    Going against the Fastlane

    Hell. No. I made that mistake last year for almost 6 months. I felt like I was going NOWHERE, so I came back to it and am never turning back. There is too much opportunity to go in any other direction. But best of luck.

    Consumer debt, lesson learnt

    MINDSET 
    Step one: Get off of the sidewalk. Congrats for taking responsibility for your actions, it's hard being a young guy and not doing stupid stuff with your money. Especially when all of your friends who are your age are out buying new cars, etc.

    Bodybuilders - what do you measure

    When I was 16 I used Bodyspace, then I said to hell with the arm measuring bullshit and started training for powerlifting competitions. Whatever kind of app you are planning to make, include a good 1RM calculator.

    *2* My Profitable Proposal For Those that Can Think In The FAST LANE *2*

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I just don't understand why this relentless tirade is allowed to continue. I feel that if the Op were removed, we could all return to the things that really matter. Because this shit is of no value to anyone. Not the Op, not the viewers, not the 17 year old investor, and definitely not for this...

    *2* My Profitable Proposal For Those that Can Think In The FAST LANE *2*

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Dear OP, I have devised an idea and plan tonight that seems vaguely similar to your post on BHW. In conceptual theory that is. So in response to your arrogance and complete disrespect to this forum I would like to issue a challenge to you. First to market wins, I surely hope you get your...

    Partner new website

    I'll come in with you. I'll need 85% equity in the business and the option to cash out monthly. What do you say?

    Perhaps is planning an "original" Facebook, Google+, Youtube, Instagram, and Twitter followers scheme to masquerade as a social media marketing company. Like that hasn't already been to death already.

    Coffee Lid Sells $1 Million

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Sounds to me like a good time to make decorative mason jar koozies. Licensing opportunities galore. I'd imagine something like this is in for the hipster crowd, they do love nostalgic shit. :P

    Anticipating Future Server Requirements

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Find a benchmark test to find out roughly what your server can handle. I'd link you but I'm on my phone. :/ The key for your situation would be to find one where you can accurately emulate the conditions that you anticipate. They are also very good for testing your server before running high...

    Best resources on marketing

    MARKETING 
    There is no single resource or simple answer to this question. It all depends on the product/service and the market you are selling it to. Some things do very well with paid traffic, some do well with email, some do well with SEO, some do phenomenally with offline marketing. It depends on so...

    With what should you start when you were 17?

    My recommendation is work for someone else for a while, and read, research, and test in your free time. You can start at any end of the spectrum, but I'd start off reading books on sales and sales psychology. Influence by Robert Cialdini is a good outline that will help you in your sales...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    My thoughts exactly. Get their product, use it to improve on your prototype, and smash them. I wouldn't look at this as a bad thing at all, more like like a silver lining. Perhaps their design principles will help you take your product to the next step without all of the tedious testing. Keep...

    Building a Forum!

    You could have a really high value forum and charge admission. Several IM related forums charge over $100 per month just to use them, and there are tons of members. 1,000 members = $100k/mo. Keep in mind, this is premium content they are offering alongside expertise in specific areas.

    How to turn a YES into a sale

    STM is a gold mine, there is no doubt about that. Sooo many resources, ideas, case studies. Either way, the idea is great. It flows directly with Robert Cialdini's principle of reciprocation. You give someone something for free and they feel obligated to do something for you. This also a good...

    Am I bitting off more that I can chew or leaving a lot on the table ?

    Really, exact match domains don't play as much importance to SEO as they once did. In almost every instance I can think of, if you are geotargeting always go for the area with the most potential search volume, or population. Get on Google Adwords keyword tool and take a look at what the results...

    Candy Crush Brings In $633,000 Per Day

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The game can become very frustrating, especially when you only get 5 lives to start with. After the lives are depleted you have to wait 30 minutes for each one to recover, have your friends share them with you on FB, or buy them for $0.99. Being such a low price point, I'm assuming most people...

    What to do with 500K

    I would be on the lookout for businesses for sale. I haven't checked out Flippa in ages, but they generally have a few high income sites/businesses for sale at any given time. The more passive, the better. Or depending on whether or not the minimalist life is for you, a 5% return from high yield...

    50K cash right now to invest. What to do?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    A fastlane business of course. :) Really, if had 40-50k right now, it would be going straight into my business. Outsource some work, speed things along. Things would just be moving so much faster.
