I did exactly this today to test the process and got up to 3.5gb of dropbox storage today :)

Why not use copy.com instead, or Google drive for that matter? Copy.com gives you 15gb, and a download folder etc as well. Here is a ref link https://copy.com?r=ezGlAW for an extra 5gb (gives me an extra 5gb as well - feel free to just go to the site I dont need the space). I prefer the interface over Gdrive

How To Find People Talking About Your Niche

Cool a$$ tip I just learned for finding people ACTIVELY talking about your niche/product/whatev:

1.) Google a word or subject. Like “wantrepreneur”.
2.) Under “More” in Google search bar, select “Discussions”.
3.) Under “search tools” select “past 24 hours”.

BAM. List of everyone talking about wantrepreneurs in last 24 hours.

You can chime into these discussions, see what they’re saying, use their language for your marketing, get ideas. Whatever.

This discussion trick does not work in Google any more.

Any alternative?

Thanks a million.

Hey

not the same but check the attached image, from the "more" dropdown menu shown click "search tools" and a new line of options appears allowing you to select the time period.

I'm 18 years old, and after completing my freshman year, I have quit college. The above post was incredibly inspirational. Leaving is something I have been thinking about for months, but until this post I was not 100% certain. I was raised by my parents that a college degree is one of the most important steps to take, however I am thankful that I will not waste another three years of my life chasing down a single piece of paper. Life is too short. Instead, I will chase down a lot of paper ($$).

What skills do I want need to acquire (and how will I go about achieving this)?
1. Copywriting + marketing (following the 30 day copywriting challenge)
2. Weight training (gym... daily - physical activity leads to mental clarity)
3. Social media (interviewing 100 experts)

Most importantly, what are my potential income streams?
1. Starting a business in social media management
2. Starting a website that will turn into a business (credit to @IceCreamKid... interviewing 100 experts)
3. Buying items on eBay and reselling them for a higher price.
4. Buying tickets and reselling them for a higher price.
5. Paid job as a freelance writer for local publications.

Eventually the goal is to start cutting out 3-5, and focus primarily on 1 & 2.

I'm not writing this because I want you to mentor me or to brag. I'm hoping that at least one person reading this is inspired enough - as I was by this thread - to get off their a$$ and start working. It's never too early... it's never too late. Now is the right time.

Thank you @zen******* for your contributions to this forum and to my life. I only recently found this forum, but I have a tremendous drive to spread love in this world. I'm hoping quitting college will allow me to do this.

For now it is all words, i talk alot to and ain't doing shit until recently but i haven't posted it yet.
Do first talk later.

This is great! I did JUST this and it has worked wonders!

I may be just one guy but i can attest to the power of 1.) offering to work for free for someone who you're looking to learn from and 2.) networking to expand your social circle. Both of these provided me with direct contact with a successful rehabber in my local area who took me under his wing and gave me equity in his deals in exchange for working for him. After completing 3 houses with him, I decided I knew enough to take the leap. I finish RE classes next week, will hang my license, have spoken with several private lenders who will lend on my deals and have several fantastic subs to use thanks to another business I recently started.

Just a year ago I was working as a bootcamp instructor, wondering how the hell I was going to make the change towards living the life I wanted. Hah! Amazing what a little action can do.

Zen- 20-50M is a huge number in the residential world. Either my big goals aren't so big or I've just again been reminded that I don't know what I don't know. Would you mind sharing how you would go about accomplishing this?
Good Strategy!

Ok, So I get alot of questions on how I do some of the things I do.
I am starting this thread mostly for me to dump my brain out every now and then

and to add some of the processes I do, some of the tips, and from time to time HOW TO's

This Is a thread for me to dump stuff, but feel free to Add things. All I ask is that you put it in a process format. so someone could pick it up, understand what it is, and go do it.

This thread is for action takers, who just needs the punch list to go

Over the Years I have come up with mini systems, or micro processes I will be sharing them here.

What happened to him?

What happened to him?

@MJ DeMarco - I am not gonna bother with the reasons why, since it's none of my business, BUT: will all the content he shared stay online or be taken down? Still going through some stuff and don't want it to disappear before I finish.

Thanks in advance! :)

How to make $4500/month - with NO capital.

Put your house/apartment on AirBnB. If you have a studio/1bdrm - post and see if you get reservations. IF you do - crash at the friends place or your parents place for those days.

Use the money you make to fund your new business OR as a deposit for another apartment - that you can also post on AirbNb. Just underprice your place to get the first few reservations - and after you have a few positive reviews you should have no problem with bookings. You can furnish your new apartment with cheap/free furniture from Craigslist.

This will give you extra cash with and asset you already have.

I've had a lot of success with this - full occupancy for my apartments. And am looking to purchase a multi-family unit of 1 bedrooms or bachelors for short term rentals only - you make 2X to 3X more per unit/month this way than you would with long term rentals. Given that the location is desirable for tourists or students.

Make something out of nothing :).

Its an interesting thought on rental property.

Ohhhh No, I only noticed now that his username has been changed.

He really knew his IM/Online Marketing stuff. Wish he would have stayed a little longer.

Oh well, C'est la vie!

This link doesn't seem to be working any more, any one have an alternative?
If you keep reading you will find out that was some sort of mock website that requested some sort of email from the interested clients.

It's a pretty common way of validation.

You can see a similar way to validate ideas like MARKETING - Just start already.
