    So WTF are NFTs all about? Buying JPGs? Why can't you just right-click save? Is this a giant ponzi? Far from it...

    CloudFlare is listed as Net on NYSE. But I wouldn’t buy it as a way into NFTs. This is a really good video explaining NFTs from an economics perspective. View: https://youtu.be/UpXCUEOcyNs

    Hmm so NFTs as a way to monetise escapism? I do agree that escapism and distraction is going to be in demand. I’m still scratching my head on how to put money in this NFT trend. Like if I want to put money on property, I’ll just buy property. Same with stocks, crypto, buying a business. The best...

    How does one invest or participate in this NFT market? I mean with BTC, I could go to an exchange and get a coin. Is NFT akin to purchasing art pieces then? You have to have the right “eye” as each NFT is different from the next one?

    I would target consumers that have oldish parents and high paying jobs. They don’t have the time. But wish they could help their parents

    Calling all CLOSERS. Need sales advice!

    HOT! 
    Ok. I’ll also take a crack at this. This is your first meeting. The goal should be the ferret out their pains. If they are looking at your product, they want it to solve something. No one wakes up in the morning and says “I think I need a website”. They want it to attract more customers. Why do...

    Progress Thread - Cloud Niche

    EXECUTION 
    Ok you weren't very clear on what you’ve tried. I’m assuming you guys are in the services business. But let me give this a shot. I'm in B2B sales in my slowlane job. I would start with target personas. B2B sales center around champions and decision makers. What does your ideal persona look...

    Have you encouraged him at creating his own support network? There are lots of resources like Facebook Groups, forums etc online. Community services and hospitals offline. I don't know what disability he has. If he is determined to be on the FastLane, why not look at creating something that...

    Owning a portfolio of websites (flippa/empireflippers/etc)

    I've been subscribed to Empire Flippers for a while. They certainly seem to know what they are doing. I would pick up skills as you need them. Just in time knowledge instead of just in case knowledhe. End of the day, online business is like any business. There's top line and bottom line...

    Just overheard an entire Kiyoski based MLM pitch. Wow, that was painful.

    I noticed a disturbing trend from a couple of years ago. It's MLM as affiliate marketing. They use the tried and tested FB ad -> landing page -> free workshop -> sales call strategy. From what I worked out, it's like this. Guru introduces affiliate marketing as a safe and easy way to make...

    Upwork Flipping... Ethical?

    I see nothing wrong in it. End of the day, is the client delighted? If he is, you added value. Do u know how hard it is to find quality freelancers on Fiverr? I did just this the other day. Got a client for 150 usd, paid someone on Fiverr 50 usd. Freelancer delivered late. And it was a really...

    How to get your first 4-figure client?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Just a store-front with a simple shopping card and payment integration. It isn't hard once you get the hang of it. No real-time stuff. They just wanted an admin page for inventory their staff were "comfortable" with. Manual key entry. But I also built api level integrations to different...

    How to get your first 4-figure client?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Disclaimer: my knowledge is from 3 years ago. I stopped the business due to slow-lane job and e-commerce business. And I’m not from the U.S. I'm also going to assume that you can pick up any technical skills you need. I know it seems incredulous to charge 10,000 for a website. Even 3 years ago...

    How to get your first 4-figure client?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Wow that’s a great website! Maybe share how you are getting your leads? I have charged 10,000 for websites that were not technically sophisticated. E-commerce front end with some additional pages. It all comes down to getting the right clients first. They must have the ability to pay. That...

    Investing in other businesses and your Way to FastLane Millions?

    HOT! 
    Understood. I understand some about evaluation through value investing books. The process is somewhat similar. But I can't help but feel this is pure bean counting. It doesn't take into account "potential" of the business. I guess the best way is to post a follow along thread when I start my...
