    Generating Leads for IT Consulting. Outsource or no?

    MARKETING SCALING QUESTION 
    I can't remember exactly. The thing about contracts is they're only as good as your willingness to uphold them in court. I never had any issues. If a client really wants to leave, I don't have any interest in using legalese to try and keep them, anyway. Bad karma. Sometimes we were reselling...

    Generating Leads for IT Consulting. Outsource or no?

    MARKETING SCALING QUESTION 
    I agree with SEO, once we hit top of Google we started getting a good amount of calls. And it didn't even take much, maybe 20 or 30 Google Reviews and we were in the map box. I bit the bullet with a couple of those agencies, just my personal experience, it was a lot of money on ad spend with no...

    Generating Leads for IT Consulting. Outsource or no?

    MARKETING SCALING QUESTION 
    So many agencies like that are all smoke and mirrors. I owned an MSP so I've worked with a lot of them. They do 12 month contracts because they know it's low quality. Or else they'd do month-to-month with a money back guarantee. You're way better off cold calling for referral partners. Think of...

    Figuring Out Flywheels

    CHAT 
    I also think social media in general becomes a flywheel at a certain point. Where your momentum is so great that you could basically stop posting for a year and keep growing anyway.

    Figuring Out Flywheels

    CHAT 
    A content flywheel I love is when you get enough comments/messages that ask questions or suggest content. So you don't have to think of what content to make, anymore.

    GoHighLevel - Legit or Pyramid Scheme?

    Definitely pyramid scheme.

    Anyone with car dealership experience, what is something that would make a lead gen offer exceptionally different?

    Plant-based protein powders

    HEALTH 
    My friend Mark makes an animal-based protein powder (not whey) called Ancient Strength. It's the only protein powder I can double scoop on an empty stomach and feel no ill effects. We roadtripped a u-haul truck to Seattle on Monday to pick up a 1,000 unit order from his manufacturer. I'm not an...

    Who Is Smashing It On TikTok Right Now?

    MARKETING 
    Depends on niche and also changes week over week For example nobody expected longform to take off on TikTok. But it also probably isn't the move for all niches/demos. Just follow some accounts who are killing it in your niche and it'll be obvious what to do

    Who Is Smashing It On TikTok Right Now?

    MARKETING 
    Great storytelling and massive value work regardless of platform, but minor delivery nuances that are obvious if you spend any time on it consuming. On the paid side, there is a $1500 ad credit if you spend $1500 right now. I also have an acquaintance who's crushing it on TikTok longform...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I think I commented here before about how positive my move to Phoenix was. Well, I've just moved to a colder place again and I'm finding it to be positive as well. I joined a group of guys who jump in the lake every morning 630am. Last Thursday it was 18F outside when we got in. It's been...

    GOLD! SAAS / APPS 
    Gilman, great post. What do you think about no-code and low-code tools like Retool, Bubble, Superblocks, etc.? Either for MVP or actual production usage.

    How I got my 1st lambo for "free" (to me)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I LOVE THIS. I'm finally in the real estate game (our first "flip" is officially up for sale as of last week). I am amazed at the number of ways to do creative financing and clever leveraging. Thank you for sharing and beautiful car. Very inspiring.

    Create a shorts youtube channel

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    What's your goal? Is it just YouTube for the sake of YouTube? And how are you trying to make money? Adsense? Our channels are all personal brand focused to attract high ticket clients. So I'm not really thinking "hmm should the channel be about cabbage or peas.." it's about that entrepreneur...

    That's a silly generalization.

    Air.ai?

    SCALING SAAS / APPS 
    It smells very fishy. I had a call with them and they said they are looking for agencies to re-sell the service. I said that sounds interesting, and they replied "how much money do you have available to invest?" Lol. When I said I wasn't willing to spend $5,000 to get started with them, they...
