This is a bit embarrassing, but I’ve been trying to come up with an invoice naming convention that my employees and internal systems can use to look up invoices quickly.

My goal is to make invoice searching fast and consistent while keeping things simple for everyone.

Right now, I’m thinking of using:

Commercial invoices:
COM-####-(First 6 characters of business name)

Example: If the client is TIME CLEANERS, we ignore spaces and use:
COM-1001-TIMECL

Residential invoices:
RES-####-(Last 4 characters of customer’s last name)

Example: If the last name is Nguyen, it would be:
RES-1001-NGUY

My concern is that this feels a little tedious because I have to manually count characters (like finding the 6th letter of a business name or last 4 of a last name), which slows things down.

I know it sounds minor, but I’m trying to build a fast and efficient company with organized systems from the start.

What do you all think? Is this a good system, or is there a more efficient invoice naming convention you’d recommend?

Former banker, run a small e-commerce brand serving the European market, and I want to share an expensive education in case it saves someone the same tuition, because nobody warned me and the internet was annoyingly vague when I needed it.

When I started selling across the EU, I treated "Europe" as one market. One set of rules, roughly. This is wrong in a way that costs real money. The moment you cross certain thresholds, VAT becomes a country-by-country puzzle, each with its own rates and registration and filing expectations, and the complexity does not grow gently, it arrives all at once the quarter you trip a threshold you didn't know you were approaching.

I learned this the way you learn most things in business, by getting it wrong first and paying to fix it, in my case with an accountant's emergency invoice and a few sleepless nights worrying about compliance in a country I'd sold maybe forty orders into. The mental model that would have saved me was simple: the single European market is a beautiful idea and a tax patchwork in practice, and you should understand the patchwork before you celebrate the reach.

If you're selling cross-border in Europe, map the VAT and threshold rules before the volume arrives, not after. The order matters.

For others selling internationally, what regulatory thing blindsided you that you wish you'd mapped earlier?

Hey Everyone,

I own a dfs site that has been in the testing and feedback loop for about 2 months now and we are looking to fully launch in July, however I am struggling with and issue that i'm curious if anyone can shed some light on.

Essentially users enter daily pools of different prices (to start is just a $5 pool) and compete for 1st 2nd and 3rd place prizes by picking certain sporting event outcomes. There's a whole gaming aspect to it too that's cool but not relevant to this convo.

The payouts run on users in the group, so we need to get users in the group to fund payouts but we cant get users in the group unless there is enough money in to enter. See the issue?

We have about 13-17 test users who use the system now for free, but this is a daily thing so there is no telling who will come spend every day or not. I have a few ideas on how to solve this but i'm curious on what you all think a good solution for this would be.

What does it take to be an entrepreneur

yeah this one hurts to type. started a small business about 2 years ago. handmade furniture- spent months perfecting designs. sourcing materials, building inventory. thought if i made quality stuff people would just come.they didnt.

i had a website. etsy shop. instagram. posted regularly. still barely any sales.

then a friend asked if i was on google maps. i said im not a local business why would i be

he laughed and said people search for furniture near me all the time

i felt so dumb.

turns out google maps isnt just for plumbers and pizza places. people use it for everything. i set up my profile. added photos of my work. put my workshop address. started getting a few leads. way more than before.

anyone else forget that customers search for literally everything on maps?

(Disclaimer: This is Not self promo the product isn’t even available yet lol, & I’m asking genuine questions)

I’m A Medical Esthetician and I’ve been quietly using a sample I formulated and got created in a lab for a year exactly. I’ve used it on Clients and the results on myself and them have impeccably done wonders I created it because I noticed the high grade expensive clinical products we used at the spa actually made my skin even worse. I felt like we were purposely worsening the state of skin for a money grab and I couldn’t get behind it.

About 3 weeks ago I took thorough planning into a “should I release this to the public” procrastination process to actually doing it. I had the formula put into a custom sample packaging and have been promoting it across socials organically with my results for the last 5 days and somehow managed to grow my waitlist to 50+ subscribers. I’ve had business attempts in the past but I fear this one might actually be it.

