    To E-Commerce Store Owners – Questions for Lunch Meeting?

    Sounds interesting Mike, let us know how it went. If he sells that much, he probably reached a large scale and faces challenges in operations and employee management. Since operations (fulfilling orders, keeping stock etc) are usually not a big problem for a new store, I would ask him about...

    How to: Multiply $100 from buying/reselling from Craigslist

    HOT! 
    Just had a sweet deal come through today. Bought a 95 ford windstar from an old lady for $500 Sunday (she was asking $750) and then immediately reposted on CL with good pictures for $1500. Two days later got an offer for $1200, talked to a couple of other interested buyers and ended up selling...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Bought a 95 ford van for 500$ two days ago, got a buyer today for 1200$. Definitely bigger profit margins there compared to Iphones, but also bigger risks. Ryan, I like the fact that you have market control in your area. But if it is small enough for you to control, it probably means its small...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    To make sure I understand the question: A guy is offering you 150$ on CL that sells for 200$ in Ebay with shipping? If so, the answer is depends. How much you bought it for and how much you want to make? There isn't a tight price correlation between CL and Ebay, since many people on CL dont do...

    Lately there have been many threads about fastlaners wanting to execute their internet business ideas: "where can I learn how to program?" "what programing languages should I use?" "how to outsource my website development?" "how to develop an iphone app" I thought, why not gather the answers...

    If you are serious about your fastlane plan and serious about your girl, both of them are going to have to get along :chatter: If that works, I think it's about priorities, efficiency and focus. Work all the time you work, spend quality while you are not working. It didn't work out well for...

    Woohoo! great news about the occupancy Russ :) Registration worked fine for me. Might want to add some kind of description of what it includes once you get the time, so someone who hasn't attended before will have a better idea of what they are paying for. Thanks!

    Business Philosophy 101

    MINDSET 
    I like the idea of value based thinking. What value do you bring the organization? What is it you are really contributing to your employer/customers? (selling appointments vs answering phones) Are you concentrated with the small picture (getting a temp payroll cut) or big picture? (keeping a...

    Can Someone Please Explain Angie's List to Me?

    The big difference between the two is quality. ServiceMagic does lead generation for contractors who work with them. A client inputs his work needed and contact info, this info is sold to a number of contractors working with the company who then call up the client. Big conflict of interest for...

    Building a website need some advice

    An easy solution to get something up quickly is to use a platform like wordpress, and use listing plugins for the events, and a forum plugin. You probably need 0 programming for this solution. Otherwise, you would probably need to learn languages like Php and Sql for the progarmming parts, as...

    Need to know how to plan an app

    I think that Evaluating the demand should come before #3. Who will use this app? how many potential "customers" are there for it? Are they businesses or private people? Is it for DJ's, Web developers, Gamers etc?

    By financial model I mean how is your product going to make money? Download for free and use adsense? Charge per download? Virtual money within the app? etc. About costs, just outline the most important specs your app requires, meet up with local developers, and get an estimate from them. They...

    I think you have it pretty much figured out: As you mentioned, it would be beneficial from an SEO standpoint to have the keyword url rather than the numbers and symbols url. About the suffix of .php vs .html, I think that people prefer the .html better, although it shouldn't matter too much...

    Think business now, solve technicalities later Hey Buck, I feel like you might've jumped into the execution part without doing the proper DD first. It would be a shame to see you invest time & money on the idea, just to realize it wasn't worth it in the end. I suggest you take a step...

    Do you have a business card? No, I'm all out.

    I agree with the point made about doing business vs "being in business". I think there is another important point worth noting: Formal education and work (9-5) teaches people to value Time & Effort over Effectiveness and Results In some way, it programs people to feel satisfaction from their...
