    How to learn to give without wanting anything in return?

    MINDSET 
    I‘ve been creating free content for a couple months now, offering people help where I can. It feels great to know that you have helped somebody. Most people thanked me, which feels amazing. Some want me to create a paid product. Others want to donate something. Help people for free...

    Figuring Out Newsletters

    EXECUTION 
    Hey Andy, I think the perceived value of emails is generally lower than with books/courses. We are just so used to throwing them in the trash. With that said, I think if you deliver the same value as in other formats, I wouldn‘t see where that would make a big difference. But again, I‘m just...

    Not taking action because I'm afraid of creating myself a job.

    HOT! 
    If you have a skill that other people want to have, one option is teaching it. There are people who will value your information. If you end up building a small email list or something like that, it's a resource you can always get back to. Or just start cold calling immediately or go to reddit...

    Book for app

    There are two main types of apps you can build: hybrid apps and native apps. The benefit of hybrid apps is that you code once and it works on both IOS and Android. On the other side, native apps tend to have a more "native" experience, though hybrid frameworks are catching up. Also, native apps...

    Lex DeVille's: Guru Cults Exposed: The Tactics "Experts" Use To Pull You In & Suck You Dry

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    @Lex DeVille Thanks for the great thread! How do you judge the value of an information product? Well, besides the fact that it of course has to solve your problem. For example, the stuff I teach (for free), like most other information, can also be found elsewhere. But isn't a unique perspective...

    Can I Have Friends ?

    PEOPLE 
    Read (or better yet, listen to) "Be Obsessed Or Be Average" by Grant Cardone. It talks about being obsessed with ALL areas of your life, not just one. As if you could spend your whole day just working on your business. Either you will get nothing done because you'll lose focus after too many...

    Creating a General 'Lifting Weights' Udemy Course

    HEALTH 
    Yes, information is cheap and widely available, but oftentimes very spread throughout websites, books and podcasts. Few people take the time to go through all of them. When selling an online course, you‘re not selling the long road, but the shortcut and the convenient packaging of that information.

    Creating a General 'Lifting Weights' Udemy Course

    HEALTH 
    From what I‘ve heard, udemy is not a great option when it comes to online courses that you really want to profit from. I want to state that I have no experience launching on udemy, just reciting what I have heard about it. Have a look at this video: View: https://youtu.be/NobQXZxjIvs Maybe...

    BRO-MARKETING! (Great Copy Selling Crap Products)

    MARKETING 
    Still wrapping my head around bro marketing. I’m currently starting an infoproduct business and really really don‘t want to fall into that trap (not selling people how to make money...) Which measurement(s) do you use to judge a crap product? If it actually helps people get the results they...

    Hi there, each action I take feels like I'm wasting my time and action faking

    INTRO 
    Hey Richard, as someone who is pretty good at coding, I think I can say that it's more than just a profession. It gives you a new perspective at problems and breaking them down into smaller chunks. I'm in a pretty similar situation as you right now, wanting to make some money to fuel my main...

    The Business Of Selling Courses

    Hey, just wanted to give a quick update of how things are going at the moment. I've been at this for about 4 months and have gained a small traction of a bit more than 500 subscribers. I started an email list with a lousy 40 people in it (it's a start) and started communicating with them...

    building website

    There are a ton of resources for building web applications. First off for the frontend: HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the standards. You can find great resources out there, many of them free. For the backend, which is where you handle the database and so on, there are many choices as to which...

    Journal of Next Business

    EXECUTION 
    I'll try to add some value from my limited experience (haven't made a dime, yet, but whatever...). I recently contacted someone via the phone to offer him my web development services. He agreed and said that I should send him an email. Fast forward a couple of weeks he still has not responded...

    How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've been sending out this cold email to people, but the response rates have been close to zero. I don't know, maybe it sounds too spammy. Do you think I should be more explicit in how I can add value to them or try a more personalized approach for every single one of them detailing how I might...

    How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Great thread, thanks a lot. I have emailed a couple of people now and cold called a few. What do you do when somebody doesn't respond to an email? Should you send them another one after a certain amount of time? Do you call them? Thanks!

    The Business Of Selling Courses

    awesome chat! Thank you for linking to it. Somewhere you talked about this idea of selling people shovels to dig out the gold, instead of digging it out yourself. So, if I listened correctly, you're basically working with clients and then teaching what you're learning to other people. Up...

    The Business Of Selling Courses

    only from answering a couple of questions, I already notice the same types of questions and complaints coming up. It makes sense what you're saying. I think I'll release the solutions to them for free, as opposed to keeping them "in the backpack of courses to sell later on". It is...
