Its like this:

  1. Someone wants to sell things e.g fasteners
  2. Gives me full control to run things alone, I earn as long as I make it work.
  3. Rule out employees since they can only come if profits start to roll in.

Its as SGS said, bogus self-employement :rofl: .

Anyway marketing seems tough.
My strategy so far,

  1. Cold calling random people i see on the internet.

First, learn how to avoid work in your job.
Second, learn how to interpret tax laws creatively.
Third, develop an AI-blockchain-cloud-app, and investors will shower you with money.
Fourth, buy an island and enjoy your retirement. :sweat_smile:

Actually I am surprised you didn’t start to call your “fasteners” as “next-generation fasteners”. This is another keyword that self inflates and generates revenue :smiley:

Anyway you are being very cryptic (understandable) about that business of yours. I have a feeling you started to sell windows licenses or laptops with windows of them?!

But jokes aside, all it comes to is what is the market demand and how you can sell yourself. Having a good product is worthless if you can not sell yourself to be the vendor for that product.

Sorry for being cryptic, next-generation fasteners sounds cool.

On that note, I also learned something cool. Shady but cool.

There are some companies, that hack “wordpress websites”, in order to gain entry to google merchant. I don’t know how.

After accessing your google merchant, they advertise products based of your account , without you ever knowing.
Cool ? right?

This kinda looks sophisticated just to sell a pair of jeans right?

Cold call is forbidden in Germany :smiley:

See I already made you believe I am the right person to sell you the “fasteners”

I am not in sales, I work with technology. But thru the years I heard so many sales pitches, garbage inflated bubble marketing buzz words, that I became bit skeptic.

Everything I learn about germany makes the UK look soft. Learned that germany was among the last to adopt google street view just because of the laws.

I consider y’all family. Its just starting so I will let you know………

Somethings I have learnt so far

  1. As much as we hate facebook it really does generate a lot of traffic
  2. As much as you hate spam, you now have to be the spammer - it does generate a lot of traffic.

When I learn to convert this into actual buyers. I will let you all know :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

In short this is a pyramid scheme :smiley:
I,m guessing you only get paid on what you sell, win win for the supplier.
Your time could be better spent

:joy: No , not like that. I convinced someone I could run an online store for her business. So she invested in the store and asked me to run it. Turns out just having a store doesn’t mean people will buy. & the person I convinced is losing hope/interest as buyers don’t show up.

Calculating taxes and shipping might end years of my life though. Thanks

Yes, marketing now more than ever is pretty much a synonym for making a deal with the devil. It’s possible to build a customer list purely based on consent, and maintain a steady stream of buyers through promotion emails. But that takes a lot more time and effort than plopping an ad on fb…

Random mussing. New minimum temperatures after today’s update. I’ve noticed, over this year, that my cpu idle temp had been climbing (49 C originally, gradually rose to 54 C), looking at the thermometer on the mother board. I was planing to re-apply cpu paste eventually. It’s now stably idling at 49 C (haven’t seen that for months). I’m assuming (dangerous contemplating), that some AMD kernel changes have kicked in.
