The Good Ones Are Quiet - How to shut up bad, loud customers?
PEOPLEReach out to these people individually, and ask them yourself using real human words. The good reviews is worth your time. People don't have time for Yotpo or automated surveys, they will MAKE time for real people. A short example in the power of polite copy/positioning: I did an @reply twitter...- DennisD

The Good Ones Are Quiet - How to shut up bad, loud customers?
PEOPLEDon't write fake reviews. That's F*ckin lame. Offering discounts or coupons in exchange for reviews is akin to bribery. After each transaction, do what podcasters do and just ask nicely. "Tom, I truly appreciate the order, I hope you love your new toaster. Would you please consider leaving a...- DennisD

Blackhat seo for growing business on a budget?
I've changed my tune recently. I say do whatever you can to win. Blackhatting ANYTHING on your own site is stupid. Blackhat SEOing a microsite/video for a microniche term is smart. Get those people on a mailing list with some incentive-bait, and then when google burns your site you're still...- DennisD

Why Haven't You Started?
NOTABLE! MINDSETNot once. I wrote it, put it on a website, and hustled twitter/fb/linkedin direct messages to people. In one case I built my own high ranking website, and in another I partnered with an already high ranking website. Nothing I've ever worked on ever required capital of any kind, just manhours...- DennisD

Why Haven't You Started?
NOTABLE! MINDSETI myself profited from a book about video production, a book about minecraft, a book about 'hacking' craigslist to find freelance gigs. I know a guy who's making a few grand a month passively because he wrote a guide about collectible compasses. What are you good at? You can make money off of...- DennisD

Concept To Funded Kickstarter in Less Than a Month. [Tabletop]
HOT!So far 27-year-old me has been a complete slacker obsessed with cake and beer. :-D From the planning stages this is what I had in my head: We will easily break 1K, which will only cover our costs. $7K is realistic for what we'd make, and what I planned for. $10K is the idealistic goal. Making...- DennisD

HOT!I'm super stoked! I can afford a production run big enough to turn this into a legit business! I planned it so it ends at 11:59pm. One minute later, and it's my 27th birthday. Damn fine birthday present to myself :-D- DennisD

How do you deal with Haters?
HOT! MINDSETHaters don't know what they're talking about. They THINK they know, but they're wrong Children don't know what they're talking about.

What would you do if you could be 18 years old again?
EXECUTIONIt's amazing how little work actually gets done in a typical 'workday' in the corporate world. Maybe 45 minutes of actual work all day. If somebody freed themselves up from bill-paying responsibility, and spend an 8, or even 12 hour days WORKING on their business, you can get a LOT done in a...- DennisD

What would you do if you could be 18 years old again?
EXECUTIONGameplan for the shortest route to make money for somebody who's never done it before: Live with your parents and spend 3 months learning a skill full-time. If this is impossible, accrue 6 months of living expenses, and then quit and spend 3 months learning a skill full-time. This skill can be...- DennisD

I want to start a Digital Marketing Agency
MARKETINGI hate doing marketing for other people and I'm slowly working myself out of it. It's a bad game to be in. All the time I spent marketing client products could have been spent marketing my own product. It's a bad idea to start a marketing agency because you love marketing and want to live in in...- DennisD

HOT!I officially hit 200% funded... and I realized I made a mistake with my kickstarter campaign. 3 expansion packs from the get-go is ambitious. From a gameplay development standpoint it's fine, but as far as manufacturing and getting MOQs for separate products, it's a huge pain in the butt. I'm...- DennisD

I don't know how everybody else works, but the way I work is by figuring out what I want to do, and then narrowing it down as the idea develops. All roads are equally valid if you find...- DennisD

HOT!Yeah, because the funniness is assigned qualitatively, you can still get points and eventually win by being consistently the 2nd funniest answer the whole game. I should add a "winner take all" ruleset. These are my game-modes so far: www.originalspingame.com/gamemodes- DennisD

HOT!Thanks a ton! The board is not included separately, it's on the back of the box and the pawns only added 28 cents to my costs and no additional shipping so it wasn't a big deal. I playtested without the pawns and it was much less fun. It was hard to tell who was in the lead, pawns added...- DennisD
