    Building a subscription box business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I really like that... I think there is something in the "old marketing ways" as no one does it anymore. Weirdly it's probably an easy way to stand out from the crowd. Paid feedback sounds very valuable!!

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Update 27/08/2020 I've been building my socials to build some audience engagement, so thanks for the links @Andy Black. Numbers are nothing to shout home about just yet. I launched my landing page with paid Facebook ads now live which aim is to drive landing page visits and sign ups to hear...

    Flippa - Trustworthy?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Does anyone have any experience of buying sites through Flippa in the last year? How do you conduct due diligence and validate the numbers? There are a couple of businesses that really interest me, but how do you trust that the business hasn't inflated numbers for a period of time to increase...

    In pre-launch phase for new product VAE; looking to get a community ahead of the Indiegogo launch

    This looks super interesting. You've done a cracking job on your page, very clear and looks great. Out of interest, how did you get 6878 followers on your instragram with only 2 posts?

    Gymshark now worth $1.3bn+

    EXECUTION 
    Personally I'd argue that anyone who has built from a garage to a business worth $1.3bn is a visionary + a very hard worker. For sure, Gymshark absolutely nailed working with influencers specific for their audience and created crazy social proof. Literally every fitness person on insta wears...

    Gymshark now worth $1.3bn+

    EXECUTION 
    Amazing story that I've been following for a while. Gymshark is for me, one of the best stories of humble beginnings to an absolute superstar brand. Ben Francis the founder literally started by making his own gym clothes in his garage. His story is one of hard work mixed with being a visionary...

    Execution: Building a Novelty toy business

    got to say I'm jealous of your relaxing touring holiday. 100% - I would say that I've actually built a really nice relationship with my contact. I've used him for a couple of other things and feel like I can trust him (to a reasonable extent) which reduces some of the Alibaba headache. Thanks...

    Execution: Building a Novelty toy business

    For those that are interested, turns out my product was featured on https://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/uk/the-flying-F*ck-plane/ No idea how this happened, but it's resulted in 1000 visits, 25 orders and sold over 110 units in the last week now. I've reached out to the owners of the site to give...

    Where do you meet ambitious people?

    PEOPLE 
    I started on this new platform called lunchclub.. you basically get say a few times in your calendar that you're free in the week and they match you with someone to have a 1-1 video call with. I've been doing it for 5 weeks now and chatted to 9 people. It's been quite cool (minus a couple of...

    100% agree with you with on the above. I have experience of creating products and selling them, so I'd have slightly disagree with you on your vanity metrics point but understand the sentiment. There is not point trying to jump in a "sell" a half baked product which is ill-informed and...

    Execution: Building a Novelty toy business

    Update on my Novelty toy business... so retail sales are going very very poorly. Haven't had any since Feb (largely covid related). I'm speaking to a big online retailer, the margins might not work but it could result in a significant volume sale. My Etsy store has had an usual spike of...

    Ha what makes you think that? This week I've just finished building my first landing page (using ConvertKit) for one of my concepts. I'm getting a few friends to feedback on it before I launch it this weekend. I haven't rushed this stage, I'm giving it considered thought on the actual prop and...

    Thanks for posting it, really interesting seeing the inner works of sub box and to see how the owner is making fairly good modest returns on a low amount of subs. I wonder why they haven't been able to grow it more within 5 years though...
