How I made $27 profit yesterday by keeping my eyes + ears open Posted: 02 Feb 2020 09:39 AM PST My school has a Facebook group where people can sell their stuff — yesterday someone posted in it saying he needed some Photoshop work done to make higher-resolution versions of some images he had. I know a little about GIMP but have no Photoshop skills whatsoever. I did a quick Google search for "convert images to higher resolution in Photoshop" and found out that this is, indeed, possible. Then I messaged the guy and said, "I should be able to take care of this for you — what are the images you need converted?" He sent me five pictures. I immediately went on UpWork and posted a job for "need these converted to higher resolution." I got a proposal from a lady in Eastern Europe quoting $5, the UpWork minimum for a fixed-price job, saying she had already found those very same images in higher resolution just by doing a Google search. I message the guy on Facebook and say "I can do the job for you — does $8 an image (40 total) sound fair?" He agrees. I hire the lady and she gives me the images she found. One of them wasn't high-resolution enough for my buyer, but he agrees to pay me $32 for the four that are. So all in all we have $32 revenue, $5 in expenses for a $27 profit. I maybe spent an hour and a half of my time doing this. So that is $18/hour (which is not bad if you're in college) to flip a job I found on Facebook. Checked my email and the guy PayPal'ed me the $32 this morning! Might actually figure out the Photoshop trick to increase image resolution for the last $8 as it didn't seem that hard. Thanks for reading! [link] [comments] |
Building another source of income through mobile apps Posted: 02 Feb 2020 03:41 AM PST Hey everyone. I m an android developer that has a full time job but at the moment I am trying to build another source of income. I want to develop several android apps that I can place in the playstore and that would bring in some extra income. The problem is that I don t really know which type of apps should I be developing. I m thinking smaller apps with basic functionality and setting a price for like a dollar or inserting ads and making them free. If anyone has some input regarding this idea, that would be great. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
Change my View: Only self-promotion can save this sub. Posted: 01 Feb 2020 02:57 PM PST Alright, I've seen too many awesome posts get shouted down and removed because they mentioned their own company or linked to a blog or something. It made me realize this sub is full of people that don't understand the economics of content creation. First order of business: Businesses don't sell products - they sell to an audience. That means one of the most effective strategies for building a business is giving people legitimately useful information even if you aren't one of the owners of the tools you're recommending. What you own is the relationship with the reader where they perceive you as an expert. Ideally, they share it with others and more and more people share the content because hey, it's useful and it adds value for them to share it too. And it's actually a really great thing. The long term rewards of content creation are great enough that expensive and highly skilled experts can invest time and money sharing their knowledge with the masses. It generates a massive audience that's attracted to the upfront free value and then buys other products and services based on trust. That is, unless we say that content creation for the purpose of personal gain isn't allowed. The experts don't have an incentive to put useful information on reddit and since they can't use their personal brands to back up the legitimacy of content us laymen can't tell snake oil from experienced insight. Suddenly there is no reason for actual experts to come on reddit and drop value-bombs for our 600K+ readers. So what happens? This sub gets flooded with cheap insight, made mostly by people that don't understand how to market their business. Or shills. False testimonial. Unverifiable claims of success. People that if they knew their industry well enough to get paid for their insights wouldn't bother posting here at all. Fakes. Wannabes. If you allowed self-promotion, Gary Vee would be on this sub dropping knowledge every day, responding to questions, and giving amazing insight to questions from young entrepreneurs. Is he the single greatest marketer of all time? No. Should you follow his advice like religion? No. Is it better than anything I have to say? Most likely. But you won't allow that here. That would be against the rules. As entrepreneurs, we are supposed to understand that people helping each other is about mutual benefit. Why is this sub expected to grow and improve on people working for free? There's an audience of 600K readers that want good information from seasoned entrepreneurs on how to grow their businesses. Guess what - the talented, experienced, and successful entrepreneurs you want to learn from aren't about to