Update 1/21/2015
So first off, I killed this weekend.
So much so that I was asked to officiate at a ring ceremony in March. You bet your ass I'm going to do it, too.
What I ended up getting done:
1. Fix Site Issues
So I was able to finally get in and figure out how to get the next page...
I agree completely. I tried to figure that out earlier in this process, but I'm not nearly the coder I should be. And the way the theme is written is pretty confusing. I'll make this a priority though and see if I can't get those bottom nav buttons bigger and reduce the item number. Thanks for...
I have some crazy pain in my left elbow and wrist as well. Don't know what it is, but it gets crazy painful at random times. Almost feels like tendinitis.
Update 1/12/2015
Hey there neighbors. It's been a minute since I got this updated, and there really is no excuse. I just haven't had a ton to update on, and there have been a few opportunities that I needed to pounce on right away. I'm sure y'all can understand striking while the iron is hot...
I like how real it is here. Just dude and chicks talking about marketing and making money. It's an open forum of ideas and ideals. Lots to learn, lots of connections to make. We can rule the world.
You look just like Andrew Garfield.
So there's that.
But moving on, when you focus on customer acquisition, what is the main platform or system you use to reach potential customers -- SEO aside?
I'd also be interested in how you got your start, what partnerships you feel comfortable...
Well, without knowing the metrics (and I guarantee someone will say I don't need to see them to make this decision) I would opt for a 301. If the backlinks are really as authoritative as you say, then I'd want to inject that juice straight into my site/page and not have it diluted.
But, why not...
It's just another niche that has been raped, manhandled, gang banged, and left standing naked in the cold by a bunch of horny wannabe SEOs. The guys that are killing it there are/were next level.
@emp, dude... Woof. That shit blows man. As hollow as is sounds, I'm sorry. It'll be good to see you back on the forum, though. Hope it all gets better.
I just ran across this video and it hit me pretty hard.
We are all creators. We can all be innovators. We have the ideas that can shape the world. We are an elite group who are dedicated to creating and building awesome for the world around us.
Wherever you are on this journey, keep going...
Update 12/31/2014:
Well the holidays are just about over and life is about to resume in full force. This season has been rough, but I'm grateful CCarter had enough foresight to give us a little leeway.
My update today will be short, but you can expect the same detail as previous posts in the...
When you bought the business, were there still 50+ members subscribed? When you expanded the line and raised the price, did you contact those original members and give them the option to upgrade, stay at the same rate, or cancel their subscription? Was the attrition rate pretty high?
Basically...
That thread was massive. I thought about doing a sub box about a year ago. Never got around to it, but reading your experience put some more ideas into my head. Baller status.
Looking forward to seeing you around here!
I have an Australian Shepard Mini and he's a total champion. Not too big, which is needed in my case. I tend to move around a lot and sometimes I'm in a house, sometimes an apartment. He does well in both and is super smart. But if you grew up around collies, you know how much fun and...
Update 12/17/2014:
This week has been good. Haven't been as focused on actual website setup so I've been able to focus a bit more on getting supplementary things done. Things that will help contribute to the "leakage". When that day comes...
This week's Done List:
1. Email Capture
First...
I know the posts are thin, and under any other circumstance I would agree 100% with you about adding a ton of info, but I've actually previously thought about this before I launched the site and settled on it remaining this way. The reasons are multifaceted, but the way the site needs to...
Update 12/10/2014:
It's getting close to the holidays, so I felt this gif was warranted. Welcome back to the show.
The last week has been spent working on a couple of setup items.
1. Social
I started by making sure the social sites were updated, posts cued, and ready for real engagement. I'm...
