    I need some help on what I need to do to start

    IDEA EXECUTION QUESTION 
    Why wood over plastic? Why not any of the metals? What's the advantage? More eco-friendly (can you find data to prove it?)? Better tasting water? Then, the costs. On Etsy, a fancy handmade wooden bottle costs $50. Sure, you could use a simpler one but how much would one bottle cost you to...

    Starting a new business with a possible recession?

    QUESTION 
    Recession has always been and always will be possible. Winners don't stop winning because of it. Even during the recession, which I don't believe is a thing (just pivot to something else) a lot (A LOT) of services and products will still be purchased.

    Feedback would be helpful, it's my first online store ever

    IDEA 
    As usual, it's just another Shopify store with random dropshipping products. There is no brand, or story, or science, or social proof. The copy sucks, ChatGPT is free, use it. The products are not trustworthy, they need to be explained, backed up by science, etc. Look up how Derek from MPMD...

    Please somebody take a look of my website. no sales

    SCALING 
    If I was you, that's what I would do: 1. Find 10 excellent examples. Most women celebrities have fashion/jewelry brands. Find them, study them, take notes and screenshots. 2. Design your store to match their stores. Design in fashion is super, super important. Shopify is great. Premium themes...

    Please somebody take a look of my website. no sales

    SCALING 
    Start over, from scratch. Do you genuinely believe you're building a women fashion brand, or did you just upload random clothing and accessory crap from aliexpress or wherever, and uploaded it all on a free template, hoping to make money because hey - women love buying clothes, right? It is...

    What do you think of my new website idea? One Ad at a Time with User Rewards!

    IDEA 
    Ad can't be the centerpiece. What do people see when they visit your site? It's not a blank page with a full screen ad, is it? This makes sense if you have stuff to say about a niche. E.g. you're into overlanding, share tips, tricks, stories, car/equipment reviews, and there's a single daily ad...

    What do you/your clients use to respond to leads?

    MARKETING PEOPLE QUESTION 
    The best tool out there is GoHighLevel, it's a powerhouse with tons of features. Specifically, for managing and communicating with leads that would be my top choice. It can do a lot more but for example their website builder is crap.

    Unpopular opinion: tell people about your business

    PEOPLE 
    As others said depends on what you're building/selling, but another point is worth considering: "WHY are you telling people about your business?" Because these people may become your customers, partners, and network that you can leverage, OR - you're doing it to boost your ego: "Look at me, I'm...

    Music/Rap - As a fast lane business

    IDEA MARKETING PEOPLE 
    Share this story on TikTok. I'm sure there will be someone offering you free beats and that's also a free way to build an audience. You might even get sponsored the equipment you need if you get enough viewers. It's free and takes 30 minutes a day to post a quality TikTok, start posting...

    Which digital businesses are most in need today?

    IDEA 
    All and any of them when executed well. Ideas mean almost nothing (everyone has them), execution is what matters. I know you wanted an easy way out - do X, guaranteed success, but that's not how it works. Every online business that exists can be improved, tailored to a different audience...

    Pallet Flipping

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Seriously, are you going to pay $2000 so someone tells you to contact places that might give free/cheap pallets, which you then refurbish, and resell to companies that might need pallets? What you need is a few power tools, a room to operate in, a cheap supply of materials, a Gmail account, and...

    What would be some good ways going about making an E-Commerce website?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    It's $1 per month for the first 3 months, if you cannot profit at least $40 after 3 months, you're doomed to fail anyway. Besides that, running ads is expensive. During this free trial, you can also take any and all of the premium templates and customize them as you want (your draft thing)...

    What would be some good ways going about making an E-Commerce website?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is exactly it. Statistically, the most likely scenario is this - he/she spends months custom-coding the store, it's still not ideal and is way more complicated to manage than Shopify, while Shopify premium themes are aesthetically superior. And the biggest issue - "I ran ads and got some...

    What would be some good ways going about making an E-Commerce website?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Customers don't care if you've coded your website, a premium Shopify theme with a solid product and excellent marketing will be superior unless we're talking about an 8-figure+ brand that can afford to spend a couple of million to develop a custom solution (and assuming it's even necessary).

    Looking for a business

    INTRO 
    Then I guess you have a weakness to deal with - you need other people's resources and money, and they'll only give them to you in exchange for something they value more. I'm not sure if you're just plain dumb, or you've been bullied a lot, everything is built through a collaborative effort. You...

    Looking for a business

    INTRO 
    You don't like people and want nothing to do with them but want their money? Guess what, I, as someone in the people category, don't give a F*ck about what you want, and I'm sure most people feel the same. Most online businesses can be run anonymously but as an introvert myself, I'd suggest you...

    I am 16 with nothing and Lost

    INTRO 
    It's tricky, there is no best skill, if you do anything better than most, it's a success. I started as a copywriter, then started building websites and funnels, then email automation, ads, etc. Now, I work with multiple long-term clients providing them with a mix of these services (e.g., for...

    I am 16 with nothing and Lost

    INTRO 
    You have something that I'm confident many people on this forum would pay millions for - TIME. I don't mean to discourage, but imagine those in their 40s or later feeling the same, don't end up in that situation, take action TODAY! If you dedicated yourself to ONE thing (assuming it's a solid...

    Making very little sales and not sure about long term with current business - Advice?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    As always, I didn't mean it to discourage you. You know very well that you didn't put much effort into building the page, you just listed the products on a free theme. It must look good (it helps you look credible), and you must talk about your products - quality, benefits, etc. to sell the...

    Making very little sales and not sure about long term with current business - Advice?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    Your site is crap and looks like a scam. You don't deserve sales with effort this low. First, find your top competitors, and see how they present themselves. Take notes. Example 1: CBD UK & EU - HempElf CBD | 100% Organic & 3rd Party Lab Tested Example 2: HempHash | Buy CBD Hash and CBD Hemp...
