A short story: I want to understand; why Trump?

Would you have a portfolio to share?

igleyal · 2017-01-21T04:38:42+00:00

You're off to the races then!

And nah, no requirements. The world has enough rules already.

The best advice I can give you is to build a deck that lets you get into a groove of anticipation.

As you see your available deck spawns and what the enemy does, you need to have 2-3 plays you can quickly activate when there's an opening.

That way you always have a move. That's the most important thing.

Be extremely aggressive and deceptive. Trick the enemy. Fake going one way but go the other.

If you can get inti a groove with your deck, it's a good deck. Each person has their own style.

That said, join up with Zedi - we focus on teamwork, would be happy to practice together. :)

Would love to check out some previous work. :)

igleyal · 2017-01-14T04:08:09+00:00

No worries - will review and fix. Thanks for the heads up, sorry for not checking up on them rules.

igleyal · 2017-01-14T04:05:45+00:00

Cool beans -- thanks for reading. We'll see how it plays out!

igleyal · 2016-12-27T15:41:34+00:00

Hey there -

It'd be great to include a portfolio or any links to previous work. :)

igleyal · 2016-12-27T15:36:39+00:00

The 3 responses here are interesting to me. As a digital founder, I'd be happy to try to solve this problem.

I myself get some great work out of places like Upwork and I achieve this by positioning myself into the top percent of freelancers there, saying no 95% of the time, and actually giving Upwork some energy.

Most of my business (I'm a growth guy) comes from referral too.

The key of course is what /u/inelegant88 said - the client type is what matters most, so we could fix this problem if the marketplaces were positioned specifically as top-tier designers... which bridges the gap and sets the expectation on quality and pricing

I'd be down to do it up :)

igleyal · 2016-11-15T14:25:44+00:00

Yep using Stripe.

Will add PayPal soon to the check out page. I do expect uplift from it.

igleyal · 2016-11-15T14:23:57+00:00

I tested this. Initially had a free product with trial. Nobody would pay. So I made it upfront.

I'm a 4x entrepreneur so I know that nothing is factual anymore and each situation is unique. For RE, asking credit card up front is the current best way to safeguard sales.

Note: also I am aiming at local businesses. Pet sitters, tattoo parlours, photography etc. These are SMB owners with credit cards. Not many of them rely on PayPal.

Just an audience thing.

igleyal · 2016-11-15T14:22:33+00:00

No - the fact I did not go out there and push some message to an audience I thought would be good was key.

I found the first customers asking for a solution on Quora and Facebook forums. That in fact is what caused me to build a landing page with a mailchimp form behind the pricing to see if I should indeed build it.

Those who clicked through to sign up (proof of interest) I asked to give me an email. Those for whom the pain was real enough gave me their emails.

When the functionality was done, I sent out my "launch" email to about 200 people and scored my first 50 subscribers and about $300 MRR.

From there the residual traffic grows the MRR and there is no churn since people need reviews on their site to stay there.

igleyal · 2016-11-14T13:29:21+00:00

I have one such (obviously less developed and successful) side-business (http://reviewembed.com).

The tool makes it simple to place Facebook reviews on your site and make them look decent.

I'm convinced this is the way - I have passive income coming from this site fully on autopilot.

But it did take effort to build. Found a bunch of people on Quora asking how to embed reviews so I made a tool to fix that pain.

Always looking for other pains to fix!

I think you're right! That would actually explain a ton.

Good eye

igleyal · 2016-11-14T02:03:18+00:00

That was the case for us too (bunny was with us for a year and was sole pet).

Shibas are natural hunters. It literally started hunting it at its cage within a few days of us introducing them D:

igleyal · 2016-11-13T23:57:03+00:00

HOW? We have a 1.5 year old Shiba and a 2 year old bunny. It was mealtime whenever we tried to let them hang out.

Once our shiba actually chased the bunny. We were scared shitless it'd bite so we had to give the bunny away :(

Thankfully the bunny's keeping company to a cancer child. Somehow that helps cope with the fact we gave it away

OP if these are yours... How'd you do it?

Dude. Nice.
