    Alternatives to "freemium"?

    SAAS / APPS 
    Was observing an interesting exchange between software founders who argue against having a free plan: I don't think many entrepreneurs would disagree.. But is a "trial" the best alternative? It's great, but another strategy I believe can work well (especially in B2B) is the "business...

    Video hosting platforms...

    PUBLISHING 
    Veoh is the latest video platform to go down. alongside the fall of Metacafe and Breaking, it seems to only leave Bitchute, Odysee and Rumble as the YouTube alternatives. For those who upload videos regularly, do you stick to YT or you distribute to these other channels also?

    The downfall of Omegle...

    IDEA 
    I was reading the founder's postmortem on the website and couldn't help but think, "why couldn't you simply authenticate the users and force age verification?" There had to be room for an alternative. And sure enough, after some digging, I found at least 6 competitors who have done exactly...

    Deciding between opportunities

    BOOKS 
    I recently read the book "The 5 Types of Wealth" - and while most of it is common sense, some of the visuals are interesting enough to where you may want to consider giving it a read. Namely, this one: I've noticed a lot of threads popping up where the OP asks: Should I pursue X or Y? For...

    List of U.S. Cities

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Anyone know where to find an exhaustive list of U.S. cities? AI isn't helpful and Wikipedia isn't any better. Thanks!

    YouTube Premium, worth the money?

    IDEA 
    Ever since they layed down the hammer on ad blocker extensions, I've been considering getting YT Premium just to skip the ads. But out of principle I can't seem to bring myself to pay the $14 I then had an idea about getting an Albanian VPN (from what I've heard, no one advertises to that...

    Never worry about the big players

    MINDSET 
    With the recent shut downs of Google One VPN and Apple Pay Later, it serves as a constant reminder to not get anxious about new competitors entering your space. The likelihood of them trouncing you is not as high as you'd expect. Stay focused on the customer and you'll be fine.

    If you can't afford Tony Robbins..

    GURUS 
    He recently had a 3 day event and the replay videos are available for the next few days: [link expired] Click the days at the top to alternate between them. Hope it helps some of you in terms of mindset and goals. Some of it is kinda hocus pocus-y, but if you can get past that it's a great...

    Another Cautionary Tale of Control

    IDEA 
    As we've seen many times before, Control is essential to launch + sustain a business. I had a relative recently launch an independent insurance agency after many months of setbacks and expenses. They failed and retook the insurance exam multiple times until they passed, went through...

    I'm surprised people say they have a hard time generating ideas...

    IDEA 
    I see them everywhere. They're all around you. For example, here's one you may have already encountered, but overlooked: Train your mind to see everyday problems in your life as potential ideas.

    Click fraud: don't let your ad dollars go to waste

    MARKETING 
    We've been running click fraud prevention for our Google Ads for over a year now, so I thought I would share our results: It's pretty clear the investment is well worth it if you are spending a significant amount in advertising. For the $700 we've paid in software fees so far, we've...

    Control is King (again)

    RANT 
    Yesterday it was Twitter, today it's Reddit. A third-party app making $$$ is shutting down due to an increase in the API cost: Remember to diversify & stay in control :fist:

    Take every "sales" call

    RANT 
    Been thinking about this for a while now and it can be a controversial take, but I'm now of the opinion that you should take every sales call that comes your way. Why? Here's a few reasons: 1) Opportunity to learn a new sales tactic I was recently impressed by a certain phrase a salesperson...

    Nobody is Stealing Your Idea

    IDEA 
    I see this common fear and subsequent thread popping up every so often, so I just have a few thoughts that may help with developing an abundance/carefree mindset: 1. Your idea isn’t unique There is nothing new under the sun. Your “one-of-a-kind” and “world changing” idea is anything but. Many...

    Control > ENTS

    RANT 
    a Twitter tool making $1M+ ARR was recently shut off overnight by their API overlord: Access has since been restored, but this serves as yet another reminder to never have your business lie solely in the hands of any: - API - License agreement - Affiliate merchant - eCommerce platform/vendor...

    If you're going to take a break on Netflix..

    MINDSET 
    You should at least make it educational/inspiring. The Playlist (Watch The Playlist | Netflix Official Site) is a mini series which covers how Spotify got started and how it got to where it is today. While some of it is sensationalized, it does an amazing job in depicting the kind of...

    10 years

    IDEA 
    I keep seeing this number being thrown around in the startup world and in entrepreneurship in general. I recently read an article by James Clear where he talked about the most successful composers, and how they had to go through the "10 years of silence". Then we see how tech companies only...

    Any real-life examples of temporary sacrifice?

    MINDSET 
    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsWlktW0kj4 Love this scene but I was wondering if it happened to any successful entrepreneur where they put off something, until they became successful? I know how Sylvester Stallone would blackout his windows so he could finish writing his scripts, but...
