    Can't you? Your subject matter is Math. Thousands of poor students go college to study math every year. You could probably offer to pay them in cheeseburgers and they would still write for you. Students = cheap labour

    Prolific beats perfect

    MINDSET 
    Currently reading a book (Entrepreneur Revolution) from which this quote is taken. It's something which I need to remind myself of often, and thought might benefit some of the forum users. Don’t let your perfectionism stand in the way; prolific beats perfect. Getting stuff done will create more...

    How does one monetize a free service?

    Affiliate was my first thought too. There are plenty of sites that do this, however in my experience none do it well. Tend to just tell you to build whatever is gunna make them the most coin. Subscription doesn't really work as people don't build computer often enough. Ads would work if you...

    Tell them is $2 a month. Sounds nicer the $26 a year. Even $3 a month is throw-away money. However, remember, if they think they are spending throwaway money, they will think they are getting a throwaway product. $0.5 an issue is very cheap.

    Has anyone on this forum become a millionaire from reading TMF?

    HOT! 
    I full agree. To be clear, I was putting forward what I imagine their mindset to be, not defending it. The grass is always greener. Until you jump the fence and realise it's a swamp

    I suppose for most it's better to play on hard mode than not to play at all. Told to start a business, but can't find one which makes CENTS, so start one that doesn't. Large group of people who are happy to launch a business out of pure desperation and hatred for the 9-5 grind

    First step, looking for a mentor!

    EXECUTION 
    Your first step is to get a mentor? You will never find a mentor with that attitude IMO. There was a very good thread not long ago about that. I'll link it in a bit. Get the shop up and running, THEN, look for a mentor. Sorry to put a downer on your intro, but seriously, just get going, stop...

    I don't know where you are in the world, but here in the U.K there are at least two very large, very successful websites doing something very similar (one of them even runs expensive national TV ads). Neither of them have your exact business model, but that is with good reason. Getting cash back...

    Advice needed! Going public

    REAL ESTATE 
    Your job responsibilities? You are CEO. Your responsibilities are the safe and legal running of this business. If it's such a small company, as you say it is, why do they even want to go public? The paperwork alone doesn't seem worth it for a company of that size, unless they have something...

    Need a website, should I do it myself or outsource?

    EXECUTION 
    Almost certain he was making reference to the fact most decorators/remodellers are still completely off-line. So getting his dad online puts him ahead of the game. However, just pull the damn trigger!

    Fundraising tip: Raise the round before it's even open

    Sorry, what? Back on On Topic. Really insightful post. I've never had to raise funds or even been involved in a startup big enough to need investment, but I find this stuff really interesting.