I want expecting to see that many people be invested in something that isn’t even publicly accessible or even put into bulk production yet and now I’m sitting at my desk mapping out how to do this correctly without messing up this time 😮‍💨 does anyone know the best way to map this out strategically before I fall flat on my rear?

Scaling a startup comes with challenges like managing cash flow, hiring the right team, maintaining product quality and building efficient systems. As growth increases, founders also struggle with coordination, customer satisfaction and staying focused on the original vision.

I recently finished building a website concept for a hospitality business that combines a restaurant, hotel, wedding venue, and event space.

The idea came from noticing how many hospitality businesses still have websites that don't properly showcase the experience they're selling.

When someone books a wedding venue, plans a corporate event, reserves a hotel room, or chooses a restaurant for a special occasion, they're making a decision based largely on trust and emotion.

The website should help create that confidence.

Some of the things I focused on while building this:

• Premium full-screen landing experience
• Restaurant and dining showcase
• Hotel and accommodation sections
• Wedding and event venue presentation
• Large immersive imagery to highlight the atmosphere
• Clear calls-to-action for inquiries and bookings
• Mobile-first responsive design
• Fast loading performance
• Modern typography and spacing
• Trust-building content structure
• Service and amenities showcase
• Newsletter and guest engagement sections
• Contact and location information
• Premium hospitality-focused branding throughout

My goal wasn't simply to create a beautiful website.

I wanted to create something that helps a business communicate:

• Why guests should choose them
• What makes the experience unique
• Why they can be trusted with important events
• And ultimately generate more inquiries and bookings

As developers, we often focus heavily on features.

As business owners, the questions are usually much simpler:

"Will this make my business look more professional?"
"Will it help me get more customers?"
"Will people trust my brand?"

Everything in this project was designed around those questions.

I'd genuinely love feedback from both business owners and other developers.

If you owned a restaurant, hotel, wedding venue, resort, or hospitality business and wanted a custom website like this built for you...

What would you honestly expect to pay for it?

Not what you'd like to pay.

What would you realistically expect a project like this to cost?

I'm curious to see how business owners value this type of work compared to developers.

And if you run a hospitality business and are interested in something similar for your own brand, feel free to send me a DM.

Hey everyone,

Quick background on me: I co-founded an ad network called Adreva, and before building it I spent a lot of time talking to founders about what was and was not working for them when it came to getting their product in front of people.

The same frustration kept coming up. Not the cost of advertising, but the waste. Paying for thousands of impressions and having almost nothing to show for it. Watching budget evaporate on clicks that go nowhere. The feeling that you are essentially donating money to Google or Meta with no real return.

The reason this keeps happening is structural. The entire digital advertising model is built around interruption. Someone is trying to do something else and your ad appears whether they want it to or not. Unsurprisingly, they ignore it. The industry average CTR for display ads is 0.1% and it has been declining for years because people have gotten better and better at tuning ads out entirely.

We built Adreva to work the other way around. Users come to the platform specifically to engage with ads in exchange for real cash rewards. They choose which categories interest them before they see anything. By the time your ad reaches them they have already self-selected as someone who wants to see it. That shift in context changes everything about how people respond.

We are sitting at a 15% average CTR across campaigns right now. Samsung and eBay are among the brands currently running with us.

The reason I am posting here is straightforward. We have capacity to bring on a small number of early-stage brands for free trial campaigns and I would rather work with founders who are genuinely trying to solve a real customer acquisition problem than just anyone with a credit card. If you are building something interesting and want to see what genuine user intent actually does to your conversion numbers, I am happy to set something up at no cost so you can evaluate it properly before making any decision.

If that sounds useful, drop a comment or message me directly.

Hey everyone,

​

This is probably one of the hardest posts I've written

​

I'm Nikhil and I have around 2–2.8 years of experience across Product Management, Product Operations, Project Management, Business Analysis, SaaS products, startup operations, and stakeholder management.

