    [Progress] #AndyTalks

    NOTABLE! 
    The story part and that you have no idea where it's going from the start really makes it feel more natural. Not just some random motivational speech and mindset tips without context. It allows to really get a grasps on "why" and your thought process. I see... making a video and thinking during...

    Is this stealing an idea?

    IDEA 
    I was always wondering why there are a thousand brands of soaps, beers, cookies, phones, lamps, cars and other consumer & business products, yet no one is thinking they're stealing the idea. But for software/digital products it's pretty much always the case. Yes, they may hold some patents on...

    Bjr les fonceurs (French)

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! Would be much better if you wrote in English so people could better understand you without having to translate it from French first. You can find a lot of ideas here, I would suggest starting with GOLD and Noticeable threads. And finish the book, it's really great! Good...

    [Progress] #AndyTalks

    NOTABLE! 
    Andy, thanks for putting all your time and effort into helping people. I really like your videos, especially on mindset, general tips, and the interviews. Your posts here are also great, and I would say they are better with giving advice on specific topics and how-to. But they definitely miss...

    Should I learn digital marketing or coding as a 17yo?

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, it may really be a survivor bias. I know dozen of programmers who don't know marketing and a few marketers that are not programmers. But I'm pretty they haven't even tried to learn both. Focusing on natural strengths will definitely decrease the learning curve and will allow him to...

    Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started (seriously)

    EXECUTION 
    I would say HUGE influence. Even hanging with successful entrepreneurs from different industry. Especially if you're a newbie. This saves years of learning and making mistakes alone. Don't know about all, but I learn from someone's experience a lot faster than from books, courses, and even this...

    Job Website Created… Now it’s time to grow it!

    EXECUTION 
    So just hang out where they are. Get your website in front of them. Think of some more creative ways to do it. Ad revenue won't give you enough ROI to run paid ads to your web site. Affiliating with Job offer site probably can get a positive ROI, need to test.

    Book: Blue Ocean Strategy

    >> OFFTOP You just got used to the old one. The avatars are square already. The latest posts section is much better than just after the update. It looks more modern, the old one probably was like 10 years old. It's getting better, so someone is working on it to be better. <<

    How can you work full time while growing your business ?

    HOT! 
    You may use vacation to get your product to the market and work consistently on it every day later ;) Putting everything you can to get it to the market asap helps a lot. You work on full motivation and you'll get the market feedback faster if it gets there faster. I'm talking about calendar...

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    It may be slower and not that reliable than more expensive plans. But it also free's you from the maintenance of the server itself. Probably a good start for cheap. I've had a project hosted on shared hosting, but with a different hosting company, for years. And it had a pretty big audience...

    Is 2.5k$ on domain name worth it? Facts inside

    HOT! 
    Depends on the things you're doing, general words name may give you some SEO boost. At least that worked for my old project on XYZdb.org and seems to work for cryptodividend.io too. .com with a brand name might be better if you don't rely on SEO traffic that much. For just starting out, I also...

    Job Website Created… Now it’s time to grow it!

    EXECUTION 
    Honorable idea. Do you have any monetization strategy for it? What would make people you don't know leave an honest and good description of their job? If you don't have a good monetization strategy than probably the best ways would be to leave links on Quora and forums like this one. And get...

    Book: Blue Ocean Strategy

    Haven't read the book, but I think the NDA project is something like that. It's similar to many products in a big, established and a little saturated industry. The client just worked from a solution to solve a need in a pretty small niche that had no competition. Zero research...

    Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started (seriously)

    EXECUTION 
    Once my friend approached me as partner&investor with an idea to grow plants using hydroponics. I'm the kind of guy to think more than necessary, test and calculate everything upfront. So we quickly hacked 3 very small test setups in my basement: two for microgreens and one for lettuce. After...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    You can't hire yourself Was added to my signature recently. It's from a talk with 260+ CEO on a Saturday party. I was joking about his business and explaining our plan to him cause he's kind of my mentor. How we would put marketing over sales, how we would compete for projects that no big...

    Resources for idea generation

    IDEA 
    For services it's really easy - just find a client. A quote from Andy's signature: “Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.” (Mother Theresa) For products, it depends. As @itfactor wrote: Get at some prospects interested in the...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    Surround yourself with successful people Just had a 2.5 hours launch with the client and some of his friends who are all entrepreneurs and have offices in downtown. Two lawyers from the "Legal porn" seminar, two product company owners and an owner of a service company who quoted $20k for the NDA...
