Hey /biz,
I read a post from a dude working comms in a dangerous part of the world for $200K per year. I assume he was American.
Is there any opportunity for Canadians to make the same cash? I have spent quite a bit of time in Mexico, US and Europe, so I'm okay making adjustments to different cultures and languages.
Anyway, I have checked out dgmark but not sure its legit. Is there any other clearing house type site for serious contract work?

Unfortunately I can't help you with your question, but could you maybe help me out in my thread?

I'm a Canadian looking for real work in mexico with an international management degree. Would be appreciated. Just cultural/life tips would be cool coming from a Canadian who went to Mexico as well. Thanks.
>>1625433
Responded, but with the wrong contact address.
Maybe try me here if you have any ideas.

Nope, I was right the first time:

I always get pissed off when I see this question. The answer is obvious. Post content that is interesting and worthy of attention. It isn't easy - especially considering how painfully boring and one dimensional most people's lives are.
1) post good content
2) follow people in your niche
that's the tl;dr version.
you could of course google this and read paragraphs upon paragraphs of guides.
Assuming you're thinking of Instagram (based on the picture you posted), check out Instagress

I am currently developing a discussion board. Trying to figure out how to get an initial userbase.
I rewrite some articles about a topic (let's say Pokemon Go), post them on my website and spam links through some Facebook groups. People actually go to my site, but leave no comments. So the discussion doesn't even start.
Any tips on how to make people respond?
>>1625156
Show more tits, faggot
>>1625175
I didn't show any yet.
Post comments yourself. Make it look like other people wrote them.
Articles that are hold controversial viewpoints usually guarantee replies.
But I guess my advice depends on what you deem a discussion board. If it's a forum, they're generally very difficult to grow from the ground up.
If it is indeed a forum, i've some some forum owners scrape other forums for topics + comments + users and basically make their forum look active by scraping another forums content.

Yes
No

What are typical interview questions?
What are the pros and cons of working for this company? Will I get food?
>>1625154
Doesn't matter. They already know the type of people they don't even want for such a high turnover position. Just don't smell like weed, cigarettes, or booze, don't talk like a wigger, showcase that you won't be flaky and you're golden. Good luck OP.

any mistakes, or specifically "mistakes that turned/caused good result"?
if pure bad:
I was one of the victims of one of the biggest online scams that ever occured within online marketing communities.
Long story short a guy with a very established and positive track record (how involved within community, how long, various proven successes, lots of high rankers trusted/vouched/even became victims, him etc etc)
he posed a joint venture with an ceiling goal before he stopped accepting - when the goal was finally met he continued accepting more and more people (privately, anyone who would read the offer and get in touch) and avoided publicly saying the goals reached and/or close the offer.
3 months was his "guaranteed return of cost". He was shady through the entire thing, very lacking in contact with investors, and little to no progress or updates were ever given. Lots of people started expressing concern (me included) and began attempts to get back the invested funds but it was too late, and he engineered the plan very well so it was near impossible to get it back anyway.
Eventually he went dark and everyone finally realized this was indeed a scam. Someone that had a long friendship with him prior discovered his actions and posted chat logs between them post-scam, with the friend trying to talk him into giving it back, then scolding him and denouncing him as a friend and joined efforts to undo the situation
well over 10k was lost in total, If I remember right he actually made off with 50-100k usd based on how many people verified publicly they invested and how much. I personally got hit for 300, and sadly my gf of the time joined in with me as her first steps into IM and ended up losing 300 as well.
On the other hand, that gf later left me for another man and due to how she decided to end things, wound up destroying my online empire and emotionally/mentally fucking me up hardcore, so i do owe him a thanks for fucking her over I suppose

This is what I'm worried about with a Kickstarter I'll be launching with a partner in a month or two. It's in the area of consumer electronics and we're putting the retail price at just over 30% margins.
My partner is convinced that we'll make more money overall because more people will order them if the price is lower than if we raise prices to actual reasonable levels. The other thing is that people perceive more expensive things as higher quality, so we may be double-fucking ourselves by making it so accessible (ie "well if it's a high quality product, why are they only selling it for that much?").

>On the other hand, that gf later left me for another man and due to how she decided to end things, wound up destroying my online empire and emotionally/mentally fucking me up hardcore, so i do owe him a thanks for fucking her over I suppose
>your gf breaking up with you destroyed your online empire
The only legitimate reason for that is if you were running a cam site and she was your only camwhore. Otherwise, are you serious?

Hello /biz/,
I have bachelor's degree in international management (graduated less than a year ago), and I speak fluent French & English decent Portuguese and some Spanish (which I could learn very rapidly).
I was thinking of moving to Mexico recently... because well the girl I love is Mexican and moved back there. It's a long story.. but we've been trying to find solutions so we can live in the same place and she won't come here.
So, would a guy like me have a shot at finding decent work in Mexico? I'm good for living in other countries and I've lived in worse shitholes than Mexico (albeit it was tough, not sure if Mexico would burn me out in the long run).
So far the only avenues I can think of is teaching English, Web design from abroad, coding from abroad, joining a large multinational bank, the embassy of my country or paid international interships.
All of these options either pay too little, I have no backround in, or seem inaccessible for a recent graduate like me. I've found an international internship.. this seems to be the only real chance I have. I won't move if I will basically become poor in the process.
What do I do? Is there something I'm missing here? Some other way I could get in or any bits of advice from you guys that could point me in a better direction? Thanks.
Try the internship or the banking/embassy jobs. Also the pay is dogshit here so you better get used to it
Also fuck off we're full

what about mining & tourism?
Do you ever see professional immigrants from 1st world countries working in Mexico?
>>1624684
GOAT sectors. Tourism having an upper hand. Though it depends on which job you might want to look for. I'd say avoid teaching at all costs unless it's a prestige school you're talking about. Especially with a management degree which might be a meme in the West but in Tacoland here is still worthy.
Yeah. Since we were vanquished, we've had an adulation for 1st world foreigners
Has /biz/ heard of the Disney College Program? It is genius. These fuckers basically had a bunch of really shitty jobs no one wanted (ie cleaning shit out of toilets and hotel rooms) so they invented this Disney """internship""" as a """cast member""". College students are now literally applying for the opportunity to get experience cleaning shit out of toilets at Disney Land getting paid minimum wahe after getting a higher education degrees. How in the hell did they pull this shit off?
The Disney dogma is strong.
You gotta get your foot in the door somehow. It's a competitive world out there. And a degree doesn't necessarily mean that you deserve a job.
I've heard rumors that the dorms the interns stay in are basically fuckfests
