Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
GOLD! HOT! CHATOk, cool. Signups and a prospect already is good. Sometimes we hear people say they're going to build a Facebook/Twitter/Discord/Yelp/etc, when they'd do better having a goal of "connecting homeowners with plumbers" or whatever. Sounds like you're not in your batcave hiding from your...- Andy Black

The lifestyle, hobbies, and fun thread.
HOT! CHATThe right after that right-hander at the bottom of the hill, and then the s-bend after, reminds me a lot of Mondello Park. I've been up there on a motorbike a couple of times. I'm not used to using brakes on bikes though... on the road it's all about being smooth and engine braking up to...- Andy Black

Building knowledge tool for trades with AI
- AI -I'm genuinely curious if using a product like chatbase.co will do 80% of what you're thinking of without you having to code, so you can focus on the business side of it, the processes, and the data.- Andy Black

Building knowledge tool for trades with AI
- AI -I uploaded the opening posts of nearly 400 of my forum threads, and transcriptions from 170+ of my YouTube videos and podcasts to NotebookLM and made it available over Christmas. About 40 people tried it and I had quite good feedback from quite a lot of them, saying how they use it...- Andy Black

Restarted a Marketing and Web Design Business, Getting A Number of Leads & Making Money to Fuel the Fastlane
SIDE HUSTLE - AI - WEB DESIGNOver a decade ago I chatted to a guy in the UK who had built a thousand free websites for businesses. They were five-page brochure websites and they paid a monthly hosting and management fee after the build. Over 50% of businesses signed up for content marketing/SEO too. That agency got a...- Andy Black

I've found my meaning and purpose at last
STORYI think this is a good lesson in giving the client what they ask for. It sounds like he wanted one thing but you built completely different functionality he didn't ask for? Why not do a version of the site he asked for? Then, when that's done, you can wait for his phone to ring, and when it...- Andy Black

HOT! CHATThat's so long ago I can't even remember how to do that. But in all seriousness, some of my best performing posts in terms of reach and engagement, have been throwaway ones. I swear the less time I spend creating a post, the better it does.- Andy Black

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATJust read this in an email newsletter. Saving it here: ... Here's a great exercise for coming up with more nonobvious (or contrarian) things… Take your topic and ask yourself three questions: What do I believe to be true about this that 99% of people haven't heard? What would most people...- Andy Black

Scaling a handyman service business
PEOPLE SCALING EXECUTIONThere's always barriers to entry. If the "getting started" barrier to entry is low, then the real barrier to entry just moves further down the line (for example, if a load of people start window washing in a town then the real barrier to entry is getting clients).- Andy Black

Scaling a handyman service business
PEOPLE SCALING EXECUTIONWhat about being in a niche where you don't have to train people so much? Either because there's lots of fully trained people out there already or the work is simple enough that there isn't much training required. Not everybody wants to leave and open their own shop.

I've found my meaning and purpose at last
STORYThat's what I thought as well. If he's got a law firm, then see if you can help him get more clients. Google Ads could work well.

GOLD! HOT! CHATI didn't manage to post a few TikToks a day, not even a video a day. I am starting to see a little signs of traction though.
