    Alex Hormozi. What is your opinion? Mine is (mostly) negative.

    He scammed everyone. Stole all the credit cards. Forced us to buy a course for three easy payments of $2,997. ... I'm just giving you shit... ... he did a full stack and pretended like he was going to sell it as a whole package for 997... and everybody "bought it" hook, line, and sinker...

    Has anyone here raised capital?

    QUESTION 
    Not every American is dumb... I mean... *I* am a dumb American... but I have heard of this magical land called Slovakia! :rofl: (and maybe I've done a small bit of travels in my day) Web design is a good way for you to make money if you get good at it. Whatever skill you decide, be the best...

    Watching the Hormozi launch right now and the amount of people who are freaking out in the chat is hilarious. "SCAM! WE GOT SCAMMED! HE SAID HE HAS NOTHING TO SELL ME! SCAMMER! AHHHHHH!" The troll king :rofl:

    Has anyone here raised capital?

    QUESTION 
    There's a very technical (and secret) strategy for raising money to fund something like this called "friends and family" You need to sell the idea. Just from what you've written here, you seem passionate about it. Start talking about it to all of your friends and family and ask them who they...

    Building an Audience - Content, "Helping People," and Passion

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Very good questions. I would also say if you've got a physical product you don't need to build an audience you need to sell it. Why worry about vanity metrics? Because that's all they are. Likes, followers, comments, nobody cares. Amazon PPC?

    FEEDBACK 
    You did great. 99% are so terrified to run an ad they never even start. I know people who will pay 2k, 5k, 20k for an ad course and never create an ad because they're scared they'll "lose money" -- so silly. So here's the first piece: I don't normally judge a landing page until it's had at...

    Yeah... it's just not enough. But maybe I'm misreading this... 3,000 page views and 260 people clicked "schedule" ? Or you mean 3,000 views of the ad and 260 people clicked through to the website?

    I just needed a break from yelling at my ad team about less-than-acceptable copy and creatives... and here I come to yell at you about your less-than-acceptable copy and creatives (so take my rage with a grain of salt). @biophase is super right. You're going after a super-sophisticated market...

    You're not alone. Many people say "I have 10 years of experience!" When the truth is they have 1 year of experience and they just repeated it 9 more times. They make the same mistakes. Never grow. Never learn. Never evolve. I believe everything we do should be with the idea of constant and...

    I would challenge this belief. A LOT of companies do this (in every country). Most businesses just getting started want to take on any and all business. The "we'll do that, too!" attitude seems like a good idea... and especially when you're desperate for work (and money) -- it's hard to turn...

    I end up buying a lot of courses, coaching programs, and masterminds just to get around some of these people, build relationships, and ask for help after I've given a ton of value. Still, not the same as a full-time employee or partner... but it's what we've got :frown: Stop using that word...

    I know 3 different $50 million/year+ revenue guys on Amazon... two of them started courses and were just awful. Not only at selling the course and selling coaching (it's a VERY different sale than a frying pan)... but they were horrible at teaching what they did/do to build their businesses...

    I think this is the underrated statement here. You work really hard to get those skills and then you sit and say "well, why don't I just do it for myself then?" All the best talent I'm after these days have their own thing going on so it's hard to convince them to do projects with me.

    90% of people who buy a book don't get past the first chapter. Please hear me: I'm not trying to persuade you one way or the other. But it needs to be YOUR decision, not anybody else's. It's hard to define the difference between a "medium" and a "business" or a "business model" and a...

    It's like this weird cycle of... "I'm going to start X business"! That's a great idea! "Yeah, so-and-so told me it's going to make me rich after I give them $X,xxx.xx!" Er, no, not like that. "Oh, KungFuSteve said it's a STUPID IDEA and a STUPID BUSINESS and it's ALL A SCAM!" No, I didn't...

    (Warning: Long-winded post about SMMA ahead. Continue at your own peril.) I can't help but notice a trend... There must be some huge promos going out in the biz opp space right now that makes everyone and their mother think it's a good idea to start a social media marketing agency. First...
