Our very small farmers market hustle went organically viral over a month ago.....I lost our old tiktok, how do I grow a tiktok as the one I originally created tiktok customer service was zero help getting me back into it, now the new one I am having a hard time growing, any help is appreciated. The viral wasn't from our business tiktok it was from a customer we sold our product too, she didn't even have a thousand followers at the time. Thanks!

I'm looking for advice on what would be fair in structuring an offer for a junior partner for a dental group I’m creating.

The business has been going great, and l've asked a friend with a background in finance, marketing, and operations to help me scale as we work to build a group.

He's got some financial flexibility so has already come out for a few months on an "internship" basis and has been crushing it. He's fully on board with creating a new entity for future growth (he actually suggested it) so we don't cut into profits from what l've already built. I want to make sure he feels valued and motivated but also want to protect my own equity.

What would be competitive in terms of salary, profit sharing, and equity percentage? I know there are a ton of variables but just trying to even find a ballpark. For reference, we're in a city with a slightly above-average cost of living, and I pay my Office Manager $80k with bonuses to manage my flagship office and soon to be second location.

Hey everyone! I’m testing a business idea and posted similar questions in a few different subs. The responses have been great, but they’re scattered everywhere, and it’s tough to keep track.

For anyone using Reddit for market research, do you have a system for organizing feedback across threads? Any tools or tips would be awesome—thanks!

I worked on a data migration project for a major financial institution and would like to discuss one of the powerful tools they used for data movement

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thanks to the admin for allow my post.

I currently run 2 businesses as a college student. I run a marketing agency and a content agency, both companies bring in revenues that exceed almost $40,000 every month. I've been interested in mentoring people but I'm not exactly sure if I should be doing it?

Also, is it unethical to charge for mentoring? My main goal really isn't to make any money mentoring, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in it. As a young entrepreneur I feel like I have been able to hands one experience and face some of the diffuclties in this process. Does anyone have any advice on, If I should start mentoring or etc? Would also love to know where I should look for people to mentor and how much to charge (if any)?

Would love some advice!

How can I get better in sales as a personal trainer? I not only want to get better at sales because I would like to turn fitness into my full time job but I also want to get better at sales so that I can sell myself better in general. Tips?

I'm looking to source some plastic bottles from China to put my sauces in. Would like to know if anyone has experience with whether they come food safe and cleaned or whether additional cleaning is needed? If so, how do you clean your bottles?

What the title says. I’m going to be in the real estate and restaurant franchise business and was wondering if there’s any books you guys would recommend that you think will help on those topics. Thank you in advance!

Let me start by saying I believe in the potential of anyone, regardless of race or background, to achieve incredible things. This post isn’t about pointing fingers or criticizing anyone. I just want to share my experience and see if any of you have advice on how to handle a particular challenge I’ve encountered.

So, I’ve been running my own business for a few years now, and over that time, I’ve worked with companies across a wide range of industries. I’m talking about everything from painters and concrete companies to high-profile law firms, cannabis businesses, and even a few niche adult shops. The diversity in clients has given me the chance to test and refine different SEO strategies, and some of the most eye-opening results have come from the smoking products/accessories industry.

This industry, in particular, has been a goldmine when everything aligns. One of my recent clients, a smoke shop, saw a 1,150% return on investment within the first year, just from the SEO strategies we put in place. Now, before you write me off as some advertiser, let me say it’s not all me in fact a big part of that success comes from the fact that major players like Amazon and Walmart don’t touch these 18+ products, leaving tons of untapped opportunities out there. Given that traditional advertising platforms like Meta, Google, and even Reddit have pretty strict regulations around paid advertising for smoking products, I figured I had a solid plan: show these companies the results, book a meeting, and close the deal.

But reality had other ideas. Despite having the numbers to back it up, I’ve struggled to get meetings, let alone land clients. I’ve probably been turned down for countless meetings, with many business owners either mentioning they already have someone from their community handling things or just saying, “Thanks, but we’re not interested.” I can own that my sales approach could use work, but a recent conversation with one of my smoke shop clients shed some light on a different angle. He mentioned that in this industry, a lot of partnerships and business decisions are based on trust within specific communities, often connected by family, cultural ties, or shared backgrounds, especially among people from the Middle East who dominate this trade. He even suggested that to make a good first impression, it might be worth hiring someone who understands the culture and speaks the language.

