    Cold Callers: I want your opinion!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    You are speaking to 3% of the DMs that you call and I am of the opinion that no matter how many times you adjust your pitch you percent will only move a tiny bit and that's because your offer is poor. The people you are calling don't know you, don't trust you and in general don't know they need...

    Am I Being Helpful or Just Being Used?

    RANT 
    Why don't you just ask him for help with something? Doesn't need to be programming related, ask him to help move a couch or anything else that would take effort on his part. Is it possible that he does value your friendship and just has been busy when you've asked to grab a drink previously...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    "Upwork is too saturated" I posted a copywriting job recently and got less than 10 applications - plenty of my jobs go unfilled and must be reposted because there are no good candidates within the first 3 days (design, code, copywriting, everything!).

    Sounds like for a production run they need a bigger mold that creates more than one unit at a time. A sample mold will only create one unit at a time which would be too slow at full production.
