so like 4 years ago I set up a website for a video game and a faceberg page, nothing special but they crosslinked (website now gone), a few weeks ago I reactivate the facebook group and now it's getting likes (367 likes +22 this week)
what should I do with this and can people see it was me who set up the group?

> 365 likes
I can make a YouTube video wiping my ass and get quadruple that
>>1769309
facebook has better reach than youtube I thought?
it has a few more likes now
>>1769337
the only thing you can do with this is the usual Google add cent or sell your products direct, other than that you'll have to wait for someone to contact you and offer you money to park their site there, but 300 visitors is not even a drop in the ocean shit is not even a breeze droplet once you start hitting the 100k visitors then you'll be in to something
So I like listening to biz podcasts casually sometimes, and I used to watch that faggot Martin Shkreli.
He once posed a question along these lines, how can a country/ company keep producing huge amounts of product at increasingly low prices and still be profitable. He never really answered it, and I always thought demand would be the limiting factor. The US seems to work this way. Can someone give me a simple explanation?

How did this dipshit ever get hired as a CEO?
>>1768697
Well no doubt he is a very smart guy, was into finance from 13 years old according to him, Interned at a hedge fund at 16 or so. He's just immature to a ridiculous degree. I blame the system that lets defacto monopolies on drugs exist more than I blame him though.
I was watching him chat very late one night (I think his PR guy makes him stream DESU) and I was a little shocked when he basically admitted the insurance industry is complicit in price rises.
He said he could literally raise the prices as high as he wanted.

>how can a country/ company keep producing huge amounts of product at increasingly low prices and still be profitable
There can be a million different reasons for why it's "still profitable", but just to name one on top of my head - supply chain integration. If you own the entire supply chain for a specific product, you can always undercut everyone else in the world due to them being forced to go through middlemen, while you own the middlemen. That comes at a price tho, you're draining potential profit from your subsidiaries and redirecting it to your head company of the supply chain so it can undercut.
To answer your question, you flood the market with your stuff, get revenue, buy parts of the supply chain, reduce the price while maintaining the relative profit spread (due to manufacturing being cheaper), more people buy more of your stuff due to lower prices, which allows you to buy more of the supply chain and so on until no one can directly compete with you anymore due to you being able to FLOOD the market with absolutely cheap products. Walmart is doing that for an example and has one of the best supply chains, which is probably the key to its success
red pill me on these two.
Hgv mechanic better for when the robot drivers come?
>>1768684
Car mechanics are a dime a dozen. Crappy pay. Same with short haul truck drivers. Ask /o/ about long haul trucking.
No one will need car mechanics, when we habe electric vehicles and autonomous driving. Cars will be maintainable by machines.
Could I use my knowledge on statistics to make profit on markets? what more should I know?
insofar as information can predict the future then yes
>>1768645
You should learn some common sense too. That helps to have.
>>1768658
This is actually the tricky part if you don't have it yet
Biz, drop your knowledge of the DO's and DONT's of being interviewed
+ Any funny interview stories
>>1768639
Not in the /biz/ world but from experience I would try to keep interests 'open'.
I was called to an interview with a think tank in DC. When asked about my interests within the subject they work with, I answered too specifically and they didn't have a project that would suit those interests at the time of the interview.
The interviewer said that usually people will answer with a very general area of interest, which makes it easier for him to assign those applicants to a project.
Another valuable DO is when the interviewer asks if you have any questions, ask what qualities you had that made you competitive, and what could be improved.
>>1768639
Don't say you're enthusiastic, literally 80% people do...
Always answer the questions, if you don't understand ask and try anyway. Having to push candidates for an answer is fucking frustrating, a bad answer (within reason obv) is better than none at all.
Don't criticize your previous employer/coworkers. At best you can point objective points that can be improved
Tips inspired by real events :
- Don't recite the whole website word for word when asked what you know about the company.
- Don't wear a t-shirt with a huge fucking banana on the front at the interview
- Don't say "yo dude"

I shit you not. This is in a small Midwestern town, and the guy talked a mile a minute after about his experience in Wall Street managing hundreds of millions in portfolios, didn't get another work in for the next 45 minutes
What's the best way to do it?
1- Go to France
2- Open a business
>>1768621
The best way is to wait a few months to see who becomes president and judge if future regulations will be worth it or not

Can I hire an actor to subtly approach and attempt to convince a potential client of something. Also what about for interpersonal (non-business)relationships. Does this exist? and what is it called? I'd imagine while this may not be ethical it can be done within breaking any laws. Seriously.
>>1768584
You mean a hooker?
well if I pay a hooker to bang a client and tell him XYZ widgets is the best! that's not so credible. If I pay someone who says they're a businessman to approach him in a hotel lobby have some drinks and then say he used our company and we're great and deliver a good product that has more credibility. Also if I want my gf to stop talking to an ex and hire a girl to befriend her and tell her eww he's a creep a hooker won't work.

