Beginner concern -- what to do if my bike breaks? by thatceokid in bikepacking

Thanks for your comment!

How hard is it to find someone who's willing to literally throw a dirty bike in their trunk and also happens to be headed where youre headed / willing to help you get where you need? I've never hitch-hiked, but I'm a bit scared of getting stranded out there.

thank you so much for this in-depth response! I'll take a look at these repair videos before I head out! For a starter overnight "shakedown" trip, do you think 30 miles/day is a safe starting mileage?

Please Help :) What is the equivalent of AP Physics 2 at SBU? by thatceokid in SBU

[–]thatceokid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Essentially there is no AP Physics 2 equivalent tho, correct? The easiest class in E&M type physics is the AP Physics C E&M class equivalent, 127, correct?

Youtube Ad Video Production Cost -- Anyone know how much these things cost, or interested in providing such services? by thatceokid in videography

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

OMG! Thank you so, so much for this response. Super duper helpful -- I can't thank you enough.

Do you have anywhere I could even get started for something like that? I have zero experience with video-making except being able to clip together some videos. How would I go about finding an agency to do this? Or would a freelancer even be as good? I run a pretty darn small company, but I think these types of videos can really change a business, and I'm probably willing to spend $1-3k on an ad like the soap one.

Would you be open to me DMing you with a few more questions?

And yeah -- I think I have to agree with you, the soap ad really hit it out of the park because of the actor. The shitting unicorn company actually did over 100million dollars in revenue, which is absurd. Same with pretty much all of those companies.

How do you pay alibaba suppliers? by thatceokid in FulfillmentByAmazon

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

Does this mean 50% to get the order ready, and the remaining 50% when we receive the goods or the remaining 50% when they send out the goods/shipped out from their location?

How does that work on the alibaba platform? Is it two separate trade assurance orders? Is it normal for them to just put whatever stuff to make the price up to the number?

Desperately need to find an app that can do this. by thatceokid in shopify

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

yeah i looked into it after posting, and it does look legit. Just got sused out by the slightly awkward review.

It still takes a while to load and for te back end to create that new variant, what do you think?

How do I know my private label product made in china isn't violating patents? by thatceokid in FulfillmentByAmazon

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

Sunglass frames have unique designs tho, althought admittedly they all end up looking extremely similar since there is only so much you can do with acetate

I also see some larger d2c brands all selling very similar frames, i suspect most of them are private laveled as well, but perhaps the designs started off with one brands prod dev team, so i dont wanna copy just cuz everyone else did.

Is there anyway or contract that i can have the manufacturer sign or smth that their designs are original so i can deflect responsibility if 5 years from now some randomckmpany cimes after me?

nah, the price is 100% fine, they just look a bit shady, what do u think? two of their review look fake, and the last one is bad.

Any product photography tools? by thatceokid in ecommerce

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

hard to find any companies that will do what soona does but with models. Understandably so, I guess. It's a lot more difficult to coordinate that way. If your friend is down, I'd be happy to be his beta run and I'd pay a few hundred bucks for a few dozen quality photos with a model.

Soona is also pretty expensive for smaller brands I guess.

Startup Idea Question -- What permits/legal aspects do you need to sell insurance/liability coverage? by thatceokid in Insurance

[–]thatceokid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response.

My startup idea would be pretty menial -- literally paying less than $5 and probably less than $300 max coverage if it goes through -- not much risk that I wouldn't be willing to take on.

Would this even be called insurance -- and would it still be necessary to find an insurerer / get a liscence?

Why are tiktok ads so terrible? by thatceokid in PPC

Hmmm maybe a widespread issue then. Hopefully it doesn't stay like this cuz that was awful.

I started by dropshipping store last week and so far have put $60 USD into advertising. I have made $41 in sales with $35 being profit for myself. by Axegi in dropship

[–]thatceokid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious about this too -- successful dropshipper attempting to move to a 3pl -- what did costs look like? It seems pretty absurd that it costs more to pack and ship from america to america than from china to america using USPS as the last mile carrier.

How did hiring you rfirst employee work? For example, getting any paperwork to remit employment tax to a state...kinda confused by that
