    My conversion rate sucks. Can I ask for advice?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I agree with the general sentiment. Item descriptions are too wordy, site is weird, better product photos can make a difference. However I wouldn't focus on those. You can make sales with everything you have now if you wanted to. Your conversions are so low because your site design is bad. You...

    Lost... about to be homeless.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I know it sucks but this opportunity might be the kick you needed. Success gurus always say "You gotta be HUNGRY for it!" It took me actually being homeless and literally HUNGRY before I ramped my a$$ into gear. If I didn't get a client by the end of the day, I didn't eat that day. I realize...

    Open letter to a friend starting a business

    Damn dude, $$$$$. That's why I miss this place. This line right here is something I constantly try to explain to people but you just KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK with the phrasing.

    My Youtube video with 30 views made $12.1k in a week

    MARKETING 
    A few months ago I deleted 45 videos from my personal YT channel. I replaced them with two lone videos. I shot these on my phone (also free microphone I stumbled into). The videos don't get likes or comments. They're not monetized or SEO optimized. In fact, as of the time of this posting...

    Growing a YouTube Channel to 100,000 Subs

    NOTABLE! SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I feel like most people's audio and video either: Stays consistent Gets better over time Yours seems to fluctuate. Better some days, worse others, almost random. Your travel stuff is shot beautifully, but there the audio is inconsistent. I found myself having to turn up and down my computer...

    Daily Youtube Kickstarter Show

    EXECUTION 
    Thx David. Actually, that's not a greenscreen, I was testing a video concept using a practical backdrop I picked up for a few bucks. The problem with the product review thing is many Kickstarters don't HAVE products to ship. Although, two of the videos I've already shot WERE paid for by the KS...

    Daily Youtube Kickstarter Show

    EXECUTION 
    Thx. Original spin ended up costing more than it made due to unforseen circumstances. I'm more experienced now and currently working on a videogame I will Kickstart while the board game stuff chugs along at a slow pace. I suck with physical product logistics and delivery. Digital products have...

    How do I validate this?

    You will never be sure of anything, ever. How fast can you write the book? Try getting it done in the next week: (Each day consists of 8-12 hours of actual work) 2 days sourcing as much material as possible and laying it out in book format. 2 days rephrasing the content to make it easier to...

    How do I validate this?

    Just make it, and make it damn good. Your validation will be people buying the book. Don't do the website first. Start with the products themselves. That happens, sometimes. I learned very late in my life that I may have dyslexia.. but I'm almost 30 now and I've learned so many coping...

    Niche market vs. Influence millions ???

    Yes, you influence millions to make millions... If your niche is small, maybe you can only influence thousands. You'll only make thousands... BUT you can influence that same thousand people multitudes of times to increase revenue. Don't get caught up in the words. Concentrate on helping those...

    Musicians of Fastlane, hop on this opportunity

    "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" just officially became public domain as of yesterday. It's copyright has been enforced for the past 80 years. This is an opportunity to make a make a couple thousand bucks quick. Record a well produced (yet very generic) version of it that can be used in...

    Is it true that doctors who own practices have the potential to get rich?

    Everybody has the potential to make a fortune if you make the right moves.

    Copycat Competitor

    EXECUTION 
    Eyes forward bucko. Is he actively hurting your sales, or just your ego? Keep hustlin and you'll be the trailblazer and he'll be the loser. Low blow? I don't think so. He's scamming the licensed manufacturer out of money, and creating a culture of unchecked (possibly unsafe) drug distribution...

    The Origin Of Money and Value

    MINDSET 
    Everybody does by what they are/are not willing to pay. If milk is $4, and the consensus is that $4 is not worth milk, people stop buying milk. To make money again, the sellers of milk must reduce price until it sits at the point that it's ACTUALLY worth.

    Feedback on Cover Design? (Adult Coloring Book)

    PUBLISHING 
    I don't like any of em as-is. I think you're getting caught up in details and not addressing how busy/visually confusing they are. You gotta UNIFY that shiz yo. Do something closer to this: Less distractions, less noise, more salez

    The Origin Of Money and Value

    MINDSET 
    People understand it intellectually, but not intuitively. To 99% of Americans, money is an abstract concept. "How do I make money?" "How can I get rich" "I'm going to make millions!" is something that's said on these very forum all the time. They're looking at money as something independent of...

    The Origin Of Money and Value

    MINDSET 
    The anti-capitalist views are more targeted at "Bank Managed, debt centric, shareholder based, international economy" version of capitalism that we're living in. The concept of capitalism is appealing to those people when properly broken down.. but most people don't break it down themselves...

    The Origin Of Money and Value

    MINDSET 
    @DayIFly You're talking the semantics of other systems baby. Debt, Taxes, Compounded Interest, Loans. These are all systems separate from currency. They use currency as a foundation, which is why manipulation of currency affects them, but they're separate systems. All the problems you...

    Would you spend your money on Virtual Sex?

    HOT! 
    This is a big catalyst right here. I am friends with a few single, straight, rich, and good looking guys who have entirely stopped seeking sexual interaction altogether because of this. The more money they made, the more of a target they became for such allegations. Just not worth the risk for...

    Less is more

    EXECUTION RANT 
    After spending some time on forums and reddit and social media I felt compelled to say this: Professional writers warn against "Infodumps" It's defined as multiple paragraphs (or pages) of needless explanation. Nobody cares about these explanations but you, and even if your audience DID care...
