    Product idea was taken, what to do next?

    IDEA 
    Attorneys are a lot cheaper than a legal battle over patent infringement. I agree that you should look over the patent yourself and come up with some potential ways to work around the patent, then take them to a patent attorney. You can find patent attorneys on Upwork for a fair price. I...

    Who do you follow and ignore on this forum?

    MINDSET 
    There is a list of some recommended forum members to follow although it is a bit outdated: GOLD! - Absolute Beginners Guide to TMF & TFLF Some additions I'd add to it would be @Walter Hay, @Fox , @Kak, and @ZCP. As for asking who to Ignore, that seems rude. Use your own judgement.

    Product idea was taken, what to do next?

    IDEA 
    1) Talk with a patent lawyer and they will tell you what they need. 2) You need to first come up with a design that does not infringe on the patent. You can either do this yourself or hire an engineer or product designer to do this for you after you consult with the patent lawyer. Then you...

    Unique E-Commerce Service - What do you think?

    First off, I think the idea is great and I totally see the value in it. I'd even consider being a customer. But personally I would never pay more for source files. I am paying for you to make me the files, I should own the files not you. What I would do is offer photorealistic product photos at...

    Walter Hay’s Sourcing Service.

    MARKETPLACE 
    Walter has been helping me out relentlessly since the day this marketplace ad was posted. He has found me over 30 manufacturers for the two products I have been sourcing which are very specific products.

    Customer Scheduling Struggles for Field Service

    My recommendation would be to restructure the timeframes you give your customers. Keep track of how long every job takes over a few week period, add them up and get the average length a job takes (including travel time), and use that to figure out a new timeframe to give your customers while...

    Business Battle: Rivals knocked me off of Instagram

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Why do they have to be rivals? Is there any way you can work together rather than against each other? Make it beneficial for both of you, then you'll both have no reason to be rivals.

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    I agree with everything you said. The lack of control is very dangerous if it is your main source of revenue. But if it’s just another sales channel I don’t see a reason not to add it in as another revenue stream, you just never want it to be your main.

    Is there a reason that they choose not to add on Amazon, eBay, or Walmart as extra revenue streams?

    Upwork: Conflict of Interest?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is so true. Time and time again I've gotten raises from jobs or large discounts from freelancers I am working with simply by asking. It is all about asking the right way and putting yourself in the right position. I would recommend this as well.
