    Bootstrapping and Flipping on Craigslist Self-Employed Work from Home'

    HOT! 
    This may break some sort of rule out there, but tell me if I am wrong. You could go to different places that sells bikes, or other products, and take photos of these products. Post them to Craigslist or Let go and see if they sell for the higher price. If it does, buy the product and than send...

    POWERFUL, untapped selling tactic

    MARKETING 
    I may have misread, but if you are also using Instagram for your business, I'd have to say that the best social proof is having a large following. Next to a large following would be to have people interacting with your photos. Taking pictures of how much people like your product or how much...

    Brush your teeth before you start a business!

    MINDSET 
    Such a simple thread, such great information. It brought back memories of a saying a very successful person once told me, "finish the most difficult task/goal you have for that day, that way you don't have to constantly be dreading that unpleasant task you must do."

    Online Business Start-Up - Marijuana Based Products

    EXECUTION 
    @konflikted thanks for the quick reply! My only concern is for taxes. Once I begin selling products I assume that my sales will have to be taxes and therefore I need to know what is being sold :) This has been on my mind for quite some time to be honest! I am on quite a strict budget. I...

    Young Entrepreneurs... Read This

    Awesome job @Solomon for taking action! I also agree with @AgainstAllOdds on this one though. I think you could expand this business 10x if you put just a bit of energy into expanding. Rather than hiring people, which costs money(paying them + insurance) and time(writing out checks.) If I were...

    Are you allowing them to run from 12AM - 12AM or are you giving them time restraints? I would be surprised if you could not reach your limit if you split up the work between 3 projects(2/2/3 accounts per project) and allowed them to run for the majority of the 24 hour day. I do not prefer to...

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    Try and open multiple projects. To be honest, I run 3 projects at all time and I only have 2 accounts. One for liking(2 different projects) and one combined project for photo sharing. If you have a lot of accounts I don't recommend doing 1 per project, but maybe try and spread them out so they...

    I wouldn't say these a noob questions :) I'll have to be honest. I have never automated my account to your extent. I manually enter in all my photos and manually type each description. In that sense, all you have to do is just type @Name However, I assume you are scraping photos from Instagram...

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    I can only answer for Instagram, since I have no idea about Twitter. This may not be the answer you were looking for, @dan easton but I simply do not tag people in photos. The reason being is, that the majority of people who look at my post simply look at the photo and then if they are...

    I guess now would be a good time to update everyone. I apologize that I haven't been updating you all, I recently finished my first summer classes for graduate school. That means that I literally did not have time to do anything other than breath. Why am I telling you this? Over the past few...

    How I (didn't) become a millionaire at 19

    HOT! 
    At one point I tried to do a bit of contracting and hiring subcontractors, for logo design, and may want to refine how I go about doing this. My question to you is, what was your role as the contractor if your subcontractors did the coding for the apps? I assume these projects took weeks, if not...

    How I (didn't) become a millionaire at 19

    HOT! 
    That's a truly inspiring story @Chris Kelsey Talk about a will to prove them all wrong! So did you not have any prior knowledge to app development, but hired a team and you worked with them to create certain apps?

    Waiting to get manufactured

    Love the hustle brotha. I believe that it is important to focus on only the most important aspect of the business, in the beginning stages, so you don't overwhelm yourself. However, if you're not doing anything some things you may want to think about is: - How will you fund this project once...

    MINDSET 
    I respect your opinion @ApparentHorizon Maybe I should rephrase, this approach is not for every business. I personally think it could work well for what I will be selling(once I receive my products.) I don't expect my product will be flying off the shelf right away so I believe personalizing...

    @healzer, I couldn't find the specific article but here is another article that shows more in detail a couple things you can do for customers. I believe writing a hand written note should be a given to any small business/startup. After that, trying to come up with something unique for your...

    great read @healzer I remember reading an article on how to make your clients feel special. One way was to send out messages saying happy birthday. Other points they made were: -Send a hand written letter saying thank you for the purchase -Send them something free, along with their purchase...

    Letter To My 17 Year Old Self - Kobe

    MINDSET 
    I'm not a huge basketball fan, but my respect for Kobe Bryant is quite high. Not only is he one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but he built an empire around his name. I think we all at the Fastlane Forum can appreciate that. As he's retired now, he wrote, a Letter To My 17...
