    I'm going to go from bankruptcy/£240,000 personal debt to a life of freedom using Facebook ads.

    EXECUTION 
    A few years later I was offered the opportunity to purchase a website that enabled people to put the specification of their laptop on and it would generate a price for me to purchase to re-sell on. This cost £6000. Funded by overdraft. (Mistake 4) So now I was running a computer repair business...

    I'm going to go from bankruptcy/£240,000 personal debt to a life of freedom using Facebook ads.

    EXECUTION 
    Eventually, I ended up with a £50k bank overdraft that I had personally guaranteed. I had a couple of websites I used to purchase new and used laptops from for my customers and loved the idea of running a similar site. So I purchased a domain called whichlaptop.co.uk and for the next 3 years...

    I'm going to go from bankruptcy/£240,000 personal debt to a life of freedom using Facebook ads.

    EXECUTION 
    Fast forward 18 months and my Mercedes wasn't suitable for carrying computers and laptops so I sold it at an £18,000 loss and bought an old van. When I was younger I always had the mindset that I was going to be rich, financially. I'd see big houses and think I'll have one of them one day. I...

Yes you read it correctly, my name is Paul and at the time of writing this, I'm £240,000 in personal debt and on the verge of...

    Failure is almost guaranteed if you ignore this one simple truth

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Thanks for your response @RazorCut it means a lot. I am actually going to create an accountability thread now as there's a bit more to my story. Hopefully what i write will also be of help to others and prevent them from making the same mistakes i've done.

    Failure is almost guaranteed if you ignore this one simple truth

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Wow, this thread @RazorCut has hit the nail on the head regarding my current situation. July 23rd, 2019 The products for my new brand had just arrived in the warehouse. My new website was ready and it was time to go live. It's had taken me a year to get it to market. I had jumped over a lot of...

    Am i throwing in the towel?

    I felt the exact same way hence I moved on. Just selling random products didn’t appeal and building a brand solely on amazon didn’t either. I’ve had my account suspended on a couple of occasions for silly things out of my control and you can’t have that hanging over your company. Amazon is...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    So essentially then it's a normal feeling to be downbeat when your business isn't "growing" ? I get a dopamine rush when i get an email saying New order. But it also works the opposite way. If i go a day without one i become anxious, and start asking questions such as "is this really a good...

    I'm launched my brand and i'm stuck what to do next

    Sales people no. It can sold in stores but it’s a seasonal product so I’ve positioned it to be available worldwide with free shipping so when it’s cold in one country it can sold in another.

    I sell a physical product to the consumer market. Facebook, Instagram and google ads are the best marketing solutions:

    I'm launched my brand and i'm stuck what to do next

    I outsourced it because although i'd read a lot about facebook ads i never had any experience of actually running the ads. After spending $2000 for only 4 sales i thought that i must be doing something fundamentally wrong. So my thought process was, i could spend another $2000 and still be in...

    I'm launched my brand and i'm stuck what to do next

    I've recently launched my new brand which primarily is being marketed via facebook, instagram influencers and Google ads. I've never ran facebook ads before but i read quite a lot and then i created the facebook ads myself (similar to the ads of my competitor who spends $80k a month) but after...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Since my last update in January i've launched my new brand and sold my power adapter brand. I felt a big weight lifted off my shoulders when the old brand was sold. 15 years of was long enough and had taken its toll. I've been using facebook ads to grow the new brand and to be honest was...

    [GUIDE] Facebook Ads Made Simple (That Even Your Mom Can Understand) 2019 Edition

    NOTABLE! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Great thread. When you are targeting multiple countries is it better to have them in their own campaigns so you can monitor their performance better? Same goes for interests and behaviours at ad set level, would you have them each interest or behaviour in its own ad set or stack them.

    I remember coming across this post a while back. Well now I’m in the desert of desertion. I’ve been working on launching a brand for 8 months now. My products are ready to ship tomorrow from China to warehouse in USA. The photographer has his samples and will photo shoot this weekend. Website...

    How important is a brand story?

    Yes this is exactly what I’m planning to do. And one of the main reasons why I was going to pay £250 to a brand story creator who’s got excellent reviews Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How important is a brand story?

    That’s just it I don’t have a genuine story. I’m not the first to market. I haven’t re-invented the wheel. I’m not living in a fashion designer city like London, Milan, Paris etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
