What's up.

My name is Cameron. I'm 17 and am building my first business. Right now I am at the stage of falling on my a$$ and learning.

This is a little embarrassing to admit, but it shows where I am right now. I've been doing cold DMs trying to sell B2B, and I've probably sent 30 of them out. Yesterday was the first time I showed my coach my cold DMs and he immediately found 5 things wrong with my messages.

Wish I knew that before I sent them to a bunch of leads lol.

Without going into too much detail, I run a website with book summaries. It's angled towards a young, male audience trying to become successful and self improve. Within this site, there is a premium database of book notes which I am trying to sell B2B(to integrate within paid self improvement communities) and B2C(directly to the guys on my website). I've had the site up for a little less than a month. Right now I am at 106 unique visitors and 0 sales. The short-term goal is to hit 1000 visitors and break through for the first sale.

My main priority in here is to both get and give advice. I'm here from the Millionaire Fastlane , because I love that book. The other reason is because, truthfully, I need that kind of kick-in-the-a$$ feedback to grow to where I know I can.

As I scale up, I will post my progress and give advice where applicable. But right now, I'm going to be soaking up whatever I can, trying to learn the fundamentals.

Thank you guys for having me. I look forward to getting and giving value here.
