    Where to start with $4000

    Anywhere you want? and anything? ... Really with questions like this, you aren't even trying. I mentioned in the post you quoted that "there are tons of great ecom posts here". Maybe if you don't know where to start, you should start by searching for those and reading them.

    Where to start with $4000

    Great, so you want to start an ecom and you have the needed tech skills? so jump in. You don't even really need money to start. If you really want to get off to a good start, use the money to set your company up properly. Set up an LLC, a business bank account, whatever domain names you need...

    Norway

    Nei, jeg er amerikansk og meg norsk er ikke så bra, men godt vær faktisk! It does seem like a great place to have a business in a lot of ways, though in any industry with much regulation, it seems tricky for a non-native speaker to wade through everything without some considerable...

    There are a few of us here who are either from or living in Norway/Scandinavia. I'm living in Oslo atm.

    Building a Forum!

    The software is irrelevant so long as it does the needed job reliably. Do you think anyone here would give a shit if MJ swapped to another forum software or wrote a custom one? Creating the community is control (insofar as you can ever control your customers), and it's also a barrier to entry...

    Building a Forum!

    So you build a community filled with eyeballs generating lots of engagement and pageviews, but because one service provider might choose not to work with you, you don't have control? Adsense isn't the only way to monetize. You're on a forum with a subscription model, and people seem to be...

    Valves New Employee Handbook

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Sure, it works for them, but consider that adoration doesn't necessarily move record-breaking numbers of units. They do well of course, but they're not moving CoD or GTA numbers (and many of the units that they are moving are deeply discounted). It would be very interesting to compare ROIs...

    Valves New Employee Handbook

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As nice as it sounds to me, I think only a small percentage of people could really thrive in that environment. It would take someone that's very self-directed and entrepreneurial but not to such an extent that they want to have their own companies. I can imagine that being a potentially...

    Hello from Tennessee!!!

    Hi, I'm from that area myself. Sadly, I never ran into many entrepreneurial people there to connect with, which is the great thing about this place. :) There's a ton of fantastic info here, easily as valuable as the book itself, if not more so. I usually lurk too, but I didn't want your...

    EPIC FAIL ! I hope I wasn't the only one who saw this coming

    You realize that Zynga's poker game is likely the most popular Facebook game ever? It launched in 2007 and has been in the top 5-10 most of that time. It was #2 earlier this year: The Top 25 Facebook games of January 2013 , not bad for a game that's nearly 6 years old. Take a look at...

    New Game in Alpha, Stupid?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Really? What forum am I reading again? We can't say that something is exceedingly unlikely to succeed because some other people have been successful? It's pointless to even debate it's how likely it is? O.o

    New Game in Alpha, Stupid?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The problem isn't really the size of a game's landmass... The problem is that when the size of your landmass is your selling point, that means your game doesn't have anything more useful to talk about. Is it theoretically possible to make an enjoyable game with a playable area the size of...

    New Game in Alpha, Stupid?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Well, it's probably "possible" with procedurally generated content, but being in the set of things that are technically possible to do doesn't also put it in the set of things that are good ideas.

    My 1st 99designs experience

    PEOPLE 
    Hmm, I don't see a problem with the post. I've never used 99 Designs but have heard it mentioned, so I thought it was helpful. I was surprised to see that the first response was negative, so I googled a few text chunks to try and find the source page. Looks like OC to me...

    New Game in Alpha, Stupid?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Even if they were able to magically create it, it wouldn't be fun. Any time someone starts with a premise of "we're going to make a game world the size of Earth, literally!", you've got a problem.

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Somehow I've never noticed this thread though I read the book before I ever knew there was a forum! I did wonder where the "read it" badges came from though.

    HOT! 
    Of those, I like 3 the best, but it doesn't read as that much different from the original one. I'm not artist, but if I could make a couple of suggestions: Redraw the monster with smooth lines instead of the angular ones. When looking at the icon as the size that an icon would be on a phone...

    game industry

    HOT! 
    The thing is, the icon makes people click. If people never click the icon, they don't get any extra info about the product to convince them to buy. An icon is such a small thing relative to the entire project, but it can have a vastly disproportionate effect compared to the work required...
