    The COVID 19 Mostly Free Stuff Thread

    https://www.digitalmarketer.com/lab-plus/ I think someone else posted this somewhere (and only lasts until March 31st) but still, worth checking otu!

    RECESSION-PROOF Business Models?

    HOT! 
    Kind of surprised this one hasn't been mentioned but bars. They typically will survive a recession - as long as they aren't the expensive, trendy, cocktail-y bars they typically do pretty well. Of course they'll take a bit of a dip but overall, they tend to survive. Granted the Covid thing is...

    How to find producers?

    EXECUTION 
    Most will also work with you to formulate recipes, make them food safety compliant, etc. Depending on your needs and your product, you will want to find one that specializes in that industry as there are different food safety protocols, machines, etc. At least here in the states but I would...

    Scaling adventure tour operator business to $1,000,000 net income per year

    First, congratulations! Good for you for starting something. I just wanted to drop a line and say reach out to your old customers! Ask them for reviews, testimonials, etc. If you want, you could also offer a discount to their friends/family (or to them if they want to go again). But you should...

    How do I scale a business like this?

    Regardless of what you decide, this might be a good listen for you. https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/how-i-built-this/e/51184850 It's the episode about edible arrangements - which is obviously a similar business to you. The other thought I was having which would reduce logistics, is either...

    Money & Food

    HOT! INVESTING 
    The biggest thing for me, is meal prepping. Most of the time you probably grab something because it's easy, it's convenient, or you don't have something at home already. When you prep the vast majority of your food, you don't default to grabbing something on the go because it's already all done...

    Move Back in with Parents and Save $$$ or Stay Independent and Gain Opportunities?

    PEOPLE 
    I understand. If you have no plans, I would look at which makes you happier. From my initial reaction to your post, it sounds like you're much happier, more fulfilled with more opportunities for learning/advancement/networking in your current situation. So as a random guy on the internet you...

    Move Back in with Parents and Save $$$ or Stay Independent and Gain Opportunities?

    PEOPLE 
    The ONLY reason I would say move back in is if you have a plan. A specific reason you're going to be saving money with a job lined up, with a financial breakdown of what you're going to be spending each month, saving each month, with a specific goal to achieve it and a timeline of how long it'd...

    How Much Time Do I Need To Put In?

    MINDSET 
    With no context of what you're trying to do, it's impossible to say nor is there really a "minimum time" anyone will ever be able to tell you anyway. But I would say this. If you put in less time per day, it'll take longer. Let's say, for argument sake, something takes 1000 hours to do. So...

    Best ways to market to customers 50+ y/o?

    This. I would definitely go for FB ads. Also, make sure you're setting up retargeting to re-capture people visiting and abandoning. A company that I would suggest checking out ads for that targets a very similar demo (although completely different space) is BOOM! by Cindy Joseph.

    What's wrong with me? Why didn't I stick to my long term goals?

    MINDSET 
    This is always something I struggle with. The most important part is you're self aware enough to realize you're struggling with it and falling off. It's ironic that I saw this post today because I JUST started listening to the audiobook "Atomic Habits" after seeing it pop up on this forum...

    Marketing for custom sneakers

    MARKETING 
    A couple more ideas that play off what you already said: you could collab with local stores - if you have any clothing/shoe stores that fit in with your clients, that might be a cool thing to do. With the giveaway idea, this could fit in nicely - a featured spot with your shoes, people put down...

    BIG Opportunity...Not sure how to get started. Please help!

    MARKETING 
    Here's an idea I've been toying with that's a little left field but I think really might work for you. Start a Podcast that talks about real estate. Interview agents, companies, mortgage brokers, whatever you think it relevant. And try to add value to end consumers as well - for example tricks...

    My journey to $1m / year income

    EXECUTION 
    I haven't gone down this route so I don't have any suggestions. I'm sure a quick google search will find you plenty though and then you'll simply have to train/weed out the good from the less capable.

    Introducing My Business Idea: International Snack E-Commerce.

    IDEA 
    I can't remember the name of the company off the top of my head (I'm sure a quick google search would find it) but I know there's a couple companies that do subscription boxes for snacks . Some do rotating places so you get a "taste of the world". All to say, the idea is definitely viable. I'd...

    My journey to $1m / year income

    EXECUTION 
    A potential suggestion here that I've actually been debating doing. Film your work process - I use things like Loom as it screen records and records yourself - step by step of how you would go about doing this. Then, hire a VA to do this for you. It kind of creates an intermediary between...

    Best investing podcasts?

    Really depends on what you're interested in! There's SO many podcasts around so many different fields of interest. Could you narrow down what you're interested in? I would say one of my all time favorites is "how I built this" - it's just a generally inspiring and interesting one about how...

    How can we promote this brand?

    MARKETING 
    It's a little hard for me to say because I don't entirely know what your product is or how you're really selling it (online, in person, etc). But I'm always a strong proponent of paid social. Sounds like you're in a local area: hitting it hard with Facebook & Instagram ads to the local areas...
