True. Though being acquired is essentially someone investing in your company by purchasing a majority stake. This investment could soar your company or product to greater heights than you could ever accomplish behind the helm.

how about the many small time, one person delivery outfits that are already bonded and insured? Create a network of these companies and a backend for boxco to connect with.

thinking the paid version would depend on local competition. Pay more to get more if you have a lot of competition. if low competition, they would pay less for the ad. You can determine which truck should pay how much based on geospatial st

Making cheeseburgers and fries is replicable, but I am not going after a piece of mcburger's pie 1st thing tomorrow (well, maybe I am, maybe I'm not). Selling is harder than most code jockeys can manage, so there is low risk. I think what y

It's less about the money and ALL about creating and building and changing. In other words, I don't want to build someone else's Lego set - I want to create my own.

I created a way to make a cheat sheet of any how-to video, then print it. So I created Vidinotes app in Flex. Some people used it for a while, and the paid version ($1.99) per use did well for the amount of traffic. Site is down but a user

Agreed. Further, take the PD out of the equation. There needs to be a grassroots effort. Each new bike purchase should be in tied to register and be active in an online community to police the used bike market and put the swueeze on organiz

It may be that many more children or teens are iPhone or iPad owners who can only install free warez - their Torrance for ads is high I imagine.

I wrote a small tool to convert videos to PDF notes, but it is offline for the meantime. Written in Flex. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-7JCg5fGho Teachers and students mostly use it. Its free.

yes, the UPS truck stopping in front of the house to deliver a package full of floppies full of freeware. That was a 'download'. But more importantly I recall the wonderful years of 92-94 when the internet was really blooming and become a r

I think what he is saying is to be very prudent with the sorts of links you create. In fact, get referrals and vet them out, to qualify a link building person's skills. And of course, as you know, you get what you pay for, even on Fivrr.

I think the price would be based on perceived consumption. Just like a gym membership of $50/month seems reasonable because you would go 3x a week, but in reality it is 1x a week or less.

Just as you learn to code by doing, you would learn to sell by doing, but ideally with a mentor. Now how do you find a skilled salesperson willing to take a sales noob under the wing. They might if any received royalties were waived or grea

The article presented very little factual info other than FB stock price and the latest Wall street social media drama (anecdotal). FB is the envy of any large media company so it's multi billion valuation is spot on.

It sounds like you want to create another social Ad platform and your marketing plan is based on social media and word of mouth (because it will go viral, right?). Sorry, I'm out.
