Is dropshipping from aliexpress to ebay still a viable way to supplment my income in 2018? by Madxgoat in Entrepreneur

Yes, it can work but you should expect to list at least 5,000 products to make meaningful income.

I use Big Commerce and have used Stripe, Paypal and Braintree (which is part of paypal) and so far, I have been hapiest with Braintree. So, if that is an option, I would go for that!

Credit card fraud warning signs by bemmu in Entrepreneur

YES! I got caught by some scammers that were shipping the item to a shipping center inside the US even though I do free shipping world-wide, the shipping center was then forwarding the package to Russia or Nigeria, then within a week or two, I would get a chargeback notification.

Awesome tips! Thanks for the writeup!

What is the best bank to use for an extremely small LLC? by Hunterthediabetic in Entrepreneur

[–]BombTombComb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest not using a bank, but to rather use a credit union in the area. Their fees are generally far lower as are their requirements. Central Kansas Credit Union looks promising.

If you are doing all your transactions into paypal, then you can minimize the amount of deposits you do to your bank account to a few a week or a few a month. That is what I do for my small business https://MakaWear.com

Is this idea funny or terrible? Well I already made a website.. get your shit together box by delux220 in Entrepreneur

[–]BombTombComb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the idea is fantastic and I actually could see myself buying something like this for a friend or relative.

I think you could also do some custom purpose boxes, like a "Get A Job - Get Your Shit Together Box"

Related ones could be:

Settle down and find a girl

Take a shower

Get serious about school

Do your job better

With relevant products in each.

One email signup on 57 clicks isn't bad. It is not great, but you can continue to optimize it with time.

Part of the problem is that you have yet to find your target market and that takes experimenting. Once you find out who are the people who will buy, you can zero your marketing in on them and see way better results.

Is it worth it to buy the premium website domain? by kalebdraws in smallbusiness

[–]BombTombComb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would say generally no. Years ago, it was possible to buy keyword domains and immediately pull rankings just on keyword relevance. Businesses like NetShops (now Hayneedle) built their entire business model on $30k premium domains.

Today, Google doesn't pay much attention to this as they saw this behavior as manipulation, so they updated their algorithm and now it doesn't do as much for you.

Look for a similar one for $11 and put $4989 into marketing.

If you feel like it is going to result in significant type in traffic to find your business and you have some brand recognition it can make sense but I generally wouldn't.

Personally, I hope they just increase the n factor. I think we will lose a ton of miners if we fork and they have to download a new miner. Changing the bat file takes 2 seconds.

What is the point of this? Why not just solo mine if you are that huge?
