    Launched Supp. Company, now how to market?

    EXECUTION 
    You've pigeon-holed yourself into a tiny niche. Bros who already use phenibut generally just buy raw powder. They also tend to be the ones who research harder into supplements for mental health. They aren't going to be as easy of a sale as normal bodybuilding supplements bros who will try a...

    I think it falls under the "brick layer" issue many discuss on this forum. You can be a dynamite dog walker but it's difficult(not impossible though) to turn it into a fastlane business. The element of scaling is very tough in that type of business. The barrier to entry is low, which creates...

    Umm the soviets defeated the Nazis with winter and pure manpower... The "soviet economy" had no role in defeating the Nazis as you just stated. Why Hitler's grand plan during the second world war collapsed MY MIND IS LITERALLY NUKED THAT SOMEONE ON AN ENTREPRENEUR FORUM WOULD DEFEND USSR...

    The swing is happening towards more middle class youth working towards skilled trade professions. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, welders, HVAC etc I believe it's a great fit for a large portion of kids who were preached "go to college!" for their entire lives. Many types of trade...

    It's happening as we speak. While tech is helping our economies grow and most of us on this forum are benefiting from it, the lower functioning portion of society continues to struggle. Your observation of your family is correct. I've noticed a similar pattern in my family. Some members of my...

    That's great, you're not the majority I'm talking about. We have lots of general laborers and coal miners doing similar but the key word is experience. You have a skill set employers are willing to pay for. edit: Location: Southern California Don't dog walkers in Southern Cali make...

    The majority of people who are already poor/impoverished/unemployed/underemployed tend to believe they are special and deserve $25/hr or higher starting out. Especially people with non-stem bachelor's degrees. It doesn't work that way. In 10 years, it won't be minimum wage we're fighting. It...

    [Progress] Sanctus Nutrition - Supplement Company (and first real entrepreneurial pursuit)

    NOTABLE! 
    Great progress OP. To echo others, I find it hard to see who it's marketed to as well. The middle aged guys feel like it's not for them. As the above comments confirm. As a young male myself, who focuses on bodybuilding/powerbuilding workouts, I feel like it isn't for me. I prefer the...

    Facebook Flipping (How To Financially Curb Stomp)

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Facebook has been like the Wild West for the last few years. It's been awesome for those who embraced it from an early stage. Businesses and people who laughed at "paying for facebook?" back years ago are now throwing thousands to try to build legitimate audiences and a good social reputation...

    Gym is counter-productive to work. Or is it?

    HEALTH 
    I think anytime you place your self under the high stress of any type of business you need some type of outlet to relieve stress. Many traditional businessmen use women and booze as stress relief. I'm sure we can all admit that using the gym is a better outlet to relieve stress while adding...

    Can someone explain me what kind of sorcery is that?

    The healthcare costs are way off. The cheapest catastrophic plan for my wife and I is $621/month. For insurance we don't use because our deductible is $6500 per person.... I guess I should be happy to be significantly under the average for our age group for total spending.

    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    I personally put every non-necessity contact on "do not disturb" in my text messages. It allows me to answer friends and family at my convenience in texts. If it's an emergency they can still call. My wife and business associates are the only ones not on do not disturb on my messages. It will...

    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    I can understand the mental development issues that could potentially be caused by young people being plugged in 24/7. I still think the good outweighs the bad. Emergency situations and gps come to mind. Also how many of us on this board rely on a large portion of our revenue from mobile...

    The Math Doesn't Add Up (FB Ads)

    MARKETING 
    This guy gets it. FB ads only work if your copy appeals to your audience you're paying to reach. Our timelines are filled with junk ads that you're competing against that most of us scroll past or hide. If you want it to work, put the effort into creative.

    Rural areas vs. Urban

    MINDSET RANT 
    A great book into the insight of rural white areas across the country is Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance. It shows some major insight on small poor rural areas. @Veloce Grey is spot on in his observing on both sides as well. One side thought to add: Op you're an outsider to these rural...

    How to export new/old heavy equipments

    I believe you might be putting the cart before the horse here pal. Heavy equipment is something I'm familiar with through some family contacts. Please research the cost of moving equipment. Large heavy equipment moving is it's own industry without adding sales or export. You have to have...

    Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just mentioned to my buddies yesterday how smart this is for Conor. It doesn't matter if he's jabbed to death every round. He's going to come out with twice his net worth after this fight. This could potentially lead to a MMA match between the two as well as another poster just mentioned.
