    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Anyone remember those documentaries 10 or so years ago where there were "lights" seemingly floating in mid air. Then suddenly going super fast and changing directions quickly? "Impossible for a modern aircraft at the time." Fast forward a couple of years and we have hover drones.

    WordPress Site Speed, Perfected—Ask Me Anything

    GOLD! HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Lol your copy is still better than mine :P Too much work imo, unless his client adds some 0s to that check. You can put together a 1s WP site like that in 1-2 weeks. Seems to work on NGINX with some config. But that's what caught my eye as well. Their QUIC support to shave off another...

    What experience do you have with headless wp? I'm getting 1-3s load times on a 5k SKU ecomm site, with just indexing and caching. edit: Also thanks for the write up @bytecode. Major brain fart on that last post on my part.

    Fantastic write-up @LittleWolfie !! Run asset cleanup then index the listings. Making db calls for all of those kills your server.

    My main concern with AMZN is, you agree to let them copy your product. (If I'm reading their terms of service correctly) If it does well, of course they'll notice. Go around you, source from overseas and brand it as Amazon Basics, and slap it at the top of the SERPs. Or am I paranoid? What we...

    MorningRod - What do you think about my invention?

    I jerry rigged an arduino to mine to open at set times, but it broke after an accident. Cons A quick search shows your competition is selling it for USD $70 - 100. You need to get your costs down. Why does the plastic need to be sturdy? Once you set it up, you don't touch it. The above are...

    Do You Want To Learn Facebook Ads For E-Commerce?

    MARKETING 
    There are a couple of FB groups I'm part of, from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand members. Most of them are pitching cut-the-bs courses. Then the group members. The ones actively running ads for their ecomms, engage in tactic discussions. Some give the basics free, then offer paid...

    Need for Speed

    EXECUTION 
    You can go to Facebook and search by group. Web design, web development, wordpress, etc. No need to create an outreach program. I'd do the opposite. Document your process, share all the details with these groups. Then the people with the money to outsource this work will find you as the expert...

    You don't truly know if something is correct for your business unless you try. Glenn understands it, so he increases his %, by tapping experts. (I noticed this in my more successful clients as well.) And they do it in the following pattern: Aim. Execute. Aim. Execute. . . repeating...

    I'm in this space. What I need is a WordPress consultant to speed up my clients' sites. Someone who can keep up with the changes in technology. So far I've found 1 who actually delivers, out of the million plus web devs out there. Business owners won't/don't care about our optimization guides...

    Watch for this fraud on Upwork

    PEOPLE 
    Great catch! I've been hiring developers there for the past 3 years. Few bad apples, but got it down to a process now. Most important of which, is creating my own test questions, related to the project at hand. One of my lowest requirements is a resume/portfolio. Which is only factored in...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    You're right. I think he was doing it for effect. 90 days to get $1M. 90 days to get approved. On the same results page, the actual time-frame shows around 6 months for a new one. (180 days)

    I appreciate Glenn taking the viewer through scenarios they may encounter. Hardships. Luck. Pivot Points. For example we know he has internet access. Do you think he couldn't type in... The show is more like a book filled with lessons and anecdotes.

    Science Fiction as Innovation: Holograms, Force Fields, etc.

    This is amazing! Geometry that is being rendered is sliced up into hundreds of digital horizontal cross sections before being projected synchronously onto a specially designed high speed reciprocating screen. As the photons of light hit the screen, they are diffused and reform a physical cross...

    Processed grains are basically poison. They prevent your body from absorbing important minerals. Including iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and a few others. (I'm being dramatic. they won't kill you....too quickly) If you need the carbs, eat whole grain like steel cut oats. Iron helps your...