do this for free. Not to the degree that they will do it on a platform like LinkedIn where they can benefit from the time and money they invest in sharing their knowledge. Stop being crabs in a bucket. Someone benefitting from sharing knowledge on the subreddit doesn't hurt you. If you feel negative about someone else's success you should quit now and get a job because this isn't a zero-sum game. Just my $0.02. Heading back to LinkedIn to share everything I know about sales and marketing automation and my story of how I solo-launched a profitable SaaS because that isn't allowed here. ✌️ Have fun with your dropshipping and crying about shills. EDIT: P.S. you're just doing free work for reddit and their advertisers by building this community and it's against the rules for you to benefit. Why would entrepreneurs waste their time? EDIT 2: From Reddit's sitewide rules on self promotion. Reddit admins apparently expect that we would self promote on subs like this. But on Twitter I... And our social media consultant said... But that other brand is... reddit is different from any other place on the web - first and foremost, it's about community, discussion, and sharing. Honor that and you'll love it here. Think of it like networking. It would be appropriate to give an elevator pitch and exchange business cards with others at a networking event. There are some subreddits that are like that (/r/startups, /r/entrepreneur). But for the most part, subreddits are like your next door neighbor's kid's birthday party that you've been invited to. The reason you're all there is to celebrate a birthday and have cake. It would be completely inappropriate to give your elevator pitch and business card to everyone there - your host would likely ask you to leave or not invite you back again. Meet people, participate in discussion about the reason you're there, and make some new friends instead of trying to promote yourself and you'll have a much better time. [link] [comments] |
How My Startup Reached The Front Page Of Hacker News Yesterday Posted: 02 Feb 2020 12:13 PM PST I launched Callstop (https://www.callstop.com/) on Hacker News and snagged the #3 spot yesterday afternoon. Here's how I did that and how I organized the post. Hopefully, this will be helpful to people who have thought about launching a startup on Hacker News. Here's the Hacker News thread for reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22211791 Problem: I set up the problem ahead of the rest of the post by briefly mentioning that about half of all phone traffic nowadays is spam. Mentioning the scale of the problem and giving some context means that even if readers aren't in your country where the problem is, they can follow along. Solution As An Analogy: I then created a good analogy so that people could understand what my startup does. Labeling my app as "Superhuman for your phone number" allowed people to understand the goal of the new product (increased productivity and organization) without having ever tried the product before. One user pointed out that analogy wouldn't work as a description in the long term, which I totally agree with, but it provided as easy way for people to get the idea up front. Most people on HN know what Superhuman is. Description of Features: I then listed each feature of my app in subsequent lines. I think you want to be concise with each feature, but make sure there's enough that there's no doubt as to what your product does. I tried to focus on emphasizing the ease of use portion, because in order to get actual downloads, people need to feel that your product is easy to use. It also has to be a certain degree better than current solutions, so listing out useful features that are going to separate you from current offerings on the market is key. At the end of the post I gave a brief summary of the general purpose of my startup, to keep readers from getting lost in the specifics of features and tie it back to a general purpose. Participate In The Discussion: This one is a no-brainer. There are a lot of people who are crazy smart on HN, and you should definitely respond to what they think and have a discussion. Based on this experience, if you've worked hard, never fall into the trap of fearing that your product isn't polished enough to launch. Each time you launch another iteration of the product, you'll get valuable feedback from people who want to use your product. You'll also get feedback like "I'd use your product if you added XYZ", and those are the types of requests that help you know what to build next. Earlier this week, I thought about waiting around until another set of updated, improved design screenshots came in before launching would be the best option--and now I'm very glad I didn't. I hope this is useful to other entrepreneurs out there who are thinking of launching on Hacker News. If others on here have insight or experience, I'd love to hear that as well. [link] [comments] |
