    Harder to make money online than brick and mortar?

    As of last month we are now in the black and able to take disbursements.

    Harder to make money online than brick and mortar?

    B&M doesn't have to require long hours or direct day to day interaction. My store has only been 4 months, and my wife has already been able to cut back to less than 40 hours/week.

    Email Marketing Software

    MARKETING 
    I use MailCheat(Chimp), which works well enough right now since I have < 1,000 subscribers and it is free. I experimented with Aweber via a free trial when I was blogging, but didn't see the need for paying that much $$$ when I had very low subscribers. As I grow my subscribers I will likely switch...

    Is this concept fastlane?Store branding!

    That is not a niche - it's just like a billion other stores. You need to define a core, under-served, customer. Women who want to look and feel better are not under-served. They have tons of options.

    no money, no job, no business, no degree

    With your limited capital, I see a few options. 1. Learn how to design websites/internet marketing - with this knowledge there will be tons of opportunities. You can learn a lot of this for free online. 2. BUY a business, but it would have to be something small where the seller would agree...

    Go niche or very very narrow niche?

    Unfortunately, in order to come up with new material every month, you HAVE to resort to the filler that Men's Magazines put out there. Losing weight, adding muscle, gaining confidence, and managing money are pretty simple - and the facts don't change from month to month. When I realized what a...

    The 4 Hour Work Week Vs. Millionaire Fastlane

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Most people read the 4HWW the wrong way. The point of the book is NOT to tell you to only work 4 Hours a Week, the point is that you spend so much of your time on pointless stuff that you could generate the same income with only 4 hours/week. It's really a time management book. In fact...

    Harder to make money online than brick and mortar?

    I agree with Pete - it comes down to your skill set. For me, my skill set is much more suited to B&M, which is why I opened a physical retail store. I plan to grow the business to 10 non-franchised stores in 10 years with revenue > $4M. I have the knowledge and capability to do that, as I'm in...

    By 'personal' expenses, I mean the things you are legally allowed to run through the business - your car, your cellphone, home office, etc. I should have specified.

    Young, Travelling... Dating Coach?

    The market for international dating/social interaction is probably fairly big (at least big enough to be quite profitable)... for both guys and girls. IMO, your niche could be teaching people from Canada social skills for particular other countries. I'm sure people who spend a semester abroad...

    "finished Standford at 16"..."taught himself programming at 10"..

    You are comparing yourself to the top 1% of Entrepreneurs. I doubt anyone on this board is that smart. You said that 126 is "very superior". It is the top 25% of intelligence, which is nothing to be ashamed of. It's plenty smart enough. The point was that a higher IQ wouldn't mean anything. No...

    Correct healthstatus, it comes down to taxes. My understanding is that the law merely says the salary must be "reasonable", which leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Per my consultant, a lot of owners pay themselves something like a fresh college grad ($30 to $40k) in salary, and keep it...

    Go niche or very very narrow niche?

    I love business, economics, and politics - and am also on this forum. That doesn't make you or I a nerd. It makes you intelligent and interested in intellectual stimulation. The fact that you can walk into a bar alone and leave with a new group of friends means that you are not a prime...

    UPDATE: So, this is probably not uncommon, but I was underestimating some of our annual expenses. While we broke-even on a cash-flow basis in our very first full month (mid August to mid September), this figure was about $5k/month understated when including all expenditures (like annual...

    Go niche or very very narrow niche?

    I'd hardly consider a combo of picking up women/sex/confidence/money "very very niche". Men's Health, along with many other, much better funded competitors are already out there to cater to the general men's interest. And they are cheap/free. You'll need a MUCH more specific niche than that...

    "finished Standford at 16"..."taught himself programming at 10"..

    Certainly isn't... 126 is nothing to brag about. But it really doesn't matter... I have lots of friends with IQ's > 160, and none of them are Entrepreneurs or doing anything particularly great in their lives at age 27. I get where you are going with this. I personally find it very depressing to...

    A logo from Fiverr? Must not be a very good one... The benefits should be front and center - I shouldn't have to look for it. And it isn't spelled out clearly enough now. You need to cover a lot more information from the get go.

    18-year old with an opportunity.

    It's not fast-lane, but in my opinion, everyone should start Entrepreneurship by buying and reselling goods. You'll quickly learn the importance of sales and marketing. You need to ask yourself how you will let people know that you are selling these, what the benefits to buying from you are...
