    Buy a float tank. Change your life.

    NOTABLE! 
    This is one of the reasons I'm not a Tim Ferriss fan, trying to put all these complex things with so many variables into nice neat black and white boxes just doesn't work in the real world... You can't hack this sort of stuff, some of the deepest introspective states i've gotten into have been...

    How We Got A 251% ROI With One Instagram Promo

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Hey, I hope you don't take offence as this is meant as a compliment not a criticism but does this not seem like a waste of time to you? You did a kickstarter and made 320k worth of sales in 30 days and now you are trawling instagram, manually creating lists, spreadsheets, emailing page owners...

    Buy a float tank. Change your life.

    NOTABLE! 
    I dod my first float yesterday, it was interesting but honestly I prefer a hot tub. I got lucky and found a place a 2 minute walk away from me in Venice beach which is only 40 dollars for 2 hours, it's actually the place Joe Rogan used to go I believe, Float labs. There are a few reasons I...

    Buy a float tank. Change your life.

    NOTABLE! 
    I've said it many times to all my friends, something similar to this changed my life! When I lived in Ireland I was living on the top of a mountain with amazing views and no neighbours or noise, I bought a hot tub just to because it seemed like a cool idea, I got a deal on a display one and it...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Fedex (and all courier/freight companies) charge a fee for preparing the import documents and working out the correct stat code, that's the difference. A little trick for getting around the vat on shipping expenses is just to ask the supplier to issue you two seperate invoices, one for the...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    I'm Irish and know the laws and system there. First of all its such a small sum it would never get picked up on but more importantly the majority of what you paid was VAT, this isn't "taxable" revenue, it's direct sales tax. You should register for vat and you claim the 200 (or 40 from Pakistan)...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    @Vick I just read the entire 58 pages! Really enjoyable, I'm glad that the copycat didn't make you delete the thread, I'm sure that it's not nice to see but his pathetic attempt to copy will have zero effect on your business, it's not even as if he has tried to copy your glasses, they are...

    Great documentary

    This is one of my favourite documentaries about three people from the Uk and their attempt to "get rich in china", it's pretty old so quality isn't great but very entertaining and anyone who has dealt with chinese factories and cultural differences will understand unfortunately this seems like...

    Found out the products I'm selling on my website are on Amazon/Ebay

    I don't think anyone here can conclusively answer if using more exciting descriptions will make this a viable business for you but you have said yourself you dont have the capital to import now. The commodities you have are your time and knowledge so use your time to increase your knowledge by...

    Pro Bodybuilder working for free

    INTRO 
    Unfettered, I think you are jumping the gun a bit and being overly harsh, first of all he said "a matter of months" which to me means anything less than a year, he also said fitness model and not bodybuilder, he's a bodybuilder, there's a big difference... I don't think its an absurd claim to...

    Branded Boxes?

    It think it's impossible for us to say without knowing your sector, product and target market. If it's an expensive beauty product aimed at women and you're looking for repeat business instead of once off purchases then yes I think full branded box is very important, if youre selling novelty bbq...

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Don't take your foot off the gas just because you're a big fish in a small pond or ahead of your peers, turning your back on what got you where you are today for just one year can open the market you're dominating to new hungry competition and you can become stale and out of fashion very quickly...

    Patent application exists detailing my invention

    A patent applied for but abandoned means you cant apply for a patent on the idea but you can sell the product. There is an 18 month secret window when patents can be applied for and not published so if it was more than 18 months ago that it was applied for there can be no non published patents...
