    if a book publisher is dissolved and the author is dead, can I digitize the book and sell it?

    If it's not in the public domain, then don't do it. You may not be aware of any heirs, but that doesn't mean there aren't any, even if Wikipedia says so. There could be an unknown or unacknowledged heir, in which case it is theirs, not yours.

    Free Insider Subscription, How Has "Fastlane" Helped You?

    HOT! 
    I'm not going to lie, my current fast lane ideas (and I always have many LOL) are vague at best. BUT...being on here has helped me analyze whether ideas make CENTS. I have been running my own slow lane business for years, and since being on here I have done a lot of pruning to make it far less...

    Starting A SUPREME RESELLING Membership Site

    EXECUTION 
    What value does your plan offer to people who can't buy it from you either? It doesn't seem like a very good deal if it's really iffy for any kind of customer to get the stuff in the first place and then really iffy for your membership customers to actually buy it from you. You are essentially...

    Is it just me or is service at restaurants terrible now?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    UUGGHHH! Don't get me started on that topic. And I regularly dine with people who won't say anything if something is wrong, and like the example in another thread--THEY WORK FOR YOU. And then they go through life anxious because nothing goes right.

    Hey I'm new. What can I do if I'm useless with no skills?

    INTRO 
    My last boyfriend was a WoW player and that was a deal breaker. Anyway, welcome to the forum. Since you're awesome at WoW, have you thought about maybe writing a short ebook on how to play? Doing YouTube videos? Capitalize on what you know! Maybe this'll get you thinking.

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    Yes! This is how I drive. I always assume the other guy is going to do something unsafe/wrong/illegal. It's saved me more times than I can count. I would NEVER get a motorcycle. I used to ride a regular bike all the time and I got in enough accidents (one of which everyone was surprised...

    Print on Demand

    You can Google these questions, but I'm avoiding work, so... The format of the design probably depends on the POD fulfillment house. JPEG is probably ok with some, some probably want PNG. MY GUESS is that JPEG is ok because PNG is probably a little more advanced than a lot of people can do or...

    If we expel CO2 when we breathe, wouldn't a solution be to get some people to stop breathing? I've got a list we can start with...

    California Governor signs rent-control law... yea or nay?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Kind of like the health insurance market. There are people squeezed in at the bottom at low cost and overcrowding and at the high end, it's easily available but at high cost. In the middle? Forget it. Rent control is the Obamacare of housing.

    The Best Speech On The Scripted Mindset You've Never Heard...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    TERRIFIC video. I especially like the blurb about the dentist "He is there to serve you". I know people who literally will not be their own advocates in matters because they defer. Dumbass--the person is there to provide a service for you and even if they know what they are doing they still...

    Really good (but obscure) business books?

    HOT! 
    Another one I just read that's not strictly business but definitely worth a read: Dressing to Win by Robert Pante It was originally published in 1984 but seems like it should be a classic and recommended to every business and job seeking person. It's a fascinating look into the psychology...

    The Etsy MEGA Thread... Best Practices, Use, Etc.

    HOT! 
    OOOOOH, I somehow missed this thread! I've been selling on Etsy for a number of years, but I've not fast laned any aspect of it. Always working on ways to do that, though. I used to sell handmade wedding stuff but the brides--AAAAUUUGGGGH! I have found success flipping vintage stuff on there...

    Weirdo IG Account Using Our Unique Hashtags.

    MARKETING 
    I would stick a fork in my eye if someone did this to me. One of my biggest pet peeves is inaccurate hashtags on social media. Partly it's my OCD need for accuracy, and partly because it's just stupid and unhelpful. If I am looking at, say, what people are flipping on eBay, then I don't need to...

    Are you ignoring the gold right in front of you?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hmmm, I've done government accounting, fast food management, and run a handmade business. If I had been a CPA, MAYBE I could be a contract employee (and I used to pay the freelancers bills, and holy heck, they made a lot). I'm sure there's an untapped gold mine somewhere in my past. *puts on...

    Eh, I think people are weak enough that they do stuff like that without it being a setup. More like an idiot trap than a honey trap. :rofl:

    First 100 Products Created and Sold

    I live there too! You seriously cannot underestimate the advantages of living cheaply. Someone once got angry at me for living somewhere cheap in a relatively low cost house (which is paid for!), as though it's the worst thing in the world and how could I relate to their problems? No, bro, I'm...

    I can't help you with your resume because I haven't written one since the 90s. But if you want to flip successfully, I can help with that. Read up on what Gary Vee has to say about it. Also, hit up estate sales. They're not all hoity toity and filled with antiques. There is perfectly ordinary...

    I got a rock. No, I got a big fat D-, but I assumed worst case scenario for everything, because I'm an optimist like that. It did make me think, though, about how I could raise the grade.
