I'M STARTING Veeky Forums REVOLUTION. THIS THREAD IS FOR BIZ AND FINANCE. CRYPTO NOT ALLOWED IN THIS THREAD.
Open up the catalog. 99% of this shit is crypto trash.
Are any of you suckers gonna stop getting shilled and actually invest in a BUSINESS?
Option A) risk all your savings at any point Option B) risk no savings and in 5-10 years of hard work retire you and your family
Do you even want control of your life? Let alone freedom/beautiful cars/fancy gadgets/sexy girls (most likely boys for some of you)/stress free debt free? Probably not many of you.. but for the few
Started my own car dealership company massive gains looking into real estate laughing @ coinfags with -70% portofolio
actually made it to lamboland
Lincoln Cook
A cryptocurrency. ICOs are free money rn.
Don't play in the system. BUILD the system
Jace Wood
you can play systems and make $$$... but certain systems have no control
congrats my friend.
currently running a few companies. it's an amazing feeling to read how many are INTENTIONALLY failing instead of getting these sexy rides
Noah Lewis
Taylor let me on the team you fuck I can get some serious fucking cash behind us
Lincoln Ortiz
BTC is the only crypto worth holding anyway..
Ethan Lee
Can't start a business. Too stupid and not driven enough.
Anthony Carter

Buy ETH.
Levi Perry
What are some successful ways you've advertised your services?
I just started a website and logo company and all my cold emails are dead. I'm thinking that walking into stores and businesses is my best bet. I havn't got the cash currently do do fb ads /adwords
Andrew Nelson
Fb ads do wonders for small biz, and freelance work. Cause you know, everyone clicks whatever shit appears on their Fb home, but not everyone dedicates time to pay attention to common ads, like magazines, or big displays. Nowadays is all digital
Nathaniel Mitchell
Is it expensive? I'm literally poor but I can borrow money from my brother if you think I can actually get leads from it.
Charles Watson
>Open up the catalog. Implying people are not by default.
played the crypto game just long enough to pad my savings and get a new laptop. right now I have an iPhone game I developed with microtransactions and such but no way to make it go viral or whatever and I'm working on a gamified receipt service that we have one client for.
soooo, where da money at?
Jose Parker
i'm building something... i can't tell you yet but i'm going to announce it in a week + - and give you faggots a chance to really invest in something
Andrew Richardson
wow invest in a Veeky Forums project.....im fuckin stoked
Landon Scott
what your website faggot
Matthew Gonzalez
it's a serious business and i'm willing to give Veeky Forums the first opportunity to invest before any "serious" investors, better appreciate it could make you good money
Joshua Perry
I'm building a chicken tractor today for exotic chickens & quail that should hatch soon in my incubator. Am I gonna be rich?
Jack Myers
keep >us informed
Camden Baker
>Started my own car dealership company Could I actually have some constructive discussion on Veeky Forums in July of 2017 with you?
My younger brother really wants to start a car dealership company I keep telling him I really think he should because cars are absolutely his raison d'etre and he's got qualifications in car maintenance and repair He wants to but he's got a cushy number in the family business and I don't think he's got any confidence that he won't just throw away cash and fuck his shit up... or any idea of where to start at all really
Have you got anything I can tell him? Any startup tips?
Xavier Thomas
>he's got a cushy number in the family business and I don't think he's got any confidence that he won't just throw away cash and fuck his shit up If his dealership ended up going south, couldn't he just crawl back to the family on hands and knees to get his job back?
John Jones
He could, I'm sure, unless he got into some stupid fucking debt
I think the main problem is a confidence hurdle. He's probably more afraid of being a failure than the failing itself. That and just the unknowns of starting a business with no experience itself.
Gabriel Young
If he's like that, he's doomed from the beginning desu.
Nathaniel Davis
nice safe space SNOWFLAK!!! think u cn hide form the real warold, then spewing you're hate and oinions on the rest of the world. So sick! Shameful! Cowardly! I don't like it...
Leo Richardson
That is a really Nice ass but that shit looks like balls
Tyler Powell
isn't the auto industry on the verge of collapse bc no one is buying.
Justin Collins
Sort of, yeah The auto industry is doing badly because the used car business is doing too well
People who actually have the money to buy new cars aren't anymore because they've realised Chad McManagement buys them factory new then sells top spec cars after a year or two for like 50% of the price
Alexander Foster
not every person can be an entrepreneur business owner. true. especially hard nowadays with idiots pushing this idea that ANYONE can be an entrepreneur. expensive? depends. I've run successful campaigns for my recruiting business that brought in 650 leads a week but although I hired professionals to do so it looks a little like this -learn facebook advertising models that work best -read CA$HVERTISING and learn copy -put them together aimed at your service -target a specific audience
and with that formula I believe we went from 5k to 35k monthly
Matthew Diaz
if you want to make a F*CKload of $$ on apps, you need to get your app viral on facebook. literally trash games with proper marketing (targeting specific Facebook influencers to promote your app for a %) is WILDLY profitable
a good idea with no marketing is a 0-5-figure earner a bad idea with great marketing can easily be 6/7/8 figurer
Henry White
you need to talk to him to find out the real truth.
unknowns and failure ring one specific bell for me - and especially because he is in the family business -
"What if I try this and I fail?"
