    Growing a Youtube Channel as Part of My Personal Brand

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Hey Prodox, I shared some advice with Vic inside of his thread about how I built my YouTube channel from Zero. It's more labour intensive and doesn't give you the hockey stick style growth others have had on the forum. But it's a pretty simple marketing tip using Facebook to generate your...

    Do I Have a Chance? YouTube Niche struggle

    HOT! 
    Just to prove this still works I went and tried this myself again. (Sorry to hijack the thread) but please steal this idea. Here is a photo of my analytics: 1. Featured (1 hour + video) on a channel with 200k + subs 2. Posted (and went viralish) in 8 Facebook groups *Only one of these is...

    Do I Have a Chance? YouTube Niche struggle

    HOT! 
    Yeah I totally agree and don't use social media as a consumer. Actually my whole profile on Facebook is a push to my YouTube channel. Basically my cover and feature photo link directly to my YouTube sub link. Then when I first started I added people who I had conversations with inside groups...

    Do I Have a Chance? YouTube Niche struggle

    HOT! 
    When I first started I actually found audiences I wanted to serve and made videos specifically for them vs making videos then trying to find the audience. I know that's not what other people would say and it certainly isn't going to lead to the hockeystick growth some others on the forum have...

    @Valier this is simply amazing.. The jump you've made in editing skill in such a short time seems incredible. Well done. I wonder if you would be willing to share a little about the process you went through while learning the skills needed to succeed here? Specifically: Script Writing...

    Test my website/online biz valuation calculator

    What if you changed to the 6 point calculator on the front end and gave them a wide range.. (And explained in detail why it's a wide range). Then on the thank you page or in an email you could 'sell' the 30 point calc + a printed report made manually by a professional that has sold X number of...

    Hey Lighthouse, Thanks for the board! I use Trello but not in nearly as effective a way.. One question (I only skimmed the thread sorry if it's answered) how do you deal with reccuring tasks? Like if you have a checklist of small tasks you have to do that don't each deserve their own card...

    Thanks for taking the time to write out such a thoughtful reply! I think we're on exactly the same page so I'm unsure where the dissonance came from.. My entire point is to cutback on amounts of information.. And look at how it can apply into your life. Spending more time thinking than...

    Read and Retain Books Without Wanting to Poke Your Eyes Out - (Speed Reading + Mind Mapping Guide)

    First off I want to say thank you to @Dan_Cardone and @GoodluckChuck for inspiring me to write this thread. (Based on an original post I did in “Reading Habits, Suggestions?’ thread). Before I begin I also want to say that you might not be here because reading makes you want to poke your eyes...

    Really? Okay I will! What specifically do you think I could expand on?

    Reading Habits, suggestions?

    Generally I finish 1-3 books a week depending on the size.. But I don't read them cover to cover! What I do is speed reading a Mind Mapping. Here is the basic process that I find cuts back my reading time but makes it much more effective. (Each book takes 3-5 hours max but it's also training...

    Road to Early Retirement

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Maybe don't think so much about the 'method' (ads and etc) they are using but more about their 'offer' .. The offer is like 'the reason why' the business would want to sit down with them.. My opinion is that the method will change often but the offer (once you have a good one) will stay the...

    Road to Early Retirement

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Well.. They must have a pretty good offer to get a busy business owner to sit down with them. Does your friend have that offer? Do they rely only on referrals? Are they the only game in town? Basically HOW are they getting those customers to sit down with.. Seems silly to reinvent the wheel...

    I would also think about what your USP is in the business before putting out a tonne of content.. Probably not best just to make content and hope people buy from you not from amazon! Think about the things the other Salt Lamp Companies aren't talking about: - Quality of Construction -...

    What sales process is Company X doing? I would start w/ that if I could. Seems to work. Next I would say if you're just going local stop in at all these businesses and bring them coffee maybe some donuts and etc.. Ask them if they have 5 minutes to talk about their website while they eat...

    Right on! Now that I see it I would try and do it even if there isn't a grant.. Go to the local chamber or town and say I want to give away $10k in websites to struggling local businesses.. Pick some businesses that would never have paid you anyways (set some criteria so you don't just get...
