    Does this forum have paid members?

    No, I don't think that's what OP is asking for (people paying for privileged forum access). OP is asking (I think) if people are paid to post... because he (she?) apparently can't believe people could offer so much value for free. :)

    Can I start a generic/umbrella LLC if I don’t know exactly what I want to focus on?

    As others have said, in most cases, and in most jurisdictions, you can run multiple different businesses under the same legal entity, and there's no need for an officially registered DBA (Doing Business As). But if you want to register your DBA(s) as well, the requirements vary greatly...

    Does everyone struggle to learn code?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm not a CS major... heck, I can't even write a single line of code to save my life :) But when I read @lowtek's comment, I did not understand him to imply that JavaScript is not a valuable language in the marketplace... but that, as a first language, and especially for someone learning on...

    Help me understand this blog model

    What Greg said. Even if you don't intend to buy, you'll learn a ton more and much quicker by putting on a buyer's lens and doing the same due diligence as you would if you wanted to buy... than sitting back passively and sniffing other people's noses. And if you're completely new to this, a...

    How do you know they are "high-converting" then?

    [SOFTWARE DEV] Please recommend how I should manage multi-customer custom-made websites.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    IF YOU'RE NOT in this "side business" for the long haul, for Pete's sake please consider your side business client's investment... and use a tech stack that's easily transferrable... so these clients don't have to lose their investment and start over (or incur huge porting costs ) when the time...

    What type of website/software/provider ?

    This. If for no reason at all, so you'd know the right questions to ask to help you move forward. Even if you're going to hire a developer to do your bidding, and I'll argue especially if you're going to hire a developer, you need to understand industry fundamentals so can clearly articulate...

    How about $13,000/year giving out your poo for science? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/01/29/you-can-earn-13000-a-year-selling-your-poop/

    Anybody using GreenGeeks webhosting?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Unless you're setting out to sell something from day one and pushing a shitload of paid traffic to it, just about any hosting service will do if you're just starting out. I find people get hung up on this too much. Just make sure to get your domain name and hosting from different vendors, and...

    Time and Material Scope for Build of Simple WordPress Site

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    You mentioned client wants a "quick landing page in Optimize Press". Yet you're asking "What is the absolute lowest price that you guys would charge to set up a simple WordPress site?" Are you just building out an OptimizePress landing page in an existing WordPress site? Or are you setting up...

    Learn How To Consistently Close More Clients - Without Being 'Salesy' (Even If You Are Completely New To Sales)

    MARKETPLACE 
    My thought as well. One would expect the expert marketing coach to know intuitively that no matter the medium or platform, connecting with your audience before making a pitch would always yield better results. Oh, well!

    Pet treat business feedback humbly requested

    I don't live in the US, and I don't have any personal experience with this industry anywhere in the world. But I know an American chap doing something similar in another entrepreneurial community where I hang out, and from what I can recall from that thread, there certainly are regulations and...

    Making a news aggregator and I would love to hear all your thoughts on it

    I don't read the news at all... but I find it hilarious that helping you to develop your news aggregator is considered an "opportunity". This must be unique indeed! :smile2: For what it's worth, I tried completing your survey. It won't let me submit without giving an email address, even though...

    Hi everyone,

    INTRO 
    Welcome to The Fastlane Forum, @Myambas. I'm from Ghana, but spent about a year volunteering across several southern African countries, including Zambia, way back in 2005. Lots of fond memories! There are lots of good resources in the forums and amazing people here who are able and willing to...

    Lead Management / CRM

    In my previous MSP business, I started with Autotask and later moved to ConnectWise. These are full-blown Professional Services Automation(PSA) suites for the Managed Services Professional (MSP) industry and not mere contact managers though. Right now I'm still in the planning phase and I...

    Thoughts on luxury service? Videographer who travels with you and makes a video of your experience

    Or become a "rat" (as Ben often jokes about his video guy) and attach yourself to one rich and eccentric family (as opposed to going from gig to gig) that wants to show off their high living and family drama to the world on YouTube :hilarious: See Ben Mallah's Life For Sale on the Koncrete...

    Complaint CMS IDEA

    IDEA 
    How is this different from existing helpdesk/ticketing software and case management solutions out there? OK, so your "Complaints Management System" is actually a human-powered service... and not a software or SaaS platform for businesses to use to manage their customer complaints. I'm having...

    With a little time on my hands, I saw your post and wanted to jump in to help. But I'm holding back, not because you're asking for free help, but because... You've not taken the time to even introduce yourself to the community as the welcome message you got upon signing up suggested. I'm...

    Fastlane High School Business Academy

    Just a gentle reminder: if you're going to succeed at this, don't ignore the politics. You want to be sensitive to where many of the teachers and school execs are, so you don't swing the pendulum too far beyond their ability to comprehend... and invite a revolt. I'm reminded of a story in 2005...
