    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Great to read about someone from the UK about programming as I have considered learning to program to get a better slowlane job and put myself into a position where I am problem-solving and learning skills that work the entrepreneurial muscles. Just a few questions if you would be so kind as to...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Interesting thread, good to see the debate from people on both sides of the coin too. I've been considering learning UX/UI or coding recently. While I acknowledge that learning these skills will not make you a millionaire, they're good, in demand, and useful skills to have. I've really...

    I will help you find a product to sell on Amazon

    GOLD! 
    Why would you say the ebook is not a value add? If you're looking at fitness equipment as a whole, you're probably right. For example, adding an ebook with a jump rope probably created no additional value for the consumer. But with these myofascial release tools, there are a ton of ways to use...

    I will help you find a product to sell on Amazon

    GOLD! 
    Ok I'll play ball. The product is called the peanut and it is a tool used for myofascial release. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Massage-Ball-Lacrosse-Myofascial-Mobility/dp/B016V5SG4Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503853708&sr=8-2&keywords=peanut+myofascial There are similar products in this niche (foam...

    I will help you find a product to sell on Amazon

    GOLD! 
    Really loving the thread @biophase its proving to be really valuable. I have a product idea that I think will work great and has a definite benefit over the other products available on amazon UK. From what I can see I don't think the sales would be as high volume as perhaps other products in...

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    I have a bit of experience in online marketing, and although I'm not an expert, I expected this to be one of my "strengths". Cost for ads would largely depend on CPC, CTR, CVR etc., I think it's really difficult to determine before hand, but as long as the ROI is positive that's the main thing...

    EXECUTION 
    I had planned on using facebook and instagram ads as well as social media influencers.

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah I completely agree with your last two points and those were concerns I had. A big fear is that after ordering 1000's of units they could be defective which would leave me financially destitute, and also the fact that the aesthetic appeal of a watch is so subjective. The second point can be...

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    Interesting to hear that you wouldn't start a watch brand, I've now heard this from two forum members I greatly respect. Why would you not if you don't mind me asking? Not enough to completely put me off the idea, but it is discouraging to hear this.

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    There definitely are decent quality skeleton watches with automatic movements in this price range already, Rotary is one of the more popular manufacturers that do them. I've not really made any progress today. I value @biophase opinion and hearing someone as accomplished as him in ecommerce say...

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the response Walter, as far as finding an assembler goes, can you find these on the same portals as you would for any imported goods (alibaba etc.)? I bought and read your book a while back and remember that you recommended definitely staying away from alibaba, I can't remember the...

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    Ok so over the past 24 hours I've been doing more research and getting a better idea of what I want my product to look like. Kickstarter has been surprisingly good for this and seeing what watches do well has allowed me to get a feel of what works in this niche. It's no surprise that the bad...

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    It didn't take much to twist my arm into joining :) That's a very interesting thread indeed, and it looks like exclusives88 has had his fair share of challenges along the way. What worries me is the suggestion that his production run was priced at $55k. Obviously a price that it outside of most...

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    I've had a quick search with google and the biggest one in the UK seems to be the midland clock and watch fair. There's not one till October so I've got a little time to continue doing research before then. The good news is that the fair is in my girlfriends home town, although it's still about...

    Starting a watch brand

    EXECUTION 
    Hi All, Following on from some threads and posts I've made recently, and the great replies I have had to them, I am going to get started with a business. You can see the thread that I made the other day here, my main struggle has always been that I have searched for brand new business ideas or...
