@Papa Pizzagate have you done market research for your potential endeavor? Have an ideal consumer in mind? How do others in your particular industry acquire and retain customers? Feel free to keep it as vague as you need.

2019-01-10 20:20:10 UTC  

@Ryan -NJ I've done a good amount of research, yes. Youre coming to Philly this weekend, right? Let's talk about that as well as that other thing you dmed me about in person

2019-01-10 20:20:48 UTC  

@Papa Pizzagate Sounds good. Looking forward to it.

has anyone here got into trucking as a lease or owner operator? Just got my doubles/triples after a few years non-CDL work and may buy a tractor after a few months as a company driver on a local route.

I'd like to get a second truck and start putting IE members through trucking school here in northwestern Montana. The goal is to be OTR for just three or four days a week. There seems to be no shortage of loads to and from northwestern Montana on load app I'm looking at.

2019-01-13 01:06:15 UTC  

Trucking is in high demand. Great idea. Good luck.

2019-01-13 01:22:55 UTC  

@Logan If you need any help with creating and implementing a startup strategy, let me know.

2019-01-14 02:44:07 UTC  

@Logan trucking sucks for a family man, dude. The only money is over the road, and you only go home once a week

2019-01-14 02:44:15 UTC  

@Ryan -NJ are you a trucker?

2019-01-14 02:46:43 UTC  

@John O - I am not. I have experience in startups and business strategy.

2019-01-14 02:48:31 UTC  

@John O - I was OTR for a year. If you work for yourself and are directly in touch with a broker you can go out for three days and it will pay the bills for the whole week

2019-01-14 02:49:02 UTC  

Right on, dude

2019-01-14 02:49:03 UTC  

If anybody needs help with digital marketing, hit me up.

2019-01-14 02:49:04 UTC  

my current job as a company driver gets me home every night and pays almost 70 a year which is not bad really

2019-01-14 02:49:46 UTC  

Cool. I didn't know you already had experience in it, I thought you were going in blind. Sounds good, man, good luck

2019-01-14 02:52:59 UTC  

$70,000 a year?

2019-01-14 02:53:13 UTC  

lmao you make more than I'm gonna make in computer science @Logan

2019-01-14 02:53:28 UTC  

Truckers rise up

2019-01-14 03:06:02 UTC  

@Jacob yea I was going to wait until you got here but I want to get you in the compound.

2019-01-14 03:06:28 UTC  

be your own boss, start your own company, very cheap rent, be part of a little community, etc

2019-01-14 03:07:14 UTC  

cheapest rent is if you live with us. We are going to buy a house in a few months, possibly with a workshop and a granny flat for IE Kingz to stay in on a semi-permanent basis

2019-01-14 03:10:15 UTC  

that would actually be cool

2019-01-14 03:31:16 UTC  

yep. by the time you graduate we should be in the flow of things. We want to do team runs to CA and back, taking 3 or 4 days so the rest of the time we can just be with family or working on projects like writing and athletics

2019-01-22 02:25:15 UTC  

good evening folks,

I’ve been thinking about getting into freelance translation (English>Russian and vice versa) and I wanted to start in friendly circles. If anyone can point me towards an individual or organization that could use such a service, I’d love to know more.

(reposted from languages channel)

2019-01-22 03:11:11 UTC  

I don’t know much about translation. Is this a service that would be useful to market to multinational corporations with reciprocal agreements?

2019-01-22 05:23:52 UTC  

Richard's ex (kidding kidding)

2019-01-24 22:23:16 UTC  

@Alex Kolchak - NY Call Jared Taylor.

Seriously, I called AmRen 2 years ago to buy tickets and Uncle Jared answered the phone and chatted with me for 5 mins.

Jared Taylor is in the business of translating Japanese>English

2019-01-24 22:24:46 UTC  

@Ryan -NJ
Translating directions for products, labels, and answering emails for small to mid-size foreign companies can make great money.

2019-01-24 22:26:37 UTC  

Someone has to translate the shipping label, navigate the USPS and be able to communicate with customers and suppliers for those Anime shipments. 😉

2019-01-24 22:45:45 UTC  

@Tyler0317 Good suggestions.

2019-02-13 04:15:10 UTC  

@Tyler0317 TY so much on the Grasshopper Rec.

2019-02-13 04:15:23 UTC  

Exactly what I was looking for as a startup. You saved me a ton of money.

2019-02-13 04:15:39 UTC  

Or well, maybe not a *ton*, but a handful for sure!

2019-02-13 04:50:06 UTC  
2019-02-13 04:50:29 UTC  

@Tyler0317 got any tips or coupons for domain registration and hosting?

2019-02-13 04:52:46 UTC  

Sheeeit,
I wish

2019-02-13 04:52:51 UTC  
2019-02-13 04:53:02 UTC  

Yeah that is a pretty low cost thankfully

2019-02-13 04:53:51 UTC  

I paid a guy to set up all the internet side for me.

2019-02-13 06:41:27 UTC  

@Papa Pizzagate with easy DNS I got a domain name for like 10 years for like a hundred bucks. Not even the cheapest. I think GoDaddy is the cheapest

2019-02-13 06:44:19 UTC  

@Papa Pizzagate also if you ever wind up having permanent salaried employees you may want to check out a PEO like Trinet or Justworks to handle benefits and things like that. They basically become a type of co-owner of the company and negotiate with insurance on your behalf. If instead you think you will be a contractor for a while then you may want to checkout The Freelancer's Union just to handle your own insurance and stuff.

2019-02-13 06:45:48 UTC  

Thanks, Chris. I will probably look into the former. I want to grow as quickly and soon as I am able.
