I guess in this last year I've really learned a lot more about what a product is and how to make/market/sell it

yeah

for sure

it's a frame of thinking

currently the quickest/smartest way to do it that I've found is selling chinese plastic to people from amazon, but if that works out and gets me out of the rat race I'll work on more fun projects like this

what are you selling? what's involved in maintaining an amazon store?

I would consider selling your time in general to people instead of predone advice and just shilling Paypal donations or some other kind of e-welfare.

Imagine a talk show.

Maybe.

ultimately you want to develop a brand that's effective across multiple revenue streams

UOC I haven't yet done product research to ID the product

that's done more or less mathematically, not by starting with a "cool idea"

sure

i just didn't know if you were already selling units or were still in the planning phase

you should sell those fucking fidget cubes or whatever

oh man do you remember those keychains that were a cow or a pig that you squeeze and the brown rubbery insides bulged out of the hole in the ass to make it look like poop?

I bet someone made so much fucking money from those...

fidget spergers?

yeah dude

I'm busting my ass to be a doc and somebody probably called a bunch of chinese and made them make ten million pooping cow keychains

yeah

then while they are yelling at their impoverished workers over the cows not pooping correctly due to some problem, the other guy is getting rich

probably made 50 cents a piece on ten million pieces of landfill bait

I'm engaging on this cuz I'm interested for a lot of the same reasons you are and we're in similar positions. I can see that being a lawyer forever presents few benefits and a lot of fucking dead ends and stupid work

Have you ever read "Confessions of a Public Defender" @UOC?

No

what sort of lolyer are you

I help get green energy projects built in the US

oh neat

so you're already done and practicing?

I've been in practice about a year.

today I am in a special kind of misery that makes me more receptive to cooperation

I'm even trying to avoid using the condescending slang terms I have for everyone and everything

haha why's that

just some life stuff

word

are you familiar with the Red Queen's Race concept?

NOD recruits

vaguely
