    Figured a great community project would be for us to post some ads, funnels, etc that we found effective and/or impressive. Unfortunately I forgot to screeeshot one the other day that caught my attention on Facebook but it went like this: Headline: “I’ll get you FIVE extra clients within 30...

    Ravens Guide To Taking Action - A step by step process that is guaranteed to result in millions of dollars

    GOLD! SCALING EXECUTION 
    I’ve been doing the calendar X thing for a while. One thing I do is take the number of X’s at the end of the month and divide by the number of days in that month. That gives me a score. I then plot that in a graph and track the trend overtime. No real use except it keeps me motivated.

    Twitter organic strategy

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    So I managed to talk to a few guys who grew their accounts and what I learned was this: 1) You need to get to at least 2,000 real followers before you can rely on organic growth. 2) You either use paid ads, paid shoutouts from bigger accounts, or you promote your Twitter on other platforms...

    I mean I could create the perfect thread but I still have no followers so no one will see it. Twitter has no organic way for people to find you.

    Twitter organic strategy

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I had this problem on Instagram. I was able to grow my instagram but had a lot of trouble at first because I was providing really good valuable stuff. Even had some of the big names in the niche comment and tell me how high quality my information was and how they were impressed. Problem is, it...

    Twitter organic strategy

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    How exactly do people grow their twitter/x profiles without paid ads? I know Twitter has hashtags but I’ve never seen a single person use them. Everytime I look on google about growing Twitter I get told “lost good helpful content and your Twitter will grow!” I can post all the helpful...

    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    MINDSET 
    So my plan was to get a bunch of small sample packs made and head to the local flea market (at least 70% of flea market attendees are in my niche) to hand them out and talk with my actual customer base to get feedback and learn some things. Turns out this flea market does not allow “politics...

    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    MINDSET 
    Just going by what I know from the people who have already bought and from my competition in the same space, my niche isn’t out there trying to buy the cheapest coffee but they aren’t interested in high priced “luxury” coffee either. In fact, that would likely turn many of them off. That said...

    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    MINDSET 
    That’s another issue. The cause my coffee supports will immediately turn off about 30% of the public and the other 20% likely wouldn’t buy it even if they didn’t immediately hate what it stands for and supports. This could potentially limit which big box retailers would carry my brand. The...

    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    MINDSET 
    Right. I’m just keeping it simple for explanation sake. My marketing materials simply says “half of all profits….” It will be the bottom line net profits.

    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    MINDSET 
    I got nine orders today just from a simple Facebook post. Couple problems I have to solve to make this venture worth perusing: 1) The margins are crap. I’ve already looked into sourcing bulk ground coffee, coffee bags, and having labels printed up to go on the bags. My margins would increase...

    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    Im back! Got really sick and had some things happen. But anyways… So the coffee I would be selling to start are 12oz and 16oz bags of ground coffee. I have the deign and everyone I showed it to loves it. I found a white label coffee drop shipper that would give me around $3.50 per bag...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Because anyone can claim anything. Where is the video and where are the data scientist testing to see if it’s AI generated or fake in any way?

    AI is going nuts w/ online shop fakes - WTH is this? WHY??

    OFF-TOPIC 
    AI is going to be wild. Soon you will log onto Facebook and see an ad for something you were just thinking about buying. But what will be unique is the ad will have a woman, who you will find very attractive because the AI knows exactly what kind of women you look at the most on FB and IG, and...

    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    MINDSET 
    Guess I’m going off what I see with other coffee brands I’m familiar with. Both Black Rifle Coffee and Deathwish coffee stared as small little brands and grew over time into multimillion dollar businesses by steadily increasing how much coffee they sell a day. That makes sense.

    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    MINDSET 
    I have an idea for a coffee company that would target a very specific niche. The niche is sizable and has no shortage of money flowing through it. My problem is this: Let’s say I make $2.50 profit per bag of coffee sold. The actual profit may be more or less but let’s just use this number as...

    Update This business is finished! My business partner has zero desire to be apart of it any more. Know what’s funny? After the decision was made to move on from this business I went and tried to give this thing away because… why not? Posted it up in serval photographer groups on FB. Simply...

    Start a new business helping photographers scale their business!

    EXECUTION 
    UPDATE The guy I partnered with decided this is a waste of time and quit. I really dont like the idea of going back to being a dating coach. The way I got the leads was unethical and the whole thing doesn’t really align with my values anymore. But my savings is quickly dwindling down and this...

    Start a new business helping photographers scale their business!

    EXECUTION 
    I hear ya but there are quite a few companies out there selling high priced coaching offers via cold calling. Not everyone wants to document their life on social media. I was selling $2500 dating coaching packages without even having a website.
