    You don't have to do LinkedIn. I post on there but don't get local service businesses as clients from there. I'd consider a higher ticket and more "emergency" niche, like drain unblocking or breakdown recovery. I've mentioned this a few times in the forum and have had little goes at it but...

    I click away as soon as I see cheesy Shutterstock B-roll popping up every 10 seconds to "keep my attention". Simple graphics or animated text works better for me. Or don't bother and be more interesting in the first place. AI voices saying nothing gets me to click away too, but maybe some...

    Ooo. Thanks for the heads up. One of my sons wants to do a Games Design degree at University. I'll share that with him. Just be aware that marketing involves finding out what the market will pay for and how to get them to buy it. It's not advertising the product you built You don't build...

    We won't know what each person's ultimate goal is. @Valier (James Jani) creates such well made documentaries that his ultimate goal may be to get known as a great documentary creator and get onto Netflix? Yes, try to build an asset on land you own, but don't let the commandment of Control...

    IDEA 
    I'd guess cyber security is well in demand, especially with business and government wanting to deploy AI. Having clients or customers is what defines a business, no matter what field. Everyone is in sales one way or another, and most things can be lucrative if done right. Follow the money...

    Any Ideas or Guidance Please

    IDEA 
    What are you going to tell people you can help with? Is it related to the skills and experience they will already know you for (from your IT job or previous jobs)? Or will it be from skills and experience you used in your jobs? When I shifted from being an employee in IT, I first went...

    For me, when I partner with people it stiffles my ability to change direction on a whim and follow my nose. With a partner I felt I was stuck on the path we'd agreed on initially and that I'd have to justify every change in direction. Literally me in the last 3 months on a side project...

    This. Also... they've given Walter the opportunity to follow up and will see what he does. Sometimes people put the ball in your court to see what you'll do. Mixing up my sports, there's a great line I like: "The person who'll run with the ball is the person who catches it." And mixing up...

    That's different. I leave the door open for people I've spoken to. In this case it sounds like those businesses left the door open for Walter.