Is there any truth to this? Would it be worth investing in hiring someone from that background to help break down this barrier? I’m genuinely unsure how to navigate this, especially since it doesn’t seem to come up as frequently in other industries. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I live literally in the middle of a giant apartment complex. It takes up about 3 blocks and there are a few scattered houses from people that didn't sell when the apartments were being built, including my house. So our neighborhood is dense with people. There is a truck that drive through here all the time selling produce, snacks and other products and people line up when it gets here. They rather pay high prices this this truck than drive to the market.

I started thinking I could do a similar thing, selling toiletries. Toilet paper, rolls of napkins, toothpaste, soap etc. I could easily order in bulk from Sam's club for delivery, I do it all the time, and store the stuff in my house. My first thought is I don't want people knocking on my door all hours of the day and night asking for stuff, I also don't want non stop cash being handed to me as that could make me an easy target. So I was thinking of building an online store where you pay digitally, i then put your order on my porch and text you that it's ready for pick up. You walk up and grab it. We never have issues with porch pirates and my porche is discrete, so with a few cameras for additional security I could see this working.

I work from home, so I'm here all day anyway. But logistics to the side, my biggest concern is the amount of work it would take to make it worth my while. For example, a Sam's club package of toilet paper would cost me about 24 bucks and has 45 rolls. If I sold each roll individually for 2 bucks, I would get a nice return. But how many would I have to sell to make it worth it? By worth it im talking at least 1k a week. Assuming I sold tp, soap etc and made 5 to 10 dollar profits per sale, I think this would be too much work, so I'm wondering what else could be sold using this same model for a higher return. I like the idea of this model because the customers are right outside my door. I see them daily and I think if I just mentioned the website to 5 to 10 people, then I could easily get hundreds of steady clients. But I would need products with higher returns that are necessities. Necessities is why I thought of toiletries.

Lol, as I'm writing this I'm tempted to just delete because I'm already seeing so many potential issues, the idea literally came to my head and I thought I'd post to grow by thinking outside the box. But since I wrote it, I'll leave it out of curiosity to see what ideas I might hear.

I recently started a digital marketing agency in the UAE, offering the usual services like SEO, social media management, and paid ads. But with so many agencies in the region, I’m wondering how to actually stand out. Is sticking to these basics enough, or is there something more I should be doing to differentiate myself? Any tips on what’s working in this market right now?

Appreciate any thoughts!

Hey there!

So I have a 5 month old and I’m very driven towards creating the life that she deserves. I am planning on starting a health coaching business, but I want to invest in mentorship so I can quickly scale my business. The problem is my husband and I bring in less than $2000 a month and we both have poor credit, so I need to get creative. Any ideas?

Thank you so much!

Hey, apologies if I’m on the wrong sub but I’d like advice. Currently taking a gap year and I have 2 options to peruse, I’d like to be an entrepreneur as I find it my calling, I’ve started a couple of businesses all which have failed but have learned a lot from them and despite the hard work I’ve enjoyed learning as well as reading lots of books on the topic. I have the choice of studying accounting and finance which I believe will give me a skill set and might help me become better at business, but I also have a choice of becoming a union apprentice in a trade, and during the 4 year time I’ll make 250-300 thousand before taxes. If I peruse this apprenticeship I’ll have money to start businesses and more time to fail and improve however if I can’t succeed I’ll be stuck in something which I will not enjoy/help build my business skill set however if I go university I’ll forfeit this money and time I could use to start business however if I fail I’ll be in a career which I can build my skills.

What do you think I should do ? Honest advice appreciated

I have a holding company and a fully owned subsidiary LLC. I am looking to open a sister company that will do the same service as my subsidiary but will have a minority owner and a very specific subgroup of clients (this is required for regulatory purposes). My plan is to have my current employees for business 1 also work for business 2 because we have bandwidth to handle it.

My question is, how do I pay these employees? I don’t want to overcomplicate my payroll unnecessarily but I also don’t want the minority partner to feel like they’re “paying” employees for work at a company they have no ownership over. Any insight here is greatly appreciated.

Hey guys,

I’m a co-founder in a startup that I’m super passionate about. My co-founder is just as dedicated, which is awesome, but we sometimes clash when it comes to our values and approaches to business.

Here’s the deal: I’m the kind of guy who believes in doing whatever it takes to succeed—even if that means being a bit cunning or “strategic” with decisions. I see it as doing what’s necessary in a tough market. My co-founder, on the other hand, has a strong ethical foundation and is all about doing things transparently and not taking advantage of anyone, even if it means a slower path to success.

