What's the next phase guys and how can we capitalize on that?

Everything else seems saturated right now or very low margin (see fb ads, dropshipping, amazon fba) . What do you think will be the business that will overtake in 2020?

We can capitalize on that if we are the first doing it

This, so much.

The same things the OP is complaining about is the same shit people bitched about almost 10 years ago. Actually it was harder to make it back then because people were more protective of their money making techniques because they were (rightfully) afraid of creating more competition.

Often you stumble accross something many people want to buy but doesn't scale.

What were you doing in those 10 hour days that was making you $2K? Because it sounds like you were just putting your affiliate link everywhere for that return.

You need a mindset change too.
In order to make semi-passive income in blogging (for example) you need to put in a ton of hours of work in the beginning so that you get to a point, eventually, of updating the blog 1 hour a week. But you still need to put in a lot of work in the beginning.

But if his desire is to work 2 hours a day max in his new project then of course he's going to get over taken by his competitor that is willing to put in more time to make his project work.

well it's really easy to get demonetized on youtube for any number of reasons. On pornhub you're not going to unless it's illegal. One of the highest viewed videos this year had 102 million views. The payout that one-man studio received was $65,000. And he releases a new one every few days that reach in the millions within a week. And this isn't even a top studio, it's one guy(Alex Adams) with a shitty DSLR and no lighting or set up. Half of his videos are not lit by any lighting and zoomed way too close. But coomers don't care and will watch anything unique on pornhub. Good luck making money on youtube unless you're already a top youtuber

Stop. Stop comparing yourself to others and stop focusing on what other people are doing. It doesn't matter.
What are you going to do?
What unique value are you going to offer so someone gives you clicks or money?
For every tactic or platform you name, you can find thousands of losers who didn't do near as well. You are getting suckered into winner confirmation bias. You can study their tactics sure - but if you just copy paste their business so can everyone else.
Read about lean startup stuff, Nail it Then Scale It, Cashvertising, and E-myth revisited. Start poking around not on people making money but on people asking question, people bitching about things they need, etc and start obsessing about market demands.

The stuff I bought online was the womens handbags from US retailers. No extra shipping because an APO Mailbox on base is considered domestic. There was also the AAFES PX on base which sells stuff tax-free. You need to get a job on base to get access, but you don't need that strategy to make money.

Most of my profits came from eBay K. to Bookoo reselling. I could buy a bike from a German for 20€, copy the photos from the eBay listing and list it for sale on Bookoo for $80, and usually have a buyer set before I even picked up the bike from the first guy. The city was Stuttgart and there are 4 bases in Möhringen Vaihingen Böblingen and one closer to downtown. I guess the theme was - take advantage of the language barrier.

That's what makes it alive dumbass

You have to climb the barrier that others don't if you want to get the reward that others don't

Opportunities without barriers get gobbled up in a year. You have to luck into being on the right forum at the right time to find them.

For everyone else, the only way is to treat it like a puzzle: think very carefully about how you can get past the entry barriers.

This is actually a good thing- the existence of a barrier makes it more likely there's still some kind of reward for you on the other side

all of these posts are fucking brainlet, op i understand you the question you are asking is what is the next THING, industry, whatever you want to call it. we seem to agree that there is always something new around the corner but it is difficult to know when the peak of one thing ends and the new 'thing' begins for eg, i thought crypto had peaked in 2013 and btc was dead. i was wrong but the point is even back then you were 'early' not because of btc so much but because of eth and other shitcoins which were the next step in the crypto business. my advice is look at the current industry and what could it be used for next, try and think up a new invention from a series of existing ones like uber. Uber was allowed through a series of different inventions, paypal->smart phone->. app store-> which lead to the ground to be fertile enough for uber to come into being. you need to think along those lines and you will uncover the business of 2020. hope u understand

the >>16421195 anon is completely right; 75% of it is a mindset problem. I used to worry about what what random "program" i was going to do for online businesses. it's all about GIVING what people WANT rather than tactics.

don't fall for crypto. look around you; you see the bustling of thousands of businesses; the law of attraction governs all; you said you have experience with seo and affiliate marketing; how can you be of benefit to those businesses? that's fundamentally what they want. businesses don't care about analytics or any of that bullshit. they want more money$$$. you can also transfer your skills to others with courses; this is a game of knowledge. you have to "productize yourself" and build your own brand. i suggest watching the naval ravikant podcast with joe rogan and his how to get rich podcast; this changed my life.

