    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    I don't like the word "vegan" or "vegetarian" mainly for this reason (plus all the connotations that come along with the word). "Vegan" gets all the hype, but WFPB (whole food plant based) is where it's really at. I've experienced a lot of health issues this year and I basically had to...

    how rare is it for entreprenuers to earn over 60k profit per month?

    HOT! 
    $60k per month = $720k per year Assuming a 10-20% margin --> That is $3.6M to $7.2M yearly revenue. How many businesses exist that do at least $3.6M to $7.2M in revenue and are owned by a single entrepreneur? A lot. Percentages don't matter. In a world where GDP's are measured in the...

    Google offers alternative to college degrees

    Very interesting. I wonder if this won't be a catalyst for bigger institutional changes in other industries as well. I've often thought an engineering trade school would have a huge demand, from both an employer and student/employee perspective. ~40 hours a week, year-round with no long...

    Can't Hurt Me - David Goggins

    Better get your running shoes ready. I don't know about anyone else, but this audiobook turned me into Forrest Gump for a while lol

    I found a free tool on Reddit called ImportYeti. You search a company and find it's suppliers. For example, I found who make's NorthFace's Jackets

    Useful tool, but not unique in any way. Import records are public record, and there are lots of websites that display this info.

    Reducing your Amazon Exposure - Getting MORE sales and Making MORE money. Would you be daft not to?

    MARKETING 
    Whether this happens or Shopify goes another direction, I look for them to make the move to a full-blown marketplace and be a huge player in the future. They're already expanding into the fulfillment business, and a marketplace seems like the natural next step. They could literally have...

    Reducing your Amazon Exposure - Getting MORE sales and Making MORE money. Would you be daft not to?

    MARKETING 
    Ditto. Sales weren't terrible, but they clearly didn't have their act together yet. I plan to get back on it later this year though with a much stronger effort and with hopes that they've improved things. Are you selling on Walmart's marketplace? What's your experience?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I would also add that branding and all the things you mentioned (website, logo, packaging) revolve around marketing to a specific, core group of people. Define your target audience first, and then build the product, website, logo, packaging and overall brand around that theme. This builds a...

    Selling my Ecommerce Business

    GOLD! 
    @amp0193 Now that it's been a few years, do you ever keep in touch with the buyers or check on the business that you sold to see how it's doing now? Any idea if the buyer was able to grow things or if the business started to decay after you stopped running things?

    How To Market and Product Launch/Research On Reddit?

    HOT! RANT 
    Exactly. Reddit is such a vast resource, one subreddit can be completely different from another -- that doesn't mean the whole site is worthless. In fact, it's far from it. I use it when researching different ideas, products, etc. There are few places on the internet where you can find such...

    HOT! 
    Something I’ve seen mentioned but not really researched much yet is the impact that the initial dose (how much of the virus a person is exposed to) of the virus has on a person’s viral load and the overall severity of their case. For example, if you are exposed to a very small amount of the...

    HOT! 
    I’ve believed from the start (among many others) that this is much more widespread than previously expected, and I think the more studies that come out like the one Stanford just did, the more apparent this will be. And this will be a good thing as you’ve mentioned. Hopefully in a month or...

    A bit of a deep dive into the convalescent plasma therapy here.... The people that receive the plasma donation can then also donate their own plasma as well if/when they recover, correct? Would a recovered patient be able to donate plasma multiple times? Or does the effect become diluted at...

    I don't want to speak for Vigilante, but I think this may have been the point he was trying to make earlier -- that it is much more contagious and more wide-spread than previously thought. If this is the case, the mortality rate would be much lower than 1% and herd immunity (at least at some...

    Senate Democrats propose canceling $10,000 in student debt for all borrowers amid coronavirus

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Exactly -- I paid off $40k in private loans last year (for a degree I didn't even finish), but I refuse to pay off the $10k in government student loans I have because of all this talk of the government canceling student loan debt, even before the coronavirus. If I paid it off and immediately...

    A genuine MASSIVE coronavirus business idea/need.

    HOT! IDEA 
    Considering one of the largest problems with C0VlD-19 is that people who are not yet showing symptoms are spreading the virus through coughs/sneezes, I think there would be a huge benefit to having everyone wear masks simply to prevent people from unknowingly spreading the virus when they don't...
  20. Q

    A genuine MASSIVE coronavirus business idea/need.

    HOT! IDEA 
    Common sense tells me that wearing masks is at least somewhat effective in preventing the spread of the virus, especially if you're the one infected (coughs/sneezes will be more contained). But I remember reading a few weeks ago that the masks were largely ineffective with C0VlD-19...any thoughts?
