    Food Stamp Covers - Looking for best marketing channels

    MARKETING 
    So I recently teamed up with a guy in my home town who created http://www.foodstampscovers.com/. I loved the idea, because I found a lot people who used food stamps would only shop at night or would travel across town because they were too self conscious about someone they know seeing them use...

    Going to make $2,500 in one week with $0 investment

    EXECUTION 
    So I decided to try this in my hometown as I saw quite a few yard work, gardening jobs posted, and thought it would be a good experiment. I went on the resume section of Craigslist, typed in yard work, emailed 5 people and got 5 responses back quick. So obviously finding workers wont be hard...

    Which company name would be better?

    Ive always heard and believed its better to use a catchy name, rather than a name that describes what your product is. You can tell this is to be pretty true by A. looking at top brand names like Apple, Amazon, Nike, etc. and B. Catchy .com names are either selling at a premium or already...

    Golf Putting Aid

    EXECUTION 
    So I got to checkout the Tiba putting aid last night, albeit on my carpet. First impression was the simplicity of the design, and its portable enough that I could keep it in my golf bag, and it wouldn't take up too much room or weigh the bag down. The alignment rails really help in giving...

    Approaching Manufacturers of Golf Equipment Apparel with idea

    IDEA 
    Thats a pretty accurate statement, as I have a garage full of gimmicks I thought would improve my score. 95% of them have one thing in common though, they were endorsed by a top teaching pro or PGA Tour player.

    Approaching Manufacturers of Golf Equipment Apparel with idea

    IDEA 
    Would have to agree about the validation from a pro or teacher. Ive seen so many gimmicky products endorsed by "top" teaching professionals over the years, and Im always surprised how well they do. Golfers are always looking for a quick fix, and like anything else they think that the "top"...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Sorry if this comes out as a newbie question, but been learning a lot about media buying lately and also the products in which people promote. It seems everyone knocks the affiliate route and says to create your own product. This makes sense to me, as the barrier to entry seems so low, that...
