    {PROGRESS + ACCOUNTABILITY} LAURYN'S RECONSTRUCTION: GETTING TO 50 SHADES OF PAID

    PUBLISHING 
    All writing is good. Polishing your copywriting with the Halbert thing will be very valuable, I think. Many things about copywriting can be used in fiction too.

    Think like a movie director

    EXECUTION 
    Good analogy, except this: Anyone would need many years of experience to get even close to that in any field. And even experienced directors are sometimes screwed over hard by unexpected coincidences. If you're an entrepreneur, you'd better not see all the roadblocks in advance, because it'll...

    Some Fastlane Porn

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just offer it a nice Daiquiri and a swim. Never heard of a leopard turning that down.

    Share some of the good habits you have

    MINDSET 
    Simple and powerful. That should get you ready for a good day. Before you even start working, you've already done more that day than most people.

    HowToPubYourself is up and running!

    PUBLISHING 
    Already enjoying it and looking forward to more instalments :) Your reasons are good and sound and logical. And yet... the 50/50 thing is probably only psychological, but irrational, emotional stuff like that is possibly the most important factor in sales and marketing. I'd recoil at the idea...

    HowToPubYourself is up and running!

    PUBLISHING 
    I'm just starting out. What I'd like to avoid is getting something important wrong, like the categories or keywords or super basic marketing things. Making critical rookie mistakes, in other words. "Everything" here meaning editing, getting a good cover, formatting, writing an optimized...

    Creating more alcoholics

    EXECUTION 
    Yep, just one of the many pitfalls and delays when using Adwords :)

    Creating more alcoholics

    EXECUTION 
    Adwords can be real hard to get to work. Split testing, keyword research and all that. Make sure you keep track of the details, even if you're in the research phase. Get the most out of your money.

    Are we setting goals the wrong way?

    It seems that specific goals don't have a huge role to play in success. Instead of focusing of goals, which are often set long before you know what is actually possible, it's better to make a system or a process of things to do every day. The system keeps you going in the right direction. Focus...

    Very nice link, thanks. You are learning a lot from Ricochet, huh? Seems you're grabbing it by the throat and not letting go until it's given up all its potential. I like it.

    What would you guys sell at the Kentucky Derby?

    Little tubes of glue "made from previous winners." Sell for $30 apiece, you buy them at the dollar store. Just change the label. Subtitle: "You can't prove it ain't Secretariat".

    Should I Publish My Poetry?

    PUBLISHING 
    Not everything has to be about the Fastlane. Some things can be just for fun. Publish your poetry. It almost certainly will not produce much of a profit for you, but so what? It's written, and publishing costs you very little. Get it out there.

    A Reader's Rants and Thoughts on Writing

    PUBLISHING 
    I do the same thing. I'm against "dumbing down" any writing, which I have done too frequently for a column I write. I don't do it anymore, because when I read someone else's work and I see a word I don't know, I look it up, and suddenly I have a learned a new word. I'm sure many other readers do...

    "Hello, Angus." Myra said airily. "Why, hello there, Myra." Angus grinned obsequiously. "Angus, are you here alone?" she inquired curiously. "Yes, Myra" he responded sadly. "Angus, where is Fiona?" she asked wonderingly. "Myra, she has the flu and had to stay at home," Angus answered...

    PUBLISHING 
    Can't help but laugh out loud at this. Suggest you insert some of that wry humor into your writing. Everyone loves a character who's self-depricating at times, if only in their own minds.

    How many women are on the fastlane forum

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Could not agree more. Whenever I had some hiring to do, I'd always bring along a friend of mine. Her intuition is just uncanny, and whenever I went against her advice, I'd live to regret it.

    Oh, I like that. Travis really should be looking around a little now. And you know, those are just the things we wonder about when we see a sexy woman... You really write Travis very well. Something tells me he will be pretty important to the story, because you seem willing to give him a...
