Hello and welcome! I apologize if I missed this group for almost ten days but I've read and commented on some of the posts. I had a very tough week. 1 - "ESCAPE ROOMS EMPIRE" Has Been a Big Success This launch has taken a lot of time because I decided to record over 5 hours of training to make it the best course on how to create printable escape rooms. This is a big niche. In the end, I made 701 sales, which is great for an Etsy-niche launch. I want to say a great thank you to all the ones who joined and to those who supported my launch as affiliates. Now I'm already working for the next launch, that will be the usual series of prompts, but with great news 🙂 2 - I'M IN ALBANIA! This trip was not a choice. My father reconnected with a lost cousin. The last time they met was... 43 years ago! The Zamboni family has a strange way to connect with family. I'm in Valona (Vlore), that's a wonderful place. So wonderful, I decided to take a home here for rent and today I signed the documents for it. It's a peaceful place with a wonderful sea and kind people. Life costs less, but apart from this, it's also the temperature of 28 Celsius in October and many more factors that let me decide. 3 - SOON A NEW CONTEST! In this month, October 2023, I will soon open a contest. I will let you know the details in the next few days! Thanks a lot, and have a nice day! Alessandro Zamboni

Hi Alessandro and all my Friends here in our very special and treasured Inner Circle! Trust you are all well, happy and healthy. So sorry for dropping off the planet these past few weeks, not long after joining :(. My best friend back home in Bali passed away a few weeks ago, and I seem to have found it quite hard to understand and fathom. Anyway, getting my mind around the fact that he has gone now and that life must go on. Realising also that I must remain the course that I somehow find myself and to not let go of the blessing intersecting lives such as each of yours can have on my own. Looking forward to learning from everyone once again <3.

This place is built only for my best followers and students. It's a secret place where we can talk about anything you want. Inside the Product Creation, Affiliate Marketing, Artificial Intelligence, Etsy, Mindset, and Self-Publishing sections, you can find my best case studies and lessons, and you are free to post anything regarding those topics: questions, answers, ideas, and more. The more you talk, the more points you get, and the higher you can go to grab my bonus courses or special videos that are only available on this platform. The "General Discussion" area is for talking about whatever we want, marketing-related or not. Until you stay, you will get a lot from this inner circle.

Mine is... Ghostbusters. When my dad brought home a VHS, I was entitled to choose the first one to play, and as we were a little bit tight, I decided on Ghostbusters because ghosts have always been part of my family. And I watched it, I think, more than 30 times. It was the unique VHS for a long period, then I rewatched it every time on other formats :)

I'm sorry for the lack of updates and approvals, but I've been in bed with a 40-degree fever and now a cough. While I was in bed, my business couldn't continue for obvious reasons, so I delayed without wanting to give a lot of access to my new "Self Publishing Empire." I know many of you are just getting started, but I want to make things easy for you when you start earning, and I will tell you some truth in this article. When we start out with an idea, we generally create a sole proprietorship, like I did 15 years ago. You are the only worker in your business. You are ill or out of service, and the job doesn't go forward. We don't have paid holidays, and we don't have sick leave. And we also pay a lot of taxes. We don't get a clear check. You have stress, but it's limited to what you really want. If you are tired, you stop; if you are stressed, you read emails a little bit later. And you can't go about $50,000 per month alone. You can work like crazy, but that is the end. So? You can open a company and start getting a social media manager and an email answerer, for example. You can scale things up, but at what price? A company brings you way more stress than a sole proprietorship: people who get sick in the most tragic moment of the year, incomprehensions with your staff, work done in the wrong way just to give you a figurative image. I chose to go down the sole proprietorship path for this reason. I was very ill; I've been operated on times to the head; sometimes I have health problems, but I prefer to manage things professionally and go with my path. I know I will never make $1 million every three months, but if you calculate the taxes, the payments to coworkers, and other problems, you go down a lot. And you have to manage most of it. You become free of your work, but you get another one you should like. Big managers get paid a few for their work, and they bring it home as well. Famous brand names CEOs have this big problem. I hope to have cleared your doubts on which path to take in business. Start alone, and evaluate your position later. You can also use freelancers without having to hire them. Make it easy and stress-free, and great results will arrive.