It usually boils down to what your business family would think of him that is stopping him. Ask him this And If I'm right Then explain the solution as this: It's a win-win. If you fail, you LEARNED A FUCK TON. If you win, you get the accolades the money the bitches
Julian Hughes
I'm not familiar with the industry, I'm just a client. Owned an Audi R8 for past 3 years then an AMG for 2 but I have an anecdote you might appreciate- a really interesting way a buddy of mine just got into the car business is by financing a lamborghini in CA, then renting it for $1200 a day. He has it booked from now until January
Nathaniel Scott
renting it with companies like Turo****
Cooper Anderson
>learn facebook advertising models
I'm researching this atm, but could you elaborate further?
Dominic Jackson
Haha, I like the Lambo idea Insurance and fuel must be a fucking bomb though
I think I'll try the win-win line on him. He's got drive and big fucking hopes but the big fucking insecurity that comes with it, especially when his Dad is a self-made man
Landon Howard
FUCKING THANK YOU FOR THIS THREAD.
I'm in three at the moment.
>social media management >building websites >also working on mobile app/web client that I'd rather not disclose till it's done
I also work landscaping every single day. Not really for the money as I'm only 18 and need to get in shape for college in the fall.
Any other hustles I could get in to? I have just over 1.5k saved now and I'm trying to buy a new car before college in the fall.
Blake Bell
you're already doing more than 99.99999% of Veeky Forums. you're going to make it - keep it up just dont get some bitch pregnant in college.
Adrian Gonzalez
anybody home
Landon Walker
Good call. My stepdad lost his foot in Afghanistan so luckily between that and my own government scholarship(I'd rather not give out, it's hella competitive) and other scholarships they'll be paying me to go there.
The scholarship game is also a great way to make or save a lot of money. Just pull any kind of shit sob story.
Alexander Brooks
When you wake up think about money nothing else , think about the green you're going to earn
Buy second hand cars with SMALL problems and fix em up , sell for 20-30% profit
Just start small and get to know your mechanic that fixes your car for a discount!
Benjamin Hughes
Write a ebook , sell it sell weekly lessons on how to "invest" or make an app charge 20bucks /hr for lessons thats what i do , just tell people motivational shit
Camden Reed
How do I do that without looking the part? I'm a fat teenager who drives a 2000 Camry and comes from a poor family. Only reason I went to private high school was because I had a scholarship.
Would anyone actually take me seriously?
Easton Morgan
That's what i tought when i was a beginner fake it till you make it bro Read free books about investments and motivational books to put you in the right mindset Develop a skill that people want to learn Find a forum and sell lessons via skype , charge 20-30 bucks for weekly 1hr lessons Don't forget , know your shit and don't sound like a fool that's about it!
Jonathan Hernandez
How do you do what? I started my first company at 17 looking/sounding like a 15 year old. the market doesn't give a FUCK what you look like. Can you solve problems and produce results? That is the question.
Mason Cooper
Almost this. Write an ebook on what? Money, women, anxiety/issues Except for $50-100 you can have a professional on fiverr do it. Then you can sell this ebook for $50-300. Easy. People pay a premium for information.
Nolan Lopez
Oh fuck bro you actually replied, thanks
I'm guessing determination is a big thing here. Did you start on
Gavin James
Nice my friend.
How are these 3 doing? If I were you I'd look at just one that you're good at then go ALL IN on that one business. Keep the other two for later when you become successful.
I spent a few years in the Energy game, now I'm currently CEO/co-founder of a construction company and an affiliate marketing company both doing 7-figures
good job so far my friend. one question though. if you want to run a business why are you going to college?
Jose Torres
Not gonna lie , i wanted to give up alot but i pushed through it! It's all a mind game and you just have to keep going man.
Started with +3k-5k tier cars , located outside US
Thomas Garcia
you could go on craigslist and find cars near you that need little fixes to result in high value or are just undervalued. you could start flipping for $400-1000 each. do that a few times a week and suddenly you have enough $ to buy space and scale. then with some capital pursue the dream
Oliver Campbell
+ beware of scammers selling broken cars. Inspect the cars REALLY good , the smallest bit of rust can lead to major problems.
It will take a couple of months to flips cars but you'll make it , trust.
Parker Barnes
im building a 10,000 sq ft building that will placed on the market for 300 per SQ FT. is that exciting enough for you senpai?
