    Anyone use CLICKFUNNELS?

    MARKETING 
    Yeah I agree with @hughjasle -- we used to use it a fair bit and are transitioning away. I'm finding Thrive Themes a lot more powerful. We do miss some of the integrations etc but don't miss all the times you're just 'working around' CF to get what you want done. What I will say though is that...

    "Influencer" Marketing

    MARKETING 
    I'd love to hear more if you make this work but my honest prediction is that this is going to mostly be 'not fun' for you trying to get agreed. A hybrid deal like this can work with big brands and mega influencers - they almost become a full on brand ambassador as part of it and their...

    Best way to get your site up in Google search?

    MARKETING 
    Moz stuff is a good starting point for the basics but it gets a little... fluffy in the detail. Lots of guest writers and conflicting opinions/light promotional fluff etc. If you have a small budget I really recommend Distilled's DistilledU. You get their detailed articles as well as all the...

    Lewis Howes Inner Circle

    MARKETING 
    I love how in the testimonials/FB comments bit one of the comments is 'I'm selling people a $10k course and I've got 14 people signed up for my strategy call. Tell me how to get their money' pretty much... Reminds me of this thread... *UNSCRIPTED* - BRO-MARKETING! (Great Copy Selling Crap Products)

    What is the WORST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Mine is definitely '4 billion SAAS tools'. In the short term they all seem to serve a need/be useful for something you need right then. And you're sure you'll definitely use them a lot... Instead I end up burning $1k/year each for a bunch of 87-99/month tools that I barely use and end up...

    Marketing Agency - (Not a Tai Lopez Wannabe) Finally Going on My Own

    MARKETING 
    Back when we did consulting still I used to target the people who 'have the customers I want' eg web designers who don't do marketing, accountants who have tons of SME clients etc via LinkedIn. We used to just travel round from city to city that first year trying to hustle up business. We'd go...

    Does your "get rich" internet guru only make $28K/yr?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    The one I'm seeing more and more these days - probably more than the lambos from 'newer entrants' is the 'real sales' scam because most of their targets don't get the difference between profits and sales. Especially when accumulated over many, many years. I saw a course sold by a 'genius...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read the book! And grabbed my copy of Unscripted... onwards and upwards.

    Any practical Marketing book recommendations?

    MARKETING 
    I'll second a couple from above: Jab Jab Jab Right Hook DotComSecrets (he's done a follow up - Expert Secrets too which is more niche but still interesting) Before adding one: Made To Stick - by Chip and Dan Heath It's a solid analysis of the reasons some ideas for marketing/telling a...

    From Bank Manager To Freedom (Linkbuilding and Influencer Marketing)

    MARKETING 
    Hi everyone, Just about to finish up the last few pages of TMF so thought I'd introduce myself properly after some brief lurking while I read through the book. I definitely started out in the slowlane. Ran up college debts, got a job at a bank... didn't earn a whole lot in the early years...

    Examples of small SaaS businesses?

    SAAS / APPS 
    In the SEO industry there are a fair few niche SAAS products that do pretty well (and my team loves): Garrett French's Citation Labs (notably link prospector) DeepCrawl LinkResearchTools Serpwoo Buzzstream There's dozens of competitors to those on that list too - most of which are making solid...

    Zero sales, not enough $ to move out from parents

    NOTABLE! 
    Hey everyone... this is my first post so slightly out of sequence - will drop by the intros once I've finished the book - just got started over the holidays and will be finished soon. Basically my take on this story is two things (and I'll tell you a little of my story so you see how it works...
