    Turned $5K into $100K in a year. What should I do now?

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I have to agree with you on this here. There's always something we can learn around here-- crypto wins or others. MJ Demarco has a thread on the Insiders about using options to generate income (not the r/WSB way!) It feels rather similar to theta gang/wheel strategies though. You can learn...

    At least S&P500 has some non-tech like the banks and pharma for some sort of 'hedge'...I'm not too keen on throwing all into Nasdaq to risk a Cathie Wood ARK kind of volatility :happy: But ESG...just looking at how Andy Hall the human rights activist hit my country's glove counters, plantation...

    Learning Copywriting for Marketing

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Yes, I have very similar gripes with the copywriting world in general. Folks tend to argue that 'you are still talking to a person' in B2B (so you can use the same old psychology tricks), but the thing is that in B2B, you are talking with folks at the top of the distribution/manufacturing chain...

    Learning Copywriting for Marketing

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Yes, you have to understand what kind of humour your prospect appreciates. And if that humour is in line with your products/brand identity. For example, I definitely would not be cracking jokes if I was selling services for coffins. Or even pregnant mothers' supplements (actual product I wrote...

    What the shittest investor learned after a full year of loss.

    INVESTING MINDSET 
    There is a big difference between trading and investing. OP's approach is closer to trading rather than HODL for the long term...and the former would need a good technical analysis strategy, take-profit and CL rules. Pretty much a skill just like woodworking or fishing. And definitely you...

    Learning Copywriting for Marketing

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Writing the sales pitches or proposals (like cold emails, Upwork proposals) is copywriting itself...you have to sell your services to clients and compete against other copywriters for the project. For cold emails, I only hear all about Jon Buchan so far. He's more about entertaining folks to...

    Get market research right. Daniel Throssell’s Market Detective course helped give me a steady process to research markets and ‘pain words’…from client questionnaires, to forum mining…to even some surveys.

    Guess once in a while they make a miss... I recently switched to a second-hand iPhone 11 from iPhone 7...and the data transition from the old device was shockingly seamless. I didn't need to connect to iCloud or a PC...just hook it over Bluetooth, wait an hour...and voila...everything done...

    29, Broke & Unemployed in Malaysia but..

    INTRO 
    Good to see another Malaysian here. I studied Finance and Business Analytics myself...and the closest thing I do with the industry is just some stock trading (and eventually options...mostly learnt outside of the degree). A lot you can do with video editing...make your own Instagram/Youtube...

    Not sure why you are getting a lot of heat over your choice of diet. It reminds me of the carnivore diet...which is indeed a thing, and includes a lot more meats and other proteins. Here's an entire write-up on it by Nerd Fitness...

    I think this can even start from early 20s. Me too. I miss some of them. High school friends who would support me in all I did...now they are just remnants of their former selves. But then I think about the new folks I meet now...and I find myself seeking more time to spend learning with them...

    What Are You Giving Up In 2022?

    MINDSET 
    At least you are being consistent. I think my plans up there are also a continuation of what I already do currently...only more of it. For the last post, seems that your slated investments have done pretty splendid, especially Apple and Microsoft.

    Yes, that is what I am working on. Already leapt to the main city away from my hometown...only need to figure out better transport (cars are costly, public transport like trains will need me to have a booster shot for hopefully better immunity). I've found more Telegram chat places with...

    I'll be giving up on serving local Malaysian customers for my freelance copywriting. I checked my records and transactions...and while they have added some very good portfolio pieces to the deck, I did not have very good experiences with them. Despite what I try to put to the table, too many...

    How do I deal with "Fastlane haters"?

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    All books are just the beginning of your learning and work. For 'haters', I simply just edge away from both family and friends that make much negative noise and find like-minded folks on my own. That means for the latter...I speak less to the former...I go to less family gatherings. I don't...

    You are a great dad, Lex. Thank you for sharing. It's very rare that I hear how dads fight to keep their kids cared for. For my own family gatherings, I'm more likely to see most folks drowned in front of their phones...there's no drama, but it's also very bad. Sad.