Daniel Gomez
Nice just bought 100k
Jace Ramirez
About to start my own tire shop. Just leased a 3 bay shop and going to hire 2 tire installers and an apprentice mechanic to do brakes. I'm competing with alot of big franchise shops tho and I need an edge. I was thinking of renting out tires to customers, which no one else in my area does. Pretty excited.
Asher Foster
Sounds cool, any idea how your gonna advertise? I would put up lawn signs near your competitors

Jaxson Wilson
Have so many ideas but im too pussy to hire a developer to create them for me. Always dreamt of having my own biz. Im a designer wagecuck myself. The ride never ends cos im too scared to lose my earned money i guess :/
Xavier Russell
I'm not making a whole lot. Once I've moved out, it won't be enough to support myself. Cybersecurity is what I'm going for
Nathan Allen
Nice, I have just purchased one hundred thousand units of an unspecified thing, likely cryptocurrency
Ryder Murphy
don't dream. one day you'll be 80 and that "dream" feeling - will turn to regret. spend some time in a retirement home and study their behavior. ask them about their life. a lot of the conversations you'll have will begin with "I WISH" understand that REGRET is the WORST. that might motivate you.
Honestly I might bring some biz people into my next company. I hate seeing so many without any clue and in pain.
Daniel Jenkins
mfw this became a car thread.
You see this is why you faggots are broke. Single minds.
Nicholas Howard
nobody is posting about cars except you..
agreed that focus is aloof but
Are you making $$?
Easton James
the car is just a metaphor
Jonathan Howard
Wow, this thread is refreshing.
>Currently run a commercial photography studio >Freelance web design
Trying to optimize Google Adwords, and working on my Facebook ad campaign, any tips?
Christopher Moore
I like this thread however I'm not building anything yet but I wanted to ask for some ideas because I want to do something I just have no clue where to start
Carter Russell
anyone do notary work? thinking of starting a mobile notary service
Chase Barnes
How to start? There's many ways so I'll just tell you how I did it. I make the commitment to HUSTLE. I went on craigslist and went to garage sales bought anything undervalued (certain vintage antiques, toys, cards, actual vehicles, watches, posters, anything) Then flipping them on ebay for a premium price, making $5-10 per item.
Do this right and you can have an extra 2k per WEEKEND very quickly. You can verify what is worth reselling by going to ebays sold items search and look for the item you're gonna buy. This is the formula I used to make my first 5-figures
Blake Morales
For both of my companies, even starting out I just saved up the money to hire a professional to do these things. If you are computer savy, stay on this course and just really fine tune whatever you are targeting.
Freelance web design can be extremely lucrative. I think I easily cleared 6-figures my first year from freelancing websites.
What is your photography audience? In terms of demographic
Justin Watson
don't do drugs kids. I kind of automatically get into defensive mode when dealing with Veeky Forums.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention so I can work on it
Jonathan Mitchell
Thank you for the reply. I believe the message you want me to take away is to just get started and keep trying different things and if they don't work move on and if they do Hustle hard in it. I will take this to heart. Also thanks for the idea. God-speed user!
Hudson Diaz
the main idea here is to take a step back and gain perspective. what are you good at? can you cook? Can you play an instrument? Are you good at talking to people? All of these can be used in short term to HUSTLE.
Another big thing I wish I learned earlier -- was to find someone in your life, anyone, and ask them if they need help with anything. Then - DO IT FOR FREE. Learning this concept will creates unbelievable karma in the form of humility, connections, and eventually $$$... god-speed
Nathaniel Ross
OP this is good I commend you. Any other book recs apart from CASHVERTISING? Someone recommended robert cialdinis psychology book
Things Im doing right now >Looking for a job- found a marketing job but it starts in august (im an engineering student kek I kinda lied on resume but I actuall know my shit. They even wanted me to advice them on their website) Also applied for tutoring gigs which pay well. >Learning android programming- Expanding on Java which I knew in high school so its a good side project
After I make some money after I get a job, I'mma reinvest some of it into making my own blog
Also what exactly do you mean freelancing websites? Did you code them from scratch?
Noah Young
which country are you based in?
Blake Hill
Hey Millie can you post your email? I've really enjoyed your posts across several threads and I can be of value!
Dylan Ward
I had an idea of buying really cheap, used cars and repairing them then reselling them. I can get a fucked up car for around 400$, repair it for 300-400$ and sell it at 1500$. Thoughts?
Brayden Barnes
Find a job at the scrap yard, they get broken cars all the time that need a minor fix like replacing an easy part. My buddy got $400 for the car to be scrapped and they fixed it and sold it back for $700. I'm pretty sure they just googled the car or knew there was a super minor fix and made $300
Jason Nguyen
Hey I make software wanna team up? I'm willing to take time to get liscenced in real estate
William Rodriguez
Got some good apps will you point me in a good marketing direction?
