    5 Day Weekend - Nik Halik

    Just curious if any of you have read this. Been seeing it pretty often on the shelves of book stores in airports recently. Worth reading, or just another book with a scammy title?

    Stuck deciding between multiple business ideas

    IDEA 
    I've struggled with this for years, and haven't really gotten anywhere with my own business because of it. I start working on something, and then don't quickly get any traction, and move onto something else. The cycle repeats. I know a lot of other people struggle with this 'shiny object...

    B2B vs B2C

    Curious on people's thoughts on selling B2B vs B2C products. Most people/books seem to say it's easier to sell to businesses (as businesses are more willing to whip out their credit card), but most of the products I'm more interested in creating are B2C. Any of you have experience selling to...

    Email Newsletter as a Business

    Based on the success from businesses that are primarily an email newsletter, such as TheSkimm and TheHustle), I've been intrigued by this idea lately. For the 2 companies I mentioned, their daily email newsletter is their focus, and they make money by selling advertising space in their...

    Lead Generation Site Technology (question for MJ and others)

For those of you that have started lead generation websites, where you collected a fee for each lead you sent/send to a business or individual, what is the technology behind doing something like that? Did...

    It seems like the market is flooded with books about online business. Most of them are either about starting a blog or starting a tech company. What are the best books out there that focus on starting/building successful 'offline' businesses - whether it's retail, service, hospitality...

    Opinions on a business name

    Hoping to get your thoughts on a name is for a business selling inspirational posters and other products. My initial target market will be entrepreneurs and small businesses, but leaning toward wanting to keep the name generic enough to expand into other industries (fitness, etc.). (I would...

    Lead Generation - How to track outbound referrals?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I’m trying to figure out how to do this – from a technical level. To build a site where you are sending leads to external sites, from a technical standpoint, how would you charge per lead on outgoing links? In other words, if you had a directory-style site where companies could post their...

    What are you struggling with right now?

    HOT! 
    Figured this can be a good way to share problems, and hopefully give other board members ideas of how they can help others (either on here or through their own business). What are you currently struggling with in your business (or in your decision to start a business)? In other words, what are...

    Looking for board members to interview about their business

    Hey everyone. MJ approved me posting this, as I don't want to come across like I'm soliciting board members or promoting my site. It's been a little while since I've posted on here, but I'm in the process of launching an online magazine focused on helping entrepreneurs find ideas, inspiration...

    Domain/Business Names - Better to be Creative or Descriptive?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Curious on people's thoughts on this. When deciding on a name for a domain/online business, is it better to go with something unique (think Amazon, Twitter, GoDaddy, Google) and build a brand around it, or to go with something descriptive that makes it clear what you do (such as giftbaskets.com...

    Post Your Problems | A thread about Business Ideas

    IDEA 
    Figured it could be real useful to have a thread where people can voice problems and frustrations, in the goal that it could present business ideas for others. What are some problems you face either in your business or in your personal life? What products do you use that you think suck? What...

    Would something like this be helpful to you?

    I've had an idea for a while that I'm hoping to get some feedback on, since entrepreneurs like everyone on here would be the target market. And since I believe it's all about execution, I'm not worried about giving away the idea (and maybe it's a bad idea to begin with). I've thought about...

    My blog/site - Helping Entrepreneurs find the best WordPress themes

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Shameless plug (although I hope a lot of people here will find it very useful) - I've had this site for about a year & 1/2, but recently re-designed it, and narrowed my focus - gearing the site toward entrepreneurs. I know a lot of folks on here use WordPress for their sites, and there's often...

    Domain names extensions

    I know everyone and every book out there tells you to only use .com domain names, but it's getting very hard to find useable .com domain names for reasonable prices. What are people's thoughts on the .co extension? Large companies like Overstock, which is rebranding as O.co, and Twitter...
