Quote of the Day - QOTD

I noticed MJ changed his avatar and it displays the following quote.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Friedrich Nietzsche

That's gold.

I figured a "Quote of the Day - QOTD" thread would be a good thing to start. It might...

She Left a $60k Job to Freelance...

My wife isn't a member on this board, so I'm posting for her.

Back in February, she started freelancing. She's never had a side hustle. Never started a business. Never freelanced. She had a $60k salary at her full-time job. In her first month freelancing, she closed around $100 and doubted it was worth her time. Toward the end of March, when the pandemic picked up, she asked her employer to let her work from home. They refused. She quit.

Now we're in November. She never went back to a...

Breakthrough Advertising - $1000 book for $12.95 on Amazon?

Hey Fastlaners,

So I've been snooping around for a copy of Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz for some time, but those of you who are familiar with the book will know it's incredibly rare to find and often goes for $500-$1500 a piece.

Though I've stumbled upon a $12.95 softcover version on Amazon (sold by Amazon themselves) which apparently is printed on demand (the book is normally worth so much because it's "out of print")...

How to use forums (and Facebook groups)

How to use forums (and Facebook groups)

I'm going to braindump some of my learnings about using Forums and Facebook groups.

Spammers won't get it, but I'll direct them here and they may slow down long enough to learn something.



For those trying to "validate a need" (I kinda hate that phrase), then forums and Facebook groups are a fantastic resource. Not only do people nicely group themselves for you, but they'll chatter about problems and issues they have...

I want ice cream too

I wanted to talk about myself and my journey to get here to type this out today, but to be honest me and my story so far doesn’t matter. What does matter is how I can change my destiny because I am in control now.

I found this forum a year ago and this is my first ever post. I’ll explain why another time maybe but it doesn’t matter.

So many things I could say about this forum but I’ll pick two words to encapsulate how I feel about this place.

So if you are born poor in a 3rd world shitpool, can you still make it? My Story.

In one his books, MJ makes a good argument: If you are born in a First World country, have a healthy mind and body, there is absolutely no reason for you to not be able to break through the chains of servitude. Now a question arises -- what if you are born on the wrong side of the planet? And you ain't too smart?

I had that puzzle to solve. I was born poor in a 3rd world country where corruption and cast-ism reigned strong. In early childhood, I experienced beatings on a daily basis because...

Grit, Resolve, and Hope: Everyone Loves A Comeback Story

We all like an underdog story.

So I lost my job last week. I was there for 3 years.

I worked my a$$ off, got promoted, progressively gained more responsibility, and had the opportunity to interview for another promotion. I was stoked, and thought I was finally about to make a career breakthrough.

I waited 2 weeks for the interview outcome meeting. All manner of chaos is erupting due to Covid and many colleagues are losing their jobs. The outcome meeting arrives.

They tell me I was...

Is there any other way for a newbie freelance copywriter to get work without using upwork and other freelancing websites?

Hi,
I am looking to become a freelance copywriter.
I was wondering if there any way for a teen freelance copywriter to get work initially without using freelancing websites.
Because the competition there is just way too high.

Moreover, I can't contact those clients directly to build a long-term relationship with them.

This is another reason why I wanna avoid those platforms.

Can I get some suggestions?
