    Losing my job. Need to start NOW Entrepreneur


    Losing my job. Need to start NOW

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 09:01 AM PST

    I have 2 months left until I am officially unemployed. I have jumped from dead end job to dead end job and I've had enough now. I have procrastinated starting something of my own for years and I think now is the time.

    My skills are lacking. I can create websites on Wordpress and I've dabbled in SEO. I know HTML and basic CSS. I'm a creative person.

    I appreciate any advice

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 09:30 AM PST

    I was looking at restaurants to buy on BizBuySell and some of them seem to have really good profits. I was thinking of buying one and hiring a management company but I have not been able to find one and I live in a large metro area. Do these companies exist?

    Seeking SEO words of wisdom from an online biz owner/ entrepreneur

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 07:38 AM PST

    Now this might seem like a question most ppl ask about SEO. I'd really appreciate it if ppl don't spam/ DM me with "I'll help you with SEO, pay me X$ per month", as this is not what I'm looking for, at least for now.

    I'm a new small business owner of a web-store in Tarot niche. Our organic traffic (and conversion) is growing well (i.e. slow and steady) for keywords related to the products. Now, I've done keyword research and found new keywords we can target and been reading up on backlink SEO and how to get back-links. The part I'm struggling with is do we make content and present it to other high domain authority sites in our niche and ask them to add a link to us? Or we send them products, review it and they create content and link to us?

    If we were to create content, do we have to do it? Or hire a content writer? How would this work? Also, I've heard a lot about blogs are a thing of the past. So, vlogs - the only issue is see is that when our collaborators make social posts and put our links in the description, it apparently doesn't effect our ranking that much. Any help on clarifying this would be great.

    Now, if there are collaborators willing to blog/work with us but don't have their own website (but are pretty big on social), do we add blogs to our website and build internal/ external links? Will this help?

    I know there's a lot here, so I really appreciate any valuable information and for spending the time. Thank you in advance.

    If you're looking to build something but lack ideas...

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 10:03 AM PST

    In this post, I'll list 5 app/tech ideas that were generated by my side-project, and I hope someone will make the 3rd idea because that'd be sick

    1. Who's Stronger: an app for people that work out. You can share e.g how much you bench and see where you are on the leaderboard.
    2. An app where runners can join a team of runners. They can track their running progress, share messages about running, achievements, and photos.
    3. A new type of social media app on the blockchain where every follower earns you a specific cryptocurrency.
    4. A new type of dating app where you have to connect your crypto wallet and you only can talk to those that have the same coins as yourself.
    5. A VR game that lets you practice any sports from archery to boxing.

    Feel free to roast me or my project!

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 06:10 AM PST

    For any bloggers out there, do you get paid based off, maybe, advertisements? How do bloggers get paid? I just published my site last night, and I have a podcast + do tarot alongside it. On my site, basically I'm going to transcribe my podcast episodes and add in a few extras (And tarot.) Im fully self employed at this time but have seen little results. I know business won't be booming right at start up, but just looking for some tips and insights, and how I'm able to grow an audience. Thanks!

    What is a business I can start now as a teen and scale to a full time job by the time I am done school?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 09:24 AM PST

    I am 15 and am looking to invest my time growing a company rather than having a standard job. I have around $600 saved that I can invest in tools/equipment or whatever is needed. I have seen many posts about landscaping companies but I am having trouble finding out how to scale them. Could I outsource the work maybe? Anyway, I am looking for some ideas about businesses I could start now. I am willing to work hard; throw your best ideas at me.

    Thoughts on repairing and renting cars

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 09:07 AM PST

    Hi everybody, this idea is in its early stages but I wanted to see if anyone has done something similar to this and if it was feasible. My idea was to buy vehicles from Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, etc. And make any repairs needed. Instead of selling the vehicles I would hold on to them and rent them out on websites such as Turo. I've identified a couple challenges and possible solutions to them.

    1. I'm not a mechanic and have not spent much time under a hood of a car but that is something that I have been interested in learning for a long time. In my eyes this is an opportunity to profit while pursuing a hobby

    2. I would be spending a considerable amount of time transporting these cars from one place to another, probably to the airport. I'm not sure how to tackle this problem yet but one idea is to move to a location where a majority of my clientele will be coming from to mitigate my travel and make it easier to return

    What are your thoughts on this idea and what pieces of the puzzle do you think I should really back-up and look into?

    3.

    Is it worth it to pay for a branding for my web dev business?

