Hey @GulpinSculpin , Websites are assets and yes you can buy them, the level of passivity will depend on how well you can manage your systems. For buying content based sites this basically means how well you can systemize content creation and delivery. There is a thread on here where someone...

Hardest part for me was knowing when to stick with an idea and when to drop it. You don't want to have shiny object syndrome and you may just be just a few steps from gold, at the same time, you may not be. It's hard working on something through the desert of desertion and you need to be able to...

Google facebook ad policies, they have a list of things you can't promote. If you can't find what you're looking for then hit the contact button, a facebook rep will tell you if it would violate their policies. Probably better than just running a test ad which may get through and later flagged...

Just saw this thread bump up today and figured I'd throw in my 2 cents for @Andy Black 1 - i think this is definitely something you could sell 2 - i think its a better idea to target excel rather than google sheets since many of the larger companies I've worked with or listened to others talk...

Re: website vs amazon. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Pros to amazon are that the platform is provided for you and it provides a ready to go infrastructure along with access to a market, PPC abilities and probably most importantly TRUST. People will buy things on amazon from unknown...

Also, Are you running amazon ppc?

What's the product price point? Higher priced products will typically have longer cycles and benefit heavily from retargeting. Also, I'd like to caveat my initial post and say that I did not realize you were running the fb ads to amazon vs your own site, as @maverick pointed out your...

Why wouldn't you want to bring people directly to product page if you have a product that is ready to ship? Do you want emails or do you want sales? I suggest running Facebook ads for conversion objective and have them run direct to your product page. You don't need a video for this to get...

Happy Birthday good sir. Thank you again for the wisdom shared!

I purchased my desk from autonomous.ai and couldn't be happier with it. They sell full desks and also just the frames so you can put your own top on it. Best feature is the memory setting and it goes up and down super fast (~3 seconds to go from seated to standing no effort just press 1...

Will give this thread a bump as I think it's a great opportunity for people looking to get experience with development to do it in a focused group like this with some members with entrepreneurial mindset. If someone lurking here is an aspiring app dev with little to no experience then reach out...

@Echni I think it's great you're putting together a peer group to learn coding. Some feedback (from one of those experienced developers you speak of) 1 - I built one app with Flutter at a previous job, we actually did it as a volunteer job for a charity (build them an app), I believe they...

@MightyOwl - Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure how I missed that as now that you point it out I clearly see it in the pricing.

@MightyOwl - How long does it takes for turn around on each design submission? How long does it take for change requests? Couldn't find this info on the site. I'm interested in the idea but only if there are SLAs, I don't want to wait weeks for designs.

Great post @Kung Fu Steve This is timely, I recently got out of a relationship and am dating again, hearing a lot of "I used to be in better shape, gained weight during covid.." - No you gained weight because you have bad habits and don't believe your body is a priceless gift. Covid is an...

For what it's worth I didn't even have the pre-reqs (high school advanced math/pre-cal) to get in, the only reason I got in was because I actually started in a BA (didn't check math pre-reqs) and then switched into CS. I took calculus and just learned as I went. It was actually very motivating...

Highly, highly recommend Ironmasters for anyone looking for adjustable dumbbells. They are pricey but the rolls-royce of adjustable dumbbells, stability of ring locks but with a quick change mechanism. I find powerblocks shakey (and a bit awkward). The ironmasters go up to 120 lbs per dumbbell...

Change is always scary, but important to consider the opportunity cost of staying the present course. I don't know the right answer for you based on your circumstances (ie how long a switch would set you back), but if I was in going to school and choosing a degree right now I would definitely...

Book recommendation: Sovereign Individual written in the 90s (i think?), very accurate predictions of the transition to the information age which have come to pass, scary predictions to come. The predictions seem pretty far out there but make a lot more sense if you look at the world through a...

I graduated computer science and worked in tech for 11 years, primarily with 2 large companies. I am currently working for myself, on my fastlane with a profitable business, I took the leap in July and I was able to because I saved 5+ years of expenses and some seed money by working at a tech...
