    I got an idea to start. What do you think about it?

    HOT! IDEA 
    There are plenty of great conversations here about that. Just look at the Gold and Notable threads. And use the forum search page for Facebook, Instagram, Adwords, SEO, whatever you'd like to learn about. Nice! The thing that comes to my mind right away is, can you sell directly to music...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    One of the developers might also be a "biz guy." Or, the company or the department might be run by technologists. This is a big difference from the advertising/promotions department. For emotionally based ad copy, you need to convince an ad manager or client that you can emotionally connect...

    The only three sources of business value

    Value tip #2: combining completed features Today's little essay on building more value into products and services comes from MIT's Axiomatic Design methodology. Your product or service design should be based on a prioritized list of requirements. Once you have found a way to meet each...

    The only three sources of business value

    Thanks. By the way, I should make a point early in the thread that my postings here are 100% original content from me, unless I have a quotation with attribution. The value creation essays are for the benefit of MJ's forum members and may be redistributed by MJ's forum system, but I reserve...

    Time for most important business decision of my life.

    If you can replace fixed costs with variable costs, that would help make your accountant smile. Even if there's no per-unit savings, it would be nice to be able to easily scale up and down without having to hire and fire workers directly, or negotiate a real estate lease for changing...

    Time for most important business decision of my life.

    The way you've described it, seems a no-brainer to do the necessary liquidation wholesale rather than retail. Option 1, retail, worst case scenario: It takes a long time to sell off the inventory. Whenever it does sell, you have huge transaction costs in terms of time, that keep you from doing...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    I withdraw my recommendation of copywriting and replace it with a recommendation you consider technical writing. Ad copy is writing to create an emotional appeal with an audience, so that they feel more eager to buy. Many reasons this isn't coming easy to you now, but no worries. Technical...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    He's answered that: literally no money and no credit to be able to make a move without arriving homeless. I think it's reasonable for him to want to do an online business to make enough money to move. He's made clear he's willing and eager to move as soon as it's realistically feasible. I...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    Excellent! Nice find about looking for alternative wording that might seem to say thing, but it comes across in a more positive emotional tone. When you are clear on what you want to say, and who you want to say it to, then it will be easy to get clear on what communication channels to use...

    Why are there no “guru” courses on carpet cleaning?

    This forum's like Dr. Who's TARDIS, even if you've been down the hallway before, some new rooms have magically appeared since you were last there... some of them filled with unexpected wonders, some with scary monsters inside! Make sure sonic screwdriver's in hand, and go explore!

    Under 18, know web design but can't get a contract because of age. Any advice?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    I have an idea about the legal question of "too young for a contract." In the U.S., there's the Small Business Administration, which has offices all over the country. In most offices, there's some free business consulting available. The consulting might not be state of the art for tecnology...

    What mobile data plan do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's not true at all. No matter how you connect to the public Internet, whether by wi-fi, cellular data plan, wired access, the very meaning of the public Internet is that your message or file is broken down into data packets, and those packets get passed along by any number of third parties...

    Dubidu's Execution....Thread :-)

    EXECUTION 
    Nice update. Glad I could help with some inspiration. I'm somewhat familiar with the basics of US patents. I have never before heard the terms registered or unregistered design rights. Is that a UK thing? I do know that in the US, only a patent lets you take the strongest form of legal...

    Dividend Stock, it's good if it's up, but what if it goes down?

    INVESTING 
    Everything else in your list is fundamental analysis of the company. Are you not a fan of technical analysis? (I mean this as an open-ended question, in case it hasn't come up in the forum before. Or if there's already a forum about fundamental vs. technical analysis.)

    The only three sources of business value

    Value tip #1: think about End Times Today's essay on value creation will look at The End Times. No, this isn't a Biblical warning. Steven Covey passed along the wise advice, "Begin with the end in mind." When we deal with products and services in today's world, we see that most offers come...
