Anyone do mailers before? I am trying to target construction companies and I don't think that email blasts would generate as much as me just physically mailing them the product. I have talked to three larger companies already and they all said that my product is great and I should send it to others.

Any idea what I should expect from sending 1000 packages of stuff to people that I know need them?

Start with a simple bright colored envelope with a personal note asking if they're at all interested.

Something truly attention-grabbing. Then send them the sample of the product if they're interested.

This way you're disqualifying the large amount of people who'll just ignore your thing, and curating a list of people who are most likely to buy.

And it's cheaper than sending lumpy mail for a first blast.

Also don't forget to follow up ruthlessly. You want their business, make sure they know it.

Yeah, I am basically just producing 1,000 of my product in a scaled down business card form with my contact info. The state just moved in and said that they have to have what I make and as far as I can tell they are all scrambling to find places to have them made. Some don't even know what they are looking for is called so that's why I moved to immediately sending product.

Good call on the note, I think I could send those out of state and use it to get a break on shipping cost for the ones with product nearby. I'll follow up after I do it and let you guys know how many new accounts came from it.

I don't have a ton to add, but these threads don't get a lot of love and I want to keep lurking them.

Took an online course for a month on digital marketing, fizzled out of it, only takeaway I got from it is that you should get google adwords certified, basic seo/ppc whatever, put together a good resume and try to get your foot in the door for a digital marketing job. The prospect of online money is exciting because you assume there is an extremely vast array of ways you can syphon money from people. But it all just boils down to spam, affiliate links, youtube, blogs, dropshipping. Not really including freelance in that. When you genuinely do not believe you can make money with it, it's hard to dedicate time into learning it. Especially because a lot of it is just to push some type of product or "thing" that you have created.

Halfway through listening to "How to fail at almost everything and still win big" and he pushes the idea that you should have systems you follow for success, not goals. A lot of what he talks about sounds good, it's just you kind of have to already have a clue of what you are good at or think you can do before implementing them. I don't know exactly what qualifies a skill or thing I think I'd be good at, like you hear that stuff and try to dig in your mind back to childhood for hints or something and it all seems worthless.

TL:DR: Digital Marketing is extremely demoralizing and feels worthless when going from a 0 skillset NEET and trying to somehow have money drop in your paypal. The mindsets used for success is also worthless IF you have no clue in the first place what you are good/excel at, if anything.

Is it viable to sell pirated e-books on eBay or my country's equivalent?

[DRC !!wwHMYEPSSvE No.11839369]

>>11839268
Sounds like we got off on the wrong foot.

If you're looking at shitter-level shit, you're obviously going to see a lot of affiliate, shady, spammy stuff.

At the same time, there's many ways to have a clean business that is 100% legal, with happy customers, and no bullshit.

I very highly recommend getting Doberman Dan's "Just Sell The Damn Thing" book if you're looking for something which doesn't mess around. "DotCom Secrets" is also an excellent intro to the serious side of online business, and it touches on many things which are the difference between a spammy CPC affiliate 'business', and an actual business with a serious offering.

You say you're 0 skillset, but you write decently. You could run your posts through say, HemingwayApp or something, and start making dough writing content. It doesn't pay well, but it's definitely a step-up from not having any income.

Thanks, I'll throw um in the text file list. The core skill, or product, any actual substance is what I have an issue with creating/understanding. Along with actually believing and having faith in it or myself (not to sound dramatic, you know probably know the feeling, learning basic concepts of skills needed for _____ business, reading on some website or course. In the back of your head "this is a complete waste of time, fluff, I have no clue how I personally can make money by learning this". Then also just being lazy for days/weeks, but then going "If I was meant/wanted to do it, wouldn't it excite and motivate me, or am I making excuses? Does anyone "like" anything? I don't think I'll ever have the discipline", etc. etc. more negative inner monologue (specifically it's what I consider realistic thoughts, along with confusion, but I suppose that is still negative)

Not to be a downer, at the very least me, and everyone else can cram pirated self help books into their head.

> Short sold 18 BCH near the top of the last pump
> Withdraw 1500 euros to the bank, this is equal to 2.5 months of expenses, but the expenses could be lower
> Now bought bach 23.1 BCH
> Still got a bit over 5000 TUSD

Now I want to devise a strategy for possible market movements. It's quite possible that altcoins bottomed out, as BCH deflated 95%. But BTC still may go down, and this time it couldn't pull the altcoins with it. There still room for BTC to deflate.

On the flip side, if it would return to the previous high of 650, that would be 15k USD worth of BCH.

So I am trying to find out entry points to max out my BCH position while keeping enough life roll, and I can cut expenses as low as 250 euros a month.

Is investing into metaphysical stuff (Tarot, Crystals, Wicca, Etc) worth it? I have zero connection to it personally, however i have the unfortunate insight into the culture and people who are into that sort of thing. I am leaning more towards an online start and if it picks up then a storefront investment with people able to rent kiosks/booths within the store, though preferably in a left-leaning college city in hopes that the shit i'd peddling will sell like hotcakes. Would i at least turn 2k gross based on that vague as fuck description?