Isn't that like asking what business ideas exist for Legos? Or bricks?

You build shit out of them. It's so vague to ask what business ideas exist for them- think about shit that can only exist with blockchain or that gets massively improved by it.

Or think of shit that would be massively improved if you didn't have to trust that another business wouldn't try to fuck you by falsifying records, or trying to delay payment, etc.

Think about what they enable and what kinds of businesses might benefit

If you can get some shit job doing work that people keep saying will be revolutionized by blockchain or chainlink "someday" then that might also give you an advantage in thinking of ideas while the whole thing is still new, but unless you have money to hire coders, you'll want to be teaching yourself to code in your free time while you do this (and teaching yourself to code might actually get you the job in one of these places you want to be)

I would say it's good to understand smart contracts, but they are still only a tool that lets you build more stuff.

They are just a different kind of programming tool.

I work as a swe for a fang company and I make $250k/yr and you know what? All I know is coding. I don't know about any actual businesses. I can build what I'm told but I don't know enough about any business or induatro to actually recognize a problem and write code that offers value to people who have that problem by solving it for them.

So it's not enough to know how to code- it's not enough to know what kinda of things you can do with smart contracts.

You need to know what your tools (coding skills, blockchain, smart contracts) can do but also you need to learn about problems people have somehow and solve them. Otherwise you end up on an internet forum asking for ideas on how to use smart contracts, like a manual laborer saying he has a hammer and a toolbox but doesn't know what to do with them to make money. Like, maybe for now he should join a local business. Maybe a housing construction place, maybe a local handyman service that serves businesses, etc. But SOMETHING. And at some point he should start to see chances to go off on his own.

Read millionaire fastlane for something you convince you that starting your business is the only way to make it (unless you bought link lol), read Unscripted (especially Unscripted) by the same author for a metric FUCKTON of tips on how to think of ideas and recognize if they have make-it potential (instead of just potential to give you a "job" for the rest of your life)

Yeah but I'm hearing more and more of the occasional person who didn't

Here is someone who was a personal trainer, who if I understood his timeline right, learned to code in two months, spent two more months building his own toy projects, and then got a coding job:
https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/how-i-got-hired-as-a-software-engineer-without-a-college-degree.92131/

It was hard to understand from his writing but I think he also built a business while working? So you don't need school for it and honestly:

1. The first two years of my schooling were unrelated. I learned more doing java tutorials in highschool than I did in the first two years of college

If I spent those two years coding instead I would probably have been a better coder

Instead, I got some shit coding skills in highschool and then in college we learned some more theoretical computer science stuff and I graduated without actually knowing how to code anything useful. I had to spend six months learning how to build web uis, how databases work, how to write code that powers a website, etc., before I could do HALF the stuff mentioned in junior engineer job postings within a 90minute drive of my parent's house. Once had I half the skills (even though I was BAD at that half, having only done the equivalent of tutorial for each skill and then a shitty, ugly, insecure reddit clone) of any job posting, I would just apply for the job.

If you've got half the shit they need, that's enough for you to get lucky. Think of it like rolling dice- eventually you get the desired outcome.

>I had to spend six months learning how to build web uis, how databases work, how to write code that powers a website, etc., before I could do HALF the stuff mentioned in junior engineer job postings
But I wasn't learning these things full-time. Most of my time after graduating, I was playing videogames and trying to ignore my mom increasingly telling me that I needed to get a job. I probably averaged like 10-15hrs a week of actual programming and learning in those six months. I honestly hate to code, despite learning at 15/16, studying it in school, and spending the last 6-7 years doing it professionally.

The only time I like coding is if I'm building something I person want to build, which is NEVER. Outside the rare two or three occasions in the past fifteen years or so when I had weeks of free time and either vacation or no requirement to work (due to being unemployed and living with my mom).

