    Paid Advertising Crash Course

    GOLD! SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Thanks for the detailed reply. I kinda figured you would say all that. I guess I was just reluctant to start off that high. So, our average order is $67.91, which would make us about $33 on average. And 2 months in, 20.17% of our customers are returning, so I'm cool with breaking even on ads for...

    Hey @eliquid thanks for the thread. I got some questions. I just launched our first FB ads campaign two days ago. I did 1 campaign, 3 ad sets, and 3 ads per ad set. I did the same exact 3 ads, but to a different audience in each ad set. I set a $10 daily budget and did campaign budget...

    High Ticket Quality CBD Oil Business - how would you go about it? (some unconventional ideas)

    IDEA 
    They won't be doing anywhere near those numbers for a while. It actually looks like Square just started to do it too, so that's what I'll be trying

    High Ticket Quality CBD Oil Business - how would you go about it? (some unconventional ideas)

    IDEA 
    I'm building a website for a friend that sells CBD oil. Are there any updates to cc processing that I should be aware of? Like @biophase said, it's very difficult to find solutions for this in the US. If anyone is willing to share what payment gateway they are using, that would be awesome

    Should I buy this business?

    HOT! 
    I agree with you. But, what I like about this deal is that I can get it today for mid 6 figures and, if I can do with it what I think I can, can sell it for 7 figures in a few years

    I have a question as I'm still trying to value this business. They want a 3X multiple of SDE for it, but that doesn't include inventory, which will be around $200-250K. What's y'all's opinion on inventory being included or not? @Vigilante @biophase @amp0193 @AgainstAllOdds @Kak @MJ DeMarco

    Should I buy this business?

    HOT! 
    Ya, that's my understanding just from this experience so far. I should be sending them an LOI tomorrow, and the broker told me I could talk to their current dealers and licensees as well as potential future dealers. I will also be talking to their manufacturer. Not acting like I'm the current...

    Should I buy this business?

    HOT! 
    It just means you're under contract with an option to buy the business in 30 days giving you time to do due diligence. It doesn't mean you're running the business during that time by any means. It just means the current owner can't sell it to someone else during that time.

    That's what I did, but I didn't know if there was a more in-depth method. Thanks So, discussions with the broker and owner are going good and moving forward on this deal. About to really dissect the numbers and work on an LOI. Also, it might work out to rent the current warehouse space from the...

    Should I buy this business?

    He has been trying to transition from selling to dealers to selling online. The dealer network needs some work too. There is also a licensing side of the business that has been neglected. I can go into more detail on that and really the whole business if I buy it. Their products are proprietary...

    Ethical Debate on Product Creation

    Thanks I was wondering that. Now that I think about it, I don't really see how it could be patentable anyways except maybe some specific design aspects of it. I highly doubt they can get a utility patent on this because it's really just an upgrade to an existing product that there are a ton of...
