    I lowballed myself when selling myself to my boss for a full time position. What can I do now?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2018 09:42 PM PDT

    I should begin this by stating that I've learned a lesson to take things more closely into consideration and slow down and not make rash decisions; this is usually not a quality of mine, except this week.


    In the last two days life plans have drastically changed. I was going to leave my college job (internship extended to full time for intern pay) for the Army. Now I'm not. In a panic to get things together and secure a job before my lease ends effectively in fifteen days, I pitched myself to my boss at work today.

    I knew they were hiring someone to take over my project, moving over their donor management system and then beginning to rebuild their development program and donor outreach. A coworker told me the company was wealthy enough to pay a decent salary but that she had been held back for years, not making even over $35k for a secretary position. In a rush, I put together what I might need to survive for a year, added tax, and then added $2k more to $42k a year. This is my mistake. I pitched myself well to my boss and he said "this is reasonable, I don't see why this won't work."

    Immediately, I realized that I was a fool for rushing and a fool for lowballing myself in a haste to simply get a job.

    Now, the company I work at is 10-20 employees and the position would be managing their top dollar donors and all communications with them. Glassdoor sets the salary of a Business Development Manager at more 66k for a director including commission (which I don't want to work for yet, this job is only for a year). I think I qualify for at least 50k a year. Further, I didn't calculate in savings for my first year. I'll only be able to pay student loans on the $42k.

    I think I have to do something to renegotiate, even though I pitched myself and made this low offer already. Here are some things that work in my favor:

    • my boss has to confirm it with his boss and there's no way hes told him already

    • my boss is usually independent of the CEO and has been a friend for a year while I have worked there for $10 an hour; I think he understands that my plans are switching, that I'm an inexperienced college student scrambling to place my feet on solid ground and that

    • the business model and workplace necessitate orthodoxy to a certain cause which is hard to come by; I presume he would have slim pickings finding another replacement as qualified considering that he has already been trying for a few months and I've already been immersed in the project he wants to hire someone to take over.

    so I have some leverage, but I mostly gave it away today. I have tomorrow to prepare it for him, luckily it is the 4th of July. What can I possibly do to better my situation? Is the only thing to ask him to let me restart the process as a friend or to come clean to him that if anything goes wrong on a rainy day I'll flop with the current salary I've proposed? Should I tell him that after further consideration of my financial needs that I can't even accept my own offer?


    TL;DR the title. What would you do if you lowballed yourself, but you were at a workplace you felt was friendly, small, and a community what would you do?

    Need advice on reaching for a position in the company I work for.

    Posted: 03 Jul 2018 07:14 PM PDT

    Good evening everyone,

    Let me start off saying thanks in advance for any advice or tips thrown my way. Now a little backstory. I started working with this company about 7 months ago. We will call them ABC. ABC is a multi billion dollar company within the food industry. I work at a smaller division, within ABC, but nevertheless ABC. This smaller division, XYZ, runs and operates as almost it's own entity. XYZ also has opened a few branches about 6 total.

    Since I have started my prior experience made it very clear employee safety, customer safety, food safety is far from priority. Which lead me to look into some things. I then discovered XYZ does not have their own safety manager or anything of the like. My previous employers within the same industry have had something like this.

    So I have been thinking about possibly pushing for a position similar to that. How would I even start? If it helps I am in a management position now. However nothing to the likes of that. Is this to ambitious?

    How To Start An Online Business From Scratch *Easy Way*

    Posted: 03 Jul 2018 09:02 PM PDT

    Hi this is Moad,In this post I want to share with you some easy steps to start a business online, the fast way not the guru way. It may be a long post.

    Let's make things clear, there is no overnight success formula ok.But there are ways that are quicker than others.

    First thing, know what kind of lifestyle you want. Yes, I mean it seriously. Many people start in business because they want to be able to allow themselves to live a dream life, but they end up in businesses that takes 100% of their life and energy, and the end up burning out and giving up!

    There are many business that you can start with very low cost, here some ideas:
    - Affiliate Marketing
    - Dropshipping (Ecommerce)

    - Amazon FBA etc...

    My personal favorite is affiliate marketing because it comes with less headache and less responsibility.

    Affiliate marketing simply explained means, promoting someone else's product or service and earn a commission every time you make a sale or you bring a qualified lead to the owner.

    There are 2 main categories of affiliate products:
    - digital products (infoproducts, services)
    - fisical products (ex.amazon products)

    Now that we know the 2 main segments, here are some more details.Digital products are great, because they give you a commission that is really high, we're talking about +50% or sometimes even +90% of front end purchases. If you promote a digital products that costs ex. 100$ means you could earn up to 90$ in commissions.

    By promoting physical products, instead is up to 10% commission, ex. amazon gives max 10% commission on products sold.

    If you're looking to promote digital products you can find them in sites like Clickbank , cj affiliate, maxbounty, terraleads etc..

    Now that you have the products the question that you may ask your self is how can I promote them?There are 2 main ways:-Paid traffic (ads)-Organic Traffic

    Let's talk about ads.It consist in paying platforms like facebook, adwords, bing etc to drive traffic to a presale page (landing page) and then from there to your affiliate offer.

    Lets say you spend 100$ in ads, you got 500 clicks at 0,20$. Ok 500 visitors to you landing page right?Now let's say your page converts in sales at only 0,5% (which is ridiculously low ball normally you can get easily +3% to 24%) mean you have made 2.5 Sales! If every commission of this sales has an average of 70$ means you have made 175$ in your pocket. Now you remove the ad spend (175$-100$) you left with 75$ profit.Yes, the beauty about it is that you can scale it to bigger numbers. ex. you spend 1000$/day or even 10k$/day or more!

    This article is only a easy and quick explanation of how things works, if you're interested to learn more about it, live a comment below, an UPvote would be more than appreciated :)

    Make it a great day!

    A lack of background research destroys many entrepreneurs (both when pitching and in the long run). How can I properly reach information about existing sectors.
