    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...

    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...

    Perfectionism is a plague, introducing Johnny Neverstart!

    NOTABLE! 
    I recently finished a landing page for a martial arts school that my cousin and I attend. I'm trying to get people to sign up for a free trial, and ultimately convert to paying, monthly members. I showed my cousin the page and he said that my plain white background was cheesy and looked very...

    Snail Mail Prospecting - The Pastel Envelope Method

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm copying this from another thread because I think it could help some people realize that there are OTHER ways besides cold emails... I read a bunch of threads saying how they're cold emailing and it's not working... :bored: Cold email has a super low conversion rate but it can work. But...

    Don't know how to start? Here's something you can do in 5-10 min

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I saw this in a video from @SEO Guy, so all credit goes to him. I'm not going to get into insane specifics or long-winded business models. I'm just going to give you instructions that you can follow in the next 5 minutes so you can get high off a drug called Value. Value is a very addicting...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm currently structuring an AdWords campaign for a pest control company, so I was doing some research and I stumbled across this video: I'm speechless. Comment from YouTube: This is definately the type of guy that walks away from an explosion and never looks back. When someone asked him...

    Udemy course for Instagram Marketing - A wise investment?

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    I've been searching for some up-to-date material on IG marketing but my finds have been pretty underwhelming, to say the least. Has anyone taken an IG marketing course on Udemy? I've never taken a course on Udemy period and generally shy away from opening my wallet for courses.

    I need to leave the womb.

    PEOPLE 
    Hi. First things first: thanks to MJ and everyone else that have put their blood, sweat, and tears into this forum. I love this place and will read FLF until some of us are so old that there are posts about diaper recommendations. Now, to the issue at hand: I am with a great girl. Been with...

    INTRO 
    Hi all. I'll keep it short and simple: I am a 26 year old soul from New Jersey. I've always been the "smart but lazy" type. My most entrepreneurial venture would be my music studio. I rented out a space in a warehouse, furnished it in a unique way, built a vocal recording booth, and started...
