    What Are Your Methods for Identifying Needs?

    I've posted about it before. But I know (through a friend of mine) someone who stated making vegan milkshakes in her kitchen and selling at markets etc. 12-18 months later she was turning over £1m selling huge volume. Not saying it's easy, but never impossible.

    Back on track after first failure / How do you guys deal with failure

    HOT! FTE 
    After a failure I find it important to stop for a bit and reflect. Jumping straight into the next idea is counter productive for me. So I'll wait for a few months. Naturally in those months I'll have ideas and mull them over. By the time I'm ready to start again I've had plenty of time to work...

    Naming Your Startup or New Company: Practical Tips and Helpful Tools

    A lot of good in this post, but I disagree with this. Let's say I'm a plumbing contracting company. Naming my business "Uber" is stupid. Nobody is going to find me or know what I do. They have have to investigate me just to find out the basics. Now, what if I call myself "Plumbers Direct"...

    Lookin for Advice In-Game Reward Text(copywriting?)

    MARKETING 
    It's pretty common in apps these days, so your user will likely be used to the idea of watching an ad in return for a bonus of some kind. The copy isn't hugely important. I do think you need to be clear that the user gets the bonus for 20 plays, and doesn't have to play the video 20 times...

    Quote of the Day - QOTD

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Probably quoted many times on this thread. But I'm throwing it back in. "Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon." -Winston Churchill

    We are living in a digital, social world. Don't give out photos at the end of the tour. Take their photo and post it on social media tagging your customer and commenting what a great time they had. As long as your customer really did have a great time, and the photo is a good one (get good at...

    Are you fastlane thoroughbred?

    EXECUTION 
    I am interested to hear how fastlane your parents or family members were. Did anyone in your family show you the way, or did you find the fastlane yourself? My parents are the dictionary definition of the slowlane. But more importantly, they are very happy there. They are happy to be slowly...

    This sounds like a Resume. I'm not in the market for an intern. If someone said: "Hey Waspy, You're website is terrible. Your customers need x, y, z, but your website doesn't provide it. Here how it could be..." I might pay some attention. The idea is to stand out. Not blend into my spam...

    Pricing Dilema

    MARKETING 
    We talking lifetime access or a monthly fee? Most people (at least at my school) wouldn't have hired a tutor. So comparing prices is a little redundant. I personally would go down the low cost, mass market pricing. The other option is to sell the service to schools. MyMaths for example made...
