Thursday Night Live - There Will Be PDF's!

PDF's!!

Been ranting about the Lukes Alive for an age and an eon now, and glad to hear you have a rant about it as well.

It is infruriating and to be honest I dont even look at those posts/tweets any more. I only look at the challenges if they offer something of value in their post.

I Love having my Auto Responder and I dont know what I would do without split testing

the only thing people should be promoting is themselves through their Newsletter.

Having a budget is primary and am again so happy that I have allocated a budget for my business

Right from the get go I created a seperate entity fr my business and have stuck with that, a big mistake that some owners make, thats business owners not just site owners, is that they integrate their income into their peraonal accounts and then it goes pear shaped because there is no seperation

Great show

I've started to audit myself and analysed all my expenses when I was at university because I didn't have much to live on and then managed to keep this habit throughout all my life. Today, I work much less than everybody else because I need much less to live than everybody else...

thank you Jon (@jongolson) for adding me as beneficiary of this post.

This was a good show, and I was in live!!! Yaaaay!!!

A good rant at the beginning makes the rest of the show even better :)

This show was needed. Thank you guys for your brutal honesty, always. The only people who get turned away from this are the ones who were not ready to hear the truth and that is on them, not you. Keep telling it like it is!

Great show Jon, and a nice rant, I agree that the postings people make needs to improve, when I started hunting for Luke myself I wrote about my llist forst and then shared how each TE was with conversions, have not really had the time to do that myself in quite a while, so I will try to do that a few times per week and show how to do it and lead by example.

This is Awesome Thanks for the Info , I am going to work on this and see where I can cut out some expenses and help me in my online Budget.
