    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    I work with a successful travel business, so I have some thoughts: 1. Websites are not on the priority list because profit margins rarely allow advertising to be viable. 2. Websites are still used, they are attached to a Google profile and social media - SEO/organic traffic. 3. The BIG...

    Glow in the dark rackquetballs/handballs

    IDEA 
    I think you are seriously underestimating how complex manufacturing is. A company of that scale has automated manufacturing lines that are designed to be precise and run consistently 24/7. They can't just "mix in Strontium Aluminate." Their goal is to ensure it keeps running exactly as is...

    Website Design & Development Productized Service

    IDEA 
    I sell websites for a living, so here's my take: Build it on whichever platform, package it in whatever way, set any price - it will work as long as [price of the service] < [return]. $500 websites are a commodity, because they're just pixels; they don't convert. $5,000 landing pages convert...

    Helping Vegan Brands Grow Ethically & Profitably

    MARKETPLACE 
    Welcome to reach out for a chat, and I'm a very reasonable person, won't charge you for a chat haha! Yeah, it was a useful experience though it didn't get far. A lot can be done with a powerful story and a genuine mission, but math is the ultimate decision makers. This time, the math made it...

    Feedback on my Facebook Ads?

    MARKETING 
    My first impression is that you're trying too hard. Marketing isn't always creative; sometimes it's just clear and well-targeted. I would try simple before/after photos of your cleaning services, or just the after photos. And the copy would be very short and simple - cleaning services [area]...

    Helping Vegan Brands Grow Ethically & Profitably

    MARKETPLACE 
    Hey, Didn't know this was still up, but sure, I'm open to chat. Honestly, I abandoned that project. The mission was genuine, but the math just wasn't there. Even though I found amazing suppliers (superior quality, fair pricing), the margins were low. Low margins work at scale, but I decide to...

    Why A Few Amazing Ads Sell Like Crazy While So Many Fail

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I would say highly brand dependent, but I firmly believe in trying EVERYTHING and then letting data guide you. I understand you'd prefer it if I was clear and direct, and gave you a specific strategy/template, but the longer I am in marketing, the more I realize how nuanced it is, and how many...

    Why A Few Amazing Ads Sell Like Crazy While So Many Fail

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Yes, I will always suggest getting a degree if you're relatively young (less important) and it's cheap/free (more important). It can only benefit you - you will learn things, you'll talk to smart people, you'll build connections, you'll be in a motivating/supportive environment, and if you'll...

    Why A Few Amazing Ads Sell Like Crazy While So Many Fail

    HOT! MARKETING 
    This is definitely not how those who understand profit margins and data present themselves. They understand that you don't disguise a sales pitch as an AI-generated (or at least heavily AI-redacted) "value post" in a forum where promotions must be either paid or posted on one specific thread...

    Why A Few Amazing Ads Sell Like Crazy While So Many Fail

    HOT! MARKETING 
    This is way too generic to be of any value. 90% of your "value post" is about feelings and assumptions, not actual technical details of creating winning ad campaigns. Angle strategy, various offers, creative testing, and tracking every single piece of data is how you win. Come up with 10...

    I'm 18. I'm Going To Lose $50K if I Can't Create CENTS in 6 Months.

    QUESTION INTRO 
    If the degree only takes 12.5 hours a week (even if it was 20), and your parents can comfortably pay for it, I'd say - take it. Not because it wouldn't be possible to generate that amount in revenue, but because you're young and a cozy backup option can only benefit you. At certain stages...

    I made a landing page using AI in about 10 minutes.

    MARKETING 
    Considering it's a service with a visual result, I want to see photos of your work. Do whatever it takes to get 2-3 customers just so you have some before/after photos and testimonials. Otherwise, it's just a template, not a business's landing page. Worst case, just find some realistic photos...

    Dating Apps are F*cking Broken, I'm Thinking of a Possible Solution

    HOT! IDEA 
    Right! That likely makes a big difference. I tried in Thailand, Bali, rather obvious that it's casual dating there, as I do not live there. Mostly, in Europe, Latvia, but located close to Estonia, so a mix of both Latvia and Estonia. Probably big differences between Brickel Miami, Canguu...

    Dating Apps are F*cking Broken, I'm Thinking of a Possible Solution

    HOT! IDEA 
    Just recently re-downloaded Tinder, and I'm not sure I get what you're planning to build. Sure, you shared that abstract "idea" of what's wrong with the current dating apps, but what is yours actually going to look like, and is it actually going to help "find the one"? My previous relationship...

    Tinnitus & Productivity go hand-in-hand

    HEALTH 
    I have not been diagnosed, but I relate to basically every symptom. Not the smartest approach, but I just don't want to take medication for anything brain/ mental health related. In a severe case, sure, trying a different medication is the right move, and, overall, tinnitus for sure is more...

    Tinnitus & Productivity go hand-in-hand

    HEALTH 
    I don't remember a time when I didn't have it. I think I've had it since I was a kid. I don't take any medicine; it's my default state, and I'm not even trying to "fix it" (what you resist, persists in this case). IF medicine was causing it, I'd stop the medicine (if possible). I don't know...

    Drop Your Whatsapp Numbers In The Comments, Let's Get To Know Each other!

    INTRO 
    I thought that was common sense, but I guess not. When you join a community that someone else has spent time and effort creating and still manages it on a daily basis, you should first introduce yourself, get to know people, let others get to know you, and then you can make more personal...

    Observations From Around the Globe

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Curious about this too - how do you even organize trips in Africa @MTF? Especially when staying rurally. A big must-do for me is to see gorillas in Africa. Uganda seems like the best spot, tickets are affordable when flying out from Europe, and accommodation is obviously cheap too, but I've...

    Entrepreneur House in Bali

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    Right! I met a guy who owns several retail stores in Dubai. He said he goes to Asia every year when it's too hot in Dubai (which is a weird concept to a European who feels like SEA is hot lol). Have also met freelancers making $10k+ a month, people with 6-figure remote careers, all sorts of...

    Entrepreneur House in Bali

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    T This, I was there just a week ago. Most people seemed to be in their early 20s to early 30s. Older people go to less crowded places and explore nature more.
