    I've been working on my own spreadsheets, trying to systemize this process. I stumbled across https://www.import.io If you search for the location on AirBnB, make your search revisions (eg: 2 bedroom, whole apartment), then paste that URL into Import.io, you can export the data to CSV.

    Let's get real - Profits selling on Amazon

    Sales volume has decreased, though rankings are similar and there aren't any obvious competitors taking more of the market. Advertising costs are increasing. As my products are low value, a small increase in advertising cost makes a large difference to the percentage.

    Consolidation and Focus

    EXECUTION 
    Well it's been an interesting 24 hours. After being bombarded with videos/conversations/articles about FOCUS, I decided it was time to limit my "busyness" and continue to simplify. Emails I thought a VA to manage my emails was required at first, but after creating mail rules my life is already...

    New Niche, New Brand - Amazon > eCommerce > Retail

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks to you both. This is my standard practice - I've only had 2x 1 star reviews but I've not been able to get in contact with either.

    New Niche, New Brand - Amazon > eCommerce > Retail

    EXECUTION 
    How do you find the reviewer's emails? I find the negative feedback leavers typically don't use their name as their public display name, so I never manage to get in contact with them.

    Live Rent Free in Multiple Countries

    NOTABLE! REAL ESTATE 
    Actually, a question on tax. I don't need to know *your* specifics, but a hypothetical would help. If someone has properties all around the world and only one AirBNB account, how would they split that up into tax returns for multiple countries? Or do they declare it only in the country that...

    Absolutely brilliant thread @GlobalWealth. Reps given! This is the direction I've been wanting to move in for a few years now - this thread really resonates with me.

    Multi-Authored Books

    PUBLISHING 
    I like the idea of producing a book, let's call it "The Best Roads to Drive Around the World". I enjoy writing, travel and photography, so have a fair amount of content already. In my chosen area of interest (not actually driving), no one has done this since pre-2000, despite the niche growing...

    How to inspire young teenagers to ‘open their mind’?

    MINDSET 
    I've seen families that turn making money into a game. Maybe not with the full thousand, but you could challenge him to turn $100 into $500. "Sure, you could spend that $1000 now, but what if you could turn that $1000 into $1400? $2000? $100,000?"

    $100,000 Per Month by 28 Years Old With One Simple Habit Every Day

    MINDSET 
    Very interesting. A lot of things have been falling into place lately for me. When I left full time employment around 18 months ago, the goal was to match my office job income (86k/yr), but with the freedom to earn it anywhere in the world. It took about 7 months to achieve this. Then when I...

    Need help picking a name

    Doesn't matter what you pick, for the first few months you'll probably feel as though it's not as good as it could be. A year later it will be kickass.

    2016 Year of the Hustle... $250k/net profit

    EXECUTION 
    How did you go with the site sale? I sold a forum in Flippa years ago (must have been the first year Flippa was around!?) and it went well. Half considering selling my current, under-performing site but I've read that you don't get as much for them nowadays. May be worth just keeping it for the...

    I'd not planned to start one of these threads, but @Andy Black encouraged me. I have some spare time today so thought writing a few things down may help. After taking a step back it seems that there is too much going on day to day for focus. Big Picture Goals Financial independence: live from...

    Thanks Andy. I'll let you know when it happens. I'm not one to talk about things before they are a success though, so give me a couple of months to get my house in order.

    I want to start a Digital Marketing Agency

    MARKETING 
    This is exactly my thinking right now. I never planned to start an agency but it is happening because I need more time. It's not my end goal, but I now realise I am building a killer team for my own future businesses.

    I want to start a Digital Marketing Agency

    MARKETING 
    Completely agreed. When it comes to digital marketing, trust goes a long way. A few side notes on possible methods to make digital marketing fastlane-ish: Pay per lead Pay per subscriber Commission on sales Automated fixed price products (potentially using SaaS or private products)

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    This has nothing to do with account growth, it is for the business side to know whether or not Instagram is actually making them money, or if other sources of traffic are a better place to invest.
