    Relaying on hard copies and paperback?

    PUBLISHING 
    Is it effective to price ebooks next to nothing. And then rely on hard copy and paperback sales, coming from those ebook downloads/reads? How effective is this method?? Can anyone here tell? Maybe if you have your own list. And can send out promos and keep a conversation? Then link in the...

    What kinds of businesses work better in developing countries?

    EXECUTION 
    There are fortunes to be had in two billion different ways. You don't need to buy a book to learn that. It's just common sense. You need to learn how many business books operate. They add some kind of twist to something old and gray. In this case it seems to be "third world countries, becomes...

    Hur dur dur “give value and you’ll become rich”

    You mean like all those Get-Rich-Quick-Scams you can find on the Internet? Some times people believe they get something out of totally worthless products too. LIke looking up to some washed up motivational speaker. It's not that they are less intelligent. It's just that they are less...

    Hur dur dur “give value and you’ll become rich”

    I agree with this. We live in a consumption society. Where people want the new thing, just because it's the new thing. So value is not always value but brainwashing people to believe they need things they don't need. Last year I got my first smart phone because the battery shut down on my 3310...

    Searching the marketing version of "The Millionaire Fastlane"

    MARKETING 
    I came across this book by accident yesterday. Someone mentioned the author in the comments on Bill Gates blog. He is a Global Warming skeptic. I found out he had a marketing/advertising book. I haven't bought it. But I plan to buy it. All reviews are 5 stars. So, seems to be the real deal...

    25 Rules To Build A Billion-Dollar Business

    BOOKS 
    Just because you got something to say. Doesn't mean that you are an expert on what you are about to teach or say. I truly hate the whole Motivational speaker thing. I don't know if this goes under that category. But you know. I can talk = I am a motivational expert = charge $5,000 a head for...

    Protection From Paypal Buyer Scam (Suggestion)?

    PEOPLE 
    You're losing 1 in 6,000-7,000 sales. And you can't handle the humiliation. Is that right?? Some of those ClickBank products gets like 20% refunds (uses 60-days money back guarantee) and are making millions. They must be losing sleep. You have the wrong attitude with this. Especially when it's...

    0 to $4 Billion in 2 years

    EXECUTION 
    Okay. I got it. Yeah. Sure. There are a ton of money in that business model. Ebay and Alibaba are two other examples doing the same thing. And they are making a ton of money. More so than Amazon. Talking net profit.

    0 to $4 Billion in 2 years

    EXECUTION 
    Yes. That's where we differ I guess. But I still see value in companies that have big reach. Like Twitter for example. Though, WhatsApp - $19 billion. That's ridiculous. The company have very little revenue...

    0 to $4 Billion in 2 years

    EXECUTION 
    Yes. That was kind of what I was saying. I like Twitter as a service. But I don't think the valuation is justified right now. When they are losing hundreds of millions a year. As I said before. Why would you invest into a company like Amazon when you can invest in Google or Ebay that are making...

    0 to $4 Billion in 2 years

    EXECUTION 
    Many people in Sillicon Valley are too snowed in on big promises of future growth and profits. In the real world (non-tech) you get in to bankruptcy. If you aren't profitable after a few years. Unless you want to milk shareholders. Like many floated companies do. Twitter will maybe be here in...

    0 to $4 Billion in 2 years

    EXECUTION 
    Yes. That's what I am talking about. I like Amazon from a consumer perspective. But I don't get why people buy shares when they can buy shares in Google or Ebay instead. Who are posting mostly profits in the billions of dollars.

    Possible Billion Dollar Idea... Can it REALLY happen?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Thanks for the response. I seriously don't think there is a market for the product I had in mind. Considering also as you said employee theft is the bigger one. It is 75% and customer theft is only 25%. Also I used Google keyword tool to find out searches on "restaurant theft". Only 40 searches...

    How often is it possible to clear your trash on your own in restaurants in the US? Or do most just leave everything at their table and walk out? I'm talking fine dining and causal dining. Happy if someone would answer. Sorry if it gets a bit off topic and I'm stealing the thread. Just this...

    Yeah. I read your first post again after I posted. Nice. But I will definitely throw you some money if I make millions.

    0 to $4 Billion in 2 years

    EXECUTION 
    When you have a business doing $200 million in net profit a year. Then you could maybe value it at $4 billion. But in the start up world. Everything is worth billions. Can even lose tens of millions a year. Year after year. And the company is still worth billions. It's the same balloon tech like...

    Possible Billion Dollar Idea... Can it REALLY happen?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Didn't think about the hygiene thing. Big no no. And as you said too. No fun going through the trash. A few holes in the plan with that detector thing I think. And time is always money if you need to dig through the trash.

    Think I've found a genius solution now. It's cheap to produce. And does the work. Without needing any advanced technology. Mind if I steal the market???? I be sure to throw you a bone if I get rich(millions of dollars). Because without this thread. It wouldn't happen. BOOOOOOOOM even better...

    Possible Billion Dollar Idea... Can it REALLY happen?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Seems like employee theft is $3-$6 billion a year. And I read another article that it counts for 75% of the thefts. I guess it comes down to 25% thefts from customers. Which would mean more money than what was stated in the article from chron. But I guess, maybe that was what went in the trash...
