    WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I had a great job that my dads connections got me, but by the time I was 20 I hated that job. I always had bigger goals and decided it was time to work towards them, and that wasn't going to happen if i stayed at that job. My moms reaction to me quitting was supportive, but I knew my dads...

    In the end only you will be able to make the decision but, the fact that you are even having these doubts says a lot already. No relationship is perfect by any means but a significant other should be supportive of your goals. It is not wrong or selfish to put yourself first. In the end you are...

    I'll start reading into them. I feel the mindset issue has to do with being too comfortable with my current situation, and also lack of confidence in my ideas.

    I was young when my dad had his shop but, he was also the mechanic not just the owner and it got rough on his body too. That was another reason he got out of it. I love cars, but being around it all the time starts to ruin it for me. Its something I enjoy as a hobby not as a career.

    Thats your opinion, like I said if i stayed at that job i never would have started anything. It drained my motivation due to the lifestyle it gave me. And I said at that burn rate I would have 2 years, I understand money is going to be put into a business. There are multiple ways to get capital...

    Now I dont want to waste anybody's time, including my own. As we all know time is limited. Im going to tell my story here, nothing crazy about it. I came out of high school knowing I didn't want to go to college because I didn't want to put myself into the same debt I saw my brother go through...

    That was already my plan to get the initial interest from them, and I think thats a good plan to get their business, Im just questioning if thats enough to get them to pre-pay for it and not turn them off. The larger competitors in this niche charge per click for posts to their site (.5-1.50...

    Thats not a bad idea, that would be great during start up. The only obstacle I see is convincing them to prepay before they have a trust built with me. Unless I give an incentive for prepaying.

    Good points, theres a lot to consider. I suppose testing methods is the best option to just find out what works best and seeing how the businesses respond.

    I agree, I dont like the idea of daily payment. The question becomes then whats the optimal way to last between payments with limited capital? Limiting daily spending on acquiring leads? Getting more capital isn't realistic until I have a proven track record.

    So I may be getting ahead of myself but I was running the numbers for a lead gen site, and am questioning the best solution for this problem. To get traffic to the site I am using adwords and fb ads, if I convert 10% of visitors into leads it'll cost about 6 dollars to acquire one lead. My...

    I understand the reason for the valuation, but my next question is why do social networks seem to wait so long to implement monetization methods? Does it increase their valuation to potential investors due to the social medias unknown potential?
