Wealth, shown to scale

Wealth inequality in the United States is out of control. Here we visualize the issue in a unique way.

This is actually crazy. The amount of wealth some people have. 1 million seems like nothing in comparison lol.

Although why am i scrolling r/antiwork smh.

Thoughts?

What I think is: "How can I set my kid up to become one of these people?" If it takes multigenerational wealth as they claim, perhaps I could be the beginning of creating massive value.

Set up a teaser page for our product on Product Hunt today!

Is anyone familiar with launching on their platform and got some tips for a successful launch?

I am looking for world-class companies that do:

• Book ghostwriting, publishing and marketing for Best-Seller ranking on Amazon (and other book distribution networks) in B2B fields/niches. Ideally can also take care of issues like setting up Wiki pages for the authors.
• PR companies specialized in getting people into top press publications like Forbes, Entrepreneur, Bloomberg, Fortune.

If you have any recommendations, or you know any people you can put me in contact with, please DM me.

A former B2C client of mine had a book I ghost-wrote for him published (and become an Amazon Bestseller) via Rethink Press back in early 2020: Rethink Press - Rethink Press

(They also offer ghostwriting, but since I had worked with this client on previous projects, he preferred to stick with me for the task. The work was still edited & proofread by the Rethink team.)

They have a good reputation, do lots of B2B stuff and, for what it's worth, seemed professional in their approach. Probably worth a look!

Do you know what's on her mind? I'm going to be multimillionaire when I clock 92. That's possible if she read and act seriously.

Do you know what's on her mind? I'm going to be multimillionaire when I clock 92. That's possible if she read and act seriously.

I wasn't suggesting that she was going to start a business.

As I say, FASTLANE starts as a mindset. Being onboard with her grandson's Fastlane career is Fastlane enough for me.

Tried search but very possible I am missing it but do we have any guides on bootstraping website seo with content? I am willing to pay writers (just can't be outrageously expensive as this is still a startup) as well if need be but even if there is a guide/tips on how to navigate that process would be good. I don't really know much beyond the basics of SEO so ideally someone who can come up with the ideas + write the articles.

Just trying to get some content aging before I launch my SAAS.

SEO takes time. For a fresh domain, I wouldn't expect any big results in less than 6 months.

On a budget, you may actually do better with AI content edited by a human than hiring writers if it's a general topic and no extensive domain knowledge is necessary. I like using Surfer SEO (they also have an AI writing tool though most people prefer using KoalaWriter).

LOL that's just ridiculous. So these days it's inappropriate to say that someone is objectively beautiful and someone is ugly?

Soon you'll ask it to show you a woman and it'll tell you why focus on physical attributes lol.

This is another hilarious woke thing I saw today after this crazy video that I laughed about with @Fox:

View: https://youtu.be/4CSqt_b5AS0


That dude who's now supposedly a woman surfer doesn't even pretend. I mean:



How funny is that? They fired a real, super inspiring woman and replaced her with that dude who's crushing it in the female division.

But hey, instead of focusing on physical attributes, why not appreciate the inner beauty?

Clarification:

Rip Curl Responds to Transgender Surfer Controversy

Rip Curl has responded after inadvertently placing itself at the center of the debate over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sporting events.

Supposedly the guy didn't replace her. Still, the concept of him being able to participate as a woman is ridiculous.

Try and find people who are looking for certain results rather than highly competitive commercial keywords. Example : "buy men running shoes" vs "buy mens marathon running shoes size 12".

For your SASS, look for keywords searched by people who are looking for a desired result and your product/service has a solution that helps them achieve that desired result. This will bring in higher quality clicks from people who are easier to sell to because you are presenting your product as the solution to the problem that person has.

Example : Your SASS provides an AI bot that helps people to grow their Twitter following. Instead of trying to rank for 'Best Twitter bot' you could aim for a detailed blog on 'How to grow your twitter account in 2024'. You could throw a CTA in the article 'Hey, we also provide an AI powered bot to do all this for you. It will automatically reply to tweets, interact with followers and respond to hot topics. You will get more followers and make more sales while you sleep'. You could turn this seemingly lower value traffic into a customer because its the same exact type of person that would be searching for 'best twitter bot'.

