    You need to study your competition.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:59 PM PST

    Hey Guys,

    As we all know, studying our competition is necessary, and one of the most important things to study is their ad strategy. You can understand a lot about their messaging, creative and funnel strategy when you look at their ads.

    Here's a simple way to understand what your competition is doing in terms of their ad strategy:-

    • Google "Facebook Ads Library".
    • Write your competitor's page name.
    • Look at their ads, and scroll to the bottom.
    • If an ad is running for a month, or more, chances are that they are getting good conversions from it.
    • So study their copy, their creatives, click on the ad, and see what their funnel is, what their landing page looks like, what action it wants you to take, what mail you get when you do that action, etc.

    This will help you learn from them, get creative ideas, and actually do things better than what they are doing.

    I've done this for multiple businesses, across various industries, and this always saves me money (and time) to test things, especially in the initial stages.

    Hello everybody!

    I am a startup entrepreneur in the daily convenience item business and I'm planning on doing a questionnaire of sorts to ask people what kinds of day-to-day convenience items they're always missing. I was planning on doing this on Reddit, so:

    1) Any good ideas for a place to which I could post this question to?

    OR

    2) What convenience items are you constantly missing? ;)

    Thanks in advance fellas!

    Independent retailers! Can I ask you some questions? (research)

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 03:46 PM PST

    I'm running some research right now as part of the development process for an online business that would help independent brick and mortar retailers sell more to their local communities, online.

    The survey is simple and should take about 5-10 mins to complete. I'd love to hear your opinion if you own and operate a retail business in North America.

    Here's the link: https://forms.gle/KBmmtyfzghX9KmgT8 Thank you for considering!

    The Communist Manifesto was written as a critique against the exploitation of industrialised capitalism of the time. What measures have been made or can be made to safeguard against these possible exploitations?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:38 AM PST

    I am not a business major so my knowledge in how business works is limited and my understanding of Communism is that it delves more into the political and social element instead of just the economic/business side of things as a main theme of Communism is the divide between the upper and lower classes and how those in the higher class get more benefits and profits than those in the lower classes and this exploit this that the lower classes never get a chance to catch up or are limited in their opportunities compared to the upper classes.

    There are still criticisms of capitalism today like the hyper-capitalism of America in the 80s and 90s, the opportunities that are limited for smaller businesses because of the free market, and there are claims that capitalism is still designed that favours the upper classes and the wealthy than the lower classes which still causes a lot of disparities between the two.

    And of course, every time a communist system was implemented, it did not work - it was implemented in a way that is a dictatorship and led to a lot of economic and social issues.

    So given that capitalism is far from a perfect system, what measures have been made to safeguard against the exploitations that the Communist Manifesto talks about and/or any other possible advantage that can be exploited in the workplace (like lack of workers' rights, for example or poor working conditions and long hours)?

    What other safeguards can still be done to counter the exploitations or the problems of capitalism that exist today?

    Need advice on an installment loan I have on my equipment. Financed through Ascentium Capital.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 09:58 AM PST

    TLDR; Business isn't going well. Finance company says they are willing to reduce loan from $42k to $39k if we sell our equipment. Equipment itself is only worth $25k to $30k. Are they playing hardball or would they likely go down more?

    Well, I should say my old business partner has it financed through them. A little backstory: my friend and I started a sandblasting business back in 2018. I had a lawn business before that and we continued operating that while building up the blasting business. My business partner purchased the sandblaster under his name only. We went through Ascentium Capital since a regular bank won't finance that type of equipment. The equipment brand new cost $43,500. Ascentium Capital charged us $62,000.

    After 1 year my business partner panicked because we weren't making enough from the sandblasting business to pay ourselves. We were making money from my lawn business still. He wanted to sell the sandblasting equipment at a huge loss and then we would have been stuck with the balance. I told him that was stupid and I didn't have the money to make payments on equipment we didn't have. He has money and receives a large amount of inheritance from his mom each year even though she's still alive. I, on the other hand, live paycheck to paycheck.

    I told him I didn't want to sell the equipment and that we should keep running the business to at least pay down the equipment. He then told me he hated sandblasting and wanted nothing to do with it and still wanted to sell the equipment at a huge loss. In the end I thought I could make a living doing the sandblasting by myself and was tired of the lawn business so he took the lawn business and I kept the sandblasting business. My credit wasn't good enough to finance the sandblaster on my own so it's still in his name and I've been making the payments on it.

    Due to medical issues I have I can no longer operate the sandblasting business. My old business partner has enough time to do both businesses and make money at both but he said he can't stand sandblasting and won't operate the business. He again wants to sell the machine at a huge loss instead of taking over and again we would have to pay off the balance.

    Now, we owe Ascentium Capital $42,000 since we paid all the interest up front. So they have made $20,000 on us. He called to ask them if they would settle on a lump sum payment and they said yes but wouldn't give him a number. He finally told them he could come up with $25,000 and they came back with a payoff amount of $39,000. The machine is only worth $25,000 to $30,000 at most. So I guess my question is, do you think Ascentium Capital will go lower and are just playing hardball or will they likely stick to trying to get the $39,000 out of us?

    Should I bill my client as my brand new, but unrelated, LLC?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 09:39 AM PST

    I started an LLC back in May to launch a podcast production company. It has been pretty inactive since.

    I also design websites on the side, and have a client that wants to hire me.

    I am considering billing this client as my LLC - both for my protection and to show that this new LLC generated revenue this year. Is that the right move? Is there a consequence in billing a client for a different purpose than my LLC is registered as?
