    Need Help on US Sales Tax for EU Digital Good Ecommerce

    TAXES | REGS 
    Hello fastlaners. I'm gathering info on how to handle this side of a business I'm starting and need your help. As you may or may not know, any online business in the EU has to pay VAT tax to the corresponding European country based on where their customers bought their goods or services. To...

    How To Market and Product Launch/Research On Reddit?

    HOT! RANT 
    I know it's a little off topic but I gotta tell you this: last summer I was advertising my app on reddit spending like $5/day. Then something funny happened: the ad network bugged out and I got almost two million impressions without spending any money. Those converted into 500 downloads for...

    "Problems to solve" are everywhere. ...so is there a way to efficiently research this?

    The method I use is a little different and might not apply to you, but here it is anyway: I try to look for problems that I have myself. There are many problems out there than anyone could ever solve but you aren't necessarily good at solving all of them. Are there problems that could be solved...

    The concept of VALUE - a frustrated outlook.

    MINDSET RANT 
    In my point of view, although it's true that they are scripted and will never be rich and free unlike you who's working hard on it, the bottom line is that they are still people and people have needs. If you satisfy their needs, they'll be happy and will give you their money in return. You are...

    The Cult of Dan Lok - Brainwashed Student Lost $26,000 Testimonial

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is a very ignorant statement. Why do you think that anybody desperate enough to buy a guru course would otherwise use that money on drugs or criminal activity? It's true that desperate people fall prey of criminals and their schemes more easily but that's because they have no one else to...

    The Cult of Dan Lok - Brainwashed Student Lost $26,000 Testimonial

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yeah I don't agree 100% with the way they calculated the amount of money he lost, they are trying to say that that's the total amount of money he spent *because* of the guru and not straight for the guru. Here's a summary, I hadn't finished watching the video yet before posting it here...

    The Cult of Dan Lok - Brainwashed Student Lost $26,000 Testimonial

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hello people, I found this recent video and wanted to share it. Not much to say about it, just pissed at how far gurus will come to grab people's money. High-income skills they call them now, geez. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VDiM_PMmZA

    My critique on the commandment of entry

    None, I'm just theorycrafting from a philosophical standpoint. Fortnite may be a unicorn but its competitors are normal businesses and they showed up quickly after its success. If we agree that pc gaming is a hard industry to get in yet we see value being easily replicated in that industry...

    My critique on the commandment of entry

    This has nothing to do with entering the pizzeria business. This is all about value and what need I'm satisfying. I easily entered in a business, what's my main concern? The value I offer. I fought long and hard to enter in a business, what's my main concern? The value I offer. How I entered...

    My critique on the commandment of entry

    I didn't say that a millionaire opens a restaurant because he has money to spend. I said he can easily open one because he has money. The fact that it's easy for him to open one has no relation to how successful he's going to be, because that's going to depend on the demand of the market. That's...

    My critique on the commandment of entry

    Hello fastlaners, today I would like to discuss something important related to the book that I was thinking about, tell me what you think. This might not be the right section for the topic but I figured it was the best. My theory: the commandment of entry is superfluous and can just be included...

    Idea I had and how I'm trying to make it work

    IDEA 
    Yes, we did our research and talked to our target market extensively, like I said the idea was born in October and we started in November. I'm just guessing some Chinese is already doing it, I haven't found anything so far. The real question I have is if you would do something like this...

    Idea I had and how I'm trying to make it work

    IDEA 
    Anyone with money can put execution into an idea. If I were to start from scratch by myself it would take at least another year of learning how to code and who knows what the market will look like then. If I need money, I gotta ask those who have it and face some amount of risk no matter what...

    Idea I had and how I'm trying to make it work

    IDEA 
    Hello fastlaners, random 25 year old here. This might look like a progress thread but it's not, I promise. Last October my friend had (in our view) a great app idea. I talked about it with some more friends and they all agreed. Of course the idea is worth millions (yeah I wish lol) so I can't...

    Hire people or outsource?

    Do you mean that an off-shore team could be using outdated technology? I think I'm missing something because as long as we're talking about coding there shouldn't be any limitations related to location. Could you name some of these creative ways?

    Hire people or outsource?

    Can you tell me more about this? What's "T&M"? Would paying for the delivery mean not having an hourly rate with devs? What if they ask for an hourly rate (yet we agree on the total number of hours before starting)? Because rotating people out of the team implies that there was either no...

    Hire people or outsource?

    Thanks, but do you think that these remote devs that you meet online can be trusted? They know the inner workings of what I'd like to do whereas I have little experience with GitHub and such. I also know there's a lot of Indian people working in the industry, I've personally never worked with...

    Hire people or outsource?

    Thanks for sharing, I have a couple of questions. 1) When you bring your first programmer on board but you might want a second or a third one, how do they get to work on the same project? Does GitHub allow them to? Because it would mean that there are no geographical limitations to where my...
