    Cold Emailing experts- how can I send 500-750 cold emails per day, starting right now?

    MARKETING 
    You're right, a new sender is simply much more likely to be marked as spam without warmup. And if you use something like free Mailgun with shared IP - even more chances to land in spam straight away. Not suggesting them to send 2k per day, but 500-750 is achievable (I guess they'll need the...

    Cold Emailing experts- how can I send 500-750 cold emails per day, starting right now?

    MARKETING 
    Not sure if it has already been suggested, but I'd just buy a domain that is not new, has sent email and you have the means of knowing they didn't sent a shitload of spam previously (a business in liquidation maybe?). There's no good way to skip the warm-up phase as the default standing of a...

    MorningRod - What do you think about my invention?

    HOT! 
    I guess there should be demand for this just as there is demand for the wake-up lights that fade in gradually. Your market size is a bit skewed to the places/seasons where it's light outside when you wake up. The name made me smile though.

    If you could only pass on one life lesson to everyone on this forum, what would it be?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    It's not about you, it's about them. We all want something in life, but to get it, the focus should not be on what we want. The focus should be on solving the problems others have.

    Can We Talk Tools for the "Maker Market"?

    HOT! 
    Prusa mk3 might be the sweet spot in regards of price and reliability right now. Goes in both kit and assembled form. As for the software, Prusa has their edition of Slic3r for model preparation so starting with that will have the least amount of friction I guess. As for modelling I'd recommend...

    Can We Talk Tools for the "Maker Market"?

    HOT! 
    There are those rotating exercise pads which I'm sure could be used for a low tech wrapping application. That is - still requires 1 to 2 people depending on the item's size, but involves significantly less lifting. The film feed and lifting could be automated with a threaded rod. That said -...

    Can We Talk Tools for the "Maker Market"?

    HOT! 
    Many of the nicer looking machines like the Cricut range, Glowforge some other displayed here are at a toy level even for makers. They are mainly meant to inspire you, get that gleam in the eyes and the dreams of making all the things. The reality is that they often lack in key areas like...

    How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    @Fox thank you! I liked the part about getting clients. You put it in a simple way that pinpoints the essence of supplying value at the right time. That's exactly what a business needs. Anytime. When do you think a business is most interested in copywriting services? Is that something I...

    How I Generated $21K In Profit In 1 Month For a Client Using Facebook Ads

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for sharing your smarts in this thread, gave me an idea or two of where I was wrong! Having previously had reasonable success with lead generation ads and alike, the FB ads for ecommerce still bug me. I fail and fail hard at them, but likely due to the fact, that I expected conversion at...

    This is what 60 Pounds (27 KGS) Looks Like

    GOLD! 
    Good luck! It's going to be worth it! A few years back I understood that with teen years passing and reduced physical activity my way of eating became unsustainable. It was showing on me already. Initially I decided to and successfully lost around 10 kilos (20ish pounds, around 10% of my...

    Stories of people spontaneously quitting job without a plan and working out perfectly?

    MINDSET 
    As someone who has worked with prototyping and launching physical products I have a certain level of disagreement with what you told. My experience is that (while unlikely) it's entirely possible to sell a $500 consumer hardware product to a fresh person that just opted in via Facebook ad and...

    Ramit Sethi - "I TEACH YOU TO BE RICH" - how legitimate?

    BOOKS 
    I'm not sure about the book, but Ramit has some stellar content on his blog in regard of sales pages, funnels and all that stuff. It's well structured and nails down the basics. Especially if you have some background. Of course, remember that probably the main content is the content he sends...

    Facebook advertising. How to get more business coming your way

    MARKETING 
    Absolutely, depends on what you're testing at which point. That said, quality testing requires testing 1 variable at a time, so in your example that means inability to optimize for conversions on Facebook's end and testing the ad+audience for CTR or similar non-site actions and then the site's...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished it last week. Picked it up straight after the Millionaire Fastlane and I must say I liked the former better than Unscripted. Might be due to the fact that it's not exactly what I needed right now as it sometimes is with books. I still feel it's a worthy read if even for the fact...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read it a month or so ago. It was first recommended to me around a year ago by a guy who's clearly unscripted. That title of the book made me read many others during that year, but not the Millionaire Fastlane though. Then I discovered this forum and figured that this isn't some get rich quick...

    Facebook advertising. How to get more business coming your way

    MARKETING 
    You should add that it's a good thing to use the same ad (as in not only the same creative, but the same post with the same ID) for audience tests. This way the winner ads have a chance of some social proof and engagement that may help how you're perceived.

    3D Printing as a business...does it make CENTS?

    Is the durability because of the layer by layer production process? Can this be countered with an after-printing annealing process?

    3D Printing as a business...does it make CENTS?

    HOT! 
    Metallic filaments are nice and all that, but have a low entry barrier and the prints will still look like prints, even after getting some shine in the tumbler. Rarely anyone is electroplating prints. I personally remember only a single instance where a person introduced the process and the...

    3D Printing as a business...does it make CENTS?

    HOT! 
    Late to the party, but might still be useful. I have a printer at home, have previously worked in a makerspace as an employee and then used several others in various places. The consumer grade machines are exactly that - consumer grade. Quality wise - there isn't a big difference (if any)...