Depends on your region, though it'd probably be successful if you watch your costs carefully and don't spend too much in rent or something. That said, there are a whole fucking lot of esoteric shops where I live, so watch out for any competition.

[Anonymous No.11840667]

>>11840529
What is your general area or at least its archetype so i know to be aware of it? I would try like hell to avoid competition by promoting collaboration through the aforementioned vendor idea, events, festivals, etc. I don't have any personal connection either like a psychic or medium, whereas most shop owners usually are. I think that can work to my advantage if i approach them personally.

Also there is a far fetched idea of setting up on waterfront property next to a strong river/current and using a horizontal dam-like structure to generate electricity to cover most most if not all utility costs, probably retarded though.

If you can make things under a pound or that could fit in a USPS padded envelope you'd be able to offer a wide array of products that could be relatively competitive on price.

>>11836944

Easier said than done. For example, a lot of sellers on Alibaba are actually middlemen that are simply brokering for factories/manufacturers and are adding their mark up because you see a low price and figure it's incredible.

If it's digital, consulting, remote you're probably fine. If you have people coming and going it'll be an issue since you're fully using it for commercial use. Your best bet is to talk to the landlord and probably consult a local lawyer involved in real estate.

If you're making $30 at a retail position I'd sure as hell like to know what you're doing unless you're a store general manager or in a country with inflated wages.

Escape rooms seem like a niche that's working out. My only question is what experience do you have with that kind of stuff and how much are you willing to flesh it out? You will absolutely at some point need a designer to keep rooms unique, probably a marketer to keep you relevant, and any other help with business functions unless you're confident you can handle operations, accounting, financial management etc.

>>11840071

It'd be cool to have an online moniker and generate leads to your site (or a third party service if you want to build your network on there). Probably high margins if you do it the remote way.

My town seems to have a shift towards older people living in the area. I've had an idea of finding homes with good book value that are simply ugly (paint, shit lawn job, etc.) and cleaning them up and then renting them out to older folk who simply need a place to vegetate. Basically be super friendly to any families that want their parents living there and explain how I'm simply trying to keep rents consistent. Offer them a deal where if they choose to renew their rent that you'd cap your maximum increase to $50 a month for taxes, maintenance, etc and really explain that you'd only do it if taxes went up or something.

The cherry on top would be if you had an online store/ebay account. If they eventually pass away or do make a move to a retirement home you could offer them a service of cleaning their shit up for free and let them pick over their photos, memorabilia etc. It'd be huge to flip their furniture or whatever locally and I imagine their kids don't want to spend anymore time moving shit around.

If anyone's interested in doing a collaborative dropshipping business project, start by joining the discord. This is firstly a learning project where you can implement whatever skill you have, or want to learn. If the dropshipping becomes profitable, then we can reinvest/share the profit after expenses. If it's successful, then you can copy the model we create and make your own business.

Some anons were having trouble with the discord link for some reason, but here's the permanent link, as well as the temporary:

https://discord.gg(slash)gTXuwU

https://discord.gg(slash)6mBdPwQ

I want to get started soon since we have a couple anons in here already, and a couple more interested.

>I don't know exactly what qualifies a skill or thing I think I'd be good at
The thing that you are good at is the thing that you do as a hobby. The thing that you do even if nobody pays you for it. Whatever it is. That's your Thing. There are probably jobs around that thing, but you might have to think very hard if it's something like "I like playing videogames". But there is going to be something there that can make you money. If nothing else, you can write articles about your thing, and become a journalist.

I don't think enjoying passive entertainment or consumerism translates to anything. Writing is it's own separate hobby/skill, that isn't the thing you like itself, even if you wanted to say "well it's like talking about it". The prospect of writing about games or music on a wordpress blog or whatever is pointless and saturated. And again, it isn't the thing you like doing, then assuming you want money you have to learn digital/affiliate marketing which is the real job anyway.

When people say that it just sounds like "hey you've probably been programming for fun the last few years, intensive graphic design, or building artificial hearts that revive the dead, just monetize that ya dummy!"

I need money and I'm thinking about tutoring. I have literally no money to advertise with (currently), but I have a website and a dedicated phone number.
My issue is that I can't exactly figure out who to target.
One potential target audience is parents - I don't know how to reach them, though. My end goal for the business is to get into making content like books and courses.
Alternatively, I could go for the kids that want to do well (or enjoy it) and make blog posts / Youtube videos / courses / books for them (and post them on social media), but that seems a little tougher. I know Art of Problem Solving has done that pretty well, which gives me some hope. And I know how to advertise on social media a little better for kids than parents.
Anyone have an opinion on which route I should go first? Anyone know how I should advertise?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I work at a place and have access to: an advanced sticker printing machine, t-shirt printing and high end lasers to cut acrylic, polycarb, and other random shit, as well as etch wood/aluminum. I have the ability on my days off to use these machines. I've got no ideas except ebaying meme-stickers or cutting out and etching meme-acrylic wojacks or pepes. I can use all the scrap materials for no cost too. I'm sitting on a goldmine and have no fucking ideas. Obviously if I quit my job I lose access to all this equipment (the lasers are worth millions). Any ideas? Honestly at the end of a 45 hour week all I want to do is drink and waste away but I know if I get something going I could double my income. In a previous thread the ideas given were: placards for weddings and acrylic chairs.

