I've just started using cash and the difference in spending is huge.

yeah, that's a good distinction

yep, probs true

Website page showing a button saying "Email for more info"

I noticed something weird

On my ghostwriting sales page, people always book a video call to get more information.

Whereas on my freelance SEO page, everyone emails me. I've not had anyone book a call on that page.

I guess small businesses still prefer email?

ha, no - someone else

there's definitely time to spend money on things but he uses an example of spending extravagantly on shoes, for example, which just doesn't resonate with me.

I guess I'm more experiences > things

oh man, i read about his divorce. It seems like a massive downside of fame that it's even public knowledge.

I gotta be honest, I like Sethi's personality but I dont remember him talking about frugality. I think the danger is the 1-2 things you enjoy blow your budget 😀

who organised it? Is there another one happening?

I was either disorganised or bought into the Ramit Sethi stuff which is a bit more "if it feels good, do it!" when it comes to spending

I think I know who you're talking about and yes, there is so much "but he's a great entrepreneur!" excusing going on

I've come back to the Mr Money Mustache way of thinking

Be frugal, save money and invest the rest

Ha, well it’s cheap but ok ☺️

Yeah, reach out yourself and have a sponsorship page on your website

At least $200 per issue

Go for people who want to reach your audience - ask chatgpt “I have a ux/ui newsletter so what companies sponsor this?”

I have a video course on this if you’re interested and I’m updating it soon with an ebook

You can definitely sell ads

He just focused on one thing for a few years

I'm not a fan of AI profile pics

When I make profiles for ghostwriting clients, the photo is one of the first things I look at and the more natural, the better.

One of my ghostwriting clients changed his profile pic so it's clear who he is and it looks so much better now! Trust is everything.

Depends where you live - not everyone lives in America

lame - not really worth my time to point out how you're wrong but have a good evening

29 and retired.

That's my friend. He made an online business about 5 years ago, worked really hard and sold it for mid-six figures.

He's now making art all day and has left the tech world behind.

FIRE doesn't seem so bad, does it?

Someone just recognised me in a cafe because I'm the first result for "SEO Edinburgh"

Is this fame?

No autographs!

Where is that? 😅

thanks! I think the room has been too hot

thanks, yeah good idea. I think eating earlier might help

Any sleep tips?

I can’t get no sleep 😴

Did you know you get 3 months of YouTube Premium for free with a LinkedIn Premium account?

The only drawback is you need to have a LinkedIn account

Nope, not so far

I’m European and I don’t know what either of those mean

Any budgeting app recommendations for UK users ?

What I need

• web app
• adding several bank accounts
• categories

Pete and Diego working in cafe

Nice spot of coworking with my new friend Diego

If anyone in Edinburgh is up for regular cafe coworking (no calls) then let me know 😎

I hear Mamdani is real good at that
