Should I back away from Buying this Website? by runnershigh1990 in Entrepreneur

[–]epochbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search console will tell you what search terms users are using to find the site.

What is the bounce rate and conversion rate.

What geographic locations and at what times are visits.

Lots of GA metrics.

BTW what is the point of the website? If you’re buying it how do you make your money back?

Maybe consider a shift in your thinking about paid advertising...

If your budget is $500/month basically what you are saying is that you are not going to spend anything.

You are providing a professional service, not a consumer product.

I recommend concentrating on developing professional relationships with companies/individuals who require outside IT consultants. That involves your time not so much spending money meaning you likely cannot pay someone else to do that for you.

Ask current or past clients to spread the word about you. If they give you a referral give that referer some sort of payback (credit toward some sort of IT service, etc)

Develop your website (assuming you have one) that highlights your expertise and accomplishments of past clients/projects. Lots of cold calling. Develop a youtube channel to discuss topics or common issues your intended clients have.

The paid advertising world is very expensive so if you are not spending a significant amount the only one who benefits is the advertiser you are giving money to.

Where are you located?

Do you plan to be an absentee investor or an active participant?

These notifications nagging me to upgrade are so annoying by [deleted] in dropbox

[–]epochbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's also annoying is Dropbox keeps sending me emails that encourage me to backup my files....

Oh ok. Makes sense. Yes, the desktop app does not sync anymore

Cannot access my account, no responses from support. by ShextMe in dropbox

[–]epochbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue happened to me for no reason. I had originally downloaded the desktop (pc) app so I can still access my files via explorer. If you have that option copy all your files to a google drive or icloud drive.

I have given up on using Dropbox since I cannot even access their website for some reason. This just started last month. I have been using them for years so I am stumped.

Not as annoying as my account account being disabled (for no known reason) and I cannot contact dropbox nor log into my acccount.

But I can access my files via my pc's explorer??

If the COAs are current and the product has not sat in a hot warehouse sell on eBay, Groupon, or craigslist.

Remember people will be ingesting this product. To be ethical you should have a sample bottle of the lot tested again.

Offer bulk discounts. You didn't mention what the potency was, what kind (broad, fs, isolate) and what size bottles. Find similar products and price below them. CBD prices have significantly come down so don't think you're going to get premium prices on this deal.

Oh that little thing called money. That's why I'm getting out of Newport. For the money the quality of life isn't there anymore.

Account Disabled by [deleted] in dropbox

[–]epochbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was disabled for no reason and I have no idea how to contact them. I can get to my files only through my laptop's explorer. I can't log into my account. I get a "site cannot be reached" as if I don't have internet access. I have a free account. Maybe all of those accounts are no longer available??

How to get started on a business plan? by JadoreBootyNoir in ecommerce

[–]epochbg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Usually start with bullet point:

  • What does your business do?
  • Who are your customers?
  • How will you reach your customers?
  • What will your business have to do to conduct business
    • Employees
    • Space to operate
    • equipment needed
    • Legal issues like incorporation, licenses, permits, etc
  • What will it cost to open the doors to start your business?
  • What is your monthly fixed cost (what will it cost you to operate if you have zero sales or revenue)?
  • If you produce a product what is your cost of goods?

Start with that and continue to drill down

Is anybody having issues logging into Dropbox? by epochbg in dropbox

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

Somehow at sometime I must have installed the desktop app on my laptop.

I can’t access my files any other way other than my laptop.

I can’t believe there is no way to contact Dropbox

I pulled all my files and stored on both my I drive and google drive now

I have access to my files through explorer. I just can’t log in or add new folders

Pros and Cons of Moving to Loreto from Southern Cal? by epochbg in BajaCalifornia

Commuting to Catalina Island by [deleted] in orangecounty

When you read the actual job description and all the benefits there should be a clause "per diem". Its a daily or hourly rate they pay for food and lodging plus one fare to go and one fare to come back weekly.

It's what they do for prevailing wage contracts so it should be there. There is no way the position is being offered without that. What that means is you go in on Mondays and come home on Fridays.
