    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Nice @123mass! Hoping it blows up and goes viral for ya! Might try some affiliate coverage on youtube, etc too and get a youtuber to promote it. That might help some conversions if they cover it but just a thought. I'm no marketing 'guru' LOL.

    Hi Iqen, Pretty competitive space there so would make sure you have a good/unique niche you can focus on. Being one with the 'We do X better than everyone else' aka the go-to result would hit well. Local SEO and google reviews are a good start as you mentioned. I'd also look to focus in your...

    MINDSET SCALING EXECUTION STORY 
    LOL completely fair feedback there Dark Water. Funny enough, after re-reviewing the site after your comment, I had the exact same thought regarding the “IT helpdesk with cybersecurity mixed in” angle. The current site was more “make sure I at least have a presence online” versus a fully focused...

    Hey MJ, Yes sir! Yeah I’m billing out on a project / retainer basis currently vs hourly as found it’s easier for businesses to justify depending on the business. This last project took me around 5 hours so for that one roughly $300/hr in that context? The project was fairly complex and given...
