Self-Doubt? This Is Your Competition
MINDSETDuolingo is okay as a base but if you do only Duolingo, that's still dabbling. I highly recommend private classes. For Spanish, you can easily find a tutor even from Spain for 10-15 euros per hour. A few classes a week, plus studying vocabulary with Anki and supplementing with Duolingo, and...- MTF

HOT! CHATThat's just crazy. The funny thing is that if you were to take the real cost of manufacturing these "luxury" goods (not the made-up price to make them luxurious) then it would probably be 1% of the real value of agriculture.- MTF

Self-Doubt? This Is Your Competition
MINDSET@Lex DeVille are you still learning German? How's your progress? I'm still learning French, still as much as before. 131 days of an unbroken streak with Duolingo, Anki, and private online classes (up to 4x a week). On my good days I can talk in French for one hour without any problems. My...- MTF

HOT! CHATWith the right theme (like Kadence), it's as easy as drag and drop. And I never needed any server maintenance or anything like that. Granted, I've never had a site with more than maybe 100k visitors a month. Yeah in that case I can understand using something way simpler. Though I still don't...- MTF

Intro and AMA. Zero to $120k/mo and back down to $10k/mo with SEO.
INTROI appreciate the vulnerability. I empathize with this a lot as I have sort of a similar background in some ways. Long story short, I made most money from Amazon, with my self-publishing business. Other than that, I've never had any real business success when I had to build something myself. All...- MTF

How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model
GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHINGI used Quora heavily years ago, even had some posts reach over 1 million views... But inevitably, if you use it to drive traffic to your website, they'll remove your answers or ban your account. They don't like external links so it's too risky of a platform, at least for organic traffic. Quora...- MTF

HOT! CHATI don't see any real competition for WordPress. It's the only platform that you can fully control. Squarespace, Webflow, etc. trap you into their service and you're at their mercy.- MTF

Intro and AMA. Zero to $120k/mo and back down to $10k/mo with SEO.
INTROAwesome intro, thank you for sharing @buildpath. Maybe considering the above, it's a good time to sell it? It could fetch $200-300k assuming 20-30x multiples. Any chance to get a cheap VA to respond to new inquiries and free up your time? I'm confused here. You're making $10k a month from...- MTF

HOT! CHATDefinitely. Though still, that would make much more sense. Send a robot to fight fires, keep the firefighters safe(r). Unless the robot is only fine shooting fire but not being around fire lol.- MTF

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATThe first question that comes to my mind: why not have it shoot water instead of fire and be of use for firefighters? Maybe there's another video circulating somewhere where it's used for peaceful purposes instead of violence?- MTF

Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?
NOTABLE! MINDSETThese comparisons always crack me up. Even if it's not exactly that price, I know it's very close to reality. Of course there's a lot behind the scenes in Spain and it's not all roses, particularly for job opportunities. But when contrasted like that, which sane person would buy a shitty musty...- MTF

Google Is Killing Small Independent Sites (Commandment of Control)
MARKETINGThere were some threads with polls on the Fat Stacks forum with almost everyone reporting huge drops. I can't post it here but from what I remember the vast majority had huge drops in traffic. Most niche site gurus also reported huge drops, with many forced to stop relying on SEO whatsoever...- MTF

Google Is Killing Small Independent Sites (Commandment of Control)

What Is the Online Equivalent of a "Boring But Stable" Offline Business?
HOT!The problem with a consulting component is that it's hard to turn it into a business unless you go into corporate B2B with very qualified employees (and that comes with a very high barrier of entry and huge start-up costs). Out of all the commandments, IMO the commandment of entry is the least...- MTF

What Is the Online Equivalent of a "Boring But Stable" Offline Business?
HOT!That's an offline business, though and this thread is specifically about online businesses that are closer to offline businesses (because they're very niche, boring, not many people want to run them, etc.) than sexy online ones.- MTF

Started a useless product to see if I can actually turn any sales
IDEAWhy can't you try and get sales first for a product that actually does something for you? You don't have to spend weeks or months on development. It can be as easy as some kind of a VA task for a specific industry.- MTF
