Feedback requested for my four-year old fastlane business
My takeaways were: The copy on the homepage is too long. When I land on a page I want to scroll down and know immediately what to do next. I'd recommend using quick short points. For example, rather than: "We offer frustration-free guitar lessons that save time and money while keeping students...- Empires

Ecommerce software question
WEB/DIGITALMy site has good speed. I use Wpengine for hosting which is managed wordpress hosting, it's $29/month and includes free SSL. I forget how much the theme was but its just a one time fee. Woocommerce has Stripe integration so that's easy to set up. I use Wordpress because I needed more...- Empires

Ecommerce software question
WEB/DIGITALI use Woocommerce with Stripe, never had a problem with it. Only recommendation is make sure your theme author updates often, I used a theme that took months to get updates for Woocommerce 3.0 and when they finally released it Woocommerce already had 3.1 out and wasn't compatible with the theme...- Empires

Understand These 4 Things To Create A Productocracy
NOTABLE!I see what you're saying, but I think you are looking at needs wrong. Because a golfer can need new clubs, people do need cell phones, a painter needs to paint and the paint brush cover helps them paint so it helps solve their need to make painting easier, sunglasses are needed to protect your...- Empires

Prerequisites to quitting a job?
MINDSETI did exactly this, although under different circumstances. (Money saved w/ no bills) And I wouldn't recommend it to most people. But you may be in one of the few circumstances where it might be a good idea. Every bodies situation is different, but the majority of people can't just quit their...- Empires

IDEANot sure if these will help, but look into white-label/reseller content management systems. You may be able to use something like this: What's the best white-label CMS software for resellers?

What are best Business/Skills for Freedom?
It's all relative. Programming wouldn't be valuable if you were starting a shoe company. I might prefer online while someone else prefers offline. It doesn't matter. Figure out what suits you. Don't like talking to customers? Maybe an ecommerce business would suit you. Enjoy programming...- Empires

The absolute BEST book you MUST read!
GOLD!I generally take this a step further. Rather than reading a book on how to change a tire, I would look up specifically what I don't know. Where to jack up a car? How to remove stuck lug? Whatever you are struggling with, marketing, branding, social media, etc. Theres usually a specific...- Empires

On what platform should I sell online products?
You're looking at this backwards. You don't seek out to write an e-book or start a blog. You seek out problems to solve, and if an e-book or blog is the solution, then it can be a good idea. Starting a blog for the sake of starting of a blog just makes you part of the other 40 million blogs...- Empires

How long did it take you to get your first sale?
MARKETINGGreat book, and great concept. Interesting seeing how differently things play out for everybody. I quit my job way prematurely, I hit a tipping point (FTE) and had enough. While I had a few years savings before quitting, I definitely don't recommend it. But I don't regret it. I would do it again.- Empires

How long did it take you to get your first sale?
MARKETINGNever had a mentor, always just learned as I went. I imagine that would have sped up the process though. My last businesses I consider the products a failure, but if this business fails I would consider it my own fault. I'll start a progress thread here soon.- Empires

How long did it take you to get your first sale?
MARKETINGGood points. In the beginning it's all about finding product market fit. Follow the feedback to find it. No feedback is also feedback. If you go a long period of time with no results, no feedback, nothing, then it's time to make changes or move on. Bootstrap as much as possible, like you said...- Empires
