the last thread went better than I thought, was in interesting read

What do you guys think about a Youtube cooking channel, later on maybe publish some cooking ebooks too?

Anyone own any ATMs?

Literally a meme like most “passive income”

a g-good /biz thread ??
It cant b-be

I stopped opening these threads because the people in them are really dumb.

Anyone have experience with tutoring? I got good grades in an engineering degree and rates are good ($30-50 an hour) so thinking about tutoring something easy like calculus 1 or basic physics. Should I go through a tutoring service or independent? Transitioning between jobs right now so I figure if I end up in a city with a uni I post flyers around campus otherwise go with a service so marketing is easier. Any thoughts?

if you can handle people and are good in tutoring, why not?

>Direct Response Copywriting
Is this possible for non native english speaker such as myself?
I wrote art, screenplays and shit, surely i can write some copy and get paid.

I don’t know the market but I assume if you are a good cook and are entertaining it might work out. Cooking e-books could work if you gain a bit of a following. Maybe have a website with recipes that you link in videos to generate ad revenue?

I've had fibromyalgia since I was 10 and my father beat me for being in too much pain to go to school.

When do you predict there will no longer be a constant stream of hackers getting wealthy? Like Gate, Woz, Carmack, etc.. Every year there's new projects w/ teams going from broke to rich - are we on a log curve that's gonna start exponentially decreasing every year after a critical point? If so, where are we on that point? Just how dried up is the well currently?

I need to work on things I find deeply fulfilling, interesting and engaging, so that rules out shitloads of stuff. I want to have something I can fanatically and frantically work on, all the time, for myself. Until then I'll continue to look for interesting work with teams, but I think you guys get the jist. I'm so jealous when I read about people like Bill Gates who got to clock in so much time working on a lucrative, intersting and challenging project, sounds like a blast and that's how I'd like to live at some point.

To add some content, I've started a (very) small scale mushroom farm and can answer some questions. Down the road (6-12 months) I'd like to get into other ventures that utilize the equipment I already have, seems like a reasonable next step - I just wanna keep moving forward and building new things, getting new streams of income, and getting more of my time back. And here's some agreeable reading:

The OP is very much advice for americans, any stuff for europeans?

anything involving tourism lol

hey anons please post random business stories you've been involved with? both failures and successes

Hey I remember these threads.
I always fell for them because they seemed to have potential but were inevitably trash.
>slumlording STILL in $1-$10k section

right? pls change that next time OP lol. And we need less meme stuff like affiliate, dropshipping, webdev, web marketing, etc

>Some Investment Required($1k-10k)
>Slumlording

Where, in fucking Detroit?

Based Dad trying to beat the lazy+disease out of his spoiled son

I was thinking about starting a marketing agency/ temp agency, anyone have any personal experience in those fields?

Be ruthless, Jow Forums
Is this cringe, is it autistic, is it manipulative fellow kids spiel? Most importantly, does it have the potential to work? I studied copywriting long enough that I grew to hate it and I'm not sure if this comes off as some manipulative shitpost or not.
My game plan is
>put these flyers up on community bulletin boards - local gym, stores, restaurants, schools, etc
>pay out $10 for every referral or $10 off for direct contact
I have a lot of experience doing housecalls and being well-received for it. I've never advertised and have barely done anything in this line of work for the past 5 years. Nevertheless, I still get business from the occasional word-of-mouth referral.
I'll have contact tabs for people to tear off. If it succeeds and I could still use some more work, then I'll save a portion of the funds advertise in the local newspaper and merchandiser.
If there's anything I should tone down or remove, I'm open to brutal criticism.

I'm trying to sell handmade products via Instagram and Reddit but I'm having trouble with branding and marketing myself. I have good quality products, good photos of the product and a fair price, but I feel like the thing that's holding me back is a good writeup about my products. Are there any resources where I can learn this? I'm not even sure what area this falls under so I don't know what to Google

To me it comes off as postironic and not cringe but I have been a heavy meme user for 15 years now so take that as you will

Just outsource to fiverr bro
>very nice product, pleas do the needful and purchasing sirs

It never hurts to study copywriting a little bit. If you do it enough, all forms of advertising will make your stomach turn.
I recommend Cashvertising by Drew E Whitman
Also, know your demo. A lot of middle-aged women have a bunch of disposable income and like the same kind of things.

