    Progress Thread - First Online Service

    EXECUTION 
    That's a great point. First step is first, get the sign up page created to direct traffic. I did plan on posting on those facebook groups / forums I found during research to get the word out. Ill give this topic some more thought at work today. I know there is more "low hanging fruit".

    Progress Thread - First Online Service

    EXECUTION 
    Apologies, but I am unsure what you mean by this. Can you clarify what you mean? No and of course that is a big mistake on my end. I am going to have the marketing (sign up) page created and live by the end of the week to collect leads. I went to squarespace and wix.com to look for some...

    Progress Thread - First Online Service

    EXECUTION 
    Without giving away too much, its a matching service that allow's people with bulk of the same "item" to exchange with each other to add variety. There are already facebook groups, etc. servicing the need, but no website / app.

    EXECUTION 
    Quick update. Just re-read The biggest landing page mistake and was reminded of @Andy Black's advice of stop building stuff. I will have my landing page up by the end of the week (Friday). Will have the SEO set up by end of night Sunday.

    Online Business Ideas For Newbies

    IDEA 
    Welcome to the forum! I am far from a main player in this forum, but I find that most of the regulars around here will respond if you do some basic research into SEO and then hit the forum with your specific questions. Keep in mind most of the people you want feedback from have already reached...

    Can you guys critique or give me feedback on my homepage please?

    It's a good bootstrap landing page. I would center the forms in the middle of the page to draw the eye of the user. I would also enhance my call to actions. Not "You will learn more about yourself", instead: "Crush personal boundaries and expand yourself unlike before...". Something like...

    My most promising and fastlane friendly idea seems impossible to implement

    IDEA 
    API calls are no problem. Use this resource to help form all of your calls: Postman Then research how to use a easy language (I recommend C# / asp.net and Visual Studio for the IDE) to write your website / calls. Sure learning it will take some work, but there are tons of free videos and...

    From comfortable job to comfortable freedom

    EXECUTION 
    Hi QStyle, Thanks for sharing your process. If you were interested in getting a 'shop' launched, I highly recommend checking out wix.com (was squarespace.com). They have tons of shop templates that integrate with Pay Pal. Very cheap monthly rate to host as well. This may save you some time...

    $500,000+ revenue on Shopify!

    NOTABLE! 
    Thank you for your time and knowledge with this thread. I was wondering if you were concerned with the fact that your business is dependent on Shopify (or other similar e commerce sites), and if you had thought about moving your products to your own site? I could see why this would be negative...

    Automated: A guide to AWS and the possibilities of scalability (Code and Software Architecture)

    I have been thinking of creating a "how-to" video discussing all of these ideas. I have been playing with the idea of selling the content at a later date, but if those who have commented on this above would be interested, I would let you guys be my first review. Let me know your thoughts.

    My Journey To Freedom

    EXECUTION 
    For most website designs for customers, you can use squarespace.com, or wix.com. Both are low cost and easy to set up. They will also free up your time because they are easy for customers to navigate and edit small things without your interaction. Those services also allow you to add custom...

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Very small amount of input here, but try a language like c# or something like that. Python is a little dated, and not many other developers know it. If you want to think about allowing others to modify your code, learn the popular languages. Also, love this thread, keep it up man!

    Automated: A guide to AWS and the possibilities of scalability (Code and Software Architecture)

    AWS can get expensive, but they have tons of scalability tools to help you only pay what you need too, as well as alerts if you reach a certain budget in a set amount of time. We host a few dev environments at my work @ rackspace. I cannot give it a fair review as I do not go nearly in depth...

    Automated: A guide to AWS and the possibilities of scalability (Code and Software Architecture)

    Sorry for not having the update lately guys. Was out of the country and have been reading and studying in my free time. IMO I am struggling shifting my mindset from consumer to producer and have devoted all of my energy to it. I will expand this out and provide more in depth as I plan on...

    Hello FastlaneForum

    INTRO 
    In the spirit of doing and not discussing, I plan on making this short and sweet. I awoke today with a business model in mind. I had been planning it all out in my head how I will start, acquire customers, etc. During one of my work breaks, a fellow employee approached me and had asked if I...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Did the audiobook ever come out? I was looking on Amazon to purchase the audiobook and was unable to locate. I do not mind reading the paperback version, but I usually leverage my drive in to work by listening to audiobooks. Thanks in advance!
