    Using Memes in Marketing?

    MARKETING 
    Ah, you're right, my brain just ommited facebook ads for some reason. So there is definitely validation for using memes to market. And yeah, it's definitely not only for younger generations, but the younger someone is, the more likely they are to like memes and be more in tune with the most...

    Using Memes in Marketing?

    MARKETING 
    As most of you know, the marketing industry in the U.S. is a multi-billion dollar industry. Companies are always looking for new ways to market their products and services to new target demographics and expand their market share, which is why I believe the following concept is promising. Some...

    Is there a business registry that allows you to find newly registered businesses?

    Hmmm... I wonder if you could get access to the data from each state and compile it into a search aggregator to make a tool that allows people to do what you're looking to do. Interesting potential website

    It's time for me to stop action faking. -Starting by expanding my toy vending machine business-

    EXECUTION 
    Update: So I followed through and actually executed, but I executed poorly. On saturday I went to four different businesses, but I only went inside 2 and talked to the manager at 1. One of the ones that I didn't even go inside already had machines, so I decided not to encroach on the...

    It's time for me to stop action faking. -Starting by expanding my toy vending machine business-

    EXECUTION 
    I missed the question the first time I read your reply, sorry about that. I don't have a whole lot to compare it to but I think it does pretty well. I need to start doing better record keeping because I'm not exactly sure when I placed the machine, maybe 1.5 - 2 years ago? In that time I...

    How to escape consumerism and have fun without spending money?

    MINDSET 
    I actually respectfully disagree with this saving technique. Assuming you're low income and your main goal is to save money to start a fastlane business and become wealthy, I would suggest doing the opposite of saving a little and spending the rest. I don't make much money right now but I keep...

    It's time for me to stop action faking. -Starting by expanding my toy vending machine business-

    EXECUTION 
    I'm probably the king of action-faking and procrastinating actual action. I'm in a stage of my life where I recently graduated from college, and I'm working my first job. I work in marketing, and I chose marketing specifically because I figured it would give me the most valuable experience...

    The Return of Blogs

    HOT! SOCIAL MEDIA 
    It's weird to me that people are assuming that blogs and social media directly compete. Sure they may indirectly compete for people's time, but I'm pretty confident that they have different purposes and solve different problems. The majority of blogs answer questions or teach you something...

    Scaling eCommerce Chronicle - updating - own product, online shop, amazon - latest weekly profit: 700+

    EXECUTION 
    Well I'm just fresh out of college and I figured I should get a job for a while so I can gain some experience in the working world as well as pay off my loans. I have about $7,500 in loans which isn't too much, but I definitely think I should pay them off before I start with any capital...

    Scaling eCommerce Chronicle - updating - own product, online shop, amazon - latest weekly profit: 700+

    EXECUTION 
    Extremely helpful and valuable thread. I plan to invent a product and market it through similar avenues to yours here. This stuff gets my blood pumping, I love it and want to learn as much as possible before I have the ability to move forward with one of my product ideas.

    Older brother just tried to recruit me into a pyramid scheme LOL

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've got two stories, I'm not sure either of them qualify as full-on MLM's though. One was just a job disguised as a great business opportunity. 1. When I was a freshman in college I was sitting in a large 300-person lecture hall in a class when we had someone come in to pitch to us. The...

    Create Prototype Myself Or Outsource?

    I'm by no means an expert on this, but I do constantly come up with invention ideas, so I've thought about this subject a lot. In addition to what the other people here have suggested, if its a slightly complex idea I would suggest using google sketchup to design a 3D model of your idea so...

    Advice on bootstrapping an invention?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Well, I'm kind of afraid of doing market testing because I'm not sure how much I can disclose about my idea without a provisional patent. If I describe what my product is to potential customers without disclosing specifics can I still lose my ability to patent it? I'm not sure where the line...

    Advice on bootstrapping an invention?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm considering moving forward with one of my 70 ideas for inventions/new services, but there are a few roadblocks I need to clear before I decide to go all in with it. Its a product in the garden/home product industry, and its moderately complex so design and manufacturing costs won't likely...

    Consumerism Rant

    MINDSET 
    That's ridiculous. Like other people have been saying, we're in a culture of immediate gratification, we want things now and don't want to work or wait for them. Thankfully I've been blessed to have awesome parents who raised me right. I was taught that things are much more satisfying when you...