I toned some aspects of it down a little and emphasized a few more keywords
>Get Paid
>Easiest
>Cash
>Ever
>here's what I'm looking for, etc
The bulk of my customers will likely be over the age of 45. I want to write this in a way that it gets the attention of teenagers and 20-somethings that could use some beer money without making the print too small for my customer base to read.

I have a printing company. I specialise in wide format graphics for corporate events. I have worked at several similar shops and have learnt the technical / production of the side of the business, but have never really endevoured to the learn the sales /marketing side of things. How do I find a reliable employee / partner with the skills to compliment mine ? I'm currently making 2-3k a week with side customers and wage cucking for the steady paycheck but ultimately I want my own shop. How can I makee it happen user?

Reseller , I find cheap stuff online or at stores and sell them either eBay or Facebook marketplace. Those are my two specialties as of now. You get good by doing your DD. I literally just made $65 dollars in the last hour. My goal right now to make cash flow consistent. Right now i can make 300 in sales during one weekend but the next could be nothing , all from different variables (weather, news, color , description, background, just too name a few). I'm compiling a list of data points from my buyers to see what the ideal buying situation is ,too improve sales on Marketplace. If i hustle hard enough i can make 2k a month just with Facebook.

just basic clean up like alignment, and a numbered list could go a long way.

how does this look?

How many hours do you put per day/month/week avg? How much do you make? Do you have shittons of storage space? My bro just started buying a bunch of junk to resell. I've tried it before but don't have the space / patience, but I do make regular flips on books since I already have the pricing in my head for the good ones and they're often high margin and low space. Have you brought any programming to the game? I tried this last time to scrape for deals on Facebook, eBay, Alixpress, Craigslist, OfferUp, etc.. When I did it, I was all about cutting down my man hours and getting high margin small items when possible. But I didn't do it long, I needed regular income more than the invest-and-resell nature of flipping.

Reads like a scam

Congrats, this is something I’d chuckle at while walking

u better get up early u double nigger

do you legit have autism?

Content is decent. But you should add a picture in there. People need a reason to look at your flyer specifically if it's on a bulletin, and a comp pic will stand out to people interested in reading about that topic.

Fiverr is a good place for random skills like writing.Also, if it's handmade, you should consider selling on Etsy and look into utilizing their ad campaigns.

received good inputs from adv and pol, would like to asked Jow Forums on this one

I would like to build a free speech platform similar to Jow Forums, but the twist is the users can only interact with their contacts..
>why? what problems are you trying to solve?
- your friends/families dont use Jow Forums
- you might want to seek advice from them without them knowing who you are
- you might want to challenge them to debate on certain topic
- you might want to confess and let your contacts know something about yourself that you dont want to tell them face to face

>why ask?
I want to validate my idea to see if there are people who want to use this kind of thing. From my research, 60% of responses from adv wants this cause they want some answers from their families and confess to their crush... 80% of pol wants to share critical info and redpill their normie friends...

I want to do something familiar
create a Jow Forums 1:1 imageboard just for my target group
anonymous without reputation system
people can post without name attached

that said:
has someone a good help source how to do that?
are there 1 click solutions?

Best stream of passive income to set up with $15k?

thanks i guess
yes

you mean like you create a thread but only selected people can read and reply to the thread? if so, no such thing exist yet... at least, not that I know of, that is why I want to do it... I think the world really needs a new social network that is people-focused.

Right now, the problem with mainstream social network such as fb and twitter, accounts with big followings (media group, politicians, artist) can push agendas and psyops, and the followers will agreed and react accordingly. Reddit upvoting system also tends to do this.

something like this already exists and is decently popular in europe

www.jodel.com

no

a copy of Jow Forums, just as my own imageboard
like he said >but only selected people can read and reply to the thread? if so, no such thing exist yet...
put everything behind password protection should do the trick

>Right now, the problem with mainstre.....
yes and taht such :(

I want to open a dunkin franchise in a small wealthy suburb that has zero coffee shops. Seems like guaranteed money

why not starbucks, isn’t that the trendy coffee shop? I don’t drink coffee so don’t know anything about this but I would guess dunkin is the working mans coffee. unless this wealthy suburb is blue collar

Do you have any experience running a store

No, I was thinking I would just get some try hard high schoolers to supervise the operation
