    How do I market on a budget?

    MARKETING 
    Way too unspecific, you need to nail down your typical customer. Is he in his 50s? Is he a gamer or does he spend 10h in front of the computer every day working his a$$ off? What's the focus of your product? Is it a gadget or a health product? That is pretty low and it will be hard to drive...

    Moving Forward With a Product

    PEOPLE 
    Most companies I've worked with are lazy bastards and don't want to do prototypes. Prototypes are not making them any money and when you pitch your idea to them without quoting them any quantities you will order if the prototype suits your needs, they will likely turn you down. You have to tell...

    Probably the silliest question I could possibly ask...

    MARKETING 
    You can't. Spend money on testing and see if it works, there is no way to see if an offer will work or not. Once again, you gotta spend money to see if it works or not. Assumptions are your biggest enemy in marketing. Well, you have to deal with this risk in every business you're about to...

    GOLD! 
    If you want to go with Magento, don't go to regular hosting companies, they usually know very little about the performance issues with Magento. Edgehosting.co.uk looks solid tho. But please keep in mind that Magento is one of the most complex and definitely one of the most expensive shop CMS...

    Took approx. 6 seconds for me to load with 100mbit connection. Keep in mind that a lot of people still have shitty connections or use mobile devices to access your site. Install luckyorange.com or any other similar tool to keep track of your visitors. They do have a free trial plan which allows...

    Site takes ages to load, it's completely unoptimized. The header picture alone is over 6mb. Fast page loads are crucial when it comes to selling online. More info.

    Is this a good idea?

    IDEA 
    How come that no one is worried about the legal aspects of this venture? Every major payment processor either completely prohibits gambling sites (like Paypal) or has strict rules in place. Plus depending on your country of residence you would either have to get a gambling license (lots of...

    Hello, I'm Formless.

    Good introduction. You have a sales job right now, that's awesome and I'll tell you why: most entrepreneurs fail because they're horrible at sales. Unfortunately, if you can't close any deals your biz won't make you a dime. Too many entrepreneurs have a great product but don't know shit about...

    Is it worth it to become an Accountant?

    HOT! 
    Did you guys even read what he posted? He is asking why other people believe that a CA career is the greatest thing on earth. It doesn't sound to me that he wants to be talked out of it because he is a diehard entrepreneur and doesn't consider becoming an CA at all.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    What an awful thread (not because of the questions but because of the tone of the replies). Just read the whole thing and this forum seems to be filled with big egos and sissies who take everything personal. To answer the OPs question: don't buy it, your current car looks fine. As long as...
