the backstory for one of them View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX1UVQ_O0RY and I saw...

    I'm not 100% sure but have a look at "eFileCabinet". A group in my company is looking at this to automate similiar things but not from Pipedrive.

    Lawyer Rat Getting Sick of Chasing Cheddar

    INTRO 
    Yeah a company called LegalShield offers that kind of a service for families and SBOs. I'm not sure exactly how it works from the lawyer's side of things (lead gen, more like a retainer?). The part that might be missing from their business model for the customer is the relationship side...

    Am I undercharging my service?

    QUESTION 
    There's a lot of missing context here around your business which makes it difficult to provide more helpful insights. I'm assuming there's more to your business than just this one customer, but generally speaking I think you're asking the wrong question. By asking about your rate, it's more...

    Hey D, I just caught up on your thread and went to check out your dealer locator. On the first attempt it errored out on the who page. Now I'm getting a error log dump. Just thought you might want to know so you can have a look and get it sorted. All the best! Mike

    I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You asked where it was written and I directed you to a reputable source. I'm sure a finance major will jump in and say these versions are both wrong. (@MJ DeMarco maybe this is in your wheelhouse?) At the end of the day, it's likely dependent on who...

    Agreed. For us, HR is the one setting the expected market rates for a particular role. They are more likely the bottle neck in getting raises approved than a direct manager is. Often the manager is the advocate for more money based on ones contribution.

    Can you split test a few options? See what gets the most engagement and try it out for a bit for things like the Kindle version where it's easy to revert?

    https://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/secg/accredited-investor-net-worth-standard-secg Banks don't give a F*ck about where you're living. Their 'net worth' calculations are designed to make you feel richer than you are so you'll leverage yourself more aggressively and take bigger risks. They just...

    I can build anything as a programmer. But I don't have any ideas on what to build/what problem to solve to make good money.

    IDEA 
    Copy something currently in the market. Your idea doesn't need to be entirely unique. Example: Look for trade-offs they made during the development and make the opposite-trade off. You just need to figure out a differentiator that the market will value over someone else's product. Once you...

    To answer your question, primary residence is not included in your net worth calculations. Equity in investment properties are. You residence can be a good opportunity to apply some leverage and boost your net worth, even if it's not part of the calculation. The lower your investment in your...

    Why not do like most people and work your a$$ off building your business 'after' work? Break this down. What does this mean? How are you going to generate this? Ads? Selling something? Sponsors? Affiliate links? How many people do you need to convert to achieve this? Your monetary goal needs...

    I was going to suggest this one as well. If you are already using Notion, it's a great tool to send a bunch of stuff to your 'Inbox' to process later.

    I'm in the same boat as @MitchC with Namecheap. While I haven't had the extent of the issues that @Luthien has had, any technical issues have been dealt with quickly and easily. The only complaint I have with them was when I was migrating to a dedicated server. I asked for it to be done during...

    So you've been here for 9 years, made 8 posts (6 in this thread) and aren't reaching your goals. Huh...go figure. Have you realized yet that the "fastlane dream" is only a "dream" because you haven't taken the steps to start making this your reality? As @LightHouse says: "Quit F*cking...

    I think there's a bigger piece to this MJ, or maybe even 2. @eliquid has a thread about personality tests and finding out what makes you tick, in order to align yourself with the world and opportunities. Along the same lines, I think there's a lot to be said about understanding yourself and...
