    My conversion rate sucks. Can I ask for advice?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    So a lot of what you mention (and a lot of what others mention) are somewhat qualitative (long copy, site design/UI, USP, etc.). But a few people have alluded to taking more of a quantitative approach. I agree with the latter. Dig into your analytics and identify where the dropoff is. Do you...

    8 Steps That Will Radically Change Your Life in 30 Days or Less, Guaranteed.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    MJ, I started doing this on Feb 20th when you first posted it. It's amazing what self-accountability can do for you. There were a couple days in the last few weeks when I didn't feel like doing what was on my "daily list," but just knowing that I'd have to sit down at the end of the day and not...

    8 Steps That Will Radically Change Your Life in 30 Days or Less, Guaranteed.

    I've been reading the book "The Slight Edge" and it covers this exact topic in depth. Well worth the read in my view. Has a lot of fast lane principles embedded in it. You definitely pointed out one of my biggest problems, which is jumping from one project to the next with no commitment...

    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    GOLD! 
    The post is chock-full of some great actionable advice, so thank you. Truly. Based on said actionable advice, I started researching genres. You were right when you said it's a pain in the a$$, but definitely worth the insight once you have all the numbers in front of you. I'm going to PM you...

    Validating ideas to build an online business

    IDEA 
    I got this actionable advice from AppSumo's Business Blueprint course (google it, I didn't want to be confused for spam). If you're a newbie and/or a "wantrepreneur" like me (guilty on all accounts) and if you can't decide on a business idea or you think you don't have enough money to get...

    Creating value in the "new economy"

    I've been thinking about this for a long time now, and MJ's most recent video blog today really put my ideas on the spot (don't chase money, create value). How do we create value in the "new economy" that we face? Where do the opportunities lie? You see, I read a lot about tech startups...

    Web business startup idea... How much $?

    IDEA 
    Bare minimum, you need a solid understanding of a scripting language (PHP, JS, Ruby, Python...etc). I would also suggest you go back and reread the TMF section on entry and barriers to markets. Not trying to be an a$$, but you say you don't much time to work on this? Just want to get something...

    My sister is a single mom and has been on food stamps for years while raising her kid. She recently got her bachelor's degree but can't find a job other than fast food. She called me a few weeks ago in tears, not knowing what to do. I gave her tough love and I lent my copy of The Millionaire...

    Ha! No no! You can use their "cloud reader" which just displays it in a browser, or you can download the kindle app for free to your PC or Mac. There. No excuses! :)

    Free kindle version of social media marketing book

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Got this link in my inbox today for a free kindle book from amazon on marketing on social media. Not sure if it's worth anything, but it's only 80 pages. Thought I'd share it here. Amazon.com: Zarrella's Hierarchy of Contagiousness: The Science, Design, and Engineering of Contagious Ideas...

    Save The Children East Africa Food Crisis Campaign

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Would really appreciate a few dollars for my fundraising campaign for the East African Food crisis. East Africa is experiencing a severe drought that is making their already-unmanageable problems even worth. I got a real soft spot for kids in poor and developing countries... Even $5...

    Bubble Startups vs. Recession Startups

    I read an article (can't remember which one, I'll try to find it) that talked a lot about how now is probably one of the BEST times to start a business. The logic: if you can make it now in a crappy economy, you can make it anytime. I guess only the truly valuable products/services will be...