Like to post something but it doesn't need its own thread?

This thread is for you!

Thought I'd create a random thoughts and chit-chat thread for anyone who'd like to post something, but it doesn't need it's own thread.

For example, I just learned today that an idea I had years ago for an airport valet service is now reality. Not only is it reality, but it is growing and grabbing funding.

The service is EXACTLY as I envisioned it would be.

OAK and LAX Long-Term Airport Parking : Never Park Again

Darn it!

The old, "Damn, I had that idea!!" strikes again!

That said, I might invest as they are taking accredited investor money.

Im bout to be 19 and feel like running out of time to get wealthy young.
It might sound silly, I know.
And honestly I just want to NOT worry about money and provide for my family. The cars and watches are the last on my purchase list. I want to be the one who "makes it" and show my dad that I really can be someone and carry the name. I want to give my parents experiences in their last years on Earth

Define wealthy

Define young

Define “makes it”

Define “experiences”

Define “last years of their lives” - are they terminally ill?

I’m in my 40s. Biological clock wise, I may be your parents’ age. And you know what … I always feel like I am just getting started. And that’s after a decade of being in the 1%…

Time is relative. But none of us will live forever. For a 19 year old to say things you say is a bit dangerous. Will you fall for the latest money chasing scam because you are so in a hurry? Only to crash financially and mentally after… hopefully not. Not if I a response to your post can course correct you.

To get to that level of security you seek, you need to find a way to add massive value to the world. And that can take time. More often than not, well over a decade!

Nah, you are so very young mate. You are very youthful and full of energy.
You will never have as much energy to pursue your goals as you do now, you will never be as able bodied as you are now.
You have time on your side, and can be patient.

I've not come across LinkedIn pages like this before.

I'd no idea they could have so many followers.

Curious what you all think of the content.

What's your thoughts @Antifragile and @Kak given you're both big into leadership as a primary skill in business?

Also curious what you think @MTF since you're into content creation.

I feel it's kind of cringy, and what I imagine is on Instagram. It seems to be hitting a note on LinkedIn though, I presume because people are people whatever platform they're on.

I used to take my health for granted, but being in pain every day these days sucks.

I now just wish for ONE day of full mobility and feeling good.

The bills $$$$ keep racking up with no end in sight right now.

I would spent $100,000 if I knew it would fix it, but at the moment, there just isn't a sure path to fixing it as the medical establishment isn't there yet with technology.

i would be happy for treatment and no pain, I don't care for a fix as there doesn't appear to be one.

Surely at some point I'll get the relief I need someway. But just gotta keep trying different treatments.

What if you went to a private hospital in, say, Bangkok, and did a check-up there? It's much cheaper there and the quality is world-class as far as I know. Maybe they have some new technologies, too.

Yeh I'm considering all options right now.

Melbourne is spoilt for choice in some verticals in regards to sports medicine and I'm seeing this lady next week:

Tania Pizzari | Mill Park Physiotherapy

Tania Pizzari | Mill Park Physio

www.millparkphysio.com.au

She's the gold standard for shoulder issues. She does all of the work for the AFL (Australian football league) when rehab, surgery, etc fails. The surgeons go to her for advice.

The problem with the medical establishment is that all of the professionals have different trains of thought.

Old school wants to cut you open, new school not so much.

Neither are necessarily wrong per say, but its hard to know who to take advice from I find.

What I do know is that getting a shoulder reconstruction can be risky and they dont last long.

ACL, knee surgeries etc seem to have a far higher success rate with less complications.

I am also looking into various peptides as a potential option. But most things seem band aid fixes.

Things I've tried so far:

A couple of MRI's
Physio rehab twice.
Lacrosse ball therapy
Yoga
Stretching
Weekly remedial massage
Chiropractor - 10 plus visits
dry needling 10 plus visits
Low inflammation diet
Cortisone ( only did this once and won't again)
PRP (palatial rich plasma) 5 injections
HGH (human growth hormone) 5 injections with the PRP into the AC joint

People like quotes. It makes them feel inspired… but how useful is it?

Entertainment value? Maybe.

Motivational quote inspires for a second. A winning action can inspire for a day. It’s still all about doing the work.
