    Starting a Copywriting Freelance Business. How well do I sell myself?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm not familiar with all of these people. But I can say three things that are very likely true about their marketing. First, if they are selling using sales copy, I bet the copy is much better written and edited than your own sales letter that you posted here. The ideas, organization...

    Crowdfunding... Making it happen.

    EXECUTION 
    Hey Alex, you've thought a lot about crowdfunding, but I wonder if that adds some extra steps you don't need. There are several people how have successfully launched product businesses along the same lines as you, but without trying to get a lot of capital from crowdfunding, they put their...

    The Next Instagram – Social Network For Stories

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    If anyone's interested enough to pay for this, it seems that it might work as a FB app rather than your own new social network. That way you don't have to recruit people to a new service or deal with login and security code and servers, etc. All you'd need is to provide a connection layer on...

    How to loan someone money?

    That's for you to choose. You can decide what you're willing to offer, and what you're willing to accept. Within that range, you can negotiate if you want, or just offer a single "take it or leave it" offer. For many loans the monthly payment amount is fixed. The first payment is all...

    EXECUTION RANT 
    In any field, whether it's jobs you could do or people that would be good to date, or whatever, 10% of them could be compatible with you. Also in any field, whether it's managers with a budget to hire someone NOW, or lovely people who are eager to have more dates NOW, about 10% of all people...

    Job finding

    EXECUTION RANT 
    Yes! The first part is about why you should pursue the hidden job market, especially at smaller organizations; who you are and what you offer that you can do, and how you do it; and a start at finding people to interview to ask them about their jobs as part of your research. This part is ONLY...

    Starting a Copywriting Freelance Business. How well do I sell myself?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    yyes, the thing you missed from the early success stories of the previous generation, like Gary's and Dan's and Jay's, is that they didn't use brilliant word choice, enticing storytelling, easy to follow organization, etc. Although they both referred to creating something from nothing, all...

    From Fired to Cold Calling

    EXECUTION 
    If you asked I bet most of them would say, "That's not a problem, what's important to you in graphic design for business?" ;)

    Starting a Copywriting Freelance Business. How well do I sell myself?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    That's because each of us are giving our own interpretation about how life and business works in general, filtered through our own interpretation about your own life and business opportunities and risks. That's a lot of layers of interpretation, judgment, and opinion. Even if it starts with...

    Yeah, I like all of these guys for their sales advice books, not for their web design chops :hilarious:

    Toilet Tank Lids

    I wonder if 3D printing can make sturdy enough one-piece plastic parts in these custom shapes, at a lower cost than ceramics. (Or even a higher cost, if they'd be more durable & hygenic in plastic.)

    An Entrepreneur Builds a Multimillion Dollar Business with Lego Pieces

    Original post's link is now dead, but the link to the bankruptcy news still works. I saw some videos on youtube, and some companion blog posts, from someone who built an automated recognizer/sorter for lego pieces. But I think that was after this company's bankruptcy, and not for a lego...

    Deep inside

    The first rule of Deep Section is, you don't talk about Deep Section... If this is your first night at Deep Section, you HAVE to sell.

    Paper into gold

    Several years ago I came across the creonline site. I was impressed by the range of articles and quality of thought and investment experience available there. I thought then, and I still do, that when I have funds for an investment portfolio, I'd like to pursue this kind of investing...

    Jon's Big Idea

    IDEA 
    What's B&P? It may be off topic here, but there is a very interesting couple of remarks on this theme from the founder of a Fortune 500 company. If still of any interest I'll dig up the relevant quotes and send 'em to you directly. If the concept has utterly faded away in the intervening...

    I'll continue to read forward in chronological order and find out what else happened for you with the forum. I joined a small group, some from this forum and some not, with weekly conference calls and midweek brief emails for mutual brainstorming and accountability, although each on our own...
