    A journey to quitting my job

    EXECUTION 
    I figured that may happen, but I did try to place emphasis on the benefits they would get from choosing me. It's hard to do that without using the word I.

    A journey to quitting my job

    EXECUTION 
    Ok @SinisterLex I've started taking a bit of action with some copywriting applications on Upwork yesterday, but haven't received any replies yet. Here is a copy and paste of my most recent app, I'd appreciate it if you could pick it apart and tell me where I might be going wrong: Hi, I am a...

    A journey to quitting my job

    EXECUTION 
    I'm inbound customer services but hate it so doubt I would be any more satisfied doing it for myself. I'd rather put my other skills to use.

    A journey to quitting my job

    EXECUTION 
    I have looked, applied for and interviewed for other jobs but not managed to get any of them. It's difficult because a lot of the jobs that come up are the same sort of thing I'm doing at the moment (call centre jobs) which pay less, so I'm kind of stuck. I'm strongly leaning towards the idea...

    Afraid to lose money? Or afraid to start making it?

    MINDSET 
    I bought your course a couple of weeks ago and have not tried it because I didn't realise I would have to spend money on Veeroll etc. in order to use it. I spent £25,705 in the last couple of years without much revenue, leading to a big debt which I'm still repaying so I feel that I must...

    A journey to quitting my job

    EXECUTION 
    Interesting post. I can see what you mean with what you're saying about the type 6/7 personality, but I feel that a lot of these descriptions are "truisms" that apply to everyone, eg. most people would see themselves as loyal and fearful in some situations. These personality types also...

    A journey to quitting my job

    EXECUTION 
    Ok so a little background to add context to this thread. I started trying to run my own business a little over 2 years ago now. It hasn't really gone very well, and I've been in some very dark places mentally over the past couple of years which probably hasn't helped things as it's often...

    Lex DeVille's: How to Make $1,000 a Week with no Degree, no Feedback, & no Portfolio.

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Is it possible to do this with very little direct experience in copywriting? I've read a few copywriting books (including cashvertising) and also have 2 years experience in online marketing (failing to make money, although that won't be mentioned) and a degree in a semi-related field. If I take...

    Advice needed on my business

    MINDSET RANT 
    OK I actually found a supplier on alibaba selling something very similar to the one company I've seen who offers this type of solution. Not sure how I feel about this. If I was going to sell this on amazon and an ecommerce store I think I would need to check that there are no patents that I...

    Advice needed on my business

    MINDSET RANT 
    I have an idea for a product which seems to be in demand. It is a more sturdy version of an already existing products, but due to the nature of the way these products are designed, I believe it would require a complete redesign to make it more sturdy. How can I come up with a design when I have...

    OK so another update to this thread. Hope you guys don't mind me bumping this self-pitying nonsense. I feel a lot better about myself than I evidently did when I first started this thread. I've all but stopped wasting my money on this lead generation stuff (save a couple of the sites that are...

    SEO - Where to start?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Definitely not saying it's impossible, I just don't think it's as easy as Becker will have you believe. What is your main client acquisition process like if you don't mind me asking. I can only speak from personal experience but I spent some time running Facebook ads, did some direct mail and...

    SEO - Where to start?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've known Becker from a distance for a number of years now and followed him from being very much a nobody to one of the most well known people in SEO. Ironically, the only reason I read Millionaire Faslane was because Becker was constantly recommending it everywhere. Be careful assuming that...

    For my first idea I'm not sure it's the sort of thing people would buy straight away without at least a little bit of social proof from a successful blog.

    I've been doing a lot of research and thinking over the past few weeks about about what has been said in this thread and trying to take on a different approach to things. I've actually cancelled a lot of my financial commitments for my previous business model, freeing up capital to pay off my...

    You're right, I am chasing low barrier to entry fields which are competitive. But I'm just not sure where else to start. Marketing was all I wanted to do and I never had a plan B. How do you know which markets are the right ones and do market research?

    I've read it but not recently. Maybe I'll re-read it, but I've recently bought a few other books (lean startup, zero to one etc.) which I thought may help me out.

    Advice needed on my business

    MINDSET RANT 
    Yeah, reading a few of the other threads around here I can see that the lazy stick comes out quite often hah... It doesn't feel like a business, it feels like a way to make money by exploiting the fact that I can rank websites highly on google. It doesn't mean to say it's not a good way to make...

    I get your sentiment, I really do. But selling the leads from these sites is really not an issue at all. I can close a deal (and have closed deals) on my first cold call of the day, because businesses are not going to turn down potential customers. At the same time, I do get your sentiment, and...