Anyone here questions their motives from moral or philosophical standpoints ? Posted: 02 Feb 2020 04:18 AM PST Hi, this might not fit here, I guess I need to ask this however as it has been on my mind lately and I would love to see other peoples view. I am not an Entrepreneur, just as most people here are not. I am a student who has always dreamed of being an entrepreneur. I am that person who has a lot of his ideas but never actually committed to them, as I have to study and work at the same time. However, lately I have been sort of overthinking my "dream". I started wondering whether it is moral to be an entrepreneur, whether even capitalism is a system I want to support with my behavior. I just cannot see myself being employed as I hate authority above myself, but how will I be better if I am going to be the employer ? Have you ever though about the welfare...why should you try to make a lot of money, buy property etc. when there are a lot of people starving, sleeping on the streets ? Also I am getting pissed with the word entrepreneur, which I know I used myself though. Every fucking Instagram model or influencer calls him/her self an entrepreneur. This post is not any kind of propaganda, just my curiousness from me and a little rant about things that just messed up my head. [link] [comments] |
How do I get over a product not working and realize that I should move on to something else Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:00 AM PST I've been having a little problem lately and don't know how to get passed it. When I started looking for ways to grow a business, I tried starting small and for example, I made very saturated products like printable planners, notebooks (physical) with a design, graphics for stickers and cases, etc. These took well a ton of time to make but looking at them now, I realize I am unable to sell them and tried many ways to. I feel like if I focus on them, and keep trying to sell them it might work, but in reality I know it won't. I keep looking at the $ sign even if it is low, but don't know how to work it out. It still stays in my mind but I don't want to just throw it away, I want it possibly to be used but somehow pay off the time I worked on them. I know I should just put it aside and work on something I have experience with, but what are some things I should know or be said to get passed this phase? What are some things I need to remember and has this happened to you aswell? Thank you everyone [link] [comments] |
Anyone buy a franchise to get started? Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:42 PM PST So I saw this franchise opportunity for something called CodingNinjas. It's a learning program for people to send their kids to learn how to code. And it basically is you buy a building space and they provide the learning curriculum plus how to hire teachers/staff. And how to setup the operations. My question is do you recommend someone buy a franchise? And does one like this sound promising in a college town? (For context I have tried multiple online businesses trying to "make it" and pretty much all have failed, little profit etc) [link] [comments] |
Alibaba private labelling (as a UK business) Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:41 PM PST Hi guys - hope you're having a good day. I am looking to start a private label product business in the healthcare niche. I have found a dozen+ alibaba manufacturers that will private-label my product and ship samples. I am from the UK however - and I'm aware of duty costs/VAT for shipping. My question - does anyone have knowledge/experience/tips to share with me as a starter? Will the duties/costs eat into my profits? Is UK shipping from China even viable? I am worried about this part as I'm having HUGE issues locating a US manufacturer that will make these products for me, (let alone an EU supplier!). If you guys 1) have experience with China-UK private labelling or 2) know of alternative, closer manufactures I can get in touch with, please let me know! (I'm aware that shipping from elsewhere doesn't negate the duties/VAT - I'm just looking for a geographically closer supplier for my products to reduce risk). Thank you for your time! :) [link] [comments] |

Cold feet regarding starting a business partnership with a colleague / friend Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:09 PM PST Hi r/Entrepreneur! I am in the very beginning stages of starting a business with a colleague / friend of mine. I was genuinely excited about this initially, but now I'm feeling apprehensive and experiencing a serious case of cold feet. I have read every possible post on Reddit and the internet at large about this, while also reading 'The Founder's Dilemma,' and talking it through with close friends and colleagues. I've been wrestling with this more intensely as of late. So I'm posting about my own unique situation here... with the hope that the insightful, hive-mind POV from various professionals on r/Entrepreneur will help to give me some clarity and hopefully, a path forward. Some background about me:
Potential business partner:
Enter my apprehension. Pros:
Cons:
Right now.
