    Kitchen Devices Rental Service

    IDEA 
    It's very easy to test. Run Meta lead ads offering X appliance rentals. Ask for name, email, phone number, the dates, and how long they want to rent. Then call them and see if they're ready to pay. If yes, buy the appliances and start renting. A lot more useful than subjective feedback. E.g...

    Where do I begin when trying to write good copy? I could use some advice

    MARKETING 
    Copywriting has been my main skill for many years, here's what I would prioritize now: 1. Targeting. Make sure you are speaking to the right people. Targeting over "the level of copy." I've cringed when some of my clients write a piece of copy themselves. I don't like some of the words they...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I wouldn't abandon it yet. The case study you have is strong. Send 100 DMs on Instagram to coaches selling high-ticket products. It would be a solid test and shouldn't take more than a day. I bet someone/an agency is creating a $50K lead magnet out there. Not saying this is guaranteed to...

    Would you pay the 4k for this flashy guru?

    Not affiliated, just an interesting option: MentorCruise - Connecting Mentors & Mentees Hundreds, if not thousands, of mentors with clear track records.

    Would you pay the 4k for this flashy guru?

    GURUS 
    DO IT! You will either get the secret to getting rich, or you will learn a valuable lesson that's still cheap compared to any business-related university program.

    Best AI "system" to rebuild my e-commerce website?

    - AI - 
    I would never suggest AI for an ecommerce store; too many moving parts. A static landing page? Sure. Use Shopify as the foundation. Then use Claude for copy, layout, content hierarchy, and custom-coded features. Genuinely valuable products and unit economics that make sense > "fancy" Claude...

    Is human-verified business research still worth paying for when ChatGPT exists?

    IDEA 
    Yes, it would be worth paying for, but you're not mentioning something very important - your personal track record/ credibility /social proof. Report from some guy who does reports? Not worth much. Ecommerce conversion optimization report from a guy who's running 3 stores making combined $100K...

    Can a Local Rental Marketplace Compete With a Major Tech Company?

    IDEA 
    I'm working with someone who is building exactly that in a different market, though he has a rather large budget and several developers. Building it is already a challenge; it's not cheap, but let's say you can get the platform built. Then, what could work very well is to contact every rental...

    Gen Z Says This Is the Main Reason They Don’t Date: ‘Feels So Unattainable’

    NEWS 
    This is just wild to say: "Eventually these are going to be so lifelike and real you can't even tell them apart from real girlfriends/boyfriends." Robots will definitely be next-level compared to masturbating alone, but saying a physical robot will ever be close to a real human is insane. You...

    The future of Entrepreneurship in the age of AI (SOFTWARE IS DEAD)

    HOT! - AI - 
    AI is quite more powerful than Shopify, but when the Shopify + AliExpress combo trended, there was an overwhelming amount of new ecommerce businesses. Did it change anything? Not really. Most of them died, and most serious ecommerce stores still heavily customize and source their own products...

    The future of Entrepreneurship in the age of AI (SOFTWARE IS DEAD)

    HOT! - AI - 
    You're just ranting here. The same could be said about literally any time period. Agriculture, steam engines, electricity, internet, AI. Entrepreneurs pivot, adapt, and keep going. Not every entrepreneur is building a software business. Even then, one of my clients is $200k deep into...

    What do you guys understand by dropshipping?

    MARKETING 
    Private label is like the next step after dropshipping. Dropshipping - I sell your product, and you pay me 10% commission. Private label - I buy your product in bulk without labels and/or packaging, relabel/repackage, rebrand, and sell it as if it was "my own."

    What do you guys understand by dropshipping?

    MARKETING 
    Nothing wrong with dropshipping if it's well executed. For example, you can have a business selling modular houses, but instead of manufacturing them yourself, you partner with a manufacturer that pays you a commission for every sale. Then, it's technically dropshipping, as you never touch the...

    Business models that feel grey (gambling, lotteries, raffles)

    MINDSET 
    Isn't it complex to run a lottery/gambling business legally? On paper, sounds super simple - offer an item worth X and sell tickets worth X*10. But I guess that the legal part is what makes it so difficult. Of course, you could also sell lottery tickets and then delete the site, but that's a...

    Can a man build a personal brand around women's underwear?

    MARKETING 
    Your location is set to Bali. There are endless options of models to hire, from local to international, at any price range. It doesn't matter who runs the operations, but I would ensure only women are visible on the website, social media, ads, etc.

    High ticket sales, legit or scam?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Yeah, I wouldn't go for a corporate-style sales role. Probably not easy to land one with no experience. I'd do independent. Basically, every agency needs sales support, and they likely have the lead gen covered. Only problem... It's super competitive. Otherwise, any B2B services would be a...

    High ticket sales, legit or scam?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Not sure who it is you've been following, but it's so easy to get into. If you've got the boldness and charisma, most business owners would benefit from a commission-based salesperson. Just say you're ready to start calling. Learn while doing it (not before).

    Or he needs a ton of capital to continue his studies, and it just makes perfect sense to sell something directly relevant rather than run a construction company on the side. I don't believe it's just a business scheme for him. It's the genuine mission to achieve peak human potential, even if it...

    You're totally missing the point. He's not trying to live forever, he's sacrificing himself in the name of science. Very likely, some of his experiments are actually harmful. He will die, just like every other human, but his work will be studied for decades (if not longer) after.

    Zelse - Win points by getting out of the house!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    I was thinking the points should eventually serve as "money." E.g. exchange points for a discount at a restaurant or an attraction. That seems mathematically tricky, but then they would have actual value.
