Hack it up in Ruby on Rails, and if it works and you start to get considerable traffic, do it in Go.

Nice, even though it did feel like getting slapped. Shame i guess, because I haven't been going b*lls deep, 120% into my ish. This did somewhat change my thinking on investment though, so thanks for that.

The fun thing about mental hangups is that they usually dissipate once you accept those mental hangups. So first learn to accept that you give a f*ck when you shouldn't. If you can't accept that, accept that you can't accept that you give a f*ck when you shouldn't and work from there. Yeah...

That may be true johnj, but then I've seen atrociously sales lettery sites with legendary copy, and they still get me itchy to buy whatevers advertised there. He should worry about some meticulously crafted copy and then about the design. Make a small, clean design and put the copy in. Do some...

So essentially your USP (Unique selling proposition) is that you have drivers which can speak several languages and are going to get you from A to B to C with the least hassle. It's a good USP, so go from there. Formulate the USP into a proper sentence that says what your benefit it right away...

Depends on what kind of stuff you're trying to sell.

I'm trying to write a little program in order to semi-automate form filling, and I have a rough idea on how I can do it with the WebBrowser control. Now I want to show the site whilst the filling is done, and here my understanding breaks down. I'm using the GTK# libraries for the GUI, but I have...

The WebBrowser controll is essentially Internet Explorer wrapped up.

Here's the news: Facebook just implemented a feature which lets you pay money in order to get you posts on top of your friends wall. Source is that is just asked me whether I wanted to. I speculate that this Feature will bring both benefits and downsides to you facebook advertusing. The...

You should get a good autoresponder sequence. Free 5 day course with useful information transistioning into a full blown product? Jackpot. The longer your autoresponder sequence draws itself out, the better. I've known of marketers who have autoresponders that stretched 2 YEARS. Not 2 Weeks, not...

What I find really nice is bulky mail. If you can make the flyer stand out as something more than a flyer, something to keep, people are more likely to keep it in their heads, and therefore more likely to convert. I assume a lot of the people in that area have kids (might be wrong), so you...

Hey fellow Black Hatters, I've recently come across this downright awesome persuasion tactic, and even though it was somewhat "confidential", I'll still stick my neck out an share it with you. It makes the "wanna do this" because " something " tactic you all proably know look like childs...

Even though you're proably better of with too long. Ever read a sales letter, decided midway through that you need it and scrolled down to the buy button? Yeah, that's "too long copy", even though the lenght at which this "screw the rest i'm buying" differs between people, so you'll...

To Thatotherguy: Telling copywriters to write copy thats only a page long, if there's no physical restrictions to it is like telling a door to door salesman that he may only talk for 30 seconds, no matter how the prospect responds. If your copy is any good, your prospect should be so enthralled...

To be honest, I would make his pay relative to conversion you get. Get him to tell you what amount of conversion he expects from the copy and pay him 1000 $ upfrront for the copy, and the rest depending how close he got to his prediction, ergo if he predicts 5% conversion, and only brings in 4%...
