    What are your favorite highly specialized skills OTHER than coding?

    MINDSET 
    I think it's pretty well known that coding is the "go-to" when it comes to the skill to learn through udemy and to start something on the side. I'm curious what are some of your favorite lesser known ones? There are entire subreddits dedicated to learning web design and plenty of people doing...

    How a broke 20 year old college dropout started making 6 figures a year with code ( and you can too )

    INTRO 
    I'm interested in this part. How are you going to continue to grow at this rate? And perhaps you will discuss in your next post, but are you going to be hiring a team? Do you keep charging more? And, I may be misunderstanding, but you are with a company right now and are not running your...

    It infuriates me when some company sells my cell phone number to marketing/political groups. I don't know what company sold my info, but starting about 4-5 days ago I have started getting 5-10 texts a day and 3-5 phone calls from unknown numbers about politics. Spam email is one thing, but my...

    Taking an Existing Product and Marketing it More Effectively

    MARKETING 
    Not sure. I think I might have found one of the main components on alibaba, but there is still some more manufacturing done internal to the casing I believe. I just don't know. I guess I could just buy one and crack it open.

    Taking an Existing Product and Marketing it More Effectively

    MARKETING 
    What do you do if you find a product that you think is a great idea, but the marketing seems to be terrible? There is an idea I had for a product that I think would be extremely helpful in a specific niche. After some internet search...crap. It's already been done....but wait. It's been...

    Sorry I missed my deadline, forum posting was never part of my business. I saw this update on the website, not sure when it was posted. That black text is plastered across every page right in the middle. I re-read through this entire thread again....there were plenty of requests to close...

    This really got to me today. This popped up on my LinkedIn feed. I hate this culture of congratulating people on staying put at one place for years of their life. There are very few people that see this post up on their timeline and think "hell yeah, 16 years of my life!" And then all the...

    Didn't think this was worth a whole thread, but what type of programming language do you have to know for a site like draw.io? I have a niche idea for something like this but would also do some calculations as you adding things to the drawing, and the ability to modify those base values as a user.

    Is that an insider only feature? My options stop after the unanswered header.

    Ever since the forum was redesigned, I've never been able to figure out how to filter and only read the gold threads and notable threads. Was that option removed? Maybe I'm just blind, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to just find those tags.

    Anyone Code to Automate Tasks for Clients?

    I've dabbled with web development and done a few html/css courses but it never really seemed to grab me. The one time I really get motivated and excited about a project is when I'm automating a task. Just small things like writing batch files to automate folder creation, or creating a script...

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    So could any of these unsexy type businesses be run during off hours (5pm-midnight)? I feel like most require in person work, which (unless it's an emergency) is done during normal working business hours. Just curious.

    I actually had a few private DM conversations with Eric (near the beginning of the thread) because I make holiday truffles every year and have always been asked by people if they could buy some. I got hung up in the issue of renting a commercial kitchen to meet health standards. But I'm the...

    Running a business 100% during off-hours

    Is there any type of business out there you can run 100% during off hours? If you only ran it in your spare time (late night/early morning) how would you handle customers? Would it knock out most service based businesses and force you more into a product creation/delivery type business?

    Flipping Land

    Has anyone ever toyed with this? Back in the day I used to listen to the Land Geek podcast and also read a good amount on REtipster. The Land Geek was a bit over the top with his character and was more interested in selling his course than teaching, but it was interesting. REtipster started...
