    MARKETING 
    Try flyers for a local service. I don't know what they cost where you live but they can't be much for 1000 or even 5000 and you can get them delivered exacty where you want them delivered. Look up Direct Response flyer examples to get an idea on key elements. Dan

    The Broke Accountant

    HOT! INTRO 
    Whether older accountants in your country like automation or not is irrelevant really. It's here. Younger business owners will be using automation tools and expect their accountants to be using them as well. If you can automate as much as your mothers business as possible and then work with...

    MJ should I go university?

    INTRO 
    I imagine he will link to a thread called The Forum can't decide for you. Or something like that. Which is true. Having said that, a couple of things. University fees are approx £9500k a year. The living costs are a Red Herring. You have them anyway. Food, clothes, Wi-Fi, socialising, Hobbies...

    Sweet, Sweet Victory! - New Web Design & SEO Services Client.

    SIDE HUSTLE

    Sweet, Sweet Victory! - New Web Design & SEO Services Client.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    When you say all leads were duds do you include this? I wouldn't categorize these as duds. It's effectively 2 jobs and if the dad had zero interest he wouldn't have brought up wanting to get his son a website. So the conversation must have been of reasonable length. Dan

    Here is one golden rule of sales...

    MARKETING 
    Yes. 2 ears and 1 mouth is commonly mentioned for a reason. So now you have realised that, try and think at the end of each day what better questions you can ask to get better answers. If I were selling webistes I would more than likely have a question such as 'You know the people who visit...

    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    GOLD! WEB DESIGN 
    They don't need their money back. They are making a risk assessment whilst talking to you. More of a gut level assessment at what you would be charging. So if they say 'Let's go for it', they are essentially prepared to take the risk. No different from if you go on holiday, look at a few...

    AITA for this sleazy deal?

    Well it's not a bribe as you had agreed the other work beforehand. You didn't even know that she would be asking you to complete work for her. If it had been the other way that would be very different. You also gave her a valid reason as to why you can charge her less than usual as you will...

    10/10 for helping your father modernise the way he does things. Any reason for the above comment though? It's usually indicative of something other than simply marketing (as done on a local scale) I'm using this as an exaggerated example, not literally. Your father has developed cataracts...

    How to work for 14+ hours a day? Calling the ones who do.

    MINDSET 
    Working 14 hours isn't a goal. It may become a by product of what you need to do to get to xyz but it isn't the goal. Dan

    Does AI Search Really Bring More Conversions?

    MARKETING 
    I can imagine this to be true due to an increase in both usage of AI and the belief that the AI is a 'friend' Therefore the search is seen more as a referral than a search. I first heard this concept a couple of years ago. Not being an Ad/Search specialist whatever they wish to call...

    Have you ever lied for a sale?

    QUESTION 
    Depends on whether you mean an out and out lie or a slight fudging of the truth. eg Bill Gates did not exactly lie to IBM, but what he did served both parties interest at the time because the person Gates actually recommended for IBMs operating system was such a perfectionist IBM got fed up as...

    Richard Branson was on holiday in the Virgin Islands. Due to low passenger numbers his flight back to the US was cancelled. The passengers who had turned up were understandably angry. What did Branson do? Chartered a smaller plane then and there and sell all the seats to the disgruntled...

    Have you ever lied for a sale?

    QUESTION 
    If you were to move to a company like Infosys or Wipro after a couple of years if you do well, you could move internationally to places like the UK where they have offices. Dan

    36yo career change - Collected my Slow-lane redundancy package, looking to move onwards (Australia, Melbourne).

    INTRO 
    I was wondering why you were made redundant? Can Engineering drawings be churned out by AI with the correct prompts nowadays? Was that a factor? And if so, you could have an opportunity for mid sized companies using the fact that right now you do this for a Blue Chip. You have instant...
