    Your Best and Worse Defenses for Inflation...

    NOTABLE! INVESTING 
    For my next business I will most likely not do B2C again yea. But that is probably a few years down the road. Who knows what will happen until then. I think the sweetspot customers for a self-funded online-service/SaaS business are small- to medium-sized businesses that will sign up on their...

    Your Best and Worse Defenses for Inflation...

    NOTABLE! INVESTING 
    No, unfortunately it will still be B2C. Basically I'm trying to get the most out of this business before I either sell it or use it for more or less passive cashflow.

    Is it possible to look forward to working on your business just as much as weekends and vacations?

    MINDSET 
    When things are going well, I love working on my business and even prefer it over leisure activities. I had times where I was so excited I had to force myself to go to bed, then couldn't fall asleep because my thoughts were still going high speed around what I was working on. When things are...

    Your Best and Worse Defenses for Inflation...

    NOTABLE! INVESTING 
    My main problem is being way behind the market. My business isn't worthless, but it's currently simply not good enough for this new world with 10-20% yearly inflation. As long as that's the case I won't be able to afford even a simple middle class lifestyle. And middle class lifestyle isn't...

    Your Best and Worse Defenses for Inflation...

    NOTABLE! INVESTING 
    I remember that I was reasonably optimistic about life and my business at the beginning of 2020. But it seems like a few wrong decisions have left me completely in the dust with the absolutely crazy inflation since then. Those mistakes were: - Having a B2C business that sells to "normal" people...

    Massive Scale Cross-Border Amazon Arbitrage

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    I'd be careful with that. This API is only intended to be used for job postings and livestream announcements. So your service is most likely violating Google's TOS, which usually isn't a good foundation for a business. I'm in some SEO groups and heard about recent manual penalties against sites...

    If you think you have it bad, listen to Paul R. Alexander.

    MINDSET 
    Honestly, I'm not sure what to think about this. This man's mental strength and determination is absolutely impressive. Truely gives you perspective when feeling down about some non-consequential bullshit. However, I hope that if I ever get into a situation where I'm either almost completely...

    Opinions on Dan Koe?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Never heard of him. After a quick google search, he seems like your typical run-of-the-mill wannabe guru. So pass from me.

    Massive Scale Cross-Border Amazon Arbitrage

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    IMO you're overdoing the "fake it until you make it" on your new idea... I'd reconsider that. The idea itself is good. I have a similar one, but limiting it to service providers in my existing industry. Unfortunately marketing to small businesses is notoriously difficult. And there are some...

    Building long-tail Google Ads campaigns for fun and profit

    EXECUTION 
    Its useful if you want to have a dynamic landing page with keyword insertion for higher quality score. But you can also do that on ad level if you have single keyword ad groups of course.

    Recommended platform to hire AWS cognito integrator/developer?

    SOURCING 
    Your other post mentions nodejs. Are you using any framework or just vanilla js? AWS Cognito might be a bit overkill for your needs. Since you will also need payments, subscriptions and admin interface to manage all that, you could look at using a SaaS boilerplate solution. Here's a good list...

    Someone is Squatting on my Product's .com Domain

    QUESTION 
    $10k for the exact match .com of a product with traction is a no-brainer. Be happy that its even for sale and get it.

    What y'all think about Threads by Meta?

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Thats what happens when do a big launch, but only have a MVP... (and lock out the whole EU) Great example of why startups have an edge over huge incumbent corporates. They can afford to start small, stay small, refine their product...

    Tips on adding Google Ads to my repertoire, other tips for upsells?

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    I edited my post but I think you didn't see it before replying. Like I mentioned, you could explore turning that experience into an SaaS product. Did they need a custom solution, because there was nothing off-the-shelf out there that solved this? Than you might have a nice product idea on your...

    Tips on adding Google Ads to my repertoire, other tips for upsells?

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    I wouldn't dare offer a service that I just read and watched a few YouTube videos about, but thats just me, I kind of care about the quality of my work. Btw, 100k profit at 8M revenue sounds absolutely horrible. Not much more to squeeze out of them. Let them have some profit left so your main...

    Is developing video-games a Fastlane?

    SIDE HUSTLE SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    Yes. Gaming is a massive market. It has a high barrier to entry, because its very technical. People tend to discount it, because gaming is generally seen as a waste of time. But the mainstream people love to waste time. So it has great opportunities. Will only grow more in the future with VR...

    Chrome extension ideas.

    IDEA 
    Twitter to Threads import and sync/crossposting AFAIK with their API limitations etc, browser automation or an extension is currently the only way to do it. And Twitter power users already pay for various tools, could probably go for even higher pricing.

    I built a platform for converting website visitors into individual leads

    IDEA 
    How does stuff like this even work? Are there some massive device fingerprinting databases out there? Maybe collected via browser extensions. Or is it simpler than that?