Questions:
TDLR: Having cold feet about moving forward with an impulsive, dominant, yet talented / could be very beneficial business partner. Looking for advice on all of the things, but particularly on: How do we do a 1 year test trial together? And with that, how do we create branding / a website under the "brand" umbrella in order to get more clients and seem like a company in the interim? We are speaking with a small business lawyer this week to assess next steps and what they think. Anything else I'm overlooking or not considering in this big decision would be so helpful as well! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Struggle Bus Business B. [link] [comments] |

Posted: 02 Feb 2020 12:49 PM PST I unexpectedly acquired a mid-70s GMC step van that needs a bit of work. I have lots of ideas for what to do with it but wanted to see if I could get some advice before I do anything. Should I... 1) build a full fledged mobile business to sell, complete with marketing efforts, suppliers, client contracts, active social media accounts, a track record, a following, etc. 2) build that same business but keep for cash flow. 3) rehab the step van into something niche but not too niche, ie a food service vehicle and sell it. 4) get vehicle running, clean it up, paint it, and sell as an empty shell. My concerns: 1) there will be lower demand for a mobile business than I anticipated 2) running the business becomes tiresome and I lose interest or something happens making the business non-viable (regulations, city ordinances, etc) 3) too niche, low demand 4) leaving money on the table Any thoughts or experiences shared would be appreciated.

Posted: 02 Feb 2020 12:36 PM PST Note:: Im making this up as a write it PennyFunding is to Kickstarter what Twitter was to facebook. A miniature crowdfunding platform where you have to get creative and convince your audience in 140 characters or less (friends, peers, customers, fans etc.) through social media that they should invest in your campaign. It can take a physical form of a widget like an effect when you paste your pennyfunding link into any popular social media updates (like how Facebook pulls thumbnail and a description from a link) Differences between PennyFunding and Kickstarter: - less barrier to entry - Quicker to get funding out there and in front of people - Smaller audience on average - Higher volume of total campaigns running on the platform - Smaller Investment amounts - Higher rate of failing to get funded - Opportunity to use crypto to have no minimum pledging amount required (to cover processing fees etc.) - anything I've missed?

Local SEO Guide: Optimize Your Google My Business Listing Posted: 01 Feb 2020 11:26 PM PST Business owners are always looking for new ways to grow their business online. Therefore, a well-optimized Google My Business (GMB) listing that can get you on Gooogle's local 3-pack is imperative. If you don't know what a Google My Business listing is, then I'm afraid that you have some catching up to do. Fortunately, after 4+ years of doing SEO for local businesses, creating an optimized Google My Business listing is relatively simple. Here's my local SEO guide for business owners who want their site to be the one that shows up when they search for a restaurant, real estate agency, or whatever industry they serve. Let's get started! Creating and Verifying Your GMB Listing For those who already know how to create and verify a Google My Business listing, you can skip this part. This part is meant for those who are just starting out and don't know where to begin. So the first thing you'll want to do is go to https://www.google.com/business/ and click the "Manage Now" button. From there, you'll need to sign in or create a Google account. Then, Google will allow you to either find your business online or create a profile if they can't find your business name. Make sure that, when you're filling out your information, everything is accurate, from the business name to the location. Next, you want to verify the Google My Business listing. Google will either send you a postcard, call you, or send you an email. It's important that you don't change any of the information you filled out previously during the verification process. Email: Go to your GMB profile and click "Verify Now". Choose "Email" from the list of verification options and then, check your email address. Verify your business via the button provided in the email. Postcard: Choose "Postcard" on your GMB profile as the verification option. Make sure that the address the postcard is being sent to is the correct one. If it isn't, change it before you request the postcard. Then, whenever you're ready send the postcard. Most postcards arrive within 2 weeks. During this time period, do not change any of the information on your GMB profile because this will delay the verification process. Once you receive your postcard, click the "Verify Location" button from the menu and then click the "Verify Now" button. From there, enter the 5-digit code that is found on your postcard and submit. Phone Number: Choose "Verify by Phone" on your GMB profile as the verification options. A message will be sent to your business number which will contain the code. Then, you can verify your GMB listing by entering the 5-digit code in your profile. Now, let's get into optimizing your GMB listing… Now that your profile is verified, it's time to get you noticed so that Google will put you in their 3-pack results. The 3-pack is the first three business listings that show up when someone searches a query like "law firms near me". These types of search queries are the ones that Google will show you because they think that these three businesses will fulfill your search intent. But with so many businesses to choose from, how do you stand out in Google's eyes? The first step to optimization is making sure that all the proper information is filled out. These include the:
