    MEETUPS 
    Nervous to post, which is why I think I should. In one year, my goal is to be serving 50 customers/month. I've had 11 customers in the last 5.5 months. Saying this here clarifies what I need to focus on. I'm also intentionally choosing not to focus on making a dollar amount. Money-chasing...

    Can I hire voice actors to impersonate fictional characters?

    An alternative would be to use a character/icon that is recognizable but the IP isn't owned by anyone. I had a project related to Harambe a few years ago. I paid an artist friend to digitally sketch the gorilla and used that for my project. This way, I didn't use any photos on my website...

    Can I hire voice actors to impersonate fictional characters?

    Slightly different but related: A few years ago I was a senior in college and sold a t-shirt. I had a graphic designer create it. It was a play on the university's logo. Since I didn't want any IP issues, I had a graphic designer make the logo slightly different. A picture of me with the...

    Love your description of working on your business while at a 9-5. You're constantly thinking about your business and trying to find ways to work on it. Congrats on the hard work and perseverance in what I assume was a slowlane, non-entrepreneurial environment.

    I Received a $4,000 Offer for a Domain Name - Newbie Looking for Advice Please

    Also I would say definitely sell the domain. There's more value in building up a brand/SEO around whatever domain you go with. The recognizable one you have may lend some authority, but that authority won't mean much until you've proven yourself in other ways. Don't worry about that until...

    I Received a $4,000 Offer for a Domain Name - Newbie Looking for Advice Please

    I agree with the advice to throw out a higher number and see how they respond. A few years ago, I bought a domain name for like $12 and GoDaddy reached out and said someone was offering $100 for it. I countered with $585, only because that was my rent at the time and I thought it'd be cool to...

    I'd say that's fair. I also think that, with a few projects circling in my head at once, I'm afraid of failing...if I commit to one, that means I could unambiguously fail at it. With other projects, I could say one failure just means it wasn't the right project... I have the product and the...
