    Question for those of you who have published an eBook using Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP): Did you have trouble keeping any type of formatting?

    MARKETING 
    Not sure if this is posted in the appropriate place -- feel free to move. I'm looking for information about Amazon keywords. As I'm preparing to launch my first product (it's been a long road!), I see that Amazon provides space for 7 keywords or phrases. What I'm wondering is: If you use a...

    START!

    MINDSET 
    Thought my experience of this morning could add value to your entrepreneurial Fastlane endeavor. Things are busy for me right now. A lot going on. Woke up this morning tired with a headache. Went over all of my "reasons why" but still no motivation to get rolling for the day. By sheer will...

    Is this Copyright Infringement? (advice needed)

    In a book I'm getting ready to publish as a Kindle eBook on Amazon, I discuss 2 YouTube videos. To clarify, I specifically send the reader to search for the video on YouTube, and then I discuss specific details about the video. I've searched on Google, and all I'm finding is "how to create a...

    Facebook Ad Performance: What's Your Opinion?

    MARKETING 
    Recently, I ran a Facebook ad just to try it out. Since this is my first time running a Facebook ad, I'm curious if my experience is "typical." I did this as a test. I don't have a product I'm selling with this ad. I simply wrote a blog post and advertised the post, and the ad sends people to...

    Rate My Book Cover

    HOT! 
    First, THANK YOU for your time. I posted here several weeks ago with an awful, terrible book cover (see attachment below, or, see complete thread if interested: Book Cover-- What do you think of it?). Thankfully, everyone set me straight, and I now have a much better design (see...

    Lacking Venture Capital? Don't Know What to Do? This will help

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I used to think that entrepreneurs starting out with lots of funding had an advantage over those starting from broke. I no longer see it that way. Came across a great resource. If you're pounding your head against the wall because you think a lack of finances is holding you back in your...

    Do You See $$$, or Do You See Needs? (thanks Andy Black)

    As a result of being on this forum, my attitude is changing for the better. I had an experience yesterday where I had had 4 clients scheduled, all back to back (I'm a personal trainer), and a gentleman named Walter around the age of 70-75 came up to me and said something like, "Sorry to...

    You Need this Mindset to Succeed

    MINDSET 
    Fastlane entrepreneurship requires fortitude and tenacity. Once one problem is solved, another comes up. Fix an issue, immediately notice another issue. A client of mine operates a successful saw blade business. Today, he goes where he wants and does what he wants. He moved here from England...

    Do This When You Don't Feel like Executing Your Process (3 Motivational Methods)

    MINDSET 
    There are days when putting work in is the last thing I want to do. I assume we've all been there. I think this is especially prevalent during the desert of desertion phase. This is the phase MJ describes as the season when you're building a product/asset, but have little or no market feedback...

    2 Golf Jokes, & the Benefits of Failure

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I find jokes like these funny. I actually laughed OL when I read them. Also, I tend to draw up more creativity after a good giggle, which positively impacts my work. A few of my athletic performance clients are golfers...hopefully they don't see these :) Golfer: The doctor says I can't play...

    Sabotage: Don't let black & white thinking ruin your success

    MINDSET 
    I was doing some inner reflection, and noticed that I was feeling overwhelmed by the Fastlane journey. I hope my inner process can help beginners like me who are feeling similarly. My inner process went something like this: "Oh shit. I haven't even sold one product. How will I ever have...

    Book Cover-- What do you think of it?

    HOT! 
    I'm working on a tight budget, so I'm developing my own e-book covers instead of having a graphic designer make them. My goal is that athletes and parents of athletes alike will feel excitement when seeing the cover. I'm definitely willing to make big changes to the covers, as I'm more...

    Landing Pages to Gauge Market Interest

    So, I have a few variations of an idea, and I'd like to test each variation on avenues like Facebook ads and Google Adwords. What I'm wondering is, would a simple website builder be appropriate for a landing page? (not a full website). Weebly, for example. I'm prepared to invest in a web...

    Facebook Ad Discussion

    MARKETING 
    I've been spending some time scrolling through Facebook and looking at how the various ads are constructed. There are so many. I'm noticing my internal reactions as I look at the different ads, and I seem to be most drawn to the ones that begin with a clear, simple question that elicits an...

    What Does "Value Skew" Mean?

    As you understand it, what does the term "value skew" mean when applied to business and product/service production? As I search Google, what I'm finding are concepts related to data analytics. Based on this, I'm assuming the term refers to something in the lines of taking an existing system or...

    Online Information Tracking

    Hi Fastlaners, Does anyone have experience with online information tracking? For example, Weight Watchers allows members to login and enter the information of the food they ate that day. The WW site then saves that info. I'm looking for a starting point with creating a membership page that...
