    Think I have a limiting belief on how much volume can actually be sold per day…

    MINDSET 
    Starting from 0, if I was in your place, I wouldn't try to become the next Jacobs or Merrild. $2.50 is a tiny margin, you said you donate half but even $5 is tiny. You'd have to get a sale for under $2 just to make $0.50, and getting a sale for $2 is tough. Instead, I'd go even more niche...

    Drone idea.

    IDEA 
    Someone already had a similar concept a while ago on the forum, and I still feel the same way - DJI is dominating because they are covering all of the needs. Need an affordable drone for taking amazing social media content? DJI Mini series. Want to step it up? Mavic, FPV series. High-level...

    thinking about creating a home bodybuilding app

    IDEA 
    There are lots of apps out there, and most elite-level lifters have their own apps. There's nothing to be innovated. At the end of the day, it's a simple process, most just lack the discipline part of it. This works when promoted by elite powerlifters or super popular influencers.

    Planning to start a lead generation agency

    IDEA 
    Generate leads for yourself first? Then do the same for your clients? Isn't that what a lead generation agency is all about? I'm a marketer across a variety of fields, and lead generation is one of the services I provide. However, it was NOT the first service I provided because I had no idea...

    Moving to Bali

    HOT! CHAT 
    How many countries have you visited? Working remotely, I've been fortunate to visit nearly 30 in the past 5-ish years. Initially, I did it just for the experience, but now I'm also thinking: "Would I live here?" Turns out, when (almost) every country becomes an option, it's really difficult to...

    Solving Posture from First Principles

    EXECUTION 
    I've had lordosis since I remember myself. Have been going to the gym consistently for about 4 years, gained about 25kg/50lbs, and am still quite lean (15% body fat or so). The lordosis is still there as I slacked off on core, abs, and hamstring training. Strong quads and strong back versus...

    Solving Posture from First Principles

    EXECUTION 
    Only if you consciously work on not having any aysmetrics, muscular imbalances, etc. Working out is better than not, but the average workout routine isn't enough, you'd need to add specific posture exercises (both strengthening and stretching).

    This website's UX sucks!

    OFF-TOPIC RANT 
    You might be alone on this one. It functions perfectly, is easy to navigate, and performs all the functions you'd expect from a forum. I personally wouldn't want any modern design trends in it, I'm here to read valuable content not get my daily feed of dopamine (although I get some of that...

    Copywriting - how to get started?

    MARKETING 
    Same, but unfortunately, it's super common for SaaS founders to spend a lot of time building and very little time selling. I've seen the classic: "I've spent 12 months building X, what now, how do I sell it." more times than I'd like.

    Copywriting - how to get started?

    MARKETING 
    If you only need to do a copy for your own business, don't buy a course. The longer I do copywriting, the fewer tricks I use. Others already shared great ideas, I'll just reinforce them. Step 1: Write a pitch your product with the main benefits included in 1 or 2 sentences (the shorter the...

    Online courses from famous people aka Influencers

    PEOPLE CHAT RANT 
    I have never bought a course like that but I've worked with people selling courses (life coaches, business coaches, fitness coaches, crypto gurus, real estate gurus). What I'd do instead is sell a service. Any service digital or in-person - website development, gutter cleaning, anything. You'll...

    Opinion and feedback needed for starting a business and community in Hair removal industry!

    IDEA 
    I used Reddit as well. Traditional comparison websites or manufacturer websites are rarely objective, I read personal experiences about what was effective. I bought what was commonly suggested, and said to get results the quickest.

    Opinion and feedback needed for starting a business and community in Hair removal industry!

    IDEA 
    I said: "Give me an example." Skew me Braun Silk Expert Pro 5, or an in-clinic laser treatment service. What can be done better? What's the single group of individuals that need the solution yet the current ones don't fit them? We have a specific scenario here, and what you proposed couldn't...

    Opinion and feedback needed for starting a business and community in Hair removal industry!

    IDEA 
    Right, as I said, no personal experience. Just what I've heard (that in-clinic sessions cost more but are more effective and lasting). Theoretically, I can imagine how a large, super-specific (this counts as super-specific) audience could offer leverage and your idea could only be one of the...

    Opinion and feedback needed for starting a business and community in Hair removal industry!

    IDEA 
    Give me an example. I've done some research as I was buying one for my girlfriend. Specific for an avatar? Male cardio athlete version that's the same just in a different package? A non-binary version in rainbow colors? As I said before, if you want it to be effective, you need to do in-clinic...

    Opinion and feedback needed for starting a business and community in Hair removal industry!

    IDEA 
    I'd focus on the solution first and just get to selling. What would be your content? Initially, you can review and educate people on various hair removal methods, but how long can you keep doing that? And how long are people going to be in that community and engage with content about hair...

    Question for the lead gen pros...

    MARKETING 
    Most agencies and specialists have a monthly retainer + ad spend requirement. I charge more in the first month, less in the following months. On Google I guess the ads themselves are simpler to create, on Meta, it would depend on how many ads are created, static images or video editing also...

    Question for the lead gen pros...

    MARKETING 
    As @Black_Dragon43 said in lead generation and performance marketing in general it's a simple formula: money invested < money earned = good money invested = money earned = most likely investing again and it's going to either be good or bad money invested > money earned = bad $500 is not...

    What is the best sales advice you've learned and can impart?

    GOLD! HOT! MARKETING 
    I recently figured out what I look for when deciding whether I want to close a client or not (I can't close everyone because I need them to profit from investing in me), and there are really 2 main things that I believe matter sales: 1. Clarity. What problem are you solving and for whom? IT...
