    Freelancing reselling business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Why do you need our opinion on it? As you said yourself, all you need is to get a client -> create a brief -> hire someone and give them the brief -> get the result -> send it to the client -> profit. Can it work? Of course! Will it work for you? Find out! It's a valid "business" but getting...

    Starting my first business project

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    A blog with all the revenue sources you mentioned is not a bad idea BUT... What else have you figured out? Do you know who will read your blog? Do you know what they want to read? Do you know what they will pay for? Anyone with value to share and a large following on social media could make...

    The most cringe part of the entrepreneur community

    MINDSET RANT 
    Just curious, how come you're defending high-ticket info-product creators, even if their products suck, but somehow Dan Lok, Andrew Tate, and Tai Lopez are actually scams? What's different? They also have thousands of raving testimonials. Oh, and you haven't bought any high-ticket...

    Frustrations with developers.

    EXECUTION 
    Do you even need to code your website? Get a domain name (less than $20 a year), get WordPress hosting (around $10 a month), get Divi Builder ($100 a year), and build it yourself within a week at most. Use ChatGPT to write copy. If you need advanced functionality, e.g. a billing system, use a...

    Does this business model stink or not?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    You've got the list in the wrong order, start with step #3. Finding copywriters is easy, there are thousands on every major freelance platform. Building a website takes a day up to a few, it costs less than $500 if you DIY. Now getting clients is real difficult. Figure this out first, and the...

    Moving in with partner anxiety

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    You're 25 and have been with her for years, unless that's deep in your culture/upbringing/whatever, it seems odd that you'd rather continue to live with your parents. Of course, there's a learning curve when moving in with a partner but you better face it at 25 not 30+

    Copywriters: what's your Fastlane route?

    MARKETING 
    I'm still a freelance copywriter but it seems like the choice is between coaching (consulting, online courses, digital materials, etc.) or building an agency. You also have a third option, do any business as copywriting is much more than just knowing how to write copy, it teaches the big...

    What value do/can I provide as a web designer that's worth thousands in todays digital era?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    After years of freelancing, I've realized that when going after clients, you should aim for clients who are already successful not struggling. If they are successful, they can afford to invest in your services and further growth is also more likely to happen when they already have a solid track...

    Is A Clothing Brand Still A Bad Idea?

    IDEA 
    Friends' opinions mean nothing, positive or negative. People giving you money for your product is the feedback you need. Build a landing page, create mockups of your clothing, and try to sell it. That's how you decide if the idea is worth pursuing without a massive upfront investment in terms...

    Starting a web design and hosting agency, need some advice

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    The tough part is obviously getting clients (sales), but if you're new to WordPress, building pages, etc., check out Divi (it's a theme with 200+ templates for almost every business niche and 5+ pages (home, landing, services, about, etc.), and it costs just $99 a year or ~$400 lifetime. You...

    Should I sell my AI app for $50k ?

    SAAS / APPS 
    Mitch actually has a solid point that seems worth exploring. I've seen many graphic design stuff creator sites, label companies, and similar offer their free generator at the front-end, and place a sneaky "or hire one of our expert designers". You don't have to change "the point of your app"...

    Are you extremely athletic, e.g. strong, fast, aesthetic, and can use that to build a massive following on social media (e.g. Tren Twins who went from never-heard-before to everywhere in less than a year)? No? Are you highly trained formally (training pro athletes, Ph.D. in a fitness-related...

    Self-Promotion: Post Your Offer, Products, or Services! (2025-26)

    MARKETPLACE 
    After trying out what it's like to work in a 7-figure marketing agency and realizing I'm better off on my own (long story but feel free to ask about it), I'm back to freelancing. To avoid taking your time with a lengthy sales pitch, here's a summary of who I am and what I do (and how well I do...

    Selling Information Products still viable today?

    QUESTION 
    If an 8-figure agency owner built a course on all the systems he used to scale his agency, including done-for-you templates for managing dozens of freelancers, cash flow, etc., it's a solid product. If a 16-year-old kid is selling a "how to build a 6-figure agency" course while also asking on...

    Looking for platform to create landing and course

    Kartra is a little outdated but has all the features you could ever need, and is quite easy to use. ClickFunnels has a really cool funnel builder and they just launched a massive update but it costs a bit more. I have been building funnels for 3-4 years, and wouldn't suggest any other...

    What did you study at university and what do you do now?

    Need advice about product sending

    MARKETING 
    How can you have a problem with shipping "a ton of product" if you haven't sold a single unit? Get out of your delusion and do this - create a landing page, put the product mockup on it, and get sales (refund them afterward. If you can do that (get sales), buy the product in bulk, sell it, and...

    Father-figure abandonment and entrepreneurship...

    It's wild now that I think about it. I don't have a father figure nor do my closest, most entrepreneurial friends do. Those who do have father figures are generally less entrepreneurial, ambitious, etc. Could be related to "I want to do and be better than my father" consciously or not. Could...