Business Name The business name should be the name that you have on your signs and legal documents. Don't use keywords in your business name because Google penalizes business names that are keyword-stuffed. Categories The categories allow you to tell Google what your company does. For instance, if you're an internet marketing agency, you can put that as your primary category. You can add secondary categories as well, such as website designer or digital marketing. However, your customers will not see these additional categories. Do not stuff as many categories as you can. This will confuse Google on what your business does and make you seem spammy. Location/Service Like the business name and category section, you fill this out at the beginning. However, you should only fill this out if you have a physical location that customers can come to. If you don't have a physical location but you do offer your services, then fill out the services area with which areas you provide service. Only fill out the service area if you don't have a physical location. Some businesses do both services in different locations and also service at their own location. Hours Add the weekly hours of operation for Monday through Sunday. You can add special hours on your GMB profile for days when your business is either closed, is closing early, or will be open longer. Use these for holidays and other special events you might have going on throughout the year. Phone Number If you want to see how many people are calling from the GMB listing, use a call tracking number as your primary phone number. Otherwise, use your local business phone number. Website URLs All URLs you use must be live by the time they're entered into the GMB listing. To track how many people come to your website through your listing, you can use Google Analytics ' UTM tracking codes. The different types of URLs you can add are a website URL, appointment URL, and if you're a restaurant, a menu URL. The website URL should link to your homepage. If you have multiple locations for your business, then you should have multiple GMB listings. Each GMB listing should have a website URL that leads to its own separate page for each address. Description The description allows businesses to tell first-time customers what they do. You can write up to 750 characters, but Google only shows the first 250 characters. This should not be a sales pitch, but rather a way to tell visitors more about your business. Go to your "Info" tab and click on "Description". There, create a brief introduction explaining what your business does. Only focus on the most important terms and do not keyword stuff. Do not add any URLs and don't treat this as an advertisement. A well-written description will convert more customers than a sales pitch on your GMB listing. You're not trying to convince them to buy your service. Chances are if they've stumbled across your GMB listing, they're already interested in your service. So, get your main point across. Use only your most important keywords and above all, make sure it's descriptive. You want the visitor to walk away more informed than he came in. Photos Photos also play a big role in your GMB listing's performance. They show the visitor what your business looks like in real life. Your photos provide their first impression, so make it a good one. Make sure you upload:
If you're a restaurant, make sure to also upload pictures of the food & drink that you serve. So now that we've built our GMB listing, we want to get it ranked in Google's 3-pack. If we can't get the site ranked in the 3-pack, we at least want the listing to be ranked within the pack of business results. To do this, we're going to need to focus on:
NAP Citations are references to your business's name, address, and phone number, thus explaining the acronym NAP. These NAP Citations are present in directories, news articles, blog posts, and etc. They're most common in directories, though. It's imperative that these citations stay consistent because Googles considers number of citations you have, the accuracy of the data you provide, and the platforms to determine your ranking. Here are some directories that you can start out with:
From here, look for local directories within your city as well as niche-specific directories to increase your NAP citations. Local Links are links that come from local industry-related sites. This could be from the local news station's website or a blogger based in your city. The best ways to get these local links are from PR campaigns and traditional outreach. For example, if you're a juice bar based in Dallas, you could reach out to a Dallas-based blogger who's written a piece on the best juice bars in Dallas. Offer some type of incentive so that they'll include you in the list. An example could be free juices for a month. If you want to do a PR campaign, you'll need to be a bit more creative. However, the payoff is much better than traditional outreach. Because you're focused on increasing brand awareness, you need to do something that will catch people's attention. Take the juice bar example. If you want to catch the attention of third-party sites, giving out free smoothies to kids after school and providing a study area for students could garner the attention of your local news channel. Whether you decide to invest in a PR campaign or go the traditional route and do some outreach, local linkbuilding can be a very useful way to grow your business's site online. Combine this with NAP citations and you have a very effective combo. Updating GMB: The final thing you want to do is always update your Google My Business listing. You can respond to reviews and questions, create content in your "posts" section, and correct any mistakes made to your listing. Google looks at the quality and relevancy of your reviews, so asking your past customers to update your GMB listing with a fresh review always helps out. You can also respond to any questions that one might have thanks to Google's Q&A feature. You also want to update those who stumble across your page with deals and events that are going on, giving them an incentive to keep exploring. Google also allows others to suggest edits to information they might find wrong on the GMB listing, so if there are any errors, you can fix them and improve your business's overall SEO. There you have it, guys! This is my guide to optimizing your GMB listing for Google's 3-pack. I know this isn't everything that goes into local SEO. There are other factors that go towards ranking on Google's 3-pack, but the GMB listing is a crucial part of this process which is why I thought I'd share the procedure I use to optimize local businesses. If you want me to review your GMB listing or your website, send me a message and I'll be happy to give you my thoughts. But other than that, thanks for reading!

