    MARKETING 
    People who do millions a year on Amazon and pay lots of money/spend lots of time keeping up with all the advertising/ranking strategies. Sorry, that's really as specific as I can get. Amazon's ranking algorithm is a secret, of course, but this is the latest info I've heard.

    I turned off all my Amazon PPC and sales dropped...

    MARKETING 
    One theory I've heard recently: If you're bidding on low-ACOS keywords, you're throwing away money. These are keywords you likely already rank for, so you're paying to acquire a customer who would have found you anyway. Counter-intuitively, you may actually want to target the mid- to high-ACOS...

    For you marketing guys...

    MARKETING 
    I'm not sure you understood @BizyDad's post. He literally gave you half a dozen ways to reach people now. Why waste your time with Google Ads (which was mentioned as a side-comment in his post)? This is likely the least bang-for-your-buck. Thumbtack, Angie's list, etc already have people...

    Looking for Clients/Leads/Sales For Your Business? I am Your Guy

    This sounds like an incredibly low-risk offer for anyone who reaches out to you. Basically getting an entire funnel for just the cost of one month's ad spend if the client isn't happy. For service businesses, do you only do location-based? If you're building the campaign/landing page/etc, how...

    Getting paid for waiting...

    I would implement this with clients. If they don't show up on time to a meeting/call, automatically charge them for wasting my time. It somehow seems less imposing than taking a deposit "just in case."

    How to partner with an Ecom business as a marketer?

    This would be my sticking point. "If" I'm an ecommerce brand owner, I would want this better defined. Am I paying you a percentage of sales, and still covering the ad costs out of my pocket? If so, I could be net negative by the time this is over. As a business owner, I care more about profit...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    I'm not sure the nature of your loans (if you mentioned it, then sorry I missed it), but I would try talking directly to the creditors to see if you can get some flexibility. They would rather extend the payments than have to deal with the whatever they get out of bankruptcy. Keep your head up...

    Hey anyone know where to get coronavirus supplies wholesale?

    I hear China will be back to work soon. You should check there.

    BizBuySell or LoopNet businesses

    EXECUTION 
    Yea - for example, if you were looking for an ecommerce business, there are brokers who deal specifically in those. Some skew towards Amazon, some towards apps, Saas, etc. BizBuySell generally just aggregates from other sites. If you can get in with a broker and show them you're serious, they...

    BizBuySell or LoopNet businesses

    EXECUTION 
    Do heavy due diligence. What type of business are you looking to buy? Depending on the type, there may be industry-specific brokers that will give you more confidence in the numbers and process.

    How To Target ANYONE On Facebook (Step By Step Video Included)

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    This is awesome, and I had no idea this existed. I can start broad, see what similar pages are "liked" and engaged, and then target those people. This, combined with the Summit, has so many wheels spinning in my head.

    EXECUTION 
    Sure thing! With #1, and the little I know about you, the mortgage interest deduction probably isn't going to help you. In taxes, you can take the standard deduction or itemized deductions. Mortgage interest is an itemized deduction (along with real-estate taxes, state taxes, and charitable...

    The 2020 Fastlane Summit - Official Event Thread!

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Hey all - I really enjoyed speaking this weekend. Definitely out of my comfort zone (in case you couldn't tell from the shaky start ;)) Remember that this weekend is pointless if you don't implement the things you learned. If you go back and fall into the same routines, you may have well just...

    [Request] Project Yourself Method

    Based in this thread and your last thread, I agree with @broswoodwork. What are you actually trying to accomplish? And what value can you provide to others on the forum? Spend your time reading the forum for a couple weeks. Then come back and ask relevant questions, with enough background...
