I do a lot of landing page designs for clients. Here are some successful pages I can show: http://www.codedpreview.com/previews/68ce03ad/ http://www.codedpreview.com/previews/78709ad6/ http://www.codedpreview.com/previews/f2658514/ h

I have several friends who have successfully gone on and off of the polyphasic sleep cycle. Just as with most things in life, you need to be open and willing and dedicated to make it work. This relates to forging your way with a startup, ga

I can appreciate how effective these methods are, but I personally don't like the idea of stripping one of the enjoyable things in my schedule down to how efficient it is. Working hard is great, but I think there is such thing as too much o

Watching this movie makes me proud of my new business, whose focus is reforestation and funding education in underprivileged areas via philanthropic consumerism.

Thanks for so many comments guys. Really proves to me how great a community HN really is, especially seeing someone link my post up. That said, let's get to discussion. The purpose of the post was for my own benefit, but I felt like many pe

I think his viewpoint is a tad pretentious, and what we’re seeing here is really a company who is afraid to put itself in a new position, be it out of fear or some sort of analytical paralysis that says if it’s new, it might not work. I thi

Spend the money and get your Aeron, or something of equal quality. I use the Steelcase Think. Your chair is one of the biggest factors in how many hours you are able to work, how well or poorly your back is aligned, and how comfortable you

The LP's I do take roughly 60-90 minutes. When I'm not focusing on school, I can log on to IRC or AIM and find a day's work within 30 minutes if I don't have any lined up before. $175 in that time frame adds up. I fill my role well.

I should clarify how I go about introducing the idea to a client. I don't say anything about it at all or even mention it in email. There is simply space on the invoice labeled for any additional bonus if they would like to. Some people bit

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but what freelancer isn't freelancing for the money? From my experience, most (not necessarily all) are freelancing as a transitional period from working full time to self-employment in a startup or in betwee

It's the equivalent of 'shut up and get it done.' I partially agree. It's great to think things through, but things have a habit of happening when you are in the act of doing rather than thinking of what to do.

I disagree with the "nearly impossible to obtain" concept. That's suggesting they're something special or inhuman that your average person can't obtain, while it's quite the contrary. 37S is a great example f what busting your ass can accom

VCs are looking more for people that are worth investing in rather than ideas. Good people can execute on any idea. Sorry to be blunt.

I make a pretty penny designing polls and other landing pages for my clients. Polls are mostly effective on the 'less educated' and 'younger' demographics because most people worth their weight in anything know that it's just a pre-sell on

Anyone hoping for a drastic change withing a month or two needs to focus more on diet than exercise routine. There are so many misconceptions involving working out and weight loss & muscle definition. It's borderline depressing.

I've decided it's best to gradually increase rates, which is what I am doing. It takes longer to build up to the 'plateau' level, but there is more security, which is important because any growth I have right now would just be icing on the

As a direct example: the forum I go to (while I won't say its name) is tailored for people who make money through advertising. In their IRC they talk about advertising and I went in looking to just make friends with them and to let them kno

With a name like MightyBrand, while I think you've got a solid design already, it just doesn't come across to me as something bold enough to sport the name 'MightyBrand'. I'd look to add bold, heavy, red coloring rather than orange. The whi