Carter Murphy
Remember, when looking at a car to flip make sure it has only one problem. Inside, outside, under the hood. You want it to be one of these. Also If you flip too many they will fine you for not having a dealership licence
Cooper Johnson
yeah I'm in Ohio here in the states. I spend half of the year in Puerto Rico --- which I'll be making a thread about too. Insane tax benefits for most guys that do computer type business work.
yes. when you email tell me how you think you can be of value my friend.
I've really been considering starting an actual business with some of the guys here. Not everyone is clueless. It is important to recognize what it real and it seems you have paid attention. looking forward to hearing from you.
Joshua Cooper
Not knowing anything about you, and just reading the way you wrote this - it sounds like your vision needs clarity..
I wouldn't recommend either of those books for you. The first one is a copywriting book. The second is psychology. Neither of which you need. And before I give you marketing/engineering/programming books I think you need to read books that will define your vision first.
I recommend ---
The Millionaire Fastlane by M.J. Demarco and 4-hour work week by Tim Ferriss.
These two books changed my life and dreams.
If neither of these sound interested I think you should read these marketing books
Crush it! by Gary Vaynerchuk Blue Ocean Strategy
I used websites like fiverr/upwork which you can google. I built from scratch on those platforms before I KNEW I could build my own platform (which was not a freelance website).I simply used the current platforms to make some money while I figured out which direction to go.
There's literally thousands of ways to make money on these sites. Remember this one thing. People don't pay for services (think Mcdonalds, or if someone watches your kid)
People pay for TIME. If you always come from this point --- how can I save someone time??
This is the best and easiest way to get rich on your idea. As long as you take action. If you liked what I have said, you can email me it's in the thread and I can probably answer any other questions.
Ryder Clark
I already have people making sites ,managing social media etc.
Justin Rodriguez
Hey, man. Located in Ohio as well. Making a good living in the asset management field right now and looking to get involved in some side projects to hopefully replace my main gig. Been taking a crack at affiliate marketing recently.
Have some specialized knowledge in managing client investment portfolios and sales/marketing experience. I've also worked for a large tech company in biz operations.
I'd really appreciate chatting and getting some advice on things. anonnedrud(at)gmail.com
Julian Hill
sure I'll send it now
Justin Anderson
Good book recommendations here.
But you're acting like crypto is some sort of huge timesink. After putting in the initial research period it should barely take up any of your time, it's just another investment.
Don't tell me you are so focused on your business that you don't invest your extra income into different asset types like stocks/crypto/other businesses etc?
It's all about giving yourself as many chances for success and growth as possible. You need to be careful, you're going to talk one of these people into leaving crypto forever and 10 years from now they are going to shoot themselves in the head for not leaving just a tiny amount of money in one of the coins.
Logan Smith
The problem is that the most crypto's just end up being ICO scams , pump n dumps and total failure
Yes there are coins like Eth who were successful but u cant exclude the thousand other failed scam coins , just analyze graphs and hope for the best
Nicholas Reyes
Finally, entrepreneurialism on Veeky Forums.
planning time right now, highly recommend creating a schedule for you to be as efficient as possible. Also, Gary Vaynerchuk talks a lot about this and it's true, give people value. Give them more than what you expect from them. Lastly vision and legacy > $$$ Shall we create a discord for actual business topics?
Jose Ramirez
Mate, this is flawed. There is so much money and so much growth in crypto that all you have to do is make 1 right move and be patient. No need to stare at charts all day unless you are a daytrader and that's your thing.
For example, for all the garbage shitcoin shilling that goes on here, I bet all someone had to do was buy ETH 1 year ago and just be patient and they would have made 10X more money then they could make doing anything else.
Basically just don't be an idiot. ETH has been around for a long time, if you haven't invested in it before this huge bubble then you have other things to worry about than looking at some meme charts.
Leo Turner
>Shall we create a discord for actual business topics?
I mean we could, but there's not really a need Reason you get better mileage out of crypto discussion in a discord is because when you're anonymous on an imageboard you can hype or fud your own coins of choice for your benefit at user's expense. There's not such real incentive when you're just discussing business topics at large.
Jeremiah Hernandez
Hell yes I'm on board, lets put some moderators together
You guys realize that discord is a honeypot right? Holy fuck are you all highschoolers? Kill me now.
Jaxon Lee
How exactly? Actually curious
Nathaniel Edwards
Look it up on google. Learn how to learn. Thank me later
Daniel Hall
>You guys realize that discord is a honeypot right? Oh shit the FBI will find the coded securities fraud collusion messages hidden in reams of chat about buying kneepads and jacking off over index funds
Did you get here in June?
Dominic Ross
>didn't look it up >decided to argue based on a meme that's not working out so well for you right now.
later.
Nolan Evans
Ok I've looked it up What exactly do you think a honeypot is?
