    GOLD! 
    My personal blog/website income to date is around 1/40th of my content marketing income to date. And I've been working on my personal sites it for for around 5x as long! It's doable, but being a good digital marketer is only part of it. You have to be very driven IMO. I love writing, but...

    My personal set of criteria, which went something like this: Small and light Research told me I could sell the item for 3x the "best price" from the manufacturer (I was wrong) Sales volume means I shouldn't keep the stock for over a year (I was wrong) High product quality (I still don't know...

    Sorry @Bigguns50, I missed your reply. I only discovered this book recently and while I have it - I haven't sat down to read it recently. Currently knocking off the Personal MBA and then I'll be giving it a go. In 2017 I absolutely want to work with more manufacturers in China.

    Hi @Maciev, 1. I quoted the project at my full rate after seeing the pricing and MOQs for the products. This was their high margin pricing, so I quoted my services at the full market rate before negotiating, then evened it out to match up with their MOQ. There was no transfer of money (though I...

    Get educated online? a bad/good idea?

    IDEA 
    I quit 6 months into my Software Engineering degree and have been mainly self taught since aside from a few IT industry certifications over the year. I learned fast that my degree was going to put me 4 years and $25,000 behind the game. Sure enough my first full time job I was paid the same as...

    Cheers @MotiveInMotion . Most importantly, yes it's a KGC10 Skyline. The plan was to get one when my net worth hits $625k but as they were only ever sold right hand drive and I now live in a left hand drive country where they are not eligible for import, so plans have changed. I couldn't bring...

    How To Automate Your Instagram Account

    SOCIAL MEDIA AMA 
    Thanks again @Aaron W . I have found that finding a "synergy account" and following their followers or liking their last 3-4 photos works fairly well. Probably a 30% success rate, but get the right account and it can be far higher.

    Thank you for the reply. Do most of these come from follow/unfollows, liking multiple photos from their accounts or a combination?

    Is this is even MORAL? Creating a brand and a story.

    MARKETING 
    Lies or not, morality is individual set of beliefs. One person can lie through their teeth and sleep like a baby while another will hate themselves for it. Personally I hate conflict and hassle, so my morality keeps me from doing anything that will bring angst/hassle my way. I can word things...

    Thanks for your kind words Walter. I have referenced many of your posts since - less from the point of view as a customer of a Chinese business but more as a consultant wanting to work with Chinese/Taiwanese businesses. A family member has taught me a lot too. ...respect goes a long way...

    I have a rough knowledge of his prices and MOQs. If he converted 1 lead he'd have paid for the site. I can't see how many he has converted but know how many leads he has received (I still manage his analytics)... my guess is that they have done very well out of the new set up.

    This is a quick story to tell you why the reasons blocking your success aren't actually the ticket to success. It's all a choice. Last year I began researching a product to experiment with selling on Amazon through FBA. I had money to invest but didn't want to risk it since I had no clue how to...
