    6 hours in traffic to get to work? Yeah, fuck that for a laugh. 6h * 5 days = 30 hours a week better spent on your own project.

    I've got a question about Life.

    I don't know your situation, but my advice would be to not isolate yourself so much. I'm not saying you have to "meet up with the boys" every few days. But see and talk with another human outside your house every now and then. If you're in mumas basement everyday grinding that's great. But...

    Where can I hire industry professionals?

    Without outing my upwork account / site... something like Need expert for xx to do xx. Cant really be more specific than that. Titles definitely play a role in hiring though you're right. I guess one title could attract the mentality of one group, and another could attract a whole different...

    Where can I hire industry professionals?

    Looking for people with strong knowledge of my vertical / niche that can help market my brand. I've found some good channels I want to promote in, but don't entirely have the knowledge to make useful or helpful comments. I've tried upwork but failed miserably multiple times. I think...

    Watch for these Article Writing Scams...

    Crafty bastards. What rate were you paying? I'm assuming it'd be dirty cheap for someone to pull shit like that?

    How to Build Discipline?

    Discipline doesn't come overnight so building a routine like you've mentioned works. I did something similar. I wrote a daily routine which included when I would eat, meditate, exercise, scratch my balls etc. If you have it set in stone you know what's coming next so there's no pissing around...

    The Google Fred Update - March 2017

    Seems to me that this update was just rolled out to clean up the trash. From that report I see that they hit thin content sites and heavily advertised sites. Same old stuff, no? I'm keeping like a 8:1 rato on my site. 8 informing posts with zero affiliate links, and 1 money post. Do others...

    Direct Mail do's and don'ts

    One thing I learned was to not send mail out on rubbish day. People are more inclined to check their letter box and then throw half the shit straight into the bin. Another tip I picked up was to customize each letter you send out. Make it very personal so they think you took the time to help...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    I thought that was too easy of an answer, my apologies. I use a framework so I'm used to hooking PHP wherever on the fly. Where do you need it to go? The code below inserted the date code into the header (tested). It goes into your functions.php file. function yearInject() { ?> <h1><?php...

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    <h1><?php echo date("Y"); ?></h1> Prints 2017 inside a h1 tag - is that what you needed?

    Other sites duplicating my content

    I agreed to post an infographic for a site in my niche. Instead of posting the infographic, this guy just copied parts of my money page, then stuck a link at the end. I'm not quite sure what this halfwit is playing at, but is this going to be an issue for me? Should I disavow the link if he...

    Don't Believe the Narrative

    I think this post should be added to the begging of the digital strategy crash course. If you're not able to make these connections from the start of a new venture, it's going to seriously hinder your success. I mean, if you can't separate yourself from these people, not even physically, but...

    Learning my way around UpWork

    You can send an offer directly to the freelancer after they do the work for you. This will be done using the hire the freelancer button. You'll click that, then enter the amount $, add in the job desc / task, send the offer. They'll accept it, you can close it right after (provided this was a...

    Learning my way around UpWork

    You can click "hire freelancer" BUT when clicking it, make sure to select keep the job open so it doesn't close it, and you can keep getting people to apply for it. You can hire multiple people for a project. Or you can just give them a task, but don't officially hire them, just tell them it's...

    Does anyone here use Alibaba? Tips?

    1+ to everything @backwoods said. Additionally if you find a pair of socks you like, hunt for a better deal. There's resellers of resellers on there, so there's a chance you could be paying more than you need to. No brainer... but always use escrow

    What's the most content you've published in a single month?

    Here's a follow up question to the people that have put out over 500 in a month... Why did you pump it all out in one month, rather than drip feed it out?
