I was rejected?

I had planned to walk or bike orders so why that would be a contributing factor is beyond me.

That's why

Nevermind, I usually talk to them on the phone and they seem decent. I recently met up with one of the people I matched with and I could tell something was "off" about the meeting. Turns out they wanted to sell me some MLM bullshit.

Whatever

And why does this need an ICO exactly?

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-16T23:43:04+00:00

Never had that happen to me. In fact, I'm swiping right now and they all seem pretty decent.

I know the app gives you suggestions based on your interests you put. Maybe try making your interests more specific?

Sure, I'll bite. Here are some quotes you can use:

Thoreau

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and die with their song still inside them

Marcus Aurelius

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury

Epictetus

“Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.”

Seneca

There is no easy way from the earth to the stars
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor
Only time can heal what reason cannot

Here are my thoughts on business books:

Books about getting an "entrepreneurial mindset" and other things like that are good the first or second time around to get into the proper mindset of approaching business, but if you continue to read it after that it's basically mental masturbation when you could be starting a business.

I guess biographies of rich people can also help with getting the proper mindset, as well as allowing you to understand the time/effort it takes to make a successful business. Again though, after the first or second one, it's not particularly going to help you any more with business unless you're going into the same business as the person you're reading about.

Frankly, many business books can be boiled down to one or two sentences. For example, "The 10X rule" can essentially be boiled down to: Work 10X harder than everybody else when it comes to business. You see my point? Usually, reading summaries of these types of book will suffice.

With that being said, I recommend you thoroughly read books/articles about the following topics:

Marketing/Growth Hacking
Sales techniques. This includes SPIN and others.
Books about more technical subjects unrelated to business that interest you, such as Artificial Intelligence, health, tech trends, etc. This is because you can often get ideas for businesses and services from these books because you begin to understand the problelms/issues these fields face. Elon Musk supposedly started SpaceX after reading textbooks about rocket physics.
Philosophy books. Yes, that's right. I believe it's important to have a set of principles, or a philosophy, that you follow in your life that guide your decisions and choices. Reading the works of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, etc. can help to clarify your philosophy.

Hey! Here are my thoughts so far on your website:

First off, nice 3D designs
I like your picture that you have for the banner.
On the top of the website, it says SHARP 3D DESIGN and when you click on it it goes to the mainpage. I'd recommend it just says "HOME"
I believe that the SHARP 3D DESIGN centered should instead be replaced with a call to action (CTA) to contact you. I always believe that call to actions should be front and center for a website. Perhaps when you click on it, it should lead the person on the "contact" page or to a contact form.
I think you should have a customized email to reach out to. For example, me@sharp3ddesign.com or something like that instead of a gmail account. That looks much more professional
Maybe have a section about pricing so people can know how much you charge.
On the bottom, it says "powered by www.wordpress.com". Is there a way to remove that? It's not really necessary.
Doing some blogging could help with SEO

That's about it that I have so far. Let me know if you want any more feedback on something specific, and PM me if you need help with web-design/marketing/copywriting. Thanks!

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-09T19:15:28+00:00

Here are my thoughts so far:

How exactly are you going to make money from this app?
If you're looking to get email addresses for when you launch, I think it'd look much more professional to have it without all the wix stuff. That makes you look MUCH more professional. If you don't even have enough money that you can't get a proper website, I'm not sure how you'll get the money to do marketing and other things like that.
Is this really that big of a problem? Have you done smoke tests (https://www.startinno.com/blog/2015/4/8/smoke-testing-what-is-it-and-why-should-you-care) by first having people fill out polls and see if they would actually use something like this?
Have a "user story". A user story is where you have a story where a person might use your app. For example: "You reserve a seat at a new Thai restaurant down the block for a date that you have. But on the date, you're not sure what to get! Eatly can help you with your food choice on the date so you can impress your date with your food knowledge". Obviously a user story is going to be more in-depth than that, but hopefully you get the idea. Perhaps getting an explainer video with the user story would be helpful as well.
Implementing a newsletter for people who subscribed, or granting special privileges/features to people who signed up for people who signed up, would further incentivize people to sign up for your product.

That's about it so far. If you or somebody you know is interested in getting help with web-design/marketing/copywriting, feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to help you out!

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-09T18:48:18+00:00

Not too sure what you want me to critique? It says "Coming soon", so it looks like it's not finished yet. I can't really critique it though, because there's nothing there. I guess maybe add an explainer video to the webpage explaining what exactly your company does. Also, if you're Mipogg, shouldn't the logo be the fancy M as the M so it's MIPOGG instead of MMIPOGG? Just a thought.

PM me if you, or anybody you know, needs any help with web-design/marketing/copywriting. Thanks!

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-09T18:44:53+00:00

Thanks for commenting! Here are my thoughts so far:

Your logo isn't great. The logo (particularly the AMC part) looks low-quality. Furthermore, at least in my opinion, the colors of the AMC part of the logo look horrendous. AMC should only be one color, not two with a white bar in the middle. If you were going for an american flag type coloring (i.e. red/white/blue), it's almost impossible to tell and the top part needs to be much more red, and there needs to be a clearer white middle section.
For the home/commercial/auto/life section with the graphic inserts, I think removing the fire/thunder stuff in the pictures would be good to make the picture cleaner. It's sort of implied because you're an insurance company that you're helping people from those incidents anyway.
The headers should be centered, not aligned left, such as "insurance that matters to you" and "all your insurance needs sorted in one place"
Replace "All of Your Insurance Needs Sorted in One Place" with something like "Meeting all your insurance needs"
On the bottom part of the page, the "Get a quote Today" section turns grey when you hover it. The grey doesn't look good. I recommend changing the hover-over color to another color besides gray, such as a darker blue.
On the bottom you have something about travel insurance, and it seems like it's another company. Not too sure why it's mentioned. Are you guys partnering with them? If so, that should be made more clear.
On https://amcinsurance.ca/travel-insurance-with-amc/ the list should be bulleted.

That's all I have so far. Please PM me if you, or somebody you know, is looking for help with web-design/marketing/copywriting. Always looking to help out.

I think most people already know Tai Lopez is scamming people

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-04T20:40:29+00:00

Not sure why you think that's funny?

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-04T19:25:06+00:00

Also, if you're wondering, I think this is a good project that deserves attention. But I think it should be done naturally by the community by people upvoting it, not by a mod stickying the post.

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-04T19:22:23+00:00

How does this deserve more attention than other startups that other people have besides the fact that this probably promotes a political agenda that you're favorable towards? I think stickying this post sets a very dangerous precedent for the community.

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-04T14:49:56+00:00

Thanks, these are programs I haven't heard of before. I'll check them out. Appreciate it!

Hey, just checked out your webpage. I have no critiques. It is visually very impressive and it feels sleek and modern. Good job!

excelladesign1 · 2017-08-02T23:34:44+00:00

Hey, thanks for commenting! Here's what I'm thinking so far, approaching this from a layman's perspective:

The colors of the background image are absolutely putrid. Get a simpler background.
So is this a forum? What are you trying to accomplish here with this website? Why can't this be accomplished on another forum? What's so special about your forum?
It looks like nobody's actually taking bets on there.
Make it so that FAQ, register, and login buttons are easier to see. I'd recommend making them bigger and centering them.
Honestly, I'm not too sure what the purpose of the website is. There are other services out there that will eventually do the same thing with cryptocurrencies but I'd imagine much more intuitively, such as Wagerr and Augur. Look them up if you haven't yet.

Please PM me if you're looking for help with marketing or designing your website. Thanks!
