    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Correct, selling makes you money, learning to code wastes your time. No they are not. I know a ton of broke programmers. I don't know one person that has learned copywriting skills and practices them regularly that is broke.

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    That is not what I suggested. You do due diligence on ANYONE you hire, you make sure they have extremely strong credentials, rankings, ratings or advice from others that this person is TOP NOTCH. You interview them, you explain the 10,000 foot view of your project and you ask their opinions...

    Is that how you hire an attorney? You learn the basics of corporate structure, non-disclosure agreements, contract law, then you go hire an attorney. Don't tell me it is completely different. It ISN'T.

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I coded my my first project at HRA.net myself, and as a guy that has written code for 30+ years, I can assure you what we got away with in the late 1990's up to about 2003, would not even get a second look today or be tolerated. It was the wild west, no running water and the train had not made...

    and EVERYONE on your list had YEARS of programming experience when they wrote their code. Nobody on the list learned to code their app 3 months ahead of time, then they ALL struggled until they got hooked up with someone that helped them market, either an incubator, VC or marketing partner...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    People try and justify learning to code by saying they don't have enough money to pay for app development. (and when I say app I mean any computer/web/phone code). If you learn to write copy, you can sell an affiliate product, or just write good text ads and make enough to pay for your app...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I still don't understand why people here want to learn to code! Spend that time learning to market and write sales copy. Spending 1000 hours to learn to code to spend 200 hours writing an app is STUPID. Spend the 1000 hours learning to market and write copy, and you can use that skill for...

    PUBLISHING 
    You can't use character dialogue or images from Snow White, but if you go to the book store there are 20 different versions of Snow White, because the "tale" is public domain.

    Forget Creating An App. Make Money Flipping Them Instead!

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Just send them a message that you can have their exact app created by a Eastern European or Chinese developer for about $3000 or less and ask if they want to reconsider their asking price. The other big problem with apps, that Apple or Google needs to address pretty quickly is that if...

    A Question About Copyright

    PUBLISHING 
    Those old tales are in the public domain, so anyone can use them. Once Disney put them into animated film, they became Disney's work and then qualified for copyright protection. The old tale is still public domain, the Disney Movie is not.

    Copyright question

    PUBLISHING 
    yes you can and if you sell many, probably will, unless the poem or song or saying is in the public domain (google public domain to get an idea of specific rules for each)

    Opinions needed on purchase of business

    OK, and three years into it, you make the site SUPER successful, and he says, "I'm not going through with our deal, you are fired." What are you going to do then? Don't scoff, this happens all the time, businesses that seem to be at the end of their life, the owner is thinking about retiring...

    Opinions needed on purchase of business

    Depends on their reason for selling. If they need the cash for a vacation, funding another project, or a pool in the back yard. Your deal won't fly. If they are selling because they are sick of it, maybe, but it is a huge risk for them, because if you screw it up in the first couple of months...

    Addictions don't go away. Alcoholics are alcoholics for life, even if they haven't had a drink in years. Recovering addicts can tell you usually to the day how long they have been sober, they have to fight that hard every day not to succumb to their bodies urge. It isn't an excuse, it can be...
