    What sort of an internet business would you do if you had $50,000 to start with?

    HOT! 
    NOTABLE! - $3,000 to $1,000,000 in 15 months: HOW TO DO IT Maybe this thread will spark something for you. Sounds like you have a lot of experience already. I'm surprised you couldn't come up with something yourself

    Customer Acquisition for IT Services Business?

    Your website looks very good and professional, so I don't think that is the problem. One small thing suggestion though, change the CTA to "Get a FREE Consultation Now" instead of "Schedule Appointment" Have you tried direct mail? I don't know your market but off of my intuition it seems like...

    The "Did You Know?" Thread...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Did you know that more men are raped than women in the U.S if you include prison? And the margin is probably greater than we know, because prison rape is more widely underreported too. Sources: Is the US the only country where more men are raped than women? | Jill Filipovic More men raped in...

    Supplement idea: manufacturers cannot produce it - what to do now?

    IDEA 
    5 manufacturers giving you a "No" is way too small a number for you to give up on this idea. Keep pushing away. Only once you have 200+ manufacturers tell you they can't make your supplement, then you can consider your other options. This is unrelated to manufacturing, but I recently had to...

    What watch/es do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm a big watch guy but don't buy watches at this point. The only watch I'm rocking right now is an all-time classic (and admittedly over-worn): the Seiko SKX007K with an oyster bracelet. Extremely versatile in terms of style (works great with a Perlon strap, NATO, Tropic, jubilee, oyster...

    Car Accident App(Need Feedback!)

    Agreed. I don't think many people would preemptively download this app. The chance of getting in a car accident is statistically low, and most people assume: "It would never happen to me" or "I'm a good driver."

    And if you don’t have anything working (like me), keep failing until you do. At least that’s the approach I’m taking.

    Business Validation as a Service

    HOT! 
    You tell me, man. In validating your own business idea, what was your plan for marketing your services? Aren't you supposed to be an expert in bringing businesses to fruition? ---- Regardless, here's my thoughts because maybe they'll help someone else reading this: Where do your prospects...

    New venture Website, Looking for feedback

    HOT! 
    Agreed that OP needs a portfolio. But at this point he can walk into businesses with his photos and videos (which OP posted earlier) and try and get clients on board. I'm thinking about it this way: what is the one thing that will move OP's business forward? Making a website? Or getting...

    New venture Website, Looking for feedback

    HOT! 
    Obviously a website is important for businesses in todays age. I'm a web developer. Websites are important. But talking to prospects is FAR more important initially than building a website. Thousands of businesses run without websites. OP needs to validate his idea. OP needs to get clients...

    New venture Website, Looking for feedback

    HOT! 
    Just to name a few: - Nav bar font too big on desktop - You should have a CTA below your headline - Homepage has very little text, tell about your services - Your dealer, motorsports, and private pages go to Squarespace instead of staying on your domain I don't think your website is that...

    Launching Info Product to overcome an anxiety

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the links. Those were good to watch. I wouldn't have even considered my 1500+ email list "leads" though, because I didn't even really know what I was selling. I had it all backwards: I built the traffic and then tried to come up with something to sell them when I should've came up...

    Celebs indicted, many others: college admissions scandal

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Doubtful. I skimmed the affidavit and one student flew down to LA from SF to take the SAT. The student got "assistance" answering questions during the exam, got extended time even though had no valid reason, and had someone correct her answers afterwards. The students had to have known

    Celebs indicted, many others: college admissions scandal

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Agreed. The funny part is that these families don't need their kids to attend college (let alone elite colleges). They do it for the appearance and prestige of elite colleges and because their kids want to party...

    Celebs indicted, many others: college admissions scandal

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I actually have some personal connections to this. Absolutely wild. I always had the gut feeling there was some shady stuff going on. Paying upwards of $50k to cheat on the SAT. Paying over 2,000 shares of FB stock (over $150k) to get into UCLA. Posing as recruited athletes. Just to name a few...

    Lex DeVille's 2019-22 Step-By-Step Upwork Tutorial for Brokeass Bootstrap Beginners Who Need Cash Now!

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Awesome stuff, Lex. I'm going to be following along. Quick question: I submitted my application and my account was created almost immediately saying "Welcome to Upwork." Does that mean it was approved? Must be some sort of algorithm if they were able to do it so quickly.

    Launching Info Product to overcome an anxiety

    EXECUTION 
    100% agree with @NMdad. Don't make the mistakes I did. I created a site and grew its traffic. I built an email list of over 1,500 emails which was growing at about 40/day without me doing any promotion of the site. I then tried selling ebooks and providing a service, but I simply did not know...
