    Sound big or sound authentic?

    Sound authentic and deliver big. My very first dev gig was at 16. Only a couple hundred bucks, but that didn't stop me.

    WTF? Unknown company is misrepresenting my product on YouTube

    Basically a bunch of people in Asia performing a certain action. Upvoting a post, for example. What your guy did was a private botnet if I had to guess. He spoofed his IP and other info to make it look like there were multiple people flagging the video.

    WTF? Unknown company is misrepresenting my product on YouTube

    "Dark Web" is a blanket term for areas the public can't access without special software or access. This is like 80% of the entire internet and composed of internal company databases and password protected areas. What you're referring to is the place where people buy and sell super...

    Hyperrealities are TAKING OVER?

    If it can run in your phone, with the $15 cardboard, it has potential. Otherwise, they may be ahead of the curve. VR doesn't have mass adoption yet, and requires some, although minor, technical knowledge. And you need a decent gaming PC on top of the VR hardware, to actually run it. Most people...

    His book "Your first 100m" is a good read to get you thinking, but there's a lot smoke and mirrors. He did a Q&A at a college recently, and broke, when 1 kid called him a fraud.

    How do you store and backup data?

    HOT! 
    That's kinda smart lol I feel the same about CDs and scratches. I think someone said it earlier, but I haven't used a CD in roughly 10 years. Neither my laptop nor my custom pc has a drive. Also, if ya'll aren't aware, Mega.nz gives you 50GB free storage. I wouldn't store biz docs on there...

    Looks like they're not as obsolete as I thought. You can still easily find 3.5" floppy drives, as well: https://www.amazon.com/Floppy-Tape-Drives/b?ie=UTF8&node=6795226011 Now the 8" floppy is a different story.

    I'm not worried about the CDs themselves, but the drives to actually read/write haha My phrasing was bad. They didn't intentionally delete files, but their software implementation caused errors. r/GoogleDrive - Google drive randomly deleting files? That still doesn't rule out that they don't...

    How do you store and backup data?

    HOT! 
    I'd put these on standard disk drives, if it's just for archiving. 4TB for $100. Maybe Raid 1, or external HDD or, NAS (network attached storage, which you can also setup as a private cloud) I don't trust public cloud storage like dropbox, etc. They can delete private data at their discretion...

    Cold calling, where's the middle ground?

    My general rule is quality over quantity for big ticket items. Other factors come into play as well. If the group you're selling to is active on social media, I'd personalize more even if it's lower ticket. You can measure the average time per YES, on each extreme and work inwards.

    I think I scrolled too far... If you're out of school already, might as well just pick up a couple of books and go straight to networking. Hire a tutor once a week if you need it that badly. Just got this these dropped on me by my mentor: - Buy people gifts related to their...

    Use your shyness/introversion to allow the person to speak. Talking about etiquette, not interrupting someone when they're talking about themselves, is the ultimate rapport builder.

    Nope. If something like accidentally misspelling the decision maker's name in an email or using "like" too many times in a conversation, breaks the deal, my product is prob crap anyway. Or average at best. Though I'm curious what constitutes as poor vs rich etiquette, that can't be attributed...
