    re tech stack. I highly recommend AWS hosting for backend and using AWS Sam for deployment. You get access to a ton of great infrastructure like queues, event bus, storage, automated db backups, etc. You can build 99% of mvps using just FAAS approach (ie lambdas) and it is very cost efficient...

    How to start getting Sales in 24 Hours via Facebook ads ( Low Budget AD strategy )

    MARKETING 
    Thanks. I took a look at this, however I'm very skeptical, some of this is because I'm biased against Alex Becker who promotes/created this tool. Maybe I'm wrong but he gives me serious fake guru vibes... However, the main reason I'm skeptical is because I couldn't find (quickly by browsing...

    How to start getting Sales in 24 Hours via Facebook ads ( Low Budget AD strategy )

    MARKETING 
    I already find Facebook ad attribution is pretty spotty. I primarily advertise on FB for my online store and I am fairly confident 90% of my sales come from facebook, however Facebook only attributes ~60% of my sales to my ad sets. The others are unattributable and I've had this problem since...

    steady Ecommerce biz with unique product – learning to grow and would love to hear your thoughts!

    MARKETING 
    I think adding additional features is good but I would recommend that as a separate more expensive product. That way you have multiple offerings for different customers. First time buyers will often gravitate towards the cheapest product you offer and if they like it will purchase the higher end...

    How would you spend this money?

    Sounds like some variation of “if I imagine things with enough emotion they‘ll come true” @v1nci i suggest dropping the mental masturbation and focus on building something to deliver value. Focus your energy on that. I think these sort of mental games are just ways to feel productive when the...

    Do you think that the central banks will ruin crypto with their own currency and shut out others?

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    The answer is because the government has a monopoly on violence and coercion through violence/prison, etc - same reason why you have to pay your taxes regardless of whether you think it's just. It's really got nothing to do with efficiency of fiat currencies or traditional finance. IMO gov...

    I didn't read all the posts but I suspect that you just poked a nerve on people who are working hard trying to create their own thing (and it's taking longer than expected), I wouldn't take it personally. I worked in tech for 11 year and was in leadership positions at two fortune 500 software...

    To the person with multiple inventions

    FWIW I have an e-commerce business and a software business. My accountant told me that if I plan on selling them at some point separately (and not as a package), it's better (tax wise) to split them early and avoid trying to do it right before a sale (if they were both under some umbrella...

    @James Fake - what data are you using to drive those models? If you've already explained this forgive me (this thread is enormous now), just curious what inputs you're using to create these graphs of the future?

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    Thanks for the response. There seems to be conflicting opinions on this. What I've read is that limits are important as market orders could cause you to sell for an extremely low price (again in the event of a flash crash) whereas if you set a limit (with some reasonable delta from the stop...

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    I'd like to put in a stop loss order just to protect some profits in the event things turn bearish so i don't have to keep frequently checking prices. However, I'm a bit concerned about posting a stop and having it trigger in a flash crash. I know I can trigger a limit order instead of a market...

    I think @ChrisV post deserves more consideration from the perspective of what happens if gov (like the US) bans the use of crypto. Forget whether it is likely to happen, just assume it did happen and try to figure out the consequences of that, because it is a very real possibility. I can't say...

    Hey @GulpinSculpin , Websites are assets and yes you can buy them, the level of passivity will depend on how well you can manage your systems. For buying content based sites this basically means how well you can systemize content creation and delivery. There is a thread on here where someone...

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hardest part for me was knowing when to stick with an idea and when to drop it. You don't want to have shiny object syndrome and you may just be just a few steps from gold, at the same time, you may not be. It's hard working on something through the desert of desertion and you need to be able to...

    USA company doing FB ads in Europe ...legal?

    MARKETING 
    Google facebook ad policies, they have a list of things you can't promote. If you can't find what you're looking for then hit the contact button, a facebook rep will tell you if it would violate their policies. Probably better than just running a test ad which may get through and later flagged...
