Hey flf, Well, a few years ago I started copywriting. Things started going well and then bad stuff happened and took me out for a few years. To help get back into the swing of things now, I want to help some of you out. If you need a fresh pair of eyes to look over your website/landing...

Back in late 2010, I threw my hat into the writing/self-publishing ring. A friend had used a self-publishing service to get his first book into print, and it seemed like a good idea to test out. Needless to say, I knew nothing about marketing books or marketing anything at the time. I made many...

Hi all! Pleased to meet you. I'm a mid-thirties woman from Europe, and I'll refrain from posting any specifics - for now, at least - because I joined after reading Unscripted to find a community of like-minded people to bounce ideas off each other, not to promote my business. Anyway, here's my...

An FTE for sure! My wife called me with these two thrilling, intoxicating and downright scary little words just over 3 months ago. I knocked over my chair in a hipster coffee shop, hopped on a Bird scooter and floored it home! I don't really like talking about myself or my goals (probably...

Hello, Fastlaners! Do you consider yourself helpful? I joined this forum a few years back, avidly following in the footsteps of @HeldforRansom and @ChickenHawk. I've written a few books since then (27 novels, to be exact), some self-published, some as a ghostwriter, and I still follow...

Hi everyone! I'll start by saying "NO" I didn't write Twilight fan fiction at twelve. Though, I was inspired to write my own because of one. Shameful I know. Somehow, at the most awkward phase in a person's life, I wound up with 100,000 readers from a story I made up on the spot. I also won't...

Hi, I started writing my startup story online to improve my writing, get feedback and possibly inspire people. Here is a snippet and link to the full article at the bottom. Appreciate your honest feedback, what do you think? what would you do differently? Full post here: Zero to One...

Yesterday I was writing a passage where I wanted to convey a lot of fear, anxiety and adrenaline. I couldn't write anything convincing when I was in my default state, but after I drank some coffee, put on some ominous music and dimmed the lights - it started coming out. Do you do anything to...

SELF-EMPLOYED ---> NEEDS MORE AUTOMATED SALES: I was talking with a client last week...he had just gotten back from a 2-week vacation in Maine (beautiful state!). He was a bit flustered. Right now, 90% of his revenue each month comes from doing LIVE webinars. These webinars work great...but...

Ok, here's the situation. I'm working a sales job. I took the job to get better at selling. This is an "earn while you learn" experience. I see an angle. I see an opportunity to (maybe) apply leverage by prospecting an area my new colleagues may have overlooked. My idea is to test my theory...
