    Documenting my journey to > $10K MRR (Achieved)

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Something to consider for everyone on freelance platforms, connect with clients on Linkedin and get their emails. I had a similar thing happen on Fiverr, and most of my clients came from there and suddenly went down to 0. I sent everyone (a bit longer version): "Hey, how are you? How's X...

    What was his motivation to buy your content then? He just wanted to read stuff you wrote? Or maybe, just maybe, he wanted to make money with his blog whether through ad placement, or product promotion, and the content you sold helped him gain and retain readers who eventually became buyers...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You don't need to sell more services, you need to sell more valuable services. There are businesses making millions annually (and monthly) selling "content", SEO services, etc. I get it, I sell services too, and I'm often distracted by thinking about new services/packages to sell, while...

    AMA - I've spent $26M this year alone on paid ads so far...

    MARKETING AMA 
    Thanks for doing this! 1. Targeting - keep it broad and let the creative + Meta algorithm find the right people, or constantly test different filters, behavior, etc. settings? This seems like a big debate, although I mostly hear suggestions to keep it broad. 2. I believe it's worth investing...

    Why do billionaires keep working 10 hours a day?

    CHAT QUESTION 
    Not OP, but this is a good question. "What would you do if you won a billion, no strings attached?" Sure, first few months, you could be buying mansions, and supercars, and traveling to fancy places, but a year later? 5 years later? When you already have a mansion on each continent with dozens...

    Why do billionaires keep working 10 hours a day?

    CHAT QUESTION 
    Most probably start with money as their why, but even though I'm far (very far) from having "made it", I see why someone would keep "working" even though they don't need to. There are many reasons, all above money: 1. You're committed to leading the industry. E.g. Musk can't stop if he wants...

    Can I have your valued advice please. Tks a million.

    FEEDBACK 
    THIS! I didn't want to be an a**hole, but I wanted to say this already in one of your previous threads. If there's a group of people who are supposed to be your "ideal clients," but they don't want your help even if it's free, that means you're messaging is off. It's not the quality of your...

    Is this crypto website incomprehensible BS or am I just too ignorant to understand it?!?

    CRYPTO 
    Might be just me, but my first impression was: "What a load of garbage, I'd never waste my time on this". The design hints at either 16-year-old outcasts or adults still grinding Runescape. The copy and overall presentation are either intended to resonate with a super niche audience, or it's...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Right, that's how I see it as well. Even the best options have colder/rainy seasons. It seems like hybrid is the way, e.g., you have a home base where it's practical to run your business and a "second home" that's more exotic where you go when it sucks in your home base. Or just a home base...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Not as small as you might think, pursuing the Fastlane lifestyle, I've had the opportunity to visit 20-30 countries in the past few years. At first, every place I went, I was like: "I love it! I want to move here!" But the more places I visit, the more difficult it gets to find the "dream...

    Fakes?

    IDEA 
    Hey, You won't get much positive feedback here on selling fakes even is selling fakes as fakes. But just as a fun exercise, here's why I wouldn't pursue it: 1. As a side hustle: order some trendy items and sell them on the marketplace for a few dollars/euros profit each. It's not a business...

    Am I taking this too far? Idea/personal feedback

    IDEA 
    Everyone is talking about the complexity, but let me ask you about profitability (unless you're building a non-profit). How much will you charge per customer/journal? Is that an amount people are actually willing to pay? What's your cost per journal? How much is left for advertising? E.g...

    I've tried Jira, Monday, Notion, and ClickUp both for personal use and when I worked in agencies. Now, I'm using only ClickUp. It's very intuitive and can be customized as needed. Makes it very simple to add tasks for other people (in your case - employees) as they should get how it works in...

    Business Owners, What Are Your Biggest Graphic Design Challenges?

    IDEA FEEDBACK QUESTION 
    This might not be as specific as you'd like, but here's what I think is an opportunity. Canva and website templates have made it very easy to create stuff that looks good, with skill - even great. Canva has 10s of thousands of templates for anything you could think of and they look better than...

    What do you use for making invoices?

    QUESTION 
    If you need visually nice PDF invoices in low-ish volume, Canva has amazing templates. It's a manual process though and it's just a design software.

    Should I Develop a Website this Early???

    EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Create your product first, and get 50 people to say: "I love it! Where did you get it?" Also, do not code your website. It's unnecessarily complex, use Shopify instead.

    Halal Supplement Brand For Muslims

    INTRO 
    This is amazingly executed - clear niche, clear value proposal, custom product line, amazing design, etc. Every dropshipping wannabe should see this to understand what it truly takes to "make it" in ecommerce.

    post to amp myself up and for commitment (first post)

    INTRO 
    Just wanted to add, do not live in a vehicle unless you're in an extremely toxic living situation. Living in a vehicle is impractical, and wastes time and money. Instead, show your gratitude and take care of simple things around the house to help your parents - wash dishes, take out the trash...

    HOT! IDEA 
    Men are intimidated by many standards that have been set, starting from a young age "who can run to the other side of this field quicker" to teenage years "who can drink the most and do the most radical stuff" to adult years "who's in the best shape? who makes more money? who's getting laid with...

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    You're doing stuff, that's great, most never get to actually doing something, but do you have a strategy beyond "a 3D marketplace"? Who is going to buy these models? Who are they buying from currently? Why are you going to be a better option? How will they find you? If you're a pro at 3D...
