    Predicament about name

    I was thinking using the word "Christian" could lead to issues/oddities. Specifically im talking about consulting, but could also be applied to future businesses that dont focus on a specific product. Butit seems like not so much.

    Predicament about name

    That wasnt necessarily the point. The point was using "Christian" in the name. I could say "Christian & Associstes Consulting" or "Christian Software" etc.

    Predicament about name

    Hey all. I've always been curious about this, asking now. Tons of businesses are named after founders, and I think they sound great. However, my last name is Christian. Do you guys think this could lead to problems if I name something like "Christian & Associates" ? I was also considering...

    Bootstrapping $2k as a youngster

    HOT! 
    Don't want to put in time to learn to flip (not that hard for basic items. Hell, look on Gamestop.com, see what video games and consoles sell for, buy bundles at cheap prices, buy a couple of cheap-o games, put it together to form a bigger bundle, easy profit. Relatable topic there), you don't...

    Helping out a 3rd world country

    Understand what a third world country is first. It's a country that did not align with communists or nato during the cold war. back to topic, start a non profit if you want to help, target money if you want profit.

    Cost of Developing an App Across All Platforms

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Downloads, Downloads, Downloads. That's how you promote it. Apple may not push it on their "Featured", but one swipe over to the "Top 100" and if you have 10M downloads, you'll be there.

    Cost of Developing an App Across All Platforms

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Most apps like that are free and then handle monthly subscriptions inside of the app. App Stores take a % (iOS more than Google Play) of sales, so if you're having monthly subscriptions, make the app free and then handle payments with PayPal, to avoid the platform taking a % (PayPal's % cut is...

    Cost of Developing an App Across All Platforms

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Xamarin uses C# to basically wrap native code. So you won't see any kind of performance hit and you can access native functions of each platform with Xamarin as well. And Xamarin apps don't require a connection to the internet (PhoneGap does, and of course if...

    There are different multiple platform tools you can use, depending on your needs. If you don't need to access native functions, you can use stuff like PhoneGap, HTML5, etc. If you do, the best way to develop cross-platform is Xamarin Studios. If you've got a huge budget, Xamarin is easily the...

    Funny you mention that, I'm actually starting a small side social media management business. Starting at one client and then I decided to just try to expand from there. I'm going to look at stuff like the Google App Engine (though I don't think I can use that specific one) but I fear I'll have...

    Right, that's what I was thinking. I guess I should have also thrown this into the OP and ask which was preferable. Get members and scale servers with profit.
