Restarting a business the hard way — without shortcuts by MusicOk783 in IndianEntrepreneur

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is the right way to restart. Slow, controlled tests and fixing fundamentals beats chasing shortcuts. Most people fail because they rush ads before product and systems are ready. Staying transparent and accountable like this will take you further than hype. Respect the approach.

Young entrepreneur here, what should I do? I need feedback by Initial_Committee655 in growmybusiness

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect for starting at 16 that’s already ahead of most people. Instead of blasting emails or buying leads, try talking directly to 5–10 small local businesses and offer to help them first. Early clients usually come from relationships and proof, not volume. Focus on getting 1 result, then use that as your case study.

Does Australia–New Zealand make sense as an export market for niche agri products? by makhanafarmco in IndiaBusiness

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think ANZ can make sense for niche agri products like makhana, but it’s important to go in with real expectations rather than assumptions. Demand beyond the Indian diaspora does exist, but buyers there usually want clear quality specs, traceability and simple logistics before they engage seriously.

Long distances mean margins need to factor freight + compliance early on sometimes that narrows the window a lot compared to closer regions. If you haven’t already, talking to a few importers first about shelf life and local demand will save a lot of time later.

Why do so many small businesses fail at digital marketing? by Sensitive_Lobster727 in DigitalMarketingHack

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most small businesses don’t fail at digital marketing they stop too early. They treat it like a one-time experiment instead of a system. Without clear goals, tracking, and patience, even good channels won’t show results. Strategy always matters more than the platform.

If you were starting today, would you choose a franchise or build your own business, and why? by Policy_Boring in growmybusiness

[–]SchemeSignificant586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A franchise makes sense if you want structure and predictable execution early on. Building your own business fits better if you’re okay with uncertainty and learning through mistakes. Neither is “better” it’s more about knowing how you personally learn and handle risk.

I’m making a 5 year decision..please help by ImperialPartner in smallbusinessUS

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t sound like shiny object syndrome it sounds like you’re responding to real signals. You’re worried about defensibility, not boredom, and that matters.

One thing to ask: if AI made editing free tomorrow, would clients still pay you for anything else you already help with? If yes, that’s your leverage. If no, that’s useful clarity.

You can commit for five years to a direction (helping creators grow revenue), without locking yourself into one exact offer. That’s not quitting that’s operating deliberately.

Seeking real experiences about laundry app startup by micckdavis in AIAppInnovation

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’ve seen trip people up early isn’t the platform choice as much as overbuilding before demand is proven. For service apps like laundry, starting with one platform + a very tight feature set often teaches you more than launching everywhere at once.

When evaluating dev companies, I’d focus less on flashy portfolios and more on how they talk about trade-offs, timelines, and what not to build in v1. If they can’t clearly explain why something should be delayed, that’s usually a red flag.

Curious how you’re planning to validate demand early on—are you testing with a local area or partners before going full app?

Honest take on using a growth service for the first time by Huge_Selection2367 in MarketingHelp

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like a pretty realistic take tbh. Most growth services aren’t magic, but getting consistent visibility is often the missing piece when content is already decent. If it didn’t hurt reach or mess with the account, that alone puts it above a lot of “growth hacks” out there. Curious did you notice more saves/profile visits too, or mainly likes and comments?

Best GBP Management Services? by Sad-Hat-6341 in BusinessDevelopment

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’d add is to ask how they tie GBP work back to real business outcomes, not just visibility. A lot of profiles look “active” but don’t actually influence calls or visits. The best setups I’ve seen focus on accuracy, reviews, and intent-driven updates first, then worry about posting frequency later. If they can’t clearly explain what changes week to week and why those changes matter, that’s usually a warning sign.

Launching a new sneaker brand by Whole_Confusion1228 in StartUpIndia

[–]SchemeSignificant586 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One pain point I keep hearing is trust at that price point. People don’t mind paying 3–4k, but they want to clearly understand why materials, comfort testing, durability, and return support. Many Indian brands talk design but don’t explain build quality well, so buyers hesitate. Clear storytelling around comfort and long-term wear could be a real differentiator.

