So I watched it all, then watched his youtube videos. It's not that the information is wrong or overtly trying to sell something. I just think the presentation needed polishing and a big-hit nugget of information somewhere in it. This seams to parallel his content in this thread.

@Brander I think if you work on your copywriting, imagery and a few social graces - you might just put together something that can really help somebody. Real value. I would watch it, staying tuned.

Thank you. I appreciate a thoughtful reply.

I am in the seeding stage of the channel, the presentation is of less importance than the content. Remember all this is off-the cuff, when some experience is recalled I turn on the camera and go. I might as well use my daily walk to help someone. One of my mottos is "help someone, anyone, each day". I enjoy it. If someone stops watching because they would rather be dazzled or entertained than it's not for them.

If the channels picks up in the next 6 months then you can bet production value will increase as I'll hire a professional.

Regarding so-called "social graces". I hit back when attacked 2x as hard, but mostly ignore or mock stupidity and primitive behavior. Being something I'm not on video would mean denying myself. Remember, this is a hobby to help OTHERS atm, I gain nothing by doing this but maybe some karma that someone's light bulb has switched on.

It's simple, when someone's a dick to me, they are going to get it back 2x fold. "Start none, it'll be none."

Why? Time and Energy can be spent better elsewhere... Riling people up will not help you in the long run..

Are you using some sort of "repel to attract" type marketing strategy?

While you may think you're just "hitting back 2x as hard", it comes across as caustic and overtly aggressive. In other words, a disproportionate response.

The forum is mostly skeptical of people, as we see many who post these sorts of videos come and go. Often, with nothing of real substance ( with respect to their accomplishments ) to back them up. The response to this sort of content is therefore tepid at best, and generally ice cold.

Seems like you've had some prior success, so congrats on that. Perhaps our skepticism is invalid.

Regardless, You would have a much better time if you didn't take yourself so seriously.

I've ignored most of the posts, responded only to to the most vile and aggressive and even those not directly. I guess people don't watch and make nasty comments because reasons. And unfortunately THEY are the ones "riling" anything. As MJ said, this is a general video, for general audiences, anyone identifying with it on this forum says more about them than anything else.

Always happy to engage in thoughtful discussion, though, as time permits...

Please spare me the "I'm a victim here". You said many disparaging things in this thread in regards to me, I never responded. I get the manipulative "He cries out in pain as he strikes you." vibe from you.

That was my first comment on the thread. I've never said anything disparaging about you.

Maybe take a step back and reflect on what you're saying... Why are you responding to the most vile and aggressive. Your comment just doesn't make sense..

Thanks for the fuel. I didn't need to watch the video to get fired up about kicking a$$ today.

Hey!

Just checked out the rest of your channel, but I'm a little confused by your first videos...

Sharks.png

They're all 90% dislikes - clickbait titles, still photo videos w/ background music, and a single broken link to an eccomerce site.

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm_51JSjebk&ab_channel=LazyTycoon


*record scratch*

F'n seriously?

Since you're in the habit of clickbaiting and siphoning large amounts of traffic to your sites (as you've clearly done here as well),
then maybe you should spend less time on Fastlane and more time publishing a case study with the rest of the wantrepreneur scum on BlackHatWorld.

But no worries, I'm not going to bash your little hobby.
Have fun on your neurotic rambling walks in the park.

Leave creating real businesses with real value up to us.

All of the content of I've seen from you so far is really bad and poor quality.

The majority of people watching your videos don't like them, and you also have very little views.

Why do you continue down a path that's clearly not working for you?

Bravo. Only you and you alone can determine what YOU need out of life. Once you achieve the list you made by asking what would you regret not doing if you were dying right now ONLY then would it be prudent to start knocking out less important things. A billionaire that has regrets on his deathbed is a loser in life.


yes

you are part of the minority of guys here that aren't lured by wealth .

you are the guy on the boat , hearing the mermaids without being lured.

my definition of wealth is very simple : having my bills paid in order to have my time back to do things that don't need money

and are real value for me

that's why i never play the mega lotteries. i sometimes play what i call the freedom lotteries that will pay my bills because, while the odds ara against me, this is still a way out.

life is so absurd that anything can happen even winning the lottery .

at 41 , i now know that stupidity is often rewarded in life, sometimes against reason

that's why i balance reason with inspiration to cover all possibilities

You would be surprised how little traffic you all create. Regarding value, you can watch my video in my signature. You can lead the blind man and all that...

Because dude's an idiot loser.

Can we #landfill this thread already?

^^this

Dudes clearly an MJ wannabe. The video content is badly regurgitated from MJs, same terminology and word sets were used in the first minute, which is all I watched before my ears started bleeding. The only difference is, MJs video content provides actual useful content and it coincides with the content written out in his books, it makes sense and ties together perfectly. This guys video is just random, stupid, and annoying. What value are you providing exactly by dictating to people that they wont get anywhere because they're lazy asses? No fkn shit.
