    Your opinion is needed! Which one to hire?

    PEOPLE 
    I find that so funny. You didn't want to do the video yourself because you're a non-english native speaker and don't want to be unappealing to your American demographic... and yet the two potential freelancers are both foreign to the US as well. I think your videos are better than theirs. I...

    Idea in the diet field ......... needs remodling !!!

    IDEA 
    I say just release it and figure out how to scale/grow as you go. Maybe you host bigger classes and then outsource to 'teachers' like you would at any school/academy. Maybe you end up connecting people who are already trainers to people who want to be trained. You'll figure out a solution that...

    Amazon cracking down on erotica ebooks.

    PUBLISHING 
    It's a difficult position to be in for Amazon. It's a highly profitable niche for them with obvious moral/ethical controversy. I'm betting the ability to discreetly read erotica accounts for a HUGE portion of Kindle sales. But at the same time, one small mistake from one of their employees...

    This. Just do it yourself. Your budget is $150.... So download Camtasia Studio 8 for $99 and watch some tutorials. Camtasia 8 has everything you need to screen capture, edit, easily add the zooms, fades, transitions, and add highlights over your mouse. Don't have a Mic? I record all my...

    Copyright Website?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    1) Talk to a lawyer 2) I don't know what "in the middle" means in this context. Do you already have paying customers? Are you already making profit? Just do it. Tackle the problem of competitor rip offs if/when you get to that point. 3) If all your competitors have to do to to win market share...

    Can a fast-lane business be started on WordPress?

    NOTABLE! 
    No, you don't. Which is why Wordpress was put forth as the solution where: 1) You don't have to waste your valuable time learning skills you'll only be mediocre at. 2) You don't have to hire somebody to hire your sites. 3) Your time/energy can be used doing something you'll kick a$$ at that...

    Castleforge's Non-fiction Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    And to boot, Youtube just took down my book trailer, claiming it was "spam". It wasn't. I made very sure to follow their community guidelines... but it seems they don't want me selling a book on how to 'hack' youtube. Anytime I upload something to YT RELATED to the book, they take it down. My...

    So I launched the ebook (Traffic Wizard's 11 Dirty Filthy Unethical and Borderline Illegal Tactics To Get Youtube Views) a few hours ago today, NO SALES. Nothing, not one. I just got a group of 3 or so emails coming in at once, with people telling me they tried to purchase, but weren't able to...

    Progress thread: Apemania's Sword & Sorcery fiction

    This is what I did to launch my minecraft book. I didn't give way hard copies, but for a separate promotion I gave away figurines. Good luck Robert Rodriguez always cuts his trailers before he starts editing his movies. Gave him something to look at and motivate him (as well as shop the movie...

    Can a fast-lane business be started on WordPress?

    NOTABLE! 
    nononono. "start to learn coding." I hate this advice. It's too much complication for somebody who's new online business to learn enough about HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Ajax, etc. If as a business owner, you don't ALREADY possess some decent working knowlege of the code, it's a LOT more...

    Can a fast-lane business be started on WordPress?

    NOTABLE! 
    First of all, the every platform you use for every part of your business doesn't have to meet every point of CENTS... just the business itself. And even though I agree that you don't get 100% control, your barrier to entry point is silly. It's like saying "Skype is free, and anybody who wants...

    Might Be Thrown Out Of The House

    OFF-TOPIC 
    They can't make you do anything. If the money's theirs give it back to them. If it's not, tell them it's none of their damned business what you do with your money.

    "I'm too good for that..."

    I feel like I have a "I'm too good for that" problem. I'll get shitty jobs when I have no other options. (there was an entire YEAR where I was applying for every toilet scribbing, grease bucket, furniture moving job I could find). I always end up developing that mindset: "I'm too good for this"...

    Does "Integrity" matter to you?

    EXECUTION 
    There's your problem right there. /thread. I've got some homework for you: read Purple Cow by Seth Godin. The book directly addresses your concerns on doing what's "working" and pimping products/services that suck. That used to work. Not anymore. The book talks about how in the modern market...

    GTA 5 Pulls In $800 Million in One Day

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I love Rockstar, and I sorta like the GTA games but I've been increasingly disliking them more and more. Nothing to do with the content, just the style. Seems more and more like a hollow shell of a game. Clunky controls, mostly boring missions, tedious relationships, horrible minigames. My...

    I'd def. be interested in having access forum specifically for women, so would the rest of the guys here. Only problem is there would be no women left in the group. :-D

    With this second book, my goal was to create a testimonial/review video compilation. Give away products in exchange for HONEST reviews. Take the highlights of each, and cut them together. I outline the strategy in this video I made sometime last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMp8E21eYpc...
