    AMA - $500k+/mo Dropshipper With Rebills

    EXECUTION 
    Cmon man - you made an AMA - an Ask Me Anything The guy asks a question and then you dodge it then immediately accuse others (you guys all) of some type of inferior thought process I don't think it was an inappropriate question in the slightest. We're talking about a business here. Margins are...

    I need to leave the womb.

    PEOPLE 
    5 years later. Thanks for all the replies to the thread. Still with my girlfriend and now doing multiple million in revenue I've learned that most of my issues, roadblocks etc are my own and it is usually not productive to try to place the blame on external factors - unless the logic is...

    A lot of money sitting in the bank...

    So the past 2-3 years I've been very fortunate and I've grown my bank account quite a bit. But it bugs me to leave such large sums of cash in the bank, slowly deteriorating in value over the days. Plus - I don't trust the banks and I know I don't really have any money - I just have a number in...

    New Member Introduction - Anyone in the NYC Area?

    INTRO 
    Frankly not interested in meeting up at the moment. Too busy, kind of a hermit - but just dropping in because I'm in north NJ now too. I'm sure there's plenty of people on this forum from all over. What do you do for your day job?

    Local Lead Gen - Simplified

    MARKETING 
    Haven't been on here for a while because I've been trying to make this lead gen stuff work. Just came back to this video for the 5th or 6th time. This video is a masterpiece when it comes to Search Ads for local service businesses. I've been doing it for about a year now and everything here...

    Starting Local Lead Gen Business

    EXECUTION 
    Not too interested in going through Google's policy right now, but a huge benefit of the "lead gen site" model is putting your own credit card on the account. Once you scale, you might be spending 5 or 6 figures per month on ads... with a 2-3% cashback card or a card with good flyer miles...

    Starting Local Lead Gen Business

    EXECUTION 
    The argument against the pay-per-lead model was that you'd end up arguing over what's a lead and what isn't. Of course, you can set clear definitions when you go into agreement with your clients - but it might be hard to make them feel comfortable with the inherent risk that not every lead is...

    Deliver Value Upfront

    I used to do things like that but I would get a low response/interest rate Maybe I was doing it wrong I find that making a nice lil video or a mockup and sending them a message/email with a screenshot that has their branding works great This is for basic web services (web design, web...

    Deliver Value Upfront

    This might be obvious for a lot of the members here, but it's one that took me a while to truly understand and internalize. If you are doing outbound/reach marketing, you HAVE to deliver value upfront. Unless your offer/value proposition is absolutely insane, there is no other way. You must...

    A week of work down the drain...

    SIDE HUSTLE RANT 
    This thread derailed quickly My thoughts 1) So you "lost" a week of time. Big deal - be prepared to have let-downs far beyond your wildest imagination. The more you prospect, the more you'll realize that people's wishy-washyness is the default. You have to work real hard to refine your...
