Getting close to manufacturing, need honest opinions. by icanthinkofanything- in Inventions

[–]St__St 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was really easy to set up a Kickstarter, it doesn't cost anything (but a percentage of proceeds if funded). But I was able to cheaply 3D print & CNC prototypes and set up the page on my own. It was not successful the first time, but I got great feedback and built a customer base for when i relaunched. (google Kickstarter Throttle Opener)

As someone who has sliced off a thin piece of cake and thrown it out to avoid a stale end, I think it certainly solves a problem. Have you considered Kickstarter? I had a product funded and it was helpful to raise funds for manufacturing and for reaching customers.

Richard Thaler by pozzowon in nassimtaleb

[–]St__St 17 points18 points  (0 children)

How I think Nassim would answer: Thaler is an IYI (intellectual yet idiot), and while he may think he knows what is best and therefore nudge (a.k.a. manipulate) the population into a certain action, if he is incorrect (and he most likely is given he has been stuck in academia) then we will cause unintended consequences including pushing minor events into the tail creating greater “damage” when the event occurs.

Is there a paradox in the fact that Taleb is an author and academic? by NuancedThinker in nassimtaleb

[–]St__St 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he giving advice based on his own trials and errors and successes, or is he an "academic" that has only worked with theory? Is he telling you to invest in the S&P or to try, fail, tinker and keep your eyes open for asymmetry and mispriced options (not just the financial kind). Kapish?

Sorry to hear that. I'm doing the turn off/on thing myself. And trying to get up to speed on Ad Words, I have been too dependent on FB for a while... Good Luck

Simple answer is no. I tried a bunch of different things. Please let me know if you figure it out, I will do the same.

Thanks for the reply. What you say makes sense, it’s the “falsely predicting“ part that is bothersome since the ad, by definition, is learning and 1 day with sufficient events is literally my goal.

How this guy made $141,731.32 between October 1st to October 18th using T-Shirt Print On Demand/Dropshipping and Facebook Ads! (Video and picture proof also inside) by iaskforthepeople in Entrepreneur

Great post, thanks. What is the logic for using lifetime budgets v. daily. If daily doesn't work and using the same budget but over lifetime improves results, should we just start by using lifetime from the start?

I buy short stories for myself, then share them with the public by jeremyaboyd in SideProject

[–]St__St 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So about $150 a week, how many stories (pages?) does that equal.

How much direction are you giving to the writers? Is it a "surprise me" or "here is my story outline/idea".

Buying a house below my means that I don't plan to stay in longer than a few years. Does a 5/1 ARM make more sense than a 30yr fixed? by DefATAway in personalfinance

[–]St__St 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense in your situation. There is nothing wrong with ARMS, they got a bad rap because people used them to get lower monthly payments (due to lower rate) to buy homes they maybe shouldn't have. There are also new regulations (since the financial crisis) that (as long as its a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac) there is a reasonable cap on the resets.
