    'Deaths of despair' soaring among Gen Z & millennials: 'It's the economy, stupid'

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes continual changes; it is barbarous, it is civilized, it is christianized, it is rich, it is scientific; but this change is not amelioration. For every thing that is given, something is taken. ― Ralph...

    'Deaths of despair' soaring among Gen Z & millennials: 'It's the economy, stupid'

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Young people are isolated from nature, isolated from each other, and isolated from a deeper purpose. There are so many options open to us that it's easy to feel like we're floating through life, unrooted. Source: I'm Gen Z.

    I am both, so I should probably give this more thought—not that I don't put effort into my appearance; I just haven't thought of my look as my brand!

    @Primeperiwinkle Wow! I just finished reading the PDF you sent about the Fascination personalities. What an eye-opener! I think my primary type is Innovation/Rebellion and my secondary one is Passion (edit: or Power). I feel like a fog has lifted... I was trying to take a detached...

    This website is what I considered one of the earliest hubs of this niche. Well, at least the personal style niche. She has some color articles, but doesn't get into to DYT/Kibbe stuff. http://www.thechicfashionista.com/your-best-perfect-colors.html She had a bunch of her own articles, plus...

    So my issue right now is that I'm trying to meet two needs, and I'm not sure if I can meet both. I want to be an informational hub for this niche—possibly an aggregator—but I also want to be an authority. And I don't know how to accomplish both.

    I haven't quite clarified my goal. I see a few problems in the seasonal color/style type world: 1. The information is too confusing. 2. Women have a hard time finding their type because they're given a set of boxes that don't fit everyone. 3. It's hard to find information at all, because...

    DYT only has four "boxes," you know? You can only fit into one. You can have a secondary type, but you only get one palette and one set of guidelines depending on whether you're a Type 1, 2, 3, or 4. The goal of my graph is to free you from the boxes. Everybody has a little of bit of each type...

    Ok, I've hit a wall again. Working on my website. I've set up a feed that shows all the latest posts and videos from bloggers in my niche. So now my question is: where does my content come in? How can I be an aggregator and create original content?

    By the way @biophase ... I think I may adopt your routine. I've been spreading my work out too much and sleeping in too late. I can easily solve the sleep issue by going to bed around 9 or 10. And getting to work straightaway should be pretty easy, too. Do you keep your phone on in the morning...

    No offense, but I think you may have set yourself up for failure. You told them they didn't have to stay the whole time, so of course they didn't. You didn't tell them how you expected them to spend their time, so of course they did their regular business tasks. Just because they misunderstood...

    I have to ask: how clearly did you communicate your expectations? Did you have a daily schedule, with a set time for mastermind sessions? Did you make it clear that attending all 14 days was essential? It's possible that you didn't communicate as clearly as you think you did. I used to manage...

    Just to be clear, I'm not purely motivated by altruism. :) I genuinely think there is a market for budget-friendly social media marketing. I don't think I can compete with the "big guns" in digital marketing. I have some very basic skills. I was reading @ChickenHawk 's self-publishing thread...

    @Bekit Uh-oh... What makes us great freelancers — willingness to compromise, genuine concern for our clients, and empathy for our market… also can be detrimental to negotiating prices. ...Guilty. You're not saying to charge hourly, though, right? This is where I'm stuck. I don't know how...

    THANK YOU!!!! :D That's part of the reason, but not the whole reason. I want my services to be accessible to someone who only has an extra $50-$100 in her/his monthly budget. Maybe people can afford more than I think they can. The client I'm currently working with is a schoolteacher and...

    The "hustle" approach is impractical for me because I have a chronic illness. Not that I'm opposed to working hard, but I don't know how much I can work without burning myself out.

    I edit books for self-published authors, so I'm connected with a lot of one-man bands. That is a very good point. :) Well, that's why I hesitate to charge more. I can't prove that any of my clients will get a good return, since I don't have any results yet.

    I posted on the forum earlier this year about a business idea. I'm still working on this idea, but it's been moved to the back burner since I've been getting more freelance work. Most of the work is book editing, which is what I've been doing for a few years. I also started writing blogs and...
