    Any kid with a laptop can do it. That's why it's crowded.. Now the guy really wants to keep working with me and is trying to get free studio time etc. What a dumb situation.. Don't know the decision yet, stay or not.. potential is there..

    Entering the World of Videogames

    My pleasure, I suggest you both watch This Week In Venture Capital AND This Week In Startup from now on. It's a free source of incredible insight into entrepreneurship, it's like mentorship actually. ;)

    They are stubborn too.. no one is perfect tho.. Not many people have great work ethic too... Beat making is tough, friend is making beats, good ones but still it's tough to find people to pay for them. It's good time to be in music I believe tho. Just gotta find the right team..

    Been talking back and forth with the rapper, had some trust issues pop up and guy stalled us to delay the debut of the single. Almost lost his job so was very concerned and wants to spend more time on promotion before dropping the single... We have delayed it so long already and are frustrated...

    I don't know any sites that filter out the best articles from around the web about fitness (Don't want to be just a selection of articles from same sites every week too though)..There is one website that is like Digg but doesn't think it is very popular. It would be a time saver mostly. I might...

    My first attempt at a business - 95% failure

    Go guestposting on SEO blogs, esp. if you have different service you can have niche carved out.

    My first attempt at a business - 95% failure

    I think there is marketplace here... Why are you launching only on forums? Where is website? I think your results would be way better once you launch fully. You have been doing well I think, let us know more details on the business. It's not about ideas, it's about execution, so you seem a...

    Heard of DailyCandy.com, Thrillist.com or VitalJuice.com? First one was sold for 125... million dollars... WOOT! ;) Now I dont realistically expect that to happen again, but it could be a winner for me. If I can build this up subscriber base of tens of thousands, then there are options to sell...

    1st swing at the plate

    Definitely add CPA offer from video games, esp. online games that pay for sign up... Personally I wouldn't start a project like that but there is a need there. Good first business, a big name blogger Yaro Starak started similarly (maybe it was proofreading biz tho).. Good luck

    Yup, I think two could go together.. But I don't know any coding and I dont want to know it really because I tried (PHP, twice...) and it was boring. So I will start off with the version that can be fastest delivered to the user and see how people like the idea. If it works well, then expanding...

    Haha, absolutely, you are helpful! I will add some colors ;) Wonder why it took that long to load.. hmm.. Seriously rethinking the site concept, not sure if people need a newsletter like that, gonna do more search on it. Was really excited about the idea, but need to make sure. Future is mobile...

    Thnx guys, this one will be tough. I'm having doubts but if it doesn't work I will pivot it into something different to find a way to provide a lot of value and create a good business.

    My first attempt at a business - 95% failure

    Are you getting your customers only from one forum? If so maybe the that forum isn't good for that. Maybe mostly freebie seekers hang out there. Expand your marketing. Hell, make an offer here. Don't be secretive about it. SEO is important, it's changing but still needed..

    Now that's more like it :) I will work on redesigning it and try to make it even simpler, just focusing on the email subscription form and test how it converts. Need to build up a list to 10 000 people and then could try hitting angel investors with an offer. Never started a business with...

    On the brink of quitting this idea. The rapper I'm working with is not following up on his promises, is always late and that is just wasting my time. I'm really disappointing, our debut of the first single was postponed and I still haven't heard from him except for short blab with few excuses...
