    Scaling a handyman service business

    PEOPLE SCALING EXECUTION 
    Yes. I think that domain name is confusing and/or alienating for those who aren't looking to make their property ready for sale or rent. It's super easy to buy a domain, add a dynamic landing page, and test if a new domain increases the Google Ads CTR. I find location specific domains work...

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Hey Tom, maybe just read the last page on here. The LinkedIn algorithm changed quite a bit a few months ago and it threw me for a loop! I've still not quite figured it out but I think I'm getting there.

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I've not posted an update in a while. 1) I deleted that post with nearly 200k impressions. It was just annoying arguing with small minded Google Ads folks. 2) Here's my avatar, banner, and current headline. I'm sending connection requests to brick-and-mortar business owners (pest...

    INTRO 
    I was in your Skool for a bit but didn't feel I had any value to add so removed myself so as to not clutter up the place. Now I think about it, I might have some tips about CVs, the interview process, and LinkedIn. View: https://youtu.be/vaUI-rvgFh0?is=RWEiFbJb4-7OQXCk View...

    Intro

    INTRO 
    Welcome. I've not helped any recruiters specifically, but can say there are loads of people searching for "XYZ jobs in ABC-Location" on Google. Maybe an angle to consider.

    I’ve watched 4 online entrepreneurship communities die in the last 2 years. Here is my breakdown of why it’s happening.

    MEETUPS 
    I love all the comments, including finding local communities, which I hadn't really thought about. I'm here because I enjoy helping people and as others have said, it gives me clarity myself. I think more importantly though, it reminds me who I'm helping. Whenever I get a bit stuck or lost...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Ok, cool. Signups and a prospect already is good. Sometimes we hear people say they're going to build a Facebook/Twitter/Discord/Yelp/etc, when they'd do better having a goal of "connecting homeowners with plumbers" or whatever. Sounds like you're not in your batcave hiding from your...

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Comments like this worry me. Why build an alternative to LinkedIn? Is there an easier way to add value and get paid?

    The right after that right-hander at the bottom of the hill, and then the s-bend after, reminds me a lot of Mondello Park. I've been up there on a motorbike a couple of times. I'm not used to using brakes on bikes though... on the road it's all about being smooth and engine braking up to...

    Building knowledge tool for trades with AI

    - AI - 
    I'm genuinely curious if using a product like chatbase.co will do 80% of what you're thinking of without you having to code, so you can focus on the business side of it, the processes, and the data.

    Building knowledge tool for trades with AI

    - AI - 
    I uploaded the opening posts of nearly 400 of my forum threads, and transcriptions from 170+ of my YouTube videos and podcasts to NotebookLM and made it available over Christmas. About 40 people tried it and I had quite good feedback from quite a lot of them, saying how they use it...