The need to be able to coopt the armies by bribery back into, unironically, mercenaries, so as not to be arrested and trialed as terrorists as inevitably the governments fight back for omnimonopoly. Also, equally relevant, the acknowledgment that financial monopoly isn't disappearing by enforcing theft of the middle classes assets but the opposite, ie. by creating

I thought about creating the website for dentists in my country. There are over 40 cities with a population of 100k+ people. It would be TOP 10 dental companies in every city so in total it could be 400 companies on lists. Every company would have a profile with reviews, calling/mailing buttons that would generate traffic.

If you need to have someone on the internet tell you if your idea is good, there are two possibilities:

1. Your idea sucks shit. People tell you that your idea sucks shit. Some stupid people tell you that your idea is good.

2. Your idea is good. People tell you that your idea sucks shit but steal it and make money on it themselves. Some honest people tell you that your idea is good.

If you have an idea, figure out the cheapest possible way to test it. You can set up two or three of these kinds of websites you're thinking of and then pay for Google ads to send people to them and see what happens. And basically you can do this for any kind of idea you've got- set up a website, spend a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars on Google advertising.

If you don't have that much money, figure out where else to get eyeballs on it from the people you would hope to sell to. Instagram and other social media may have people with thousands of followers who are willing to post about your product with a link to your site for like $25-250.

You don't even need to have a real product for this- you can just collect email addresses and tell people you'll email them when the product is available, and then assume that like 10-30% of those people might actually buy, or you could even have a "buy" button or even entire ordering flow that just tells them something like "sorry, we're sold out" when clicked. This would be even more accurate at telling you if you have a good idea or not: you now know what percentage of your sites visitors will buy, so you can decide if it would be profitable to actually buy or manufacture your product and sell it.

If you have an idea you think has potential, just test it. Asking the internet about it does virtually nothing- at best, your idea just gets stolen.

If you want to know if the thing you want to do has "potential", read the book UNSCRIPTED by the author of millionaire fastlane.

TikTok is the #1 social media app in the world

TikTok uses machine learning recommendation to remove the need for decision and choice for it's users. They are literally deciding what these 1.5 billion users think, feel, like, do.
TikTok has already invested or has stakes in multiple news companies
Vine failed because they ran out of money, meanwhile TikTok is owned by a massive Chinese corporation called ByteDance.

Next time do your due diligence before you dismiss something because it's "cringe".

Obviously TikTok is not the same as the internet, that was a dramatic comparison to make a point. Don't attack that strawman of my actual argument, which is about the actual value of TikTok. We're in a thread about making money, and to dismiss TikTok entirely as a way of making money by calling it Vine 2.0 is extremely short-sighted.

Gotcha. I totally understand what you're doing, and wish you the best with Google. Diversify as much as you can. Godspeed.

holy shit it's almost like all you low IQ zoomers all overestimate your intelligence and walking examples of dunning kruger in action lmfao

i'm glad the internet is letting smart gooks and chinks outsmart spoiled community college dropouts that think that "blogging and drop shipping" are legitimate forms of entrepreneurship

Buying as many Tesla Model 3's or Y's as possible and getting ready for the Over-The-Air-Update that turns them into Robotaxis.

I do marketing for rappers and big entertainers/influencers in this space. I talked to a kid last week who has 500k followers on TikTok. He goes on livestream for about an hour each night and can easily pull in 800-1200 dollars. This is through "gifts" and "emojis" which are enabled by non-refundable in app purchases.

As for putting your face on it... not sure what the solution would be. Maybe make an account for your dog or e-whore.

Just some ideas that work for me but go against 90% of /biz/ is go into low tech businesses:

Laundry services, car detailing/repainting, lawn servicing (tree trimming, landscaping), firewood delivery, gutter installer, pressure washing, etc.

These are low skill and low risk but there is great money to be made.

I used low tech businesses to bankroll my real estate and ATM business.

Libra coming online 2020.
I don't want it to get big but it will be big.

However there is a sliver of hope:

Real crypto is however doomed. Blockstream successfully delayed Bitcoin so much that it is too late.
