    Attention website owners!Here is why you should never use Bluehost and Hostgator (and 78 other web hosting services) for hosting your website!

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    That's control right there. I have thought that a lot of businesses who are hosting on cloud services could have their hosting pull the plug if the business owner (or product) gets canceled for whatever reason. Plus, it's a higher barrier to entry because not everyone can figure out the tech...

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    Might be worth posting this exact thing at the end of that thread, with a statement that "If you post an affiliate link, you will be instantly deleted and banned" so that people realize they're wasting their time and will only get deleted if they try something similar. It seems like the kind...

    Am I in the Wrong Business, or Is This How It Is? (Feeling Resistance)

    MINDSET 
    That's completely understandable! I am not a developer or a designer, so I can relate to feeling lost when it comes to working in WordPress. However, I've managed to put up a WordPress site on a few occasions. What got me through the fog was taking the WordPress video course at Team Treehouse. I...

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    I'm struggling to see what the value proposition is. But it looks like there's a lot of excitement by users who feel like "WOW! I'm in on the ground floor of this just like I wish I was with Bitcoin!!!" (Heart eye emojis) I read their white paper. Interesting looking at this through the lens...

    Walter, your stories are always so inspiring. Every time I read your posts, there's something more to learn. What are the challenges you're running into with your website build?

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    The thing is, it certainly didn't FEEL very rewarding to those who bought it at the early stages. Years ago (around 2011), my little brother used to mow our neighbor's grass, and the neighbor (a forward-thinking fellow) would pay my brother in bitcoin. So my brother had all this bitcoin at a...

    Just quit my job in the middle of my shift. thoughts?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    One small tip for next time (or for others in the future who might read this): Your statement expressed what was bottled up inside of you, but obviously the boss didn't care. All your statement showed the boss was that you weren't going to kill yourself, you weren't going to cut yourself, and...

    Am I in the Wrong Business, or Is This How It Is? (Feeling Resistance)

    MINDSET 
    Yeah, it's a myth. Would it be NICE to bounce out of bed every day to work on your business with a spring in your step and a song in your heart? Absolutely. But does everyone experience that? Nope. Feeling the resistance to work, and then working anyway, is the essence of discipline...

    I cut out caffeine on Dec. 22 and went about a month without it. Interesting side effect for me: I started dreaming again. I hadn't realized that I hadn't dreamed in forever (or, at least, remembered my dreams). Now, I'm back to having crazy, wild adventures in my dreams. I figured this...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Is this the truth, though? Think about who has the most money. Did Musk, Bezos, Gates, etc. follow the above plan? Before Robinhood got this "easy" 3B, what did they have to go through? Buildings. Employees. Capital. (The recent $3B was more money than they had raised in their entire...

    SEO providing inconsistent sales

    MARKETING 
    So traffic is the same, but conversions fluctuate? Is there any seasonality or monthly cycle in how much people feel the pain point that your app addresses? Or if sales come in at the beginning of the month, maybe your customers just got paid? If there's nothing you can come up with on that...

    Recycling gold flakes

    Seems pretty resourceful. I guess it would come down to - how much time does it take to collect the gold, and then how much money does that make you? Reminds me of this video that I saw a while back: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5GPWJPLcHg

    Taking over business from retiring baby boomers

    HOT! 
    I mean... it would just be a matter of building good old-fashioned relationships and trust, wouldn't it? The business owners wouldn't be that hard to find. Ideas... - Drive into any small-town downtown area and look for businesses that don't look like chain stores. Walk in and just ask to...

    What wins did you have last week? What would make this week a win?

    HOT! 
    Some thought exercises that can maybe uncover what to write to your list... What would the audience find valuable? What problems do they have? Could you agitate a certain problem in a bunch of different ways and offer a whitepaper or video on how to solve it? What got them onto the list in the...

    What wins did you have last week? What would make this week a win?

    HOT! 
    Thank you for asking this question. Somehow I had missed this thread until now, but reading through it just now felt really good. Lately, I've noticed the power of focusing on what's going right as a mechanism to help myself feel better about life in general. In a season where I just have small...

    How difficult could it be when dealing with Manufacturers.

    RANT 
    What have you tried so far? What does your current introduction look like? What about it is not working for you? If you haven't tried reaching out to anyone yet, my advice would be to not over think it. I reached out to some manufacturers for the first time ever last spring. I just got on the...

    HELP - Client WINS Chargeback Dispute Despite Him Lying?

    Couple of tips based on experience working with a marketing agency that didn't provide great service and held clients' feet to the fire and thus got a LOT of chargebacks (and they disputed every single one) - It's easier for the merchant to win a chargeback if the client used AmEx. It's...

    Parler Taken Down. Your Thoughts?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    You are of course free to look at it that way. The point I'm trying to make, though, is that we're at a stage where we're seeing these social media giants flex on (what we used to call) the most powerful man in the world. And if they're getting away with that, just wait for when it's your...

    I mean... It's pretty clear we don't have a free market anymore, right? If the president of the United States doesn't have free speech, nobody has free speech. If the president of the United States doesn't get a free trial, what chance do regular people have? In the current version of the...
