HOT! CHATMaybe he plans on using the drones for a flyover to drop off food and supplies ... yeah I'm sure that's it. But he totally needs bitcoin to buy them. Drones bought with any other currency just won't do.- jdm667

HOT! CHATI cannot tell if this is due to PayPal's BS policies or just them trying to comply with the government's "Know Your Customer" laws. Seems like overkill either way - sorry this happened. Perhaps it is another fastlane business opportunity in disguise?- jdm667

The StartEngine Investment... Another 0% Free Loan Scam?

Getting Users On Our Website
MARKETINGThe best approach will depend on your industry/niche/product. For example, if people ask lots of questions about your industry/product before buying, Quora might work to drive a little traffic to your site (answer lots of questions and put a link to your site in your profile - but don't get...- jdm667

What Did Your Beginning Look Like?
HOT! MINDSETThe beginning looks like working on your business for $0 per hour - for weeks, months, or even years. Most people will refuse to do that out of principle. That's a good thing, since it creates a strong barrier to entry for others. Later, when you start to have success, everyone will say you...- jdm667

Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.
HOT! INVESTINGI also don't see how they can raise rates and pay the debt, but on the other hand, who is going to keep buying all of their crummy bonds at close to zero interest rates? Unless they threaten negative rates (which some countries already have).- jdm667

Writing For Dollars: Building A Digital Asset For Sale
HOT! EXECUTIONHow does your team decide which news-type articles to write? Sites like BuzzFeed, ExplodingTopics, etc.? I am always looking for news-type ideas, but my niches are pretty evergreen, so real "news" can be hard to come by. I hired a VA exclusively for Pinterest for one of my sites last...- jdm667

The Ultimate Checklist: A 99% Mindset VS a 1% Mindset
NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSETIf the process were not challenging at all, anyone could do it. That violates the "E" (entry) in CENTS. As an example, if you have a degree in engineering, it might help you to invent something new with slightly fewer struggles. However, the process will still be challenging - just maybe not...- jdm667

HOT! CHATIn the U.S. (and probably everywhere else on Earth), there are so many federal, state, and local laws that nobody (not even a judge, lawyer, or lawmaker) can possibly know them all.

The Ultimate Checklist: A 99% Mindset VS a 1% Mindset
NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSETI think innovation in a small way is important for success. Don't copy your competitor 100%. Instead, do something similar, but improve the parts people don't like (based on reviews, market research, etc.) If your idea is too new and unlike anything else, you now have the job of creating a...- jdm667

Don’t lurk, do this instead
GOLD! HOT!Andy, I took your advice yesterday. You often say to take your posts from social media (where you helped people) and repurpose them into blog posts. I did the exact opposite - I repurposed some of my blog posts to social media (in this case, my Quora account). I repurposed about 17 blog posts...- jdm667

To DIY Content Marketing or Hire?

Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.