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 08:49 AM PST

    Hi!

    I have been doing web dev freelance for a bit over a year. I am still in school, doing a "preuniversity" program (mandatory if you want to go in university where I live). I use this as my backup plan if things go wrong with my business. Starting in June, I will focus on my business full time.

    In the past, I wanted to make all sorts of website (online presence, WordPress, etc.). However, I realized that making things pretty isn't my strength and I would much prefer creating complex websites (custom e-commerce, management software, etc.). Think of it as a "web" software company.

    Anyway, right now my business is brand as "MyIntials Web Design". I liked the name at first, but it doesn't convey anything strong and is quite basic. And I don't even do design.

    I would love to, when I have a bit more money for expenses, spend some money on branding. Let go of the current name (maybe I will use it for another type of website I had in mind) and create a new "brand" that will be more focused on complex websites development. This way, I seem a bit more specialized in the domain and with a better "identity", I can sell more and at a higher price (to confirm?).

    So, would it be worth it to spend a few thousands to get a new name, logo, colors, business cards and a website?

    If you did that, how much did you spend? Was it worth it? Any thing I should think about before starting contacting companies?

    8 Steps to Follow to Build a Successful Marketplace

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 08:36 AM PST

    My team and I have helped many entrepreneurs build successful marketplaces (and other startups) over the years.

    We've also seen many avoidable mistakes.

    That's why we decided to compile a list of best practices based on our experience, hoping it could help other entrepreneurs in this same position.

    It's an 8-step structured process, designed to help entrepreneurs reason on how to build their marketplaces.

    It was created by one of our co-founders, André.

    He used his own experience (he built a marketplace before co-founding Altar) combined with what we've learned over the years helping other founders build their marketplaces.

    And although, like with most things, there is no secret recipe that will guarantee success, this process has a nice track record.

    How to Build a Marketplace that Brings Value to Your Target Users:

    1. Choose a Viable Industry
    2. Define Your Unique Value Proposition
    3. Assess Your Market Size
    4. Design Your Distribution Model
    5. Choose The Right Business Model and Assess the Economic
    6. Build a 10x Better Product
    7. Build Trust on Both Sides
    8. Safeguard & Grow Your Realm

    (For further information check the entire article here)

    Some of the insights listed here are obvious, others not so much.

    But if you combine them all you'll find yourself in a much better position to significantly reduce the chances of failure.

    What is, in your opinion, the most important factor to consider when building a marketplace?

    How the Impossible Burger disrupted the market

    Posted: 14 Dec 2021 07:02 AM PST

    Impossible Foods totally disrupted the meat industry with their plant-based burgers. How did they manage to turn vegetarian burgers into a $7b company when there were already so many plant-based "meat" products out there?
    Instead of targeting their products to vegetarians and vegans, Impossible Foods created a product designed to please meat lovers. This move helped the company completely change the plant-based food game and the perspective of veggie burgers in general.
    The company was started by Patrick Brown, a professor at Stanford who specialized in gene mapping. His goal was to eliminate what he had determined to be the world's most destructive environmental problem: industrial meat production.
    To do this, he took a scientific approach to make plant-based meat. He learned as much as he could about the kind of biochemical reactions that are triggered in our bodies when we consume meat. He tried different plant-based ingredients to replicate those reactions by mixing different proteins and fatty acids.

    First, the company raised $3 million in funding, then they raised over $75 million in a second funding round. After five full years of research and product testing, the company was able to launch its flagship product in 2016 - The Impossible Burger.

    After a couple of production challenges, this plant-based burger started appearing everywhere. They've since developed an "Impossible Sausage" and plant-based "chicken nuggets", and their products are stocked in over 30,000 restaurant locations.

    The Impossible Burger became the go-to burger for non-meat-eaters. Restaurants all over the world started serving them. Even Burger King introduced their Impossible Whopper. This burger went where no other plant-based burgers had gone before. In fact, one Syracuse-based restaurant group was selling 34,000 Impossible Whoppers each day across its locations. For a period in 2019, Impossible Foods' 'ground beef' even outsold ground beef from cows. Clearly, the company's products have been an overwhelming success.

    No other veggie burger has experienced popularity around the world like this.

    The founder had an initial idea of ending meat consumption by 2035, and his $7b company has shown us that it's not necessarily a pipe dream. What do you think about this meat-industry disruptor?

    Interesting articles and videos about the company's early days:
