    HELP! my gf wants me to leave my 4yrold biz..need advice

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    It is 4 years in, you have no profits, a load of debt, and a business partner worried about image. You have a hobby/social club, not a business. If it was a business you could sell your interest and cash out.

    IDEA 
    Yes, I said that poorly, I probably should have said you are adding on to an existing software platform.

    $5 million Idea - Your Thoughts

    IDEA 
    Generally, software isn't patent-able, but the patent office has been doing screwy stuff the last 10 years (Amazon has a patent for one click checkout, really??) Plus it sounds like he is modifying existing code.

    $5 million Idea - Your Thoughts

    IDEA 
    So which is it? Are you using their resources or not? Using other peoples resources without their permission for personal gain is stealing. You better hope they never mention your name, or you have to show up on site for support. This is why I suggest you approach one of the other companies...

    $5 million Idea - Your Thoughts

    IDEA 
    If you are creating your fix using your employer's software license, their computers, lights and resources, unless you have a clause in your contract that says you can do all that and own it yourself, then anything you create will be owned by the company. I would approach one of the other...

    Is my product not sexy enough? I know there is a NEED but nobody seems to WANT it...

    Your analogy should have been Vitamins & Painkillers. People will pay huge $$$ for a painkiller, but even if they buy the vitamins for cheap, they usually just sit on the shelf. Take your product and see if you can figure out how to position it as the painkiller. As an example, think how...

    Ad Revenue Revenue Business Model: Opinion / Experience?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You can also have multiple ad units per page (your numbers are based on one ad unit). You can add in an interstitial, direct sales can get you above $5.00cpm rates in some niches (and above $20.00cpm in a select few). Throw in some affiliate sales (not the complete evil thing people here...

    Ad Revenue Revenue Business Model: Opinion / Experience?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Too many variables to give any good answers. CPM rates you quoted are high for my vertical - health & fitness, Google pays about 60% last numbers I saw, bandwidth depends on what you are serving, how many repeat visits, how much you host vs offloading to CDN or other server content....

    Why are Doctors such a$$ holes?

    HOT! 
    and on the other side of the coin, we set expectations that doctors can fix us after a 20 minute visit for things we have spent years getting ourselves into the condition we are in. It is estimated that 60-75% of patients lie multiple times during the interview or paperwork process, and hide...

    Paying off the Mortgage

    EXECUTION 
    I would also recommend that if you are going into debt to structure it with a 10 or 15 year mortgage, so you minimize the interest payments, and you put 20+% down so you don't have to carry mortgage insurance.

    Business ideas for 6 year old kids

    IDEA 
    I would encourage you to let your 6 year old be a 6 year old. Kids learn by emulating what they see, not being crammed into something. I made sure my kids saw me doing my own thing, enjoying the free time it gave me, now they are both in their 20's and one has his own company, successfully...

    Mobile Apps- Free with ads vs. app for $$$

    SAAS / APPS WEB/DIGITAL 
    Are you using your November - December cpm rates? Regardless, I say $1.00 you say $2.00 for 1000 ad views. How many of your users have generated 1,000 ad views? Unless you have an app that gets used multiple times a day and generates a lot of ad views each session, CPM is really hard way to...

    Why is it OK for you to STEAL from me?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I don't have a logical problem. I am seeing an ETHICAL issue. The ETHICAL issue is that a portion of users feel entitle to consume content I create and manipulate it in a fashion so I don't get paid, and LOTS of people see no problem in that. I don't do that, I create content, when people...
