    I was able to get in touch with some local news websites for my nonprofit by contacting editors directly. Had to search around, but was able to find their emails. Also, might be worth getting in touch with the university you graduated from, or even your high school. Many of them have...

    Hi, I'm Marc !

    STORY INTRO 
    The approach I've used is to find the specific people who would be closest and most familiar with the product/service and its application. For me this was systems integrators for certain types of industrial equipment, or sales engineers for a specific product. It's easy to find their contact...

    Hi Marc, welcome! I'm a mechanical engineer as well. I design custom manufacturing equipment and automation machinery. Also use SolidWorks. I can relate to the feeling of not having any of my industrial/engineering business ideas seem realistic. The problem was trying to come up with and...

    Industrial Businesses Megathread

    IDEA CHAT EXECUTION 
    What are your guy's thoughts on a business that makes brand-specific industrial aftermarket products? For example, specialized components or accessories for Instron testers, Fanuc robots or SICK sensors. These are just random examples to illustrate the type of product, not necessarily ideas I'm...

    Ads are up and running as of yesterday. Had a couple small issues that prevented them from starting, but easy to fix. The budget is set to $20/day for now. I'll review everything in a few days and see where I need to make changes. I also reached out to various strangers who live in RVs to...

    My old 1-5-10 year plan is a graveyard of broken promises.

    Looking back at your unmet goals can either push you away and make you give up (this is the easy path, just come up with excuses and forget being an entrepreneur). Or you can reassess, figure out what went wrong, and move ahead with a plan. It's entirely your choice. Consider how bad it feels...

    Landing page is basically done. Just a couple more small changes to make and waiting for some speed optimization plugins to finish propagating. Google Ads campaign set up and ready to run. I also created a list of people on YouTube, Facebook groups and blogs who are my target customers. Many...

    3D models and renderings are all done. The shots of the product in a real lift setting were a bit challenging, but I'm happy with how they came out. Good enough for testing the idea. I'll be putting together the actual landing page in the next few days, then running ads and messaging the link...

    My dad has been wearing a very similar Casio for DECADES. The strap always breaks first, long before the battery or watch dies. And it's cheaper to just replace the whole watch rather than just the strap. He's a dork and saves all the old ones to see how long they last before they die haha...

    Small update. Decided to just focus on the RV product business and drop the industrial products. With the RV products, I have a verified need, a small audience, and multiple other product ideas. I also know the importance of having a singular focus. As I was researching my industrial business...

    Thanks @NIK4658 I agree. Seems like the right move and takes advantage of my experience. If their U.S. launch ends up not happening for some reason, maybe I'll revisit the food product in the future.
