    INTRO 
    My pleasure. As @Oven pointed out, you do lose a bit of control but developers are around every corner these days. Wordpress is a great starting point; little coding knowledge needed (you may not need to know any depending on what you want from the website and how you go about building) and it's...

    I think this would qualify as fastlane (The HS kid who traded to $72M)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Reading the original story didn't seem like it would be feasible trading penny stocks resulting in $72 Million, but as MJ pointed out...the 'lamestream media' cares little about reality and most about sensationalism. It's rarely 'news' worthy, mostly trash. Just another example of why I refuse...

    Finally

    INTRO 
    First, welcome to TFLF. You and I became an 'Insider' the same day evidently. If I may offer a piece of advice...don't go spending your time learning how to build a website. Honestly, that's not your expertise or even a hobby at this stage, and it's only going to be a hurdle for a while...

    Tips for growing golf websites

    MARKETING 
    The .tv domain's home page is decent, but the About page is, as mentioned, not attractive. Visually I think you need to work on improving flow and your funnels. You have to realize that content is a commodity now. There is 'free' content in more places across the internet than you or I will...

    Do you prefer responsive landing pages or not?

    MARKETING 
    Pretty much. As @theag stated, responsive is a must, especially with the rise of widely varying sized screens (between phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, etc.) and an inability to cater to each separately within reason. Besides, if someone is on their smartphone and visits the landing...

    Close Clients or Distant Customers?

    MARKETING 
    Closing a sale requires a constant battle with providing value to those you're prospecting. It can consist of a number of variables that help and/or hinder the progress towards new revenue. As entrepreneurs and business owners, I'm sure we all have our opinions as well as varying experiences...

    How to waste time and money playing entrepreneur

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Small businesses have a major impact yet so many states make it difficult to start and operate a company. Yes, if everyone could simply click a button that says "Open a Company Immediately!" with no restrictions and no financial investment, it would be a bit dangerous. However, annual fees of...

    "Co-mentors"

    PEOPLE 
    Accountability partners is certainly powerful. I tend to prefer working with a team of people rather than alone; drives me to push them, and they push me to make progress. Whether you're business partners or not, people are the motivation behind getting sh*t done when they can influence your...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (2012)

    GOLD! 
    There are a few ways to get this accomplished that come to mind: 1) Get a single-product theme for Wordpress, attach WooCommerce (or another eCommerce plugin) to Wordpress, and add PayPal as the payment gateway. Then, create a Pre-Order Product within WooCommerce. 2) Use Shopify and one of the...

    How to waste time and money playing entrepreneur

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Yup, one of the most expensive states. And add a $500 Annual Filing Fee (for LLCs) despite if nothing about the entity changes. Absolutely ridiculous for just submitting a form in 5 minutes online that didn't change from the previous year.

    Which Job Would You Choose?

    Many great responses above but I'll throw in my 2 cents. First off, as asked by another 'laner, why does vacation matter if your goal is to get in to the Fastlane sooner than later? To get in to that Fastlane, vacation shouldn't even be part of your thought process (unless you're thinking "Oh...

    Getting a marketing degree?

    MARKETING 
    "OK, Mom and Dad. If you want me to go to college for 4 years, do you want me to have $80k+ in debt right off the bat? Risk going to college that absolutely does NOT guarantee an income at the end despite the expense? Decrease my ability to build savings and invest? ...unless they simply have...

    So you want to get into affiliate marketing...

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    Affiliate marketing has made countless people very wealthy, to be honest. Placing a banner ad is certainly a small, micro piece of the puzzle. When you say many 'times purchasers go directly to the sales page', do you have any stats/data to back up that claim? I've been directly involved in...

    Getting a marketing degree?

    MARKETING 
    Getting a college degree can be worthwhile. If you're specializing in brain surgery or want to be a space engineer...college/university education is simply going to be a requirement in modern society, and rightfully so; if the unfortunate circumstance comes down to it, I don't want you sticking...

    SAAS Execution, Dane Maxwell style

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Interesting to read a bit about your journey. The question I have is 'What is the best use of your time?' Honestly, jumping around in programming could take you months (just a guess as I don't know your learning capabilities) but generally you should focus on who you ARE, not who you WANT to...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (2012)

    GOLD! 
    You can use Shopify to make it happen, just keep in mind it will require 3rd party apps (additional cost). I've helped clients setup and operate Shopify solutions - there's flexibility so long as you're willing to incur costs above the Shopify costs.
