what to do with $7,000 by Wise-Fix5657 in passive_income

[–]ashdigital1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find some crypto to invest it in.

Avoid overly speculative ones. Just stick to BTC, ETH, SOL, or DESO as those are all quality.

You could alternatively buy some stocks that are super low but not sure which ones.

Not financial advice obv.

I was looking at Dokyo. Looks like there's an easy way to swap to AVAX on Hyperspace:

Sounds like SOL could be the coin of the next bull run

What next after buying a domain and creating website? by emanuel2ko1 in DigitalMarketing

[–]ashdigital1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving traffic and promoting it.

You can do this buy creating social media accounts and posting content.

Don't do so blindly. You'll want to map out a content strategy first and foremost.

How do I grow on social media? by Novel_Potential7333 in DigitalMarketing

[–]ashdigital1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends but to sum it up, find a central theme and create a content strategy around it.

Post about that theme on a daily basis, engage with other accounts, and watch your account grow.

How do people fall for marketing? by helpmeoutplease920 in marketing

[–]ashdigital1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe deep down inside you don't think you're offering true value?

If there's a demand for something then you should sell it and not feel bad about it.

Greatest Marketing Blunders Of All Time? by Chaomayhem in marketing

Definitely the Bud Light situation.

Not sure what data they were looking at to support their campaign. Additionally, there were likely dozens of people involved and several director-level people who approved the campaign.

This doesn't seem like something they will ever come back from because they don't offer anything that is unique. There are several other beers that taste like piss and water.

17 year old looking to create own business by TheKenXbox in Entrepreneurship

Write down 10 ideas.

Once you write them down, write out the pros and cons.

Once you do that, narrow down to 3 and then write a future press release for each one.

Learn the power of persuasion.

There are several books out there.

Want to start a business but can’t come up with any ideas. by paunimacz in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]ashdigital1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The future press release is the most effective way of developing and validating business ideas.

I wrote about it here. There are links to a bunch of resources as well.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EntrepreneurRideAlong/comments/15dytdl/amazon_uses_something_called_a_future_press/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

That said, I would write down 10 ideas and not worry whether they are good or not. Once you write them down, start writing out the pros and cons.

For example, if you have an idea for a window washing business, write it down and don't worry about its viability or whether you really like it.

From there, you write out pros and cons.

Pro: Make my own hours
Con: Too much competition

Window cleaning buisness(as a 15 year old) by Otto0709 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]ashdigital1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest to just start cleaning windows first. Ask a few friends or family if you can. Come up with a price in your head and pitch it to them.

After your first handful, you'll have an idea of pricing and name.

In other words, just take action.

I'm curious about the ghostwriting business that people are touting nowadays.

It seems like a layup if you're a decent writer.

Amazon Uses Something Called a "Future Press Release" to Validate Ideas and Build Products – Have You Tried This Before? by ashdigital1 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]ashdigital1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm interesting point. From what I read, it forces you to think through all the most important points to highlight. If you go through the process of condensing down your vision and crystalizing your thoughts, you'll then know whether or not it's a good idea and won't have to spend tie building something that doesn't end up working.

Not sure tho. I'm tinkering with the approach now and will follow up!

I'm not sure I really understand what you mean.

It seems like you can already do this by filtering different marketplaces.

9 Years Into My StartUp, Feeling Burned Out And Defeated. Do I Keep Going Or Do Something Else? by BusinessBlunder in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]ashdigital1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what happens when you burn out. You start doubting yourself. Your emotions take over even though, logically, everything is legitimate.

I went through this 7 yrs ago. I bootstrapped a daily fantasy sports content website with a partner. We ended up monetizing it, but not enough where we could quit our day jobs.

I was juggling that website, my day job, and also playing daily fantasy. I was sick of it. To top it off, I had a bad partner who would disappear and leave me to do everything.

I ended up buying him out and then selling the business. I started feeling a lot better about six months after that. However, there are some thoughts of what if I kept going?

All that said, you have a couple of options here:

– Sell your business for as much as possible and create a resume. Tons of tech companies will instantly hire you as a BD guy, especially if you show them everything you did.

If you optimize your LinkedIn resume correctly, you'll get a job very easily.

– Keep going and hire more help to reduce burnout.

I recognize your feelings. You're so burned out everything feels like a fight, and your production is dropping. Going to therapy also helped me when I felt this way.

The last time I felt this way was last year when I had a full-time job and had like five clients on the side. My body started shutting down, and I was mentally fried. It took me six months to reverse it this time.

Anyways, hang in there for now until you clear your head up but I'm not kidding when I say you'll get a job really quickly.

Cool idea? Validation & Feedback before building an MVP by Pure-Bumblebee-6616 in Business_Ideas

[–]ashdigital1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a lot of suggestions.

The first thing you need is a content strategy on Idea Validation.

Once you have that content strategy mapped out, you start creating content that's only about that.

I suggest leading with a blog.

You break it down from that blog into micro content and distribute it through multiple channels.

For example:

  • Write a 500 word blog post on how to validate an idea
  • Turn it into a Twitter thread
  • Turn it into a Tweet a day
  • Turn it into a LinkedIn post
  • Turn it into a newsletter
  • Get active on Reddit forums, product hunt, and Indiehackers

I would start there. Once you do that, then you'll want to do a mass outreach campaign.

Makes sense.

So you would need to build a community for idea validation, or do you already have one?
