    Oh, just now noticed that you joined in 2012 :D maybe "welcome to the forum" isn't the right thing to say... better would be "thanks for your introduction" ;)

    Welcome to the forum :) Well, at least you've already tried starting a business. The majority of people never start, only think about it. As long as you learn from your mistakes, all is good :) - Nick

    I felt the same way. I have to say that looking back, some books are just a big blur. I'd say it's ok if you don't have full comprehension as the first read should give you an overview. When you reread everything, then you should be fully focused IMO. To reduce mental fatigue: get more sleep...

    Growth Hacker Marketing

    Yeah, I read this book right after reading his "Trust me I'm lying" (which is a GREAT book IMO). I felt like this book wasn't that meaty or informative (felt a little like quickly rehashed material for a cheap ebook...). I found the most useful things in the book were the case-studies... Some...

    How To Use Copywriting To Double Profits

    AMA 
    Do you think it is worth it for business owners to master copywriting or do your think it makes more sense for them to get a good grasp of it (for example by doing the Gary Halbert copywriting challenge) and then focus on other parts of the business... In other words: do you think it is a good...

    Found a NEED. Now I am going to solve it.

    EXECUTION 
    Progress: - Finished creating an MVP. Very basic but functional. You can find it at mastermindo.com If anybody would like to join a listed mastermind group go ahead and join one! It's not a "real" webapp yet so I'll be doing the "processing" myself :) If you don't find a mastermind that fits...

    Found a NEED. Now I am going to solve it.

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, this could work, but as as you said: "You would need a very large user base for this to work"... and at the moment I don't. I'll first see if anybody would use the site for free. If people do, great. Then I'll start charging a small fee for joining a listed mastermind group and see how that...

    Found a NEED. Now I am going to solve it.

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, I saw that zend***phin's post/video on that too. Very cool indeed. I might enforce that technique for the mastermind groups that I bring together ;) And thanks for the encouragement! This is too funny. The day I created this thread, I went to a "4HWW meetup" here in Berlin. At the end of...

    Found a NEED. Now I am going to solve it.

    EXECUTION 
    So, for the past couple of months I've been looking for unmet needs. And now I found a need that I will take action on. Here is the problem/need: For people that don't live in an entrepreneurial hotbed or large city, it is difficult to connect with other entrepreneurs/like-minded people to...

    Why learn copywriting?

    MARKETING 
    I think copywriting is a valuable skill to have but the main reason why it is mentioned so much on the forum is, I think, (as you already suggested) that it changes your mindset. Copywriting is basically salesmanship in print. And if you want to be an entrepreneur being good at selling is...

    Here's one of my favorite TV ads: Some ads I watch on TV are super creative and funny but I often doubt their effectiveness. Often I watch an ad and afterwards I'm thinking to myself: "what was this ad even for???" I'm quite skeptical of the effectiveness of the advertising of big brands...

    Welcome to the forum! I've always been fascinated by the VFX in movies. I actually dreamed of working at ILM or somewhere else in that field just a couple years ago :) Did you try starting a business? or were you doing entrepreneurial things at your job? I'm sure you'll learn a ton from this...

    Gary Halbert 30 day challenge Copywriting Group

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I feel like rewriting the sales letters does not help me much in becoming a better copywriter... It's a very mechanical process and sometimes I get lost in a thought totally separate from copywriting when I notice that I'm already half a page further... I can only focus on a few words at a time...

    Just finished The Robert Collier Letter Book. Reading it felt quite painful... very long and lots of repetition... but it really ingrained some important concepts like creating urgency, risk reversal through things like money-back guarantee etc. But I definitely don't look forward to re-reading...
