    Making video for marketing purposes

    MARKETING 
    Try looking at something like http://www.flixpress.com Videos made out of a template with pretty slick transitions and animations built in. I think there's a demo you can try out. I'm probably going to use them for some of my projects. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

    How to identify the potential value of an app.

    Generally speaking, ideas on their own don't have a lot of intrinsic value - it is more in the execution. Is there a way you can find out if there is a real market for it? Just because you think it's a great idea and everyone SHOULD want it doesn't mean that will automatically happen. I would...

    Gonna build my website first, and figure out if it works after

    FTE 
    I would recommend staying very niched down to one target customer first and get that going before expanding into other markets. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

    What to do if the Commandment of Entry is low?

    A similar product/service can exisit on many different price levels. If your product provides added value, there will be people who will pay more. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This thread kind of weaves across a few things but I'm just going to comment on the business side. I have this vision of you guys teaching yourselves how to code, while figuring out a viable idea. This could take years and thankfully the experience will be transferrable but the current project...

    The downsides to offshore manufacturing

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is an interesting perspective from a company in my industry. They started outsourcing in the early 2000's but found that the ability to reduce inventory overhead and improved time to market almost outweighed any benefit in lower cost of manufacturing overseas. From a purely monetary...

    I'm taking recommendations on Wordpress shopping carts that aren't a PITA

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have set up a woocommerce site for a non-technical web design client thinking it would be a good solution. Personally I found it to be workable but trying to explain adding products to my client (especially products with multiple options) was not an easy task. It was nice however to not have...

    Where do you guys go for your products ? Ecommerce

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    @johnp that is a great way to test the market! Curious how you (your sister I guess) would go about test selling at the flea market - rent a booth? I'd imagine that would cost a LOT more than $30, so there must be another "trick" to this.

    Can app development really be a good fastlane method anymore?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think there are a lot of people jumping into this market with a "me too" philosophy. While there is money to be made tagging onto something popular, that only works as a business strategy if you know when to get in, when to get out, and how to spot the next "trend." The side effect of this is...

    Market Samurai - Buggiest Program Ever

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That's exactly what I was thinking when I read their explanation. Market Samurai has a business model where they rely much to heavily on external services that they have no control over. Not exactly a sustainable business model.

    Starting a social network site

    You might want to check out some open source platforms for creating a social network site. I've played around with elgg (elgg.org) it looks pretty good but I'm sure there are others. Your biggest challenge is going to be marketing. It will be tough to get people joining a network that at first...

    Sales & Marketing for Startup

    MARKETING 
    I have a new web-based venture that I am starting to promote. Basically it is a "cloud" service that will enable my customers (businesses) to provide better service to their customers. (I know a lot about the market because I have worked in the industry for over 10yrs and know a lot of the...

    Do NON-COMPETE clauses hold up in court?

    One thing to consider is that even if you are not competing unfairly with the other company, they can still file a lawsuit against you that you will have to fight. (you still have to defend yourself even if you are doing nothing wrong) Legal costs for your new start up might cripple the venture...

    Hello from Calgary

    Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone on the forum. I read MJ's book several days ago, and it really made an impact on me - almost one of those defining moments in life. (at the risk of sounding cheesy) What impacted me most was the value of time, and how much more effective it can be...

    Analysis of Failure: The WoodShed

    Thanks for sharing your story. Being able to negotiate your contract with the distributor is actually quite impressive given the small scale of your business at that point. You definitely have a good instinct for sales, and I would bet that your next venture will have a huge head start based on...

    Can selling information products be Fastlane?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The Entry of "anyone can do it if they want to" is your biggest obstacle by far. The fitness industry is a hot market but you really need to have something that stands out from the crowd otherwise you will not go anywhere. As for ClickBank, you would really want to focus on getting people to...

    I'm not crazy

    I wouldn't worry too much about what to do once you arrive at your millions just right now. In my opinion it will distract you from your main focus, which should be how you can create opportunities for yourself to increase your income. Most financial advisors work on creating an investor...

    (Link collection) Buying an internet business

    Don't fall for anything that is brand new with traffic "estimates" as these are a waste of time and money. Flippa has some quality sites, but a lot are affiliate sites that are based on google adsense as their income model. Your friend should try to find a site that actually provides VALUE to...
