First time poster on this board. I'm a young adult trying to build credit. I've applied for two credit cards and have been denied both times. How the hell do I build credit before getting a credit card. Could someone explain this stupid system to me?

In the early 1980s, Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado travelled to the mines of Serra Pelada, some 430 kilometers south of the mouth of the Amazon River, where a notorious gold rush was in progress. A few years earlier, a child had found a 6-grams nugget of gold in the banks of a local river, triggering one of the biggest race for gold in modern history. Motivated by the dream of getting rich quickly, tens of thousands of miners descended into the site swarming like ants in the vast open-air pit they had carved into the landscape. Salgado took some of the most haunting pictures of the workers there, highlighting the hazardous conditions in which they worked and the sheer madness and chaos of the operation.

The gold rush of today is happening in virtual servers in the mines of Google, Facebook, Apple & Amazon - where people dig with paid Ads, the placement of links and content. The mine of tomorrow could well be the Oculus Rift (owned by Facebook) - the world of VR.

Does anyone here have their own mine?

I have a success story for you, /biz/.

I had a family of websites, basically the same game with slight alterations, had decent growth over 3 years.

Recently I received an offer to sell these websites to a larger competitor. They offered $120k for me to sell them the user database and shut down my websites, I bargained and ended up on $150k. However, that's not the beauty of it.

The contract says I have to shut down the websites and not create any new websites in the same niche for 2 years. I also can't mass email my userbase. But, and this is the beautiful part, I never mentioned to the buyer that we had been working on an Android/iOS app for the games and should be ready to roll it out within a month.

The reason we are making the app in the first place is because a massive portion of our userbase requested it.

So what I'm going to do is finish the app, roll it out and spend like $10-$15k marketing it, both to existing users through community sites and forums I know they frequent, and to new users through social media etc.

So I am going to end up with about $135k minus tax, a new app, a good portion of my old users, and a good number of new users.

Have I done well, /biz/?

Sup /biz/ long time poster here
so,lately i have been discussing with my mom, the folowing argument:
Real state gives you economical security in the long run,its the best way to spend your money.
the thing is, in my country a $100.000 house, makes around $350 a month by renting(which increments 12.5% every 3 months)
meanwhile im looking foward buy a franchise of supermarkets , which costs around 35000 to own + rent per month(around $1200), and makes around 8300 per month , consider this in my country is a lot of money , the minimum salary is around $400
in the long run, is real state the real answer?

I'm still in college and study cs. I'd like to get into the stock market. I have no idea how to go on about this. What would be the best way to get on about this? Atm I got literally 5euros in my pocket.

A fwb of mine told me that her father does this and makes sick money on the side, like buying stocks for 1cent and selling them for 5euros (she babbled sth about speculation or sth).

Now I know there are sites that show you the trend of buisinesses on the stock market.

Any other founder here burnt out by their job?

I mean, it's been almost 5 years since I started my company, the last 1.5 year I've been completely slacking off. I can't find the motivation anymore, the worst part is that I'm sure the business still has a lot of potential if I really work on it.
I'm actually making money without doing much, I feel almost shameful about it.

I want to get work done but can't get any motivation to apply it on my business. I'm almost envious of people with 9-5 jobs that don't have to ask questions and just get the work done.

Please tell me how much wrong I am, how much the 9-5 slavery sucks and how I'm a fucking coward for not embracing this opportunity.

i'm a bit lost yeah at that time, if any other founder has been through it, I'd welcome any advice.

Business is around mobile apps.

Planning to sell flowers in DC. I'll be on foot and won't "occupy" anywhere. I'll just move and sell flowers. Do I need a license of some sort?

This is a long shot, but does anyone here work for or have experience with a packaging supplier?

I am in the middle of creating a frozen food product and I am trying to figure out a sleek packaging design that will allow the contents to be easily removed without the chance of the product sticking to the inside.

I can obviously go with a poly bag like a Popsicle is contained in, but that is not modern and sleek enough. It is essentially a cylindrical piece of ice measuring 6" long and 2" in diameter. I have been in contact with silicone and glass bottling manufacturers through Alibaba, but I feel the cost may be too great. Plus, if I go with a glass bottle I will definitely need some kind of coating so the product does not freeze to the glass.

I was thinking some kind of thick (maybe 3mil) shrink wrap/vacuum seal poly bag may work but I'm not sure how that process works yet.
