I've never created a public progress thread before and even though it feels a little bit scary (being vulnerable and open to criticism), I decided to do it here. Frankly I can't imagine a better place than this forum since the book spoke to me like anything else and I enjoy being around people with similar mindset and goal.
My goal with this thread is to
So far I've picked a topic that I want to dive in (personal development/productivity), identified the target audience (employed men 25-35 trying to create a side business) and their pain points (lack of time, energy and/or motivation to work on their side business).
The website is up with an email opt-in and a downloadable content addressing their pain points. Since getting people on my email list is my main goal, my actions will be aligned with this goal. Techniques like SEO, PPC/PPV, article marketing etc. aren't the way I want to go right now (but will happily use PPC when a product is out and generates a revenue), therefore building relationships with other bloggers with similar audience in order to be able to guest post on their sites will be my target for this week (and the following ones, of course).
Apart from contacting bloggers I want to create another article and publish it on my website and promote it on relevant places.
What online courses on building a side business do you know? I've found B-school, Earn1k, Zero to launch, Location Rebel. Are there any others that I missed? If so, please share.
My goal with this thread is to
- feel the pressure from public commitment and therefore move faster
- document my journey
- make it available for others to see what's worked and what hasn't
- get feedback from other members with different perspectives
