    A Specialized Skill or Rat Race Job Proxy?

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE MINDSET 
    Thanks. I'm now looking at Google Ads. I don't know much about it just yet, so I am learning about it. But they do have a lead form like Facebook Ads. But still I think that it just solves the symptom of the problem and not the root problem which is that all of my revenue for a vertical...

    Starting a Digital Marketing Agency

    EXECUTION 
    When you say that you tried to look for business owners that already pay for Google Ads what do you mean exactly? I was told that the "thing" doesn't necessarily matter as long as they advertised. I was offering Facebook Ads for flooring companies in the U.S. but a lot them seem to be only...

    A Specialized Skill or Rat Race Job Proxy?

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE MINDSET 
    I watched MJ Demarco's YouTube video about how to go from flat-broke to filthy rich. I've got the foundational job and I am learning a specialized skill, generating leads for businesses using Facebook Ads, qualifying them and live transferring via phone to the client . Facebook recently shut...

    No Coworking Space, Where To Find Like Minded People

    Thanks for the encouragement. I will head to cafes instead.

    No Coworking Space, Where To Find Like Minded People

    Ideally I would head to a coworking space with 24/7 access. The only one in the city, denied my request even though I spent money with them more than once by purchasing a day pass. They're the only coworking space in the city, so they have no direct competition. Feeling jaded, I may just...

    No Coworking Space, Where To Find Like Minded People

    There isn't a 24hr cafe in Erie, PA but I can still head over to one for a few hours. I listened to an audio clip on YouTube from Tai Lopez, he mentioned that humans learn primarily from osmosis ie.- You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. No tight knit family, no...

    No Coworking Space, Where To Find Like Minded People

    Both. They say that you are the average of the 5 people that you spend the most time with. I got a foundational job for my personal needs but none of my coworkers are entrepreneurial or like minded and neither are my friends or family. The coworking space has a monopoly in the city, the only...

    No Coworking Space, Where To Find Like Minded People

    Quick question, if you couldn't go to a coworking space for a better work environment with like minded people and home wasn't an option either where would you work from?

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I just finished the audiobook recently while working in a foundry. Found it both humorous and valuable. Hyper realities is a real thing. While walking in the lounge area at work, I saw groups of people on tv protesting to free Britney Spears but what about themselves?

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've read the book. It's packed with valuable insights. CENTS (Control/Entry/Need/Time/Scale). Now I'm reading Escape the Rat Race...I'm about 25% done.

    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thanks for the encouragement and yeah the low end of the market really doesn't respect what you have to offer and what you do. The good thing is that I got a video testimonial out of it so it's not all that bad. It's also a very a good to do trial run to see if I actually would enjoy coding...

    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    The $100 was for my fee for a paid trial for 7 days. Some gurus say that instead of doing free work that it's actually better to do a paid trial instead so that's why I offered it. I'm not against free work if something comes out of it, like I mentioned before I paid for the nail salon ad...

    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I agree... it is definitely very saturated at this point. I will have to find an underserved market where newbies aren't pitching digital marketing services to. And if someone has figured out fulfillment for these niches, it is most certainly not all over the internet like chiros, roofers and...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I live currently in the US in Erie, PA. My assembly skill is literally packing boxes of Red Barron pizzas into boxes. Not sure if I will ever buy those pizzas again. I took your advice and looked for higher pay in the manufacturing industry and found open positions for a grinder in a foundry...

    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I agree and everyone really is in the space... I had a conversation with my registered agent service and the rep said that he was also looking into creating a digital marketing agency. It's nuts

    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thanks and good point as well. I always felt as though the content was outdated. A lot of local business owners are hip to agencies and their strategies as well. The only carpet cleaner that showed up to the call pretty much yawned at my demo presentation... and he said that he was burned in...

    I'm lost and discouraged about my Ad Agency even though I got results. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I spent thousands of dollars of unemployment benefits during the COVID pandemic on courses that teaches you how to start a digital marketing agency so I wouldn't have to go back to the assembly line earning $8.00 per hour. I have no degree and really no marketable skills and even worse I have...

    Yeah, for sure. Even grandmas are starting agencies.It violates the Commandment of Entry. But I lack skills so this will have to do for now.

    On the call, it seems as if he was suggesting flipping contracts or whatever as an exit strategy for an agency. He made it seem like an ordinary occurrence.

    Selling clients to other marketing agencies

    He may have meant Company A receiving compensation for referring the client to Company B after the contract with Company A is up.
