Hi, I'm new here. I'm enrolled in Uncle Stef's Mentoring Program. How do I navigate and log into the live biweekly group coaching session? When is the next meeting? Let me know. Thanks!

Hi, will there be a group coaching session tomorrow (Sunday, 18 MAY 24)? IF so, what time does it start and where do I go to sign in to the live meeting tomorrow? Let me know. I'm new here. Thanks! -Tim

Hi! Welcome to the program and the private forum. Please keep in mind: The only thing you should care about is what is in the private club ... the rest of the forum is in archive. To get email notifications from the forum, if you want to track conversations or for example, when a next zoom meeting is happening, be sure to whitelist in your email program the forum's email address: community@killersites.com gmail will block forum emails and there is nothing that can be done for now. If you have a non google email address, use that. Here is how I whitelisted the forum emails with gmail ... which routes emails sent to my studioweb.com email account: I will be posting more FAQs in this forum. Stef

Here to rid myself of my fear of coding, and coming from the classic sysadmin/operations background. Excited to get busy!

In light of AI, I was wondering if the courses will be updated in terms of AI material.

Hi Uncle Steph, I believe you did. Thank you so much for that, and nice (internet) meeting you by the way.

Hi. I think we resolved this. Right?

Hi everyone It appears that my credit card, which I purchased a monthly subscription of the mentoring program with, has ran out of credit. my question is after I put some money in the credit card how can I renew my subscription to the mentoring program or how can I buy 2 or 3 more months of subscription to the mentoring program because I cannot find any place on the platform where I can do so? I know that this might be a dumb question and this may not be the place to post such a question but please forgive me for that and thank you very much in advance.

Hello, I am currently going through all the coureses in the mentorship program and wanted to ask if there is any material that covers data structures and algorithms. -Jason

Answering your questions with question to give a better answer in the future: What is your goal for the new IG account? Are looking to solely capitalize or create work your passionate and then monetize it? Content strategies should be centered around your intent: Are you selling a product or service? If so create content around that. Are you generating social interest to see what pain or solutions others need? This is a great topic but their a few answers that you have to personally decide on; then you can narrow it down.

No experience but here are my logical business opinions: Experience in their space Customer Onboarding(sales), satisfaction, retention Operations/Workflow Talent development

I have found that there are only 2 ways Increase the size of said funnel. You want to get to the point where you go from 100 leads to 1,000 and then 10,000 every month. Because if you're only fortunate enough to close 1% of those leads, then you go to 1, 10, and 100 sales per month. Increase you're skill and execution at each step in the funnel. You must get incrementally better at marketing, cold calling/elevator pitching, networking, demo meetings, closing, asking for referrals and delivery.

It's similar to different Pizza restaurants: it's all about preference, timing and availability. Meta owns Facebook and Instagram, and both platforms have code that allows them to easily update each other but some ppl just share on one more than another. I feel neutral about them all and only care about: How they work How my target audience uses them How I can 'M&M' (market and monetize) from each

The two that I have seen work the best are A reward system Success stories A reward system encourages customers to keep on purchasing for something at the end. Restaurant companies track your order through points and each point tier offers a little kick back in the form of a free item. 'buy 10 pizzas and your next on is free' or 'earn 100x loyalty points this Holiday weekend' Success stories allow the customers to empathize with other ppl or themselves and then take action based on that feeling; "John knew that he could take his Web Development to the next level so he applied for Uncle Stefs mentor program... Within 6 months of mentoring he was making 2x more per contract in his freelancing business and had increased his sales pipeline by 40%".

Honestly, you shouldn't. All creation should include or lead to a promotion; and all promotion should need to the next creation. The only thing you're selling is 'attention' (why am I watching your content versus someone else). Once you have done that then you can lead me to your watering hole with all your services and products.

Without data or experience, my educated guess is SEO. Email marketing requires specific targeted approaches and the Exchange/Mail server medium you have to conquer before eyes are on your marketing message. SEO only needs interest in a topic. If I sell ballons and understand how each search engine works, I can craft ads to put my balloon business within radar and play the law of large numbers for traffic. With email, I have to already be doing business with my client to even remotely have a chance of them not hitting the spam/quarantine button on the email client. The highest return on investment is getting very good at both so that traffic from SEO is converted to positive email cycles which is then converted into customer engagement and sales. A whole lot of work but EXTREMLY profitable over the course of a decade. I've been buying pizza from Pizza Hut and Dominoes because they did a decent job of getting me in from their email ONLY after my 'Pizza open near me' SEO search brought them as the top two within view on many an alcoholic night, lol.

Welcome Jason! Have you signed up for Uncle Stef's fundamentals programs yet? What inspired you to learn about web dev?

What are some interesting problems that you are finding as you are marketing yourself as a Web Dev & Engineer? I'm working on helping setup a client setup their Shopify account and was amazed at the opportunity I have to configure things for them. Before we met, they had been struggling with this for multiple years! I'm finding that all my knowledge is useless unless it helps solve a problem for the client. These can be the technical issues as well as operational and psychological?

Hello! My name is Jason. I am 36 years old and am attempting to transition into web devevlopment. I am hoping to learn and grow frim this mentorship1 -Jason

Hi Uncle Steph and everyone, I'm going through the HTML course right now, but I've stumbled across some kind of problem. The problem is that in the images lessons when I use the same images code as Uncle Steph laid out in the video, my web browser doesn't seem to be able to fetch or show the image. And I've double checked the code many times and it's exactly the same images code as was used in the lessons number 6, 7, and 8 videos. Sorry for this really beginner and maybe dumb question thank you very much

A question for anyone and everyone with some experience in web development. The background: The online Bachelor of Science in Computing program - from the University of London and Coursera - offers a number of "specialisms" in different branches of software engineering. Being honoured as a specialist on one's degree means meeting certain course requirements in the final year of study. For the web development specialism, one requirement is a course in 3D graphics. This course entails learning Unity, the current number one ranked game development engine for independent game developers. The language is C#; this is used for scripting, so the actual application of C# is very limited. My question: How applicable - if at all - is this skill to web development in the real world? It seems to me: hardly at all. IMHO it would be more practical to learn PHP, or a lot of other things. As an aside, I have yet to find any academic institution that teaches PHP. Randy

Thanks for your feedback! Jorge

Do you think minimalism in web design is being over-pushed, or is it truly the timeless aesthetic we need? Share your thoughts on whether this trend holds up in practical scenarios, especially when balancing aesthetics with user functionality. Is it a one-size-fits-all solution, or are there projects where a more complex design scheme actually works better?
