    FEEDBACK WEB DESIGN 
    I'm not a web designer, but those sites look good enough to me. I'd focus on getting clients, and I'd look beyond Upwork. Can you go back to those clients and see if they want additional services so you're maybe getting paid monthly? Check out some of the web design threads in here. They're...

    Yeah, it's part of local lead gen. Personally, I prefer to piggy back of demonstrated cashflows. Businesses already spending money, or considering spending money, on Google Ads are businesses willing to pay, and monthly. What demonstrated cashflows can you piggy back off? Are businesses...

    I love simple. When I explain what I do to people they get it instantly. It's pretty handy to be able to get word-of-mouth referrals from *anybody* who knows what you do. Someone recently asked me why I don't do ads for eCommerce clients. Here's what I said: If I run ads for a company...

    You can also do this running Google Ads, to your own domain(s). Sure, you need someone to pay the ad spend or you need to pay it yourself. Local lead gen still rocks.

    It's not just that they're "Most Aware" . Often they Google with search terms such as "carpet cleaning scottsdale". Which I think means they're looking to get some carpets cleaned. In Scottsdale I believe. Oh, and they may be looking right now. I'm being facetious because I swear...

    This seems all wrong. She stopped looking down on people earning their way and providing valuable services because of their high income potential?

    That's like someone saying "I'm a really nice person." I've yet to hear a really nice person utter those words.

    "Your job in sales is to find out as soon as possible if the person in front of you sees the value in what you do, or just the cost. If it's just the cost then move on. Someone up the road will bite your hand off." (Blaise Brosnan) Every time I ignore those red flags I end up regretting it.

    More "courses" will have AI chat components, where the subject matter expert trains an AI to assist their students. They will be behind paywalls or optin walls to prevent them getting scraped. @Antifragile is doing this already for his internal teams. I also think people will give away less...

    When I say I use my IT skills, it just means I can knock up a spreadsheet and import it into Google Ads. Oh, and the awful interface doesn't faze me.

    We had sliding drawers fitted under the atairs a few years ago. I remember talking to the tradesman doing it. He was one of maybe five covering Ireland and there were dozens in the UK. The guy who set it up was an engineer. He figured out how to kit the vans out so they're all the same and how...