While I respect their approach, these differences are creating tension. Has anyone dealt with something similar? How do you find common ground or work through situations where your foundational values differ, but you’re both equally passionate about the company? Any tips or frameworks that have worked for you?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

This is my first business. I need a team around me. I wanna choose right. How do I know what qualities in people to look for and any to potentially to avoid.

Marketing effectively means reaching the right audience with less stress and more consistency. Here are a few strategies, each paired with a tool to help you save time and get impactful results:

1. Pinpoint Your Audience with Analytics Tools: Knowing your audience is step one to effective marketing. Tools like Google Analytics provide valuable insights on where your audience is coming from and what content they engage with most. By understanding these details, you can tailor your product messaging and find the platforms where your target customers spend time.
2. Boost Engagement with Quality Content: Posting content that’s both engaging and time-efficient is a big challenge. For an edge, Official-Liora offers ready-to-post viral content tailored to specific niches, which can help you quickly reach more people. With Official-Liora, you get pre-made, high-engagement videos that fit your brand’s niche, along with marketing guides and ad templates. It’s a one-time purchase for lifelong access to these resources—no subscription required—saving you time and making it easy to maintain a consistent presence.
3. Repurpose Content Across Platforms: Maximizing a single piece of content across platforms is a smart way to extend your reach. Tools like Canva allow you to easily adjust your visuals or text for different platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) without creating new content from scratch. By taking one high-quality post and reformatting it, you’re reaching different audiences without putting in extra hours.
4. Automate & Schedule Your Posts: Consistency is key in marketing, but it’s time-consuming to post manually. Buffer is a great scheduling tool that lets you plan posts across various platforms ahead of time. Schedule your posts, view analytics, and even engage with followers from one dashboard, allowing you to focus on more strategic tasks.

Hi Everyone! Anyone with experience with app install ads? Could you give me your top three bits of advice please?

I'm currently studying/working (as an apprenticeship) in Germany, and honestly I hate the thought of working for someone else, it makes me feel trapped, unproductive, and honestly I don't feel like I'm considered an individual when I'm at work. Thing is I can't start a business without my employers permission for the next two years, but I plan to learn to tricks to turn self-employed as fast as I can until then.

That's why I've begun working out how to work for myself, but honestly I don't even know where to start since everything seems so difficult to grasp and at the same time overly risky.

I have quite a lot of skills, since I'm a jack of all trades but a master of none, but I'm not confident enough in any of them to turn it into a business. At the same time I feel like I've built myself a mental block thinking that reaching self sustainability is just impossible, any thoughts how I can get past that?

18M.I live in india(typical joint family) and i feel i have a very toxic environment around me. Parents fighting daily , cocky granny. All of it sucks out the energy. I dont have a personal room or so. Got into a wrong college course. but i think these are all excuses that i am giving to myself. How to stop this and really start working on my business ideas that i want to work upon.

So I have a YouTube shorts account that posts f1 videos, usually 15-ish seconds long but sometimes 30-40 seconds. Right now, I only have 100 subs ( I grew it to that in like a few weeks), and I was wondering if it's possible with that nich to get a sponsorship/ad partnership when I have around 10k subs, maybe?

Deciding to sell a digital property you’ve spent years building is no small feat. If you’re getting serious offers, it’s a sign you’ve built something valuable—but figuring out its true worth can be tricky, especially if you haven’t yet monetized it. Here are a few tips to get a clearer picture:

1. Evaluate Potential Revenue Streams: Even if you haven’t fully monetized, think about what’s possible. Look into common monetization methods for properties like yours—whether ads, partnerships, or subscriptions—to get a rough estimate of revenue potential. This will give you more leverage when negotiating.
2. Check Out Similar Sales: Research recent sales of similar digital assets to get a sense of what buyers are paying in your niche. Marketplaces like Empire Flippers or Flippa can be a great resource for seeing how properties in similar niches or audience sizes are valued.
3. Highlight Your Audience Engagement: For many buyers, a loyal, engaged audience can be more valuable than revenue alone. If your digital property has solid engagement metrics, this could increase its appeal, as it signals strong potential for growth or a loyal customer base.
4. Consider a Broker’s Help: If you're unsure about valuation, consulting a broker experienced in digital properties can be invaluable. They’ll help you present your property’s value professionally and possibly even find buyers you wouldn’t reach on your own.
5. Start with a High-Range Estimate: If you’re naming a price first, start on the higher end of what feels reasonable. This gives you room to negotiate and helps avoid regret if they accept quickly!

If you’re in the early stages of exploring this, feel free to message if you’d like more resources. It can be a daunting process, but you might be surprised by what your hard work is worth!