Having a powerful currency is bad for your econo-
Being a tax haven is bad for your econo-
>>1768581
having a strong currency leads to weaker trade balance, as foreign countries will buy less of your exports, because they can produce it cheaper.
The weaker our currency, the more we export. The more we export, the smaller our trade balance deficit. Simple international finance really.

Which is why China kept the RMB pegged to the USD for so long and it worked...
My country doesn't have a lot of succesful or big e-sports organisations and the market is booming. CSGO (counterstrike) just had a Major (that also aired on American TV) with over 1milion viewers. It broke Twitch records.
With prize pools going over 1 million dollars, the idea of esports being a fad and bullshit is just wrong and not of this time anymore. It's here to stay and it will only get bigger.
I've been giving it a lot of thought and I truly believe that such an organisation can be started with the low amount of 150k EUR (a years salary for 5 players + couch included). After the first year I think an organisation in esports would become self sufficient because of prize pools and sponsorships.
Does anyone have any input regarding this? Am I overlooking anything?
I'm going to start up a draft to talk to investors but to be honest, 150K is peanuts for the amount of exposure your org will get by being associated with an esport.
Half the viewers are bots farming drops. Also, the business model still relies mostly on ad income.
>>1768542
You need a lot of connections to boot, plus don't chase gains in industry. Is there room for growth? Yes. But probably not feasible to get into CS:Go/LOL at this point. Trust fund kiddies in China drive up player salaries too much for you to find entry into the market.
Look at other games that are growing quickly, have potential for longetivity, and you have an advantage in. Hots & Overwatch you're already late to the party, the big boys are in.
Wait for the next game...
>>1768550
The argument that half the viewers are bots isn't something I believe. If you look at the stats you can see that viewership always increases by the end of a map or final map, or when it is more popular teams. I've seen an internet analyst deduct that maybe 100-150k of the 1 million viewers of last tournament were in fact, bots for drops.
Ad income is a viable way to sustain a business. The idea is to get 5 players that are still young/unknown but deserve a chance. They don't need nor deserve big salaries yet. I'm talking about starts that are 18-19 years old and get amazing ratings and have good game sense, but want to stick around in uni because arguably that is still their best bet. An organisation structured around the younger players giving them a chance to shine but also help organize a useful schedule to play/compete/study
>>1768551
While I understand where you are getting at, I don't necessarily think that is the case for existing games. A new org can take a chance and get young players and help them, guide them and let them compete. There is a lot of untapped talent still out there.
Thought I could make it big in trading so I quit my stable job 2 years ago and become a full time day / swing trader with $100,000 starting capital I saved up over the years.
Today my account officially went to 0....
I should have cashed out my $20,000 profit last year once Trump won as it was the best I could do, but I got greedy and just kept my positions open.
What do now /biz/? I doubt I can get my old job back with a 2 year gap in my CV doing this shit.

Haha, how big we're your positions?

im glad this happened to you. you deserve this be in this position for being stupid.
How can banks and other institutions afford to give out loans at really low rates?
where I have my portfolio they'd give me up to 50k loan at 0.99% interest just based on the stocks and other stuff I own (not even that much). In what universe is this ever a good deal for them?
This is in Finland.
>>1768533
They have low inflation in Finland. Hard to find places to put their money. You are probably very financially stable. They will margin call you before they lose too much, if anything.
>>1768533
Because they're getting that 50k basically for free. When is the last time you received any significant interest on bank deposits?
>>1768533
The interest rate you receive from the banks is determined by the interest rate the central bank sets, the central bank lends money to regular banks so there is a flow on effect. It's all decided by the board in change of monetary policy at the central bank

Wouldn't this mean, technically, you are selling illegal copies of software to people?
Wouldn't this mean, realistically, you are going to end up in prison for the rest of your life?
The DMCA is a scary thing and I would recommend to just stick to shitposting on 4chan and masturbating.
It's worked well for me so far
>>1768297
The issue is more and more people are learning how to just pirate shit every day. I would try to stick to a day job. Too many people that can do what you are trying to do better.