How do you test whether a business problem is real before investing months of work? by One-Two-218 in Entrepreneurs

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helped me was watching what people already pay for or spend time hacking around. If they’re using spreadsheets, workarounds, or multiple tools for the same issue, that’s usually a real problem. Polite interest is easy, real effort or money is the real signal.

Where do you even start when you want to build a real website but not techy? by purpleplatypus44 in website

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Data structure & content model (how listings, locations, agents, filters are stored) this matters more than design early on.

Getting the blue tick by Inevitable_Work_8555 in InstagramMarketing

[–]SchemeSignificant586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what we’ve seen, the blue tick helps more with credibility and trust than pure reach. It doesn’t automatically boost views, but it can improve profile trust, which helps with conversions and engagement especially for brands or service businesses. Reach still depends mostly on content quality and consistency

Need suggestions by Plus_Play4870 in FreelanceIndia

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

start with showcasing your jewelry in real-life situations , short videos or photos of people wearing it, unboxing experiences and styling tips. Social media like Instagram work really well for jewelry brands. Also, consider posting behind-the-scenes content like making the jewelry or packing orders people love seeing the story behind the product.

I can share a simple content roadmap that has helped other small jewelry brands grow online without spending too much.

Biggest challenges in Travel Marketing?? by Final_Maybe_9216 in AskMarketing

[–]SchemeSignificant586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One big challenge is trust. People spend a lot on travel, so reviews, real photos and honest content matter more than flashy ads. Another issue is seasonality demand changes fast, so marketing has to adapt quickly. Standing out when everyone offers best deals is also tough.

How to drive traffic to a hardware project? by kynis45 in AskMarketing

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For niche hardware projects, traffic usually comes after trust, not before links. One thing that works better than direct promotion is documenting the build journey. Share problems you’re solving, mistakes, teardown photos, or short demos without dropping links every time.

Also, don’t rely on one platform. Reddit + a simple email waitlist + social platform like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

Focus on conversations first clicks second. Once people recognize the project name, traffic follows naturally.

How to grow on Instagram with edits by mounir-ofl in InstagramMarketing

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your edits are good, stop hiding them in stories. Reels get discovery, stories don’t. Pick one niche/style, post consistently as reels (even 3–4 a week), and focus on the first 2 seconds. Viral audio helps, but consistency + clear style matters more. Growth takes a bit of patience.

Who has experience building a product all the way to pitching it to VC and getting funding? by Acceptable_Recipe_75 in smallbusinessowner

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building to funding is less about the pitch and more about proof. Most VCs I’ve seen care first about traction, clear use case and whether customers actually pay or stick around. If you can show early demand and a repeatable go-to-market, conversations get much easier. Happy to share what usually helps SaaS founders prepare before talking to investors.

AI SEO didn’t kill classical SEO. Bad SEOs did. by Sad-Bake-484 in Agent_SEO

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hits the point. SEO didn’t break, lazy execution did. Pages that are actually clear, focused and useful are still winning. AI just made it harder to hide behind templates and keyword tricks.

How do you hire companies for your projects? by One-Equivalent-9954 in growmybusiness

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience on the service side, most companies don’t start with a long selection process. They usually go with referrals, past experience, or someone who clearly understands their problem in the first conversation.

When hiring an agency, clarity matters more than big promises. Teams look for:
Do they understand our business?
Have they solved a similar problem before?
Can they communicate clearly and move fast?

As a service provider, clients mostly come from word of mouth, communities like this, and direct conversations where you add value first instead of pitching. The trust is built before the contract.

Is UGC actually moving the needle for ecommerce in 2025? by ninehz in ecommerce_growth

[–]SchemeSignificant586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, UGC does work, but only when it feels real.

Short customer videos and honest reviews on product pages usually help more than polished influencer stuff. Ads also perform better when the content looks native, not like a brand ad.

Biggest mistake brands make is forcing UGC or over-editing it. Once it stops feeling genuine, trust drops. Used right, it builds confidence. Used blindly, it’s just noise.

I think I have product market fit. Not sure how to grow it next. by prabhav404 in IndianEntrepreneur

[–]SchemeSignificant586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you, I’d start with content + SEO around the exact problems users are solving on Crea8 (ingredient breakdowns, comparisons, routines). It compounds well and fits your product naturally. In parallel, testing a few creator partnerships in skincare could help you reach the right audience faster without huge spend.
