    Ideas On Adding Value To My Product

    IDEA 
    I've done SEO sales, while I was also working for a Web Design firm - you should look at teaming up with Salespeople from high-end web firms (not the firms themselves), they'll already have the relationship with the client, and will push your product easily. Selling SEO via a website is a very...

    28 y/o Wisconsinite pursuing product dev.

    INTRO 
    That's a great start! But heed this warning: Validation from friends, family or anyone close doesn't count. You already have their trust and confidence, which is a leap with any new product. You need to pick up the phone and call some randoms, try sell it to them. Hell, call to someone in...

    28 y/o Wisconsinite pursuing product dev.

    INTRO 
    My recommendation would be to see if you can sell the product, and then get a batch made. Get a crude prototype up and running, see if people will buy it. Don't phrase it as "Would you buy it once I have a batch done" - most people will find their reason not to at that point, and delay letting...

    Hey Jack, sounds great, count me in for Tuesday, April 8th 3PM! Just to confirm, US Central Time is the same as Mexico City right? Just trying to work out timezones, I'm near Sydney Australia.

    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    Best advice I can give is to Validate properly. Make sure you know for a fact people will pay for your product before you build it. Don't write a book then try to sell it - try to sell the book, and if you can, then write it. It'll save you tonnes of time. It may take you 20 times before you...

    How Much Traffic To Website?

    People will contribute to forums for sport if it's the right sport. It seriously comes down to that - you'll get a lot more activity on a Golf Forum than a Table Tennis Forum.

    How Much Traffic To Website?

    Building a passionate and active userbase all stems from getting some highly knowledgable people active to begin with; generally this all starts with the owner of the forum. Forums are a LONG slog. You need to build up a critical mass of content before it becomes worthwhile for a visitor to stay...

    Idea Validation Software - My New Idea

    IDEA 
    Awesome point about Mobile and Tablet, would definitely have to be a responsive design. It would probably have to be hosted on our server, as it'll be cloud-based. May be able to iFrame it in nicely or something so it runs on your domain, I can sense issues already though; or may allow you to...

    Idea Validation Software - My New Idea

    IDEA 
    In the process of validating tonnes of ideas, my business partner and I have gotten pretty efficient at it. One of the biggest problems we faced, especially in the "Information products" sector, was that the following would happen: Setup a Validation Landing Page to see if people will buy the...

    What is "Good"?

    MINDSET 
    Depends what you class as *wealthy*. I know a few pretentious types that were given everything; but I live in a city where if you make 200k you're considered very very wealthy, so they're only given cars worth 50k .etc, not ferraris (I wouldn't say no to a free car of course) . I know some...

    What is "Good"?

    MINDSET 
    I've seen a study based on "Relative Wealth", which means the happiness you get from wealth is directly proportional to where you stand in your immediate social group. So a guy who makes $100k and hangs around a bunch of people on $50k will be much happier than a guy making $400k hanging around...

    How do I get a Sales Job at 16 Years Old?

    He'll still need to get skills somewhere, it can be from trial and error, but at least he would get paid decent money while learning if he went a Comm-Based sales job. Sales will always apply, in any field. It's a life skill.

    How do I get a Sales Job at 16 Years Old?

    I'm in Sales, I can possibly hook you up with a Real Estate Agent I know in Detroit, he may give you a start. Real Estate is all about gathering leads for the top sales people, until you become one of those. That's why we all had to start at the bottom. If you're willing to go comm-only or a low...

    My Fastlane Idea (It's simple!)

    IDEA 
    The problem here is that your traffic is going to be completely dependent on your brand identity. Your marketing will always flow from that. You need to know and understand your customer - so you need to know who that is before you can get traffic, because you need to know where they hang out...

    My Fastlane Idea (It's simple!)

    IDEA 
    You can't have price as your selling point, and still have Luxury, it just doesn't go together, they're polar opposites. You will never have a solid brand identity. I see what you're trying to achieve, but it just won't work. There is nothing luxurious about a $10 watch, and you don't have the...

    I found a need, and I shall exploit it!

    EXECUTION 
    It's VERY similar to the way MJ ran his Limo business. You could double dip; but be up-front about it, that you'll give the lead to X number of suppliers. It has its issues, like dud leads, but you can just have a refund/credit system for that, I've seen that work. The difficult part for you...
