    [Paid] Looking for Expert Advice on how to get product to HomeDepot, Ace Hardware, Lowe's and others

    SOURCING 
    Yeah, there are multiple ways of doing it honestly. Door just makes the most sense. Patents do work because once someone tries to steal your idea (invention) you can go sue them for % of profit. I think anyone who is serious about manufacturing something needs a patent or else china will copy...

    [Paid] Looking for Expert Advice on how to get product to HomeDepot, Ace Hardware, Lowe's and others

    SOURCING 
    The patent was a unique hinge idea that lets it open 180° . There is only 1 plastic door manufacturer that needs coin to open and they stole our idea and now are paying us 13% of all sales as royalties for using this. But their door is just a copy, it is not effective. 90% of our competitors...

    Hello, We manufacture plastic access doors(panels) in Canada. Spent about $150k for patent (already filed and approved) and to modify everything to be up to standards. The doors turned out to be great because they are easy to open, last longer, and does not damage your drywall. Now we are...

    Significant Change to Upwork coming in May 2019... “Pay to Bid”

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Wasn't this used way before Upwork, on Elance - oDesk. Freelancer would buy "bid packages" and use those to bid on projects. I mean it only worked to make those just starting out feel intimidated. Scammers still scammed, big guns still did bids. There were a lot less bids, but maybe because...

    Advice Wanted; How Should I Respond to This?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    write to support, I did work on upwork and they are very understanding. Try to do it asap, ask them what you should do. I think your case is solid and you should be fine. If you get negative feedback, again contact support and report it as slandering. There is no reason you should be punished or...

    Best City/Country in Europe for Online Entrepreneur

    HOT! 
    Been to 3/4, not just been but lived there. I will vouch for Kiev. Do not listen to the "rough situation" bs. It does not affect Kiev at all. It is a big city, full of activities, cheaper than in most of Europe. A lot of freelancers and outsources live there, service is cheap, food is cheap...

    Local Meetup Groups - Worth It?

    I used to go to a bunch of local meetups that had 5000+ members and to my surprise only about 30-40 people actually attended. Usually, a meetup is about something, for example, "How to save on taxes for small business in 2019" and usually they try to sell you something. You might learn something...

    My Business Idea Generate $1500-2000 Month Help Needed

    IDEA 
    Not going to bash the OP with ethical and moral consequences of his ideas. Just saying what I would do if I were to do it. What I would do - facebook / Instagram ads that lead to a click funnel landing page with good copy. Write answers on websites such as Yahoo Answers, Quora, Reddit and...

    Shall I make the prototype myself? / Some good, trusted companies in the U.K?

    I agree. I believe I was intending to reply with a proposition to find companies in Canada to save money on the weak dollar and by habit added the "check us out". Happens when you work too much :) My bad.

    [May 20] Collision Conference 2019 in Toronto - Anyone?

    MEETUPS 
    I guess it depends on what your goals are. If you are a startup or can sell something to startups I think it is great. Hard to find such a concentration of tech people and entrepreneurs. I would say startups, services providers, recruiters, people looking for co-founders. All should go. Going...

    My Business Idea Generate $1500-2000 Month Help Needed

    IDEA 
    The main problem is that the quality that you get hiring someone for 5-7$ per page is not going to be great. Students will complain and ask for refunds and you will lose money.

    Shall I make the prototype myself? / Some good, trusted companies in the U.K?

    Not sure about companies in U.K, but a lot of people are looking at Canada right now for these type of services. You still get the quality of "tier 1" country, but you will be priced in CAD dollar which is much weaker than US or Pound.

    My $100m Idea - Building A Smart Contract Web App

    IDEA 
    I feel like you are wasting time\potential. If your idea is so great, why not get a loan and pay coders to code it? Being scared that someone will steal it, is a bit silly, there are numerous safety nets, Non-disclosure\ non-compete, patents, you can make any kind of agreement that protects you...

    Why I think Bitcoin will be dead in 2041 unless it evolves

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I feel like Bitcoin is just a small ant in the world of blockchain which is constantly evolving. But to answer your question: 1) I don't feel like bitcoin (network) will die 2) I do feel it will get improved as technology advances. We already have the lightning network that is being worked on...
