    Facebook is on a roll; buys out Oculus VR for $2 billion.

    I've been sitting on an augmented reality idea for a couple of years now that I think would really be amazing. The big barrier of course is the technical execution of it.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Love it.. While reading it, it also struck me how you (almost) never see any of these "traits" in posts around the forum here, which is a good sign. :)

    Google PPC and Leadpages?

    Yes Google made this rule a few years ago in an effort to combat 'thin' affiliate lead pages. They basically declared war against affiliates, and made it tougher for them to set up direct traffic to a merchant's lead collection page, or if they were trying to collect their own leads before...

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Another one is relying completely on sales from Amazon. Amazon is without a doubt a great place to start for many businesses, and can certainly drive lots of business... But - it's important to realize too that you are still at the mercy of a third party if that is where all your sales are...

    Validating a product/brand with a survey before it exists

    MARKETING 
    I thought this was pretty cool. Basically, ad guru George Lois helped the Quaker company validate whether or not they should expand their products into offering syrup (since they were already making pancake mixes). They didn't think they should go into it. Remember, this was before the brand...

    Analyzing Landing Page Data Help Needed

    EXECUTION 
    My guess would be your actual sales copy but it's hard to give specific advice without having seen the page but like throttleforward suggested - post it up in the Insider's so we can take a look.

    My progress: creating a product

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah that's one thing I will be facing too if my product will hit production. Been pondering this for some time but it's one of those things any product creator must face. Mine consists of around a dozen parts, mostly hard plastic and aluminum - but they must be precisely fit for it to function...

    Yeah Mason took the group shot but I don't know if it was his camera, or maybe @JasonR 's camera? Look forward to seeing it.
