"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I recently read 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. He says to always attract attention to yourself ( or in this case my business). It's basically and app which gives real-time news on CryptoCurrency and Blockchain market in less than 60 words. Any ideas?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You had me at 'blockchain'!

Twitter is a good place to mingle and see what happens. There's plenty of crypto/blockchain oriented stuff on there.

Drawing attention to your products seems to be a matter of creating relevant content and getting eyes on social media such as twitter, FB, instagram and the like. All of these self proclaimed experts are pumping their material all over FB ( advertisements), and getting all sorts of good and bad attention. For developers who want to free lance, source say you should have open source projects, and do webcasts and blogs about solving real problems. Basically show via example that you can solve the problem. Beyond the basics, I am not well versed thus its something that will likely take a lot of trial and error. How do you differentiate your offerings from the 100000 other ones out there? Seems like any idiot who rode the wave up has an opinion...

True, one idea which i have noticed is starting to work is attending meetups and events, befriending people and getting them to know about the offering. A tricks Charlatan in 19th century Europe used to use were ...create a lot of noise, bring in fun and laughter ( probably in some cases food and drinks ) and get people to buy the dud potions at a really high price. Although my offering is not dud, i think this kind of trick can still be used to market the product to a large audience.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Hello!
I have also recently started my own business. I design and produce some clothes for kids. Currently I've been working on creating my own website, cause Etsy and Vinted turned out to be not enough. So I've downloaded a pre-designed TemplateMonster theme from their official website https://www.templatemonster.com/ and try to customize it according to my needs. When my website is up and running, I'll attract the custommers through Instagram and FB

My first suggestion would be to quit reading books like 48 laws of power.

Because trying to manipulate people for your own gain/power never works in the long term. Well, I mean, if you want to be an evil dictator, sure, go for it.

I've always held the view that in order to do a new business or entering a new market it's not your company or product that you are selling.

What u r selling is yourself 1st.

Company, products etc etc ain't important.

I'd would go around and market myself, meaning I would meet people, talk to them etc etc. Make them like me. The rest will follow through. It always does.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Get Word to Mouth.

Create a Buzz... your APP is a Twitter for Crypto... so what's can you ''add'' to be relevant to your target audience and a buzz....

You mentionned ''sounds''.... maybe make a ''dollar cashing everytime there is a news?''

What I know about Crypto: It attract people who need money, People who loves IT (technology), People who want to create money

If you don't have mobile application, I recommend to create it. It benefits for business business: provide more value to your customers, build a stronger brand, showcase services & products. Mobile application development has significantly improved the way people communicate and business transpires in the modern world, so you can use this tool for you. For example I start with Android application. My startup is online trading platform. I worked with Intellectsoft software developing company for it creation(https://www.intellectsoft.net/services/mobile-development). Their engineers have big experience in this industry and can develop any type of web or mobile app.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Attracting new clients to your business really depends on what certain type of it you have, the size of your company and your current budget (because for example professional marketing isn't a cheap thing at all).
Anyway the most effective ways for this in general are:
- understanding who are your ideal clients (it's always easier to find the new ones if you know the type of customers you seek, concentrate on your target audience before adding and selling new products/services)
- finding where your consumers live (you need to know where to seek for you target audience, for example offline or online, through media or mail etc., and which marketing strategy will be the most effective according to such locations)
- using various types of new technology (there are a lot of types of software for business with diagnostic analytics for example, including different applications which are now one of the most popular and effective tools for increasing your sales and finding new consumers)
- having knowldge about all your business pros and cons (you need to understand your industry/sphere, your products or services for attracting the customers, also such high level of knowledge always increases the customers' loyalty for your company/brand)
