    Will eating steak on video increase conversions?

    MARKETING 
    BTW, I LOVE your pop-up opt-in box. If anybody hasn't seen it, take a trip to the site and take a look. It's hard NOT to fill it out. Honestly. But I did have an issue where it popped-up OVER the video while I was watching it. I don't know the numbers on that specifically, but I bet it's bad...

    Something Cool I'm Doing On Twitter

    MARKETING 
    I guess what confuses me is "doesn't look good", "image" etc. These seem awfully arbitrary. Perhaps you mean on each individual tweet, if there are 90 RTs it's more likely to be looked upon favorably by followers than a tweet with 1RT because it makes followers feel like they have a sense of...

    Something Cool I'm Doing On Twitter

    MARKETING 
    Not at all. It's set up as a "play at your own pace" thing where they check their own answers. Twitter isn't robust enough for anything more than that. Once I release the show, I WILL be releasing a social mobile app as well with global/local leaderboards and such. Why is this "detrimental"...

    Figured it out for the desktop version, and then thought "I wonder if this works for the mobile version" and then opened it up there as well!

    INSPIRED project. Fastlane Shark Tank.

    Wow. This is an idea I've had in a notebook for years. Mark Burnett is a hero of mine and I've wanted to create such a reality show for a long time. Please forgive me if I'm boring anybody by jumping right into what excites ME most about this: The video. You couldn't have picked a better time...

    I feel like it can work pretty well for "voting" type deals. If you're doing something with pop culture or movies or bands: Inside the visible area: MOVIE SHOWDOWN! Which movie had the #BetterVillain? (expand for options) After the click: (above) #XMen (below) #SpiderMan2 Relevant images...

    Something Cool I'm Doing On Twitter

    MARKETING 
    Some additional stats I forgot about: From my experience with other twitter accounts, about 20% of the people you follow "blind" will follow you back (following blind is basically a random follow) There's a 2K cap on how many people a new account can follow... so based on that cap, I estimate...

    Something Cool I'm Doing On Twitter

    MARKETING 
    I'm putting together a pilot of a television show that I'm going to Kickstart later this year. It's a Trivia show... I decided to use twitter to promote it. Images are a huge part of twitter. Posts with images get more 'favorites', more interactions across the board. Here are the stats: Tweets...

    Strange little rant I found...

    MINDSET 
    Pretend all cash doesn't exist. We'd function as a society by bartering services and crafted goods. Money is a 'coupon' so you can trade with others, in the case that you don't need their particular goods when they need yours. If you look at the world like this, you'll see that there is no...

    It's not about who did it first...

    I hate when I tell somebody something that I'm doing and they reply with "________ is already doing something like that" It makes me HAPPY when there is something out there like what I do. It means there's a growing market.

    HOW DO I SERIOUSLY GIVE UP GAMING

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Additionally, you might find it interesting that gamification of my activities help motivate me. I'm driven by high scores, leveling up, unlocks, perks. So I apply that to my business activities. If I do good enough in my latest launch, I can buy a new computer, which will let me then work 3x...

    If you back a Kickstarter project that sells for $2 billion, do you deserve to get rich?

    INVESTING 
    If they were offering equity, they may not have RAISED 2.4 million. Kickstarter backers share the mentality of shoppers; they're usually paying to GET something. Sometimes the thing they GET is a sense of accomplishment, and sometimes it's a VR headset.

    Copy / Steal Ideas

    IDEA 
    Yeah it's fine, go for it. Ideas aren't worth anything. The person that thought of that brilliant idea? They're not the first. Often times ideas develop independently at the same time. There's probably a dozen+ people out there with the exact same idea. But they're not going to do anything...

    Does anybody else get depressed after seeing entrepreneurial successes?

    HOT! FTE 
    I haven't accomplished that much either.. But there's no doubt in my mind I will. Seeing other people succeed makes me happy. It verifies that I'm not crazy and the world IS actually as I see it: A place where you can make things happen.

    It may be powerful, but it's bullshit!

    I love the word. It makes me money. We used it ALL the time for the LUXURY brands. When buying luxury items, people feel guilt. "this money can be going to charity, or to buy gifts for someone else, or to pay bills" They feel horrible about themselves when they buy something unnecessary for...

    Is affiliate marketing as bad as MJ made it sound?

    MARKETING 
    Affiliate marketing is like owning a local shop. You don't have control over the product, you're just reselling it. it's possible to make good money, but not enough money to swim in a pool of gold coins Scrooge McDuck style unless you're the one with hundreds of affiliates for a product YOU own...

    Will eating steak on video increase conversions?

    MARKETING 
    Great thread headline. Increase conversion from what? Do you have a similar video without a steak? Or increase conversion from NO video? I think the steak's great. Honestly, if I were you, I'd hold on you eating the steak, silently, with a straight face. I'm talkin like 4 or 5 bites. Really...

    How To Use Copywriting To Double Profits

    AMA 
    Thanks for putting in the time. So, I posted this yesterday around noonish. Since then 356 visits and 20 sales, putting me at 5.6% conversion rate. Unsure if that's good or bad. I made back my advertising expenditure, but it would be nice to make more. Yeah, you're right about the headline...
