Affiliate Marketing Advice
SIDE HUSTLEThat's not it. Affiliate marketing is just a job, it will generate income for you to live on but that's it. It will never generate an asymmetrical return so that you may in a few years retire on millions of dollars. It will always be a job, no matter how well it pays (and even at the highest...- Jeix

Can anyone recommend an affiliate management platform for EU e-commerce?
QUESTIONI'm using UpPromote on my Shopify store because it's the only one with a free plan and I didn't want to spend money before getting some traction with it. It works well but a lot of the features you are looking for will be blocked behind a paywall.- Jeix

Am I stupid for changing idea?
IDEAHow do you see it being a productocracy when the current forums being used in your niche are barely even visited? Are you sure there's a market or have people simply moved onto discord servers? Whatever you are trying to do, it seems long dead to me if this is what you find by looking online.- Jeix

How to invest and save money while my company grows ?
INVESTINGApologies if I sound blunt but if you can't disassociate your time from your business, you don't own a business. You are currently a freelancer. There's nothing wrong with that, mind you. If you want to sit on it and save money, you can, but you won't reach a level of wealth that will allow...- Jeix

What is the Fastlane stance on Debt?
MINDSET QUESTIONThe answer is leverage. Let's say I buy eggs and flour to bake cakes and sell the cakes. If the eggs and flour needed for a cake cost $10 and I sell the cake for $20, I pocket the difference each time. Hoping to grow the business, increase the amount of ingredients I can buy and the amount of...- Jeix

Accounting question
SIDE HUSTLEFirst of all, let me say that I wish you the best of luck on your venture. I only have one concern: you seem to not know the problem you are solving, judging from your questions, because you haven't had it before. How do you solve something you don't know? You seem to not even know if what you...- Jeix

Funding My Business Through My Personal Account
INVESTINGIt depends on your country but where I'm from I can just make a transfer and write "interest-free partner lending", meaning that the money I'm sending is a loan to my own business with zero interest, without a repayment deadline made by a person who is also a shareholder or owner (and it's kind...- Jeix

I built a 7-figure, multi-location, retail gelato brand in Africa - Now what?
SOURCING EXECUTIONGreat job! I don't have much to contribute other than a similar, albeit smaller, success story from a guy I know who moved from Italy to Ecuador and started their gelato franchise there. He's opened his second location on year 2. The secret? They make it fresh every day in a workshop and deliver...- Jeix

Chronic Slowlaner Seeking a Change and Mentor
INTROThe opposite is also true, if you can find a way to get and satisfy 1 more customer you can increase your earnings by 10-20%, a huge return for just 1 customer. If you think you have no control over whether you'll lose customers or not, why aren't you as optimistic about gaining new ones as...- Jeix

Chronic Slowlaner Seeking a Change and Mentor
INTROI don't think customers leaving is a sign of not having control. It's like saying "if everyone stopped using apple products the company would fail". Of course it would, that's why it's in their control to develop better products and make sure customers stick around and new ones are found. An...- Jeix

Finding job contracts in Europe
INVESTINGIf the workforce is actually skilled and sought after there's probably already some agencies bringing those people into the country and you'll need to figure out how they do it if you want to capture a slice of that industry.

Finding job contracts in Europe
INVESTINGItalian here. It's not that simple.

Business owners! Need more sales?
PEOPLEHow about instead of saying what I can do for you, you tell me what you can do for me?
