    My lawyers are too much

    QUESTION 
    We've all been there, getting a bill for a lawyer's photocopying and phone calls at $500/hr. Give me a break! Some of the comments above are a mixed bag of good and bad advice. While it's true that filling in the USPTO trademark application form is about as easy as signing up for a library...

    Someone is Squatting on my Product's .com Domain

    QUESTION 
    As @c4n mentioned, you might have grounds for a successful UDRP case, although if you are hiring a lawyer you will likely end up being over $5k anyway with no guarantees. Or you can purchase it outright for $10k with a guarantee that you own it. It's not illegal for someone to own a domain...

    Is your brand exposed? Trademark your brand the easy way with Trademarkings

    MARKETPLACE 
    One of our clients got hit hard today. They lost all their Amazon listings just because some other company beat them to the punch and filed for the same trademark first, even though our client was using it for years. Now, we have to go through a lengthy process to get the other trademark...

    Advice please: First foray into FBA | Doggo miracle cure

    IDEA 
    If you really want people to take this seriously you need scientific studies to back up your claims as well as massive social proof. I would even look at launching this on Kickstarter. Is there significant search volume for your keyword?

    Is your brand exposed? Trademark your brand the easy way with Trademarkings

    MARKETPLACE 
    I just wanted to share something cool with you guys. Even though I generally despise Reddit, one of our clients left a testimonial about their experience working with our trademark firm. They had previously had some bad luck with other lawyers, but our team was able to exceed their expectations...

    Huge Security Alert: LastPass Suffers Major Data Breach - Here's What You Need to Know to Protect Yourself!

    CRYPTO PEOPLE 
    I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden a couple years ago. Have been overall very happy. Tell that to the guy that had a couple crypto wallets wiped. View: https://twitter.com/Cryptopathic/status/1606416137771782151?s=20 Not sure why you would still trust these guys. I highly recommend...

    CRYPTO PEOPLE 
    LASTPASS USERS READ THIS!! 1) If you use LastPass, attackers probably have a copy of your vault. CHANGING YOUR MASTER PASSWORD NOW WON’T HELP, they already have a copy that is unlockable with your old password. What to do? First, Stop using LastPass. 2) We don’t know how bad things are...

    what is the best side hustle to start making money immediately?

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Sounds like you and your family are struggling to make ends meet. I would also recommend you put your "entrepreneur ego" aside and get a J.O.B. The most important thing right now is making sure you and your family are fed and sheltered. It's impossible to focus on building a business if you are...

    I've come up with an incredible idea, but don't have the skills to execute it (yet!)

    QUESTION 
    It sounds like your idea has good potential if you were able to build an 80k email list around it. Don't be discouraged that you don't have the skills to build it. You have a variety of options available to you as a non-technical founder. Depending on the complexity of the project you might be...

    Is this a good idea?

    IDEA 
    This sounds like a really niche problem, with a solution that already exists. I wouldn't waste time and effort in building a business around it. Let's be honest, how big do you think a business could be that sells long t-shirts, marketed to people who mow lawns? If you are going to play the...

    How much money should someone make to be considered a Fastlaner?

    INVESTING 
    I'm pretty sure there's a chapter dedicated to this in TMF, if not, go read The Four Hour Work Week. The gist of it is, you need to reverse engineer your goals. What type of lifestyle do you want to live? How much monthly income do you need to live that lifestyle? How much money would you need...

    Mail In Shoe Cleaning?

    IDEA 
    I haven't purchased shoes in years, and I'm not in the sneakerhead market, but your prices seem really high to me. You have 3 offers You show a $35, $55, and a $75 clean, and shoes that are probably worth $50, $40, and $100 respectively. Why would anyone purchase a $35 clean for a $50 pair...

    2022 recap, how did it go for you?

    EXECUTION 
    Well done @BizyDad! Can you expand on what you did to achieve that? 15x profit doesn't seem possible unless the business was previously operating at breakeven or a loss.

    Why Real Estate is Bullsh*t

    REAL ESTATE 
    There are more low-IQ rich people in real estate than any other industry. But I'm not implying it's foolish to be in real estate. What I'm saying is -- if you want to get rich without being a genius, real estate has a high probability of success.

    Dropshipping- opinion?

    IDEA 
    Don't write off dropshipping as a business model. It only gets a bad rep because of the way most people think of it. Most people think dropshipping = cheap Chinese products, no value-add, no brand building, no customer support, etc. When really, any physical products business could be a...

    Yeah, you're right... advertising has never worked. :rolleyes: No point in dismissing a marketing channel that could actually be very profitable for your business. Test and iterate. For every $1 you spend on email marketing, you can expect an average return of $42 (DMA, 2019). $1 in, $42...
