    Cool, reach out if you have any questions. FYI - The email list is the most valuable part of this strategy because that's the one you actually control.

    From 0 To $240,000 Per Year PROFIT In 18 Months (Acquisition Entrepreneurship)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    This is a really bad idea. Likes are a vanity metric and the FB page organic reach is only going to go lower. FB Groups have much better reach, and you will have to hire someone to keep them engaged but it'll be worth it. What you can do is run FB ads to a lead magnet where they enter their...

    Agree with @eliquid, sell the books and get the kindle versions. All except for any quick reference ones like Cashvertising @Tedd If you're in HCMC, you can use this as a guide. Hochlist.com by hochlist D1, and D3 are center. If you live further out, you'll find some cheaper apts to extend...

    Go on upwork and ask for samples, then vet and audition those that hit your criteria. This middleman excuse is a bad one. Deal with cost cutting later

    Hey congrats on the first sale! That said, you've gotta create a stronger blurb. And get reviews on your book (you can gift them to get them rolling). Without those factors to increase conversions (sales) your marketing won't be as effective. After that, price to 99c blast with promos...

    Thanks for keeping this going! If I wasn't traveling, I'd be there in a heartbeat! Anyone who's been thinking that they need to surround themselves with more like minded people who understand them and the Fastlane pursuit, now's your chance. It's on a weekend so no excuses! Sent from my...

    My advice is geared toward fiction and a series book strategy where you can price the first book for free or 99c (at 35% royalty) and make your money on the back end. KDP enrollment is advantageous also for fiction since it'll boost your visibility with each borrow and feels frictionless for...

    You can offer a free book, short, bonus scene, alt ending, etc in your front matter. Direct them to your site and have them enter their email to receive it. You can ask fam and friends. I ask a portion of my existing email list. There are services but I haven't used any. Sent from my...

    Assuming your book doesn't have any visibility because it's in a tough category: Your 1st book should stay at 99c, be enrolled in KDP select and boosted with ads occasionally when there's slippage. Then ensure you have a proper lead capture in place to build your email list. You'll be making...

    Hey @Omega, I respect your hustle. If you want to take this to the next level I'd recommend moving to a more scalable distribution like amazon or ebay and more scalable source of products like a manufacturer or even retail arbitrage to get your feet wet. Right now, you're using a lot of time...

    Hey guys, see you later today! We'll be at the Hudson Eats Food Court inside Brookfield place. When you go up the escalator to the 2nd floor for Hudson Eats, keep walking straight down, all the way until you hit the booths next to the windows. We'll grab a seat there!

    Awesome man! Sounds like you're making progress all around. I'd narrow the 2 fastlane projects you have down to 1 as soon as you have data on their traction and focus. That's when you'll see even more results. Let us know if we can help in any way or if you decide to stop by the city again...
