    WordPress or Learn to Code?

    It is DEFINITELY not worth your time to learn to code right now. Focus on validating your business idea. What you do need to know is how to manage that site. So maybe you get a site made, and then learn how to manage the back end yourself. Futz around with Wordpress, and if it takes you more...

    Introducing Myself

    INTRO 
    Ask me how I know you're gonna make it. Greetings! I'm early on in my journey myself, but it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. Ask for advice (and make sure you follow up on it!) and you'll go far.

    Re-intro: Laid off. Side "business" is a mess. Scaling back up from 0

    INTRO 
    Thanks guys! Sales are going ok. I'm doing a lot of things that won't scale and sales are taking a lot of legwork. I'd like to get organic sales through the website to be a lot higher (some mentors in my industry say 60% of their sales are through their sites and 40% are through wholesalers)...

    Re-intro: Laid off. Side "business" is a mess. Scaling back up from 0

    INTRO 
    A little update on this from the past few weeks: I'm in a soft-launch of a new product, been interacting with my old social media accounts every day (getting about 2 new followers a day). The parts for the product haven't even arrived, but I've already made a sale for $160. So small, but I...

    Where to Start with Instagram 2019

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    bingo! From what I'm reading, the important thing is flood a user with opportunities to leave the Instagram platform and land on your cart... and the best way to do that is get them to be one of your normal followers and keep putting those choices in front of them over the long term. EDIT...

    Nice! Glad I could help. For stories, one part I don't touch on (but would like to add) are the featured stories in your Profile. Any video you would put on your website, should be considered for inclusion on your profile. -Product Demos -Tutorials -High value free info (with a prompt at the...

    What habit changed your life?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Loving this thread. I'm using it to find new habits to steal from others ;) For me: "win the morning" It's from a Tim Ferriss blog post, but the gist is that you have 5 tasks each morning: Make your bed Meditate Exercise (minimum 10 pushups) Hydrate (+bulletproof coffee or tea) Journal If...

    updated the parent comment to add more sections under 3., and to clean up some formatting. I also added Josue Pena as a person to follow. I've been experimenting with Planoly the past week and I am VERY impressed. I don't like how it handles comments though, so I'm just replying to my users on...

    Where to Start with Instagram 2019

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    About me: I've been using Instagram since the first year it came out, but only with a personal account. I didn't want strangers following me, just friends. The app itself was all I ever needed for liking, commenting, and adding my own media. Now that I'm trying to grow a business profile, I'm...

    How to invest $10,000

    I love it. But I wouldn’t spend a single penny until you make $1000 on your own. Grow using your customers’ money, not yours. You’ll know when you’ve found a viable side-business when you’ve made that $1k. When you reach that point, you’ll know exactly what the business needs to grow, and I...

    ZF's progress thread

    EXECUTION 
    I like upwork, but why not go out and pitch to people through personal email? You could send them a free list of 100 headlines as a lead gen tool. I get pitches all the time for people to do copywriting or other services, but every email is a generic (poorly written) sentence about how they...

    Re-intro: Laid off. Side "business" is a mess. Scaling back up from 0

    INTRO 
    I definitely agree, it just feels that way. Otherwise I'll be scaling up as a side-business like I had tried to do before. :frown: contextualelectronics.com There are basic versions of his courses for sure, but I'd sign up for the advanced one. There's also a consulting option. I could hire...

    Re-intro: Laid off. Side "business" is a mess. Scaling back up from 0

    INTRO 
    Hey all! I've been lurking a lot more and figured I'd re-introduce myself. Title says it all. I neglected the business I started in 2013 because I found a steady contract with a fun, exciting tech startup. Awesome benefits, I worked from home, they flew us to other countries just to party...

    Re-Introduction

    INTRO 
    Kudos! Was that your first $100,000 month; or that you crossed $100k for the year in that month? What's the industry/model (if you don't mind sharing)

    What are people NOT talking about anymore?

    HOT! 
    Same here. I bought about $2k of BTC when the price was $3400 back in July of 2017 sold half my position that December when things skyrocketed (It was around $16,000 when I sold) so that I took a healthy profit and recouped my initial cash, and let the rest ride. I wish I had sold it all and...

    Forex - The ultimate Fastlane (?)

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I just wanna draw your attention to the fact that—in your mind—trading and LITERAL gambling both seem like equal alternatives. Instead, try this: -Name a customer community that you would wake up every morning eager to help. Ideally you’d also be a part of that community yourself. Dont be...
