Guys!!! Please give me your feedback about my landing page
MARKETINGFirst as MJ says... Buy CA$HVERTISING. Seriously... a lot of business books are the same recycled shit but that one is awesome. Read it a few times, make corrections and make more money. At a glance - Headline is off. There should be some sort of miraculous promise or intriguing hook. Too many...- benhebert

All College Taught Me Was How to Pay Off Loans
Last night while filing my taxes, I got to the section where I enter the amount of interest that I've paid off of my student loans. I graduated in the Fall of 2011, so I've had a full year of Sallie Mae payments. The number sent me into utter shock and immediate dispair. While my loan payments...- benhebert

Need To Sell An Ad Space I'm So Desperate
MARKETINGFirst you need to install Google analytics to analyze the behavior of the users, then you can begin pushing content that they want. Getting that share is awesome, but traffic will stabilize after a spike like that. Analytics -> Adsense -> Enhance Content -> Market (maybe to more fitness...- benhebert

Need To Sell An Ad Space I'm So Desperate
MARKETINGCalling BS on this. If you're in that niche with the traffic levels stated, there is zero reason why you're not making serious cash. If you're doing 440,000 pageviews a month off of 70,000 visitors that's more than 5 pages per visit. If these users are hitting five pages in a competitive...- benhebert

How to test the buyers intent for your business idea for less than $100
IDEAThe classic entrepreneurial mistake is building a product that you think serves a market need without ever doing any testing, pre-selling or the market research necessary to be success. We set-up blogs, websites, e-commerce stores, or build products and then it’s like okay now do people even...- benhebert

Is it possible to build and operate a business on a university campus?
It sounds like you have nothing but an idea. Build an MVP, prove the model and then raise money to scale. Until you actually have something substantial, you're just a dreamer ;)- benhebert

Market Evaluation Question
WEB/DIGITALSomething I always evaluate when looking at a keyword is the concept I call buyers intent. When someone types in "keyword" into google? Is the next action that they're going to take a purchase? Are they likely to buy after that? The competition for the keyword may be low because there's no...- benhebert

Online is NOT the only way
EXECUTIONWith online business (not necessarily in the tech sector) you can launch a business at a lower cost and scale to a larger market. Ex.

The Anatomy of a Fastlane Startup...Watch, Real Time
HOT!Why I've been drawn to this forum is that you avoid the "4 hour mantra" that has swept the entrepreneurial space. Building something to scale takes an incredible investment of time and often money. I think the concept of what you're doing is similar to Pat Flynn's niche site duel and if done...- benhebert

20 year old aspiring entrepreneur- where to start?
My first step of advice is to take as many internships you can while still in school. You don't have a lot of financial responsibility yet (assumption) so you can take some risk by interning at startups. Learn a skill... sales, marketing, development whatever and become a master. You're not...- benhebert

Why I Hate the Term “Lifestyle Business†& Why It Should Die
As long as you're in business (positive cash flow), you can call it whatever the hell you want. If I'm making money, I'm winning! Some businesses are inherently more difficult to scale than others without an influx of cash, so they can become more "lifestyle" oriented but I don't think any were...- benhebert

Do you regularly step outside of your comfort zone?
MINDSETMoving into sales for any period of time is the best move anyone can make for their career IMO. Teaches you how to hustle! I did a stint selling auto insurance and hated every second of it, but damn am I good at cold calling.- benhebert
