    Developer/author looking to scale

    HOT! MARKETING EXECUTION 
    Yes, there are a lot of things that don't translate well from French to English. Jokes are a particular problem and often don't work when translated. If you want to break into the English/American markets, I would consider changing the name there. Anything related to Yoga is hot (they even do...

    HOT! MARKETING EXECUTION 
    Congratulations on reaching 1000 YouTube subscribers. That's a good milestone that many YouTubers don't reach. Have you considered rather than adding features to your app, you work more on marketing? When I saw Cardiac Coherence, I thought it was a fitness app for tracking and analysing my...

    Building long-tail Google Ads campaigns for fun and profit

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    It seems counterintuitive to lose Impression Share and then drop the budget. I do a lot of Amazon ads where losing impression share indicates you're losing bids and need to increase your bid amount. I guess Google is a different beast.

    That seems almost counterintuitive. Thanks for sharing.

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    And that's the challenge. If you can pull it off, your videos will become more valuable to people. That's a start, but when you do this with new videos, you must include a call to action. Tell them why they need to watch this next video. Give them a reason to watch it, and they will, but simply...

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I would recommend you do three things: Focus your videos on beginners. It's the 80/20 rule. There are 80% beginners in any market, so appeal to those first. Make short videos. Most of mine are 6-8 minutes long. Keep them short and packed with information about the topic and keep the video...

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    That's an interesting idea. I don't use advertising but it would get extra eyes on videos. I usually try to achieve 2 things with any video: 1. Make them evergreen topics. 2. Try to answer questions with good Google search traffic. My most successful videos are usually ones that Google picks...

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    The 20% isn't people returning to my site; it's people choosing to click on the link at the end of a video to watch the next one I recommend. When people watch your videos back to back like this, YouTube takes notice. This is last week's video. It's had around 3.6k views so far, so 23.4% is...

    Lex's Digital/Physical Product Group Accountability Thread

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yes, I used to do that. At least you can on the UK site or could. I haven't sold on eBay for a few years after someone with a good reputation tried to rip me off, buying an expensive camera lens and returning a different (faulty) one for a refund. It took me a lot of wrangling to get my...

    Lex's Digital/Physical Product Group Accountability Thread

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    You can block them when you list an item, or at least you could. I used to refuse bids from anyone with less than five reviews or a low rating if I was selling something valuable. I'm loving reading the progress @Lex DeVille.

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I went through a few years where my view results flattened out and dipped. It was very discouraging, but then I realized that if I kept doing the same things, I would get the same results. It's a sign that something needs to change and improve if you want to keep growing the channel. Mr Beast...

    How do you manage knowledge/information

    QUESTION 
    I've followed the advice in the book Build a Second Brain for almost two years. I'm using Microsoft One Note to capture everything, and the notebook is on the cloud, so I can use it on mobile devices as well. It's saved me a lot of time, made me more productive, and helped me implement ideas...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    There's a similar feature in the Newsletter Plugin I use on my website. It will automatically generate and mail newsletters using my website's existing or new content. It merges it with a dynamic template I can create and then takes care of everything. You just leave it running in the...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    I agree with @Andy Black. Start with the simplest option to gain some momentum. Once you have some subscribers, you can easily migrate to your own domain and newsletter setup. I'm worried that you will get caught up with the technology and trying to manage it when your time could be better spent...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Building the tech to add a newsletter function to something like a WordPress site is easy and probably takes about an hour, including installing and configuring the plugin and hooking it up to AWS. My big question is, what are you offering in the Finance Space? Why should I subscribe to your...

    Is joining a university worth it?

    INTRO 
    University is 100% worth it, but not for the sake of getting a certificate or job. It's all about the opportunities it offers and the contacts you make. Many great startups came from people at university working with the contacts they made. But there is a BUT. You need to be doing something...

    Youtube Script writing - how words work | need help

    IDEA 
    It sounds like you are trying to eat an elephant in one go. Focus on improving one thing, improve it and then move on to the next. When I started, I didn't script my videos, so I frequently missed important points and just rambled. Since then, I've scripted everything, and I've probably...
