    I told a client I could update his website.....now what?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    The main thing is to find out about his current and potential customers. Everything you do should be with the customer in mind. You don't need to make it fancy, maybe interactivity isn't even something customers would be interested in. You just have to make it easy to use for current customers...

    Looking at starting a Digital Marketing Agency.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I haven't started an agency, but I watched a video by this guy Sebastian Ghiorghiu on YouTube and he said his agency doesn't charge clients unless the ads he runs for them actually get results. I thought that was a really smart way to go about it, at least to start.

    Should I move out of California?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think biophase was asking some good questions. It honestly sounds like you're focusing on things that don't really have that much of a direct impact on you currently. There are other cities to move to with less homelessness and safer looking streets if that's an issue. (There are also...

    Does Success intimidate you?

    MINDSET 
    If you feel fear about something that hasn't happened, you're looking too far into the future. Focus on the present and the challenges you're dealing with now. If it's something you feel uncertain about, remember to break down what you feel success means into smaller and smaller parts until it's...

    (17M), HS dropout, lost, what now?

    CHAT 
    If you're feeling unfulfilled don't think just about making money, think about who you might be able to help and what problems in the world around you do you think you can help solve. Perhaps you can do that with gym wear and supplements, I don't know, but you should focus on a real need that's...

    Hello, I'm an Aspiring 16-year-old Entrepreneur

    INTRO 
    Sounds like you're pointed in the right direction. I can't offer much advice as I'm still trying to figure this stuff out myself (at my "advanced" age). But regarding if you should do dropshipping, perhaps if you're making money from it fine, but in the long-term, maybe you should think about if...

    Blue Ocean Strategies/ Biz Models in 2022

    QUESTION 
    Creating augmented reality experiences might be one perhaps. There are lots of potential opportunities for how it can be integrated into various types of businesses, but it needs to be made easier to use. As long as people have to download an app or do any type of special configuration, it won't...

    Best side hustle for college student?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Online tutoring high school students in the field you're studying (Please tell me you're in a STEM field) English language classes for foreign students (Lots of websites for that) Offer copywriting, editing or design services on Fiverr (or whatever you have the most talent for)

    Let's Play a Game: Brainstorming Boring Business Ideas

    IDEA 
    Considering the climate change issues we're facing... 1. Home water storage systems sales and installation 2. Car port coverings (any sort of coverings around homes and businesses to help beat the heat) 3. Solar power and home generators. (In Texas we've had serious issues with the reliability...

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    What do you find "easiest" to do? While you shouldn't necessarily just do what's easy, you'll probably excel more doing something you find relatively easy compared to something that you feel is hard from the start. I actually think coding is relatively easy for me compared to other things I...

    E-commerce Business Treading Water - Looking to Bring It New Life

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    What exactly is your value skew? Why are people buying remotes from you as opposed to someone else? Is it just cheaper? Is there a product bundle or service you can add on to increase the value? Perhaps IR receivers, speakers, antenna, etc.

    What Would Your Passion Business Be?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    One of my passions would be in creating robotics. I see a lot of potential to create non-lethal robots for the police and military that could help save lives. I'd need to go back to school to get a mechanical engineering degree to really explore that field, which is tough.

    If someone offered you a CEO job for millions, would you take it?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I would definitely take it. I'm way too far behind where I want to be in life right now and don't see any clear path forward from where I am. So yes, if someone offered me an opportunity like that, I'd jump at it. I don't care if I had to move across the country or move across the world, live in...

    Starting off with a risky idea.

    IDEA SOURCING 
    Have you identified your target market/your ideal customer? Is this a problem that many people have? Of the people who have this problem are they truly hungry for your solution? I have dual monitors myself, but the gap never really bothers me. However I also don't do gaming on it. You said that...
