    OnlyFans has just proven how important the commandment of Control is

    HOT! 
    Good point, Patreon has a similar strategy. Neither is a place to "browse" content, since they'd be cannibalizing their creators' subscribers/revenue. They're pro-creator, versus pro-category/content. I think that Linktree is another HUGE winner here. OF girls made them a household name :rofl...

    OnlyFans has just proven how important the commandment of Control is

    HOT! 
    I remember when I looked at the OF homepage for the first time a few years ago. I thought "man this is a POS." The UX is terrible, there was no way to discover content. I figured they would clean up their mess in the last few years but they haven't. IMO they left a lot of money on the table...

    It can be lonely.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    People are usually speaking from fear when they give their opinion on starting a business or entrepreneurship. I always encourage people to start something and am positive about the general path, however I will sometimes ask questions and give some specific feedback/direction around something...

    Should I rent, go travel, buy a home - or something else? (While building a business)

    As an update to this... thanks to COVID, I was able to live/work in Mexico for a few months, and Miami Beach for a month. What did you end up doing @FastNAwesome ?

    I tried DMT last week

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I did a few overnight ayahuasca (contains DMT) ceremonies, with a shaman and all that. It was one of the most life changing experiences I've ever had, and can reframe reality, reprioritizing more important things in life. It's a great way to connect to yourself, clear up subconscious issues...

    Workout App - Hiring Freelancers from Pakistan for Programming ??

    EXECUTION 
    @thechosen1 - I was looking at hiring a dev off Fiverr, but would realistically have to pay $1-2k since mine is a bit more complicated. Keep us updated on the progress, I'd like to see the first version of the finished product and see how far $300 got you. Cheers.

    GOLD! HOT! 
    What are your thoughts/feelings on the difference between running a services business, versus running a products business? I was considering starting an agency, but I'm not sure if I want to tie my time to money like that, and have employees I have to manage, etc. I'm considering just doing a...

    How I test my startup ideas with landing pages

    IDEA 
    This is a great point. Just like you might have to pivot your actual product a few times to hit the mark, you may end up having to pivot your landing page a few times to hit the market, or some kind of product-market-fit. @EntrepreNerd -- I think this is a great way to validate an idea...

    How do you generate ideas?

    NOTABLE! HOT! IDEA 
    A little trick I like to use... keep one of your browser tabs open at all time, and track the keyword #frustrated on Twitter --> https://twitter.com/search?q=%23frustrated&src=typed_query . You'll see a TON of first world problems come up. A lot of them are petty. Teenagers complaining about...

    Real Estate Job vs starting business

    INTRO 
    Yeah I'm working on an app idea myself but it would cost $30-50k to build it out, so I'm working on what the MVP should look like and then finding a technical cofounder. I would HIGHLY suggest that you check out Y Combinators videos and do research before starting an app. Check it out here: Y...

    Real Estate Job vs starting business

    INTRO 
    Hey Seth. So I'm in a similar position, but real estate is actually my side gig (doing sales as a realtor). My main gig is designing apps (UI/UX). My personal opinion is that you shouldn't leave your day job until you have some level of success. What does that mean? A certain amount of money...

    How to Test Your Ideas Without Building a Company First

    IDEA 
    Never heard that term before but I like it. I was going to use something like that for a supplement product I want to make. You could use FB ads and something like Unbounce to create some quick landing pages. Tell us more sire...

    Does anyone write business plans?

    A few weeks ago, I had coffee with the managing director of one of the top tech accelerators. He meets with 1,000 founders.... PER QUARTER. He said he (and people like him) doesn't even pay attention to business plans. He pays more attention to the team, the track record for the team, how much...

    The Freelance Competitor You Don't Know You Have..

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I run into this a lot on when I'm looking at agency websites, or freelancer websites. They always say "I am a ____ " or "We are a ____." Who gives a shit? What can you do for ME? How about "Double your marketing with our ___." It's YOU focused, not ME focused. Everybody has their radio tuned...

    Jobs aren't bad.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I totally agree. So many people demonize jobs and they throw the baby out with the bathwater. If you look at life/business as a game, getting a job at some point along the way is just a singe MOVE on the board. It can give you needed income, knowledge, and experience. I've learned a ton by...

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    I get what you’re saying about the feature update on IG/FB, but something like that would only happen if they saw some SERIOUS value in it. And by that point, I could possibly exit early. Or be profiting by then at least. Snapchat was a billion dollar company when they copied them. I don’t see...

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    I have not heard of this lad, I'll check him out, thanks. I have heard of the "Real Men Real Style" channel, which I loved. Real Men Real Style . Getting somebody like this on board as an equity partner would be interesting. The thing about fashion is there's so many small nuances, everybody...

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    I think what caught my attention on this one, was a fun app I downloaded (found on Product Hunt) called "Face Off." It was a similar idea, but it was way more simple and just helped you pick which profile picture was better, for Facebook. It was strangely addictive, and was really cool to get...

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    That would be pretty cool actually. Maybe a future feature? Curious, are you part of the target market? ( young men and women, ages 15-35, fashion conscious and care about their social image)

    Looking for feedback on app idea - "what should I buy/wear?" (clickable prototype inside)

    IDEA 
    They have a lot of those apps, but there's too much decision fatigue for the voters. It's too vague, and doesn't feel like a "game" where you "pick the winner." But you can almost always choose which looks better, and so you start to learn which things look better relative to others. The idea...