You need to change your attitude dude. People turn what they like or know how to do into things everyday. If you have no skills and just want to make money, go back to school and learn something and get a career. Even people on YouTube make money talking about their passions or hobbies, even if they make a small amount and have a small audience. Everything is saturated. Every single idea in history has been done already. So what? People still make a living doing the sames things as other people every day. Theres a million liquor stores, hundreds of donut shops, delivery services, mattress stores etc. People who have such a defeatist attitude like yours is depressing. Fucking try something. Then if that doesn't work try something else until something sticks. Isn't there anything you like autistically? (Ie are passionate about) even if it's stupid? I don't want to be harsh it's just certain people want help but refuse any advice.

It's a small business and I've been told I can work on my own stuff on the side if I pay for materials and stuff. Scrap would be free and if the item I make is small enough (under 8 x 8 inches) I could have near infinite free scrap. I'd have to check next week what the sticker machine is, but it's advanced and by the same company that makes the lasers. It's like 40 inches by 40 inches so it can be used to detail cars and shit.

Why not try and find fairly successful meme pages on social media with no products, contact them and offer to make products for them for a cut? You could make cool designs and collab with them, sell for a higher price. Idk I so want to help but I don't have many ideas for you. I have a meme instagram where I have oc and reaction pics and id love to have that kind of access. My page is super small though. I hope you find a way to monetize it dude.

You briefly mentioned watches, why not resell that? Learn more about them, learn to fix them. I've seen numerous Armenians open little watch kiosks and they make money. Enough to afford rent in a very rich mall that overcharges. Same thing with fixing and reselling phones. Unless you live in a commieblock I cant really feel sorry for you. You have a serious defeatist attitude and until you fix that, you won't go anywhere. That's my opinion at least. If you haven't already there's stuff in the Dropbox about starting stuff online, people have already suggested stuff but you keep refusing it or dismissing it pointless or whatever.
Also shit you said about candy here >>11848017 look up Japanese candy art. People literally fucking make a business out of anything. Unboxing channels exist.

Okay, so would a cheaper battery-only version with 3 hours endurance for $7k, and a more expensive solar version with 6-12 hours endurance (depending on sunlight) for $10k make sense? They would cost $2k and $5k to make, respectively, netting me $5k per drone. Should I go cheaper, or try to maximize profit more? Also how do I into market research and pricing?

Are range and endurance not very big sellers then? The solar version can map 27 square miles of terrain at a 400 foot altitude in one eight hour flight.

[Anonymous No.11850952]

>>11850781

I couldn't tell you, if I had to guess, it'd come down to price point. Endurance/range can be fixed by swapping the battery (at the expense of time). That said, range/endurance become a much bigger deal for surveillance . I'd suggest having a look at industry suppliers of drone solutions are supplying as kits to customers. The needs for aerial survey vs point cloud modelling vs ndvi veg health vs asset inspection vs livestock management vs law enforcement/military vs whatever uses you can think of vary. I'm new to the commercial side of the drone game so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Question for the AMers, PPCers, bloggers etc :

I purchased a few domain, about health, weightloss, one about redpill theories to do something like therationalmale, in my native ( French ) language since there doesn't seem to be any blog on the subject, one to make money online etc .

But now I'm wondering, and hesitate between 2 business models. I want to provide value first, but I'm afraid once I'll implement affiliate offers, the quality will defacto decrease, and I'll lose the authority I made weeks/months to build

What's my options ? Create 4 blogs in the 4 niches I chose to cover providing real value to my audience with little advertising, very discrete AM to earn a little bit and then create 2/3 blogs in each niche with full on affiliate marketing strategy in place where I can somehow use the authority site built before ( probably though backlinks )to convert more sales

What do you guys think

Don't, unless the value contributes to the sale.

There's really no reason for you to give away info for free; instead, provide active commentary on current events, as a way to siphon people's attention, and then present your product as something that'll help them in a related topic.

Living in Aus so $30 aud/hr, translates to around $21.75 usd/hr. Also get penalty rates on Sundays which makes it 45 aud/hr. Work at a liquor store with casual employment but I average 30+ hours each week. Good pay but the work is really not fulfilling. The company I work for also increases wages by .50c every 6 months due to some employee agreement laws so the pay gradually increases each year.

Honestly don't have any experience with maintaining any businesses. I've learned a lot from my parents with how they run their business though. But I feel like, at least in the beginning, I wouldn't need a designer as I'd be buying a pre-established Escape Room place.