Discussion: Owning property vs Renting as an “entrepreneur” Posted: 02 Feb 2020 01:11 AM PST So the reason I'm bringing up this subject is because of a video that I saw on Facebook of Garry Vee a while back that is stuck in my head. I'm not a big fan of these "social media entrepreneurs" since I've noticed a lot of the shill a whole load of bullshit, but that's another topic. So basically what he said in that specific video was something of those lines "If you own a house, you are fucking stupid because you're sitting on a pile of cash which you could be utilizing. So sell it, start renting and invest your money." This quote might not be 100% exact, but you get the point. Now from my point of view, that is somewhat correct but I look at my house as a safety net and no matter what, I will always have a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in - I couldn't say the same if I was renting and my investment went to shit or my business failed and I lost everything. So let me just give an example of my situation and how I look at it. I'm in my mid 20s, and I have 2 small businesses that are doing "ok", one of them I run mostly from home and I pay about $1700 for rent as I need a little more space. The thing is, once my house is ready I will be pretty much saving those $1700 every month which would also decrease a big chunk of my expenses. On top of that I will have peace of mind, not having to worry about rent, bills or the future. What do you guys think? [link] [comments] |
Podcast Monetization for your Business Posted: 01 Feb 2020 10:19 PM PST One of my clients launched their Podcast with us only three months ago (at the time of this post) and had 2,000 listens right out the gate. They've also more or less doubled their listenership month over month. Each episode is filled start to finish with highly useful information that can truly help people change their careers. Here's a few ways they leverage this??
The moral of the story here is that using podcasts as a part of your marketing and sales strategy benefits your business. And not only for the short term. These episodes will available for people to discover for years to come. [link] [comments] |

Should we find a digital marketing agency to partner with? Posted: 02 Feb 2020 09:52 AM PST My partner and I have a web design start up. We have had 7 clients so far but things are slowing down. We are currently charging between $100-$400 for full websites, which we've been told is cheap, but once we have 10+ items in our portfolio we are planning on raising prices. We've tried emailing local businesses about their outdated website but haven't had much luck. We have spent ~$100 on google adwords but nothing has come from that. We have some leaflets coming tomorrow that we are going to post around business parks, we're hoping this will get our name out there a bit. Then we were thinking of calling the companies at the end of the week with a sales pitch. We were also thinking of looking for digital marketing agencies that could be seeking web developers they can outsource some of their work to. Is this a good idea? [link] [comments] |

(Bakery) Marketing Book Recommendation - Why People Buy (?) Posted: 02 Feb 2020 09:16 AM PST Question first: do you have a recommendation for a book that overviews best colors, shapes, branding, etc. for a retail business (particulary a bakery)? Background: I have been reading The E-Myth Revisited and finding it incredibly valuable. I enjoy its message - but also its length and ease in reading. It references Louis Cheskin's "Why People Buy" for the importance of colors, etc in a business. I went to buy this book - but wasn't sure if it is something modernly recommended. Would you recommend it - or perhaps something similar? [link] [comments] |
