>free stock trading

Do I have to pay the other sites to trade or what?
Buy VOO
Trading is retarded
For those of you with experience with starting a business, where did you get your ideas? I've always thought you needed to be some genius inventor to start a business with a revolutionary idea.
Just look at your daily activities or activities other people do and see how you can make something better, improve upon it or more efficient
That's how uber, gopro, airbnb seem to have been made
You have to be irritated by stuff and a DIY guy.
I always look at how a service sucks and what I would do to make it better.
I develop websites so I know what is practical and what's not.
If you can't dev then you need money. I tried selling ideas to Colgate and they just stole one because I didnt have the 3 grand for a patent.
I really think being a good idea guy is being able to sit on your idea for a few months to see if it's still a good idea.

Business are easy. Basically what it boils down to is selling goods or services. There are 5 basic ways to have a successful business.
>1.You have goods or services that other people want that nobody else sells (new invention/idea).
>2. You have goods or services that other people want that other people sell but you offer it cheaper or better (undercutting the market).
>3. You have goods or services that other people want...

Whats a realistic way to get 10% on your investments year in year out?
I've seen realistic 7% returns (mix of dividend and selling call options)
Can you name a way to top the 7% return which isn't high risk?
>>1169243
There are none. 10% will always be associated with high risk investments.
You can do P2P Lending, but the taxes kill the returns.
RE notes get around ten to twelve percent
I'll look up the taxes for P2P lending in my country, good idea. thanks
What are RE notes?
Alright /biz/, I need to get a stable job/income from doing shit on the internet before College ends so I can be left the fuck alone.
I currently have a YouTube account with 200 subscribers but I hardly make 2,000 viewers a month, which leads to barely $0.20 a month. Should I work my ass off and push even more videos to try to get more viewers? Should I shill my videos nonstop on sites where retards would watch them, like Reddit or Facebook?
I also have decent programmer abilities, and I could make games with ads on them but without the proper marketing they would just flop. I can also make animations/draw but I'm way too retarded to come up with good ideas.
What do you do to live off the internet?
Bumping for interest.
Maybe some shit on fiverr or stuff like that?

I'd prefer to work on my own stuff if possible.

...ok
I find it funny how every year they talk about how some movie set a record at the box office
it's not really impressive when it's due to inflation
>>1169112
Star Wars is still the 3rd highest grossing film even adjusting for inflation. Titanic and Avatar are also up there. The infrastructure for movie sales is just a lot more developed than even 30 years ago. It's still interesting that the highest grossing movie of all time (inflation adjusted) is Gone with the Wind, though.
But... what does this all have to do with business and finance? What's the angle here?
What is the income I should aim for? I am a 22 yr old male, I plan to live with gf, and travel have some money set aside for travel. I do not want a family. I come from an affluent area and I will soon have my associates degree. I'm white.
>>1169041
More.
>>1169041
I make 300k straight out of college, and can barely get by. You should definitely aim for at least 500k.
>>1169051
this
500k will cut you out for the basics, if you want a little spare cash aim for around 750-875k
How smart would it be to try and get into the video games industry?
It seems like it's absolutely fucked by feminists and SJWs
the problem isn't sjws it's that too many people are in it now because it's simplified by shit like unity
I hear that over 500 new games hit the app stores every day. hard to make it as a small time dev in that environment
if you're thinking of working for a bigger company they'll treat you like shit because everyone wants to work in vidya
>>1169010
I'd say its a good idea if you're not involved in it for the wrong reasons and are beyond that neckbeard gap.
Its a billion dollar industry, and you have loads of platforms and various engines to fall back onto creation and development. Assuming you want to make and sell your own games, it can be a pretty spiffy return if you succeed. However, the market is saturated with non cooperate games and it can be hard to make something stand out. Undertale, which was made in arguably the worst engine I've...

Thanks for the response bro, do you have experience in the industry?
If I go into it I'd try to avoid the neckbeard fantasy shit

Hey /biz/, I have about 25k that I can freely use how I want. It was always a dream of mine, and partially I always thought it would be a goldmine if I opened an arcade in Queens, NY. There are NO MORE arcades in this borough, and Forest Hills/Flushing would be prime and have people flocking to it.
The only reason arcades keep dying is because of the ludicrous prices. Who wants to pay a fucking dollar per life? I'm thinking of following the business strategy of Modern Pinball. For those that don't know:

Why is talking about money taboo?
Because it clearly establishes one persons superiority to another in objective terms.
Only poorfags talk about money.

It's a power thing. Just like in Poker, much of your power position depends upon what your opposite _thinks_ you have. If he exactly knows your stats, you become predictable, even if you have more than him. And when you're predictable, you can be defeated.

How bad is off shoring for IT security or security science? I did a bachelor's in interactive media a grad doploma but I have only found shortest periods of work from a to 3 months in length. Add compete to on from cheap as fuck Indian freelancers the industry just sucks. I'm looking into IT security as a different area of IT I could work in. I plan to do another grad diploma of course.
Don't expect to make any money. Pajeet can work for $4 per hour. I made the mistake of becoming a programmer and wish I did something else with my time. HTH.

So even IT forensics/security is fucked?

Anything that can be bought, sold or transferred elsewhere is being outsourced these days. Right now I'm running down my contract at an IT company and plan on going back to school in September. Believe me, it isn't worth it.
