Finally an upfront mini-course without talking about selling their $5, 000 courses online every 30 seconds. I appreciate this so much. Subscribed.

I clicked on the video because of the title, and I want to say that I was surprised on how well structured and on point this mini course is. The fact that one of the first things he said was to be careful not to start a business with a friend is pure gold.

This is an amazing video so far! Thank you for actually giving us valuable information instead of just teasing us with it the whole time. I get so tired of videos that just talk about what they're going to talk about and never actually get there. You rock!

This video is the real deal, no clickbait or sales pitch. Just pure knowledge! Thanks for sharing this valuable info.

Thank you very much for this useful and compact description on the topic.

I used to watch you for affiliate marketing some years ago. I moved on from that to other ventures. When learning about these things, such as Print on Demand, I often wished that I could find someone like you teaching this, but can't. You are straight up, honest, knowledgeable and practical. You are guided by ethics. You are detailed in your advice.
I recently started trying to do marketing as a freelancer. I thought today, maybe I can turn it into an actual company and thought starting a Digital Marketing Agency is my way. I googled it and you were the first one I came across. I'm so glad I did.
Thanks man, keep up the great work.
I wish I could subscribe again, but I'm already a legacy subscriber.

What's needed? Liquid cash. Everyone only has credit. If you have stacks of cash, you can capitalize on everyone's credit. A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying.

Well with the economy and stocks at where it is now, I'd be disappointed if people weren't making any error on their portfolio at this time, it was much easier to navigate during the bull-run, regardless I still see and read articles of people pulling over $225k by the weeks in trades, how come?

[thehoneyvibes]

Hey, thanks for this; I truly needed it. I've seen a lot of videos on this subject, but yours is outstanding and easy to understand.

[therealmichaelmarquez]

LOVED LOVED this video! It was wisdom shared and FINALLY someone NOT selling me something! Great video! I'm subscribing right now!

[leyesisaiah]

Great video!! Been employed in digital marketing for two years now and I’m giving my two weeks notice this week and been working on starting an agency when I do, this video has been on of the most insightful I’ve seen thus far. Thank you!

[eddyjolo]

This was awesome - thanks so much. I had already decided to start a website & branding agency and this fits that perfectly!

[mathewdsouza]

I love the way you give valuable advice that makes eminent sense. I am going to enjoy this entire course. Thanks for helping..

[walley]

Wow, no fluff, straight to the point. Good job.

I started life as a photographer but wanted to get into marketing as I tended to lean towards product photography, I’m currently doing my MSc in Marketing and during this time I am currently building a marketing portfolio, we actually have a module called applied professional practice where you need to get work experience for a month and one of the choices was “venture creation” so I jumped on that. When I complete my masters I want a website, with a good few clients on it. I would like to get into hospitality (I’ve been a waiter and cook for 5 years) as I think that’s where my niche of photography and videography is really needed. I am also doing my research project on the effects of professional photography on perceived value in a restaurant setting, so I would like to see how much people would pay for a certain meal based on profession photography compared to diy photography. So hopefully this will give me data to show to future clients to convince them that investing in their photography can actually enable them to charge more because customers are likely to perceive them in higher regard compared to a restaurant with amateurish images.

I totally agree that you need to do a few free jobs, I did this when building my photography portfolio and a good few of the companies got back to me offering me paid work when they realised the images were well received on social media. Someone in my class was saying “I don’t believe in giving my time for nothing in return” and our careers advisor agreed then I said “but what do they get out of paying a student with zero marketing experience, zero portfolio and credibility? They might as well hire a professional, and you do get something out of it… experience, testimonial and potentially your first paying client. Student barbers give out free hair cuts, new restaurants often give out free samples” also working for free at the start to build up a portfolio allows you room to make and learn from mistakes, when you’re charging from the get go, you can’t make these mistakes

These are solid advice for agencies and startups alike! The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

[samsonoju]

You sound very confident, like you know the subject much. I'll watch the video to the end hoping that I can use the content to launch out!

[ymgprincesse]

This was THE video I needed to come across. You gave very valuable information so thank you so much and I wish you continued success !

[arunteelock]

This is insanely spot on! So well put together and you are so well spoken!
I wish I had met you or seen this 5 years ago! On my personal journey I found Web Development to be the best starting point.
Great for building rapport and putting your foot in the door for other Digital Marketing related services.
