    Content Machine - Dan Norris

    BOOKS 
    I'm reading Content Machine by Dan Norris, for the second round through. It's a pretty helpful book about, you guessed it, Content Marketing. He's advocating that you can build a 7 figure business on CM alone, by following some basic commandments for startups, including: 1. Starting with a...

    Awesome story! The flatirons are one of my favorite places to be, and I lived in Boulder for a long time. This is so important because we become what we think about, so if you have that image of a certain person, hold it, and sleep on it, you ARE that. Then you're generally emanating that from...

    Awesome! Would you mind going into more depth about some specifics of a distribution company? Since ultimately you'll be launching the brand big time and using that, it obviously took a process to just have a fulfillment center and warehouse, etc.? Like MJ talking in the book about control, it's...

    @hughjasle Curious to know where you're importing these products to, did you have some warehouses on hand, or are they pretty easy to set up storage and fulfillment to? Thanks

    Any 'Boosted Post' facebook successes out there?

    Great points guys.. Social proof is a strong emotional and cognitive bias which helps almost any situation. It's almost like the Halo Effect, except online, so when people can't see you, they have to go off of what they see. It's not like they'll be meticulously fact-checking but it does help...

    No bro, you're not rambling.. Sorry to open this old thread, but not really because it's AWESOME! There's a Terence McKenna quote about this, and I think it applies here: “Half the time you think your thinking you’re actually listening” This is such a great thread and I am just going...

    Yes, that's correct I was referring to a blog network! And yes it's interesting how many people are willing to not own the whole thing, like the book talks about. If you are an affiliate you can make bank but if you pay the affiliate, well... Ah okay I see, so your approach will be lots of...

    Nice @hughjasle! Sounds like some great progress; congratulations. What are 3 of your main takeaways that you've learned from your experience in AM? It sounds like we're on a similar path with that transition to building brands and scaling out so you can control everything. Selling things...

    Successful Slowlaner Rebukes Fastlane (My Response...)

    NOTABLE! SLOWLANE 
    WOW! Breaking news, all I need to do, is start where I am at 22, and save $966/mo. consistently for 50 years and I'll have a million dollars? Or... I could build my business to 1 million dollars net / mo. in 5-10 years... Tough choice. It's sad to see that this dude thinks a short vacation...

    What's up Fastlaners, A while ago, I finished the TMF one time through fully, referenced it multiple times, and am currently going back through a full re-read. I've gained some massive insights from this book, and the biggest takeaway of all was that of chasing needs and coloring that value...

    @Bigguns50 @Ninjakid Great advice guys! Buffett says you're only taking a risk if you don't know what you're doing 0.o Also, I would add @keelba that the way you 'frame your speech' as I call it, is very important. Saying things like "just my luck" is expecting to fail! Don't set...

    E-Commerce Selling via amazon.com and .ca

    MARKETING 
    I agree with that full control point, AKA a CENTS commandment. But yes it does take capital. That's my strategy too though I believe if you're in E-commerce these days, it's silly to not be on Amazon, and you can at least leverage it. Whether that's cash flow or transitioning, or selling the...

    Ouch, heavy truth though! Don't be "pulling a trailor of maneur" in a partner... It will make or break you! And Keelba also, it doesn't help to look back at the past and say where you could have done better; hindsight is 20/20. The past doesn't need to define you, and I can guarantee those...

    So going forward, would you import to a separate warehouse independent to Amazon and have it fulfill service? Because if you did FBA to fulfill everything, your payouts would still be frozen obviously, and it takes time to build the list & marketing to your site & rank it with content etc...

    Awesome post here MJ; I've been thinking about control a lot lately! I understand that you should really control everything in your business, the website, the customers, the list, the marketing etc. That said, I would love to know where it would end? If you're selling physical products...
