    Finally launched my online store selling mushroom products

    EXECUTION 
    We've been focusing on the farm side of the things recently, and we finally harvested our first batch of pink and grey oyster mushrooms the other day. Already got some firm interest from local restaurants since then. Now I guess we spend the new few weeks working out a system for the farm and...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Forgot to post in here when I first joined. I have my copy right next to me now. Biggest takeaway was reach or magnitude = scale.

    Selling on Amazon vs Website

    Amazon does violate the commandment of control over your own business, and they are notorious for screwing the seller over, but it's the second biggest search engine after Google so helps you to get sales initially. I'm going through a similar thing at the moment and I have an execution thread...

    What are your rules of personal finance?

    INVESTING 
    I live as minimally as possible. I generally only spend money on food, my car, my phone, my house. I have the internet and a laptop and that supplies my entertainment needs adequately. I don't use credit cards, only spend what I have. I am not rich yet though, these are rules that helped me get...

    Finally launched my online store selling mushroom products

    EXECUTION 
    Much appreciated, and thanks for the reminder. Maybe I'll set it up after eating tonight, and will definitely give you a shout if I need help. Yeah, I honestly think mushrooms are going to be a big hit over the next few years. I feel late to the party myself. I wish I'd started a year earlier...

    Thanks. I thought someone else might find it useful. What are you planning to sell? I opened my Amazon seller account today btw.

    Growing a YouTube channel after years of action faking

    EXECUTION 
    Best of luck. First I think you need to sort out your microphone situation. I am in a room with some background noise and it's hard to tell what you're saying, sounds like it's EQed wrong. What's your mic setup?

    Behind the Scenes of My Online Store Which Generated €246,811.88 Net Sales in 15 Months

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Nicely done mate. One thing that struck me when I opened your site on my laptop was that before I scrolled all I could see was text, no images of what you're selling. Between the '6 reasons' and the cookies notification at the bottom it was a wall of words. If it were me I'd think about...

    Finally launched my online store selling mushroom products

    EXECUTION 
    So it's Christmas Eve and the store has officially been online for a little less than three weeks. This first period has served its purpose in my mind. We had around 20 orders with a satisfactory amount of revenue and it's enabled us to prove the e-commerce system, shipping, relationship with...

    If you aren't doing this, you are leaving a LOT of money on the table.

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Yes, even a hand written thank you on the packing slip is a great start. To be honest we do this when my band sends out merch. I should really start doing it for my new e-commerce business too. Thanks for the reminder. I want to implement some of the example ideas you mentioned in the new year...

    23 Year Old w/19 Employees: Just Did $5m in 2021, *OFFICIALLY A MILLIONAIRE* - AMA

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Another UK guy here. Thanks for sharing everything so far. You say you initially spent a lot on advertising but found it tricky to transition to organic sales. Would you say it just comes with time/repeat customers/word of mouth mainly? You also mention giveaways. Are there any other free...

    Finally launched my online store selling mushroom products

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks, I think so too. Yeah, there are only two products for sale right now. I wanted to get the site up for Christmas in case friends and relatives wanted anything but it is empty. We're working on the actual growing right now and have a couple of other none fresh ideas that should come to...

    Finally launched my online store selling mushroom products

    EXECUTION 
    It's been a while since I checked in here. I originally posted a few months ago about a couple of ideas I had and got a few responses recommending I go with a gourmet mushroom idea. Well I've spent the last few months working on that, and on Monday I was finally able to set our online store...

    Hi from the UK / looking for advice

    INTRO 
    Thanks. I have a background in video so I'm confident I can make some great content for YT. The quality should improve too - I didn't even bring my gimbal yesterday when filming that.

    Hi from the UK / looking for advice

    INTRO 
    Hi again everyone. So for now I went with the gourmet mushroom idea and I've started a YT channel to document the whole journey, building from the ground up. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBwGHLXKfK4 Please subscribe if you'd like to see how it goes. And maybe I should start a progress...

    Ippei kanehara Local Lead Gen Week 2 Update

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    If you want to make money you have to get good at things you don't necessarily like doing. Last time I read up on local lead generation it was saying it's an overcrowded marketplace. Good to see someone making progress/money, assuming the OP is legit and not just advertising...

    Hi from the UK / looking for advice

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the welcome everyone. Yeah, I drafted up a more generic agreement using lawdepot.co.uk but these are good specifics I should probably think about adding in too. I like it, the zen approach. Yeah, I have a lot of thinking to do and I'm in no particular rush. I'm already leaning...

    Hi from the UK / looking for advice

    INTRO 
    Hi everyone. I recently finished The Millionaire Fastlane and it's been something of a revelation for me. I feel I'm at a crossroads in my life and could use some alternate perspectives from those who have been here before. It might get a little lengthy... I'm 33 and live in the UK. My working...
