@Yoda for online business and blogging. He had some killer Jedi posts on using blogging as a tool.
@MustImprove for focusing on general problem-solving
@Raoul Duke for memes when someone is stoking a landfill...

 

[Longinus]

Nice list. @MJ DeMarco Wouldn't it be useful if you could add badges to members for skills and expertise? Like the ones listed above.

 

[Vigilante]

I would add
@Kung Fu Steve (motivation)
@LightHouse (systematic organization and goal setting)

 

[Andy Black]

@Vigilante (a$$ kicking, inspiring, passive income addict)
@Lex DeVille (copywriting, guru bashing, side hustling, sexy voice actor)

TOP TIP:
Look at who the people you respect follow. Go follow them too. Spend your time looking at your News Feed and not looking at the most recent 100 threads...

Great list!

@MTF - self-publishing

Wouldn't it be useful if you could add badges to members for skills and expertise? Like the ones listed above.

We used to do this, people neglected it. (They wouldn't provide info)

Added! (Including Lex's sexy voice acting) Thanks for the rep!

 

[eliquid]

Spend your time looking at your News Feed and not looking at the most recent 100 threads...

I feel like I am missing something.

How do you find this "your news feed"?

I basically come in daily and view the top of the most recent 100 threads and that is pretty much all I have ever done.

Where is this personal news feed? Is it strictly based on content from those you follow only?

Thanks

Hover over, your username, on the top menu bar. To the left of your Inbox. When it drops down. On the right. "Your News Feed" appears. Yeah, it shows, like posts/replied by the folks you follow.

[MTEE1985]

Spend your time looking at your News Feed and not looking at the most recent 100 threads...

In addition to this great advice, I would highly recommend beginners go and read through the gold/notable thread(s) started by those they plan on following. That list wouldn’t be complete without @IceCreamKid (direct marketing/options/what can’t he do?) and is @RHL (general business advice) still active? Talk about some incredible experience from those two.

I love how diverse the list of professions there are. I wonder which one I will be dominating soon

Top right there’s the symbol of a person (on my phone anyway). It’s what you click to see your alerts and conversations. Above those options it says News Feed.

In the News Feed it lists new content and likes by people you follow. Whenever MJ posts something I can go check it out. Whenever he likes something I can also go check it out.

@rpeck90 - Branding and marketing (the Whys)

 

[ZF Lee]

@MidwestLandlord for property, brick and mortar, oil, and another plethora of business strategies
Haven't seen him around here much these days though, even on Insiders.

@Timmy1990 for culinary related stuff.

@Mattie for market insights related to women and youth psychology

@JasonR for e-commerce

 

[Timmy C]

@Johnny boy Sales and creative thinking.

 

[Andy Black]

@AllenCrawley also does email marketing.

What about all the other marketing channels?

Who springs to mind when we think of each of Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Amazon PPC, Udemy, etc?

Great additions everybody. Any ideas or additions for some of these?

Don't forget @G_Alexander . Brick and mortar, e-commerce, real estate

To make looking through Gold threads easier I started a thread categorizing the Gold threads here: The Gold Thread Directory

If we get badges... I'd like mine to just say "Tony Robbins", please!

How about Tony Robbins Jr.?

 

[Kung Fu Steve]

How about Tony Robbins Jr.?

"Mini Robbins" is what they call me

Edit: I guess I'd also accept "Tiny Robbins"

Mini Robbins it is then!

 

[CareCPA]

Honored to make the list.
Also, very helpful. I always intend to follow people, and then never click the button for some reason. I'll need to start fixing that.

 

[GradyS]

And now I have a goal for 2020. To be included on this list and hopefully not on the "who to ignore" list!

Quick (noob) question. How do you follow people that have limited their profiles? Does that mean only insiders can follow them?

 

[Roz]

@amp0193 - Ecommerce

@JAJT - Ecommerce and Sales

 

[Kung Fu Steve]

oh god... now my notifications are a hundred messages that say "you have gained a follower" ... "you have lost a follower" ... "you have gained a follower... oh nope, you lost them..." "hey here's a follow- nevermind.. they unfollowed you."

Interesting. Sounds like I might have less following, but none unfollowing. I’ve no idea what to make of that.