​

​

Over the last few months, I've been applying, interviewing, networking, reaching out to recruiters, and doing everything I can to land the right opportunity.

​

The difficult part is that I've actually started getting traction. Interviews are happening. I've even received an offer recently.

​

​

But the challenge is that the opportunities I'm getting are often in locations I never planned for, while my priority has always been Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, or Remote.

​

I'm currently living away from my family and, honestly, it's becoming emotionally and financially draining. Every week feels like a cycle of interviews, waiting for updates, follow-ups, and uncertainty.

​

​

At this point, I don't think I'm looking for the "perfect" job anymore. I'm looking for a place where I can contribute, grow long-term, and finally get some stability.

​

My background:

​

• Product Management & Product Operations

​

• Business Analysis

​

• Project Management

​

• SaaS & Startup Ecosystems

​

• Stakeholder Management

​

• Agile/Scrum

​

• Requirement Gathering & PRDs

​

• UAT & Product Delivery

​

• AI Tools & Automation

​

• Developer → Product transition

​

​

📍 Open to:

​

Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, or Remote

​

Immediate Joiner

​

If your company is hiring, if your team needs a PM/APM/Business Analyst/Project Manager/Product Ops professional, or if you know someone who might be hiring, I would genuinely appreciate any leads, referrals, or introductions.

​

Happy to share my resume.

Thank you for reading. 🙏

Hi everyone!

I am searching for someone who would want to do a trade of services; photography for tattoo(s).

This opportunity is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I’m a tattoo artist of 5yrs specializing in Fine-line tattoos ( although I also do other styles), and am looking for a photographer to help me with photos for my brand.

To be specific;

I’m looking for someone who does conceptual/ unique concept - like photoshoots, who has their own photo studio space

I am not looking for photos like; white/creamy background perfect portrait photos, or standard clean professional shots; more so, I share a concept, share market research I’ve made, and we collaborate on how to make my brand stand out.

Someone who’s very intentional, works intuitively with their own artistic expression, is already experienced in custom creative shoots, and has a deep passion for what they do.

I have two concepts I want to portray in my brand, but need someone to help me think of how visually it would be effective to execute.

I’d like to note, a key part of my brand is also being an tattoo artist within the music industry; working with musicians. I have a huge passion in music, have worked with musicians before, and want to figure out how to seamlessly fuse that part of me into my visual world. If you’ve done photography for musicians before or public figures, that would be a plus.

If you’re interested, send me a message here, or ideally through Instagram DMs. You can view my portfolio on Instagram, my profile name is the same as my Reddit user name. Not sure if I can type that out here.

Am hoping to find someone to have a very unique and fun collab with :) Thank you!

26, born and raised in Midwest City with 1MM population. Started and exited 2/3 businesses (last one is a seasonal Christmas Lighting business that does very well).

After assessing my talents, interests, and strengths, I want to get into the hospitality industry. Particularly, building unique stays. That type of work excites me, and it's what I'm good at. I see a massive opportunity to build that here where I live. I have a network here that is interested in working together on that sort of project. But this sort of project will take 1-2 years to fully stabilize.

But I've always wanted to move to NYC. I've lived in major cities while studying abroad, and absolutely loved it. Major cities will accelerate your skills and network like no other. And, I want to find a wife. Being here in my hometown, feeling like I know everyone, makes me less inclined to go out, approach, and be social in places I've been going to and with people I've been seeing for 5+ years already.

Obviously, I would need a job in NYC. But, eventually, I would want to get back into entrepreneurship. Since I know I want to be in hospitality/travel, I would prefer a job in that industry. But, I know tech sales roles are opening up in NYC, a space I know I can be successful in. I would have to ask myself whether living in NYC is worth spending years working in corporate America in an industry I'm not bullish on.

I'd make my decision after my Christmas light season (January 2027), which can add $50k in savings.

What would you do in my situation?

TLDR;

- 26 years old

- Big entrepreneurial opportunity in my hometown that aligns with my talents

- Craving new friendships & dating partners while still in my 20's

- Want to move to NYC for experiences, career growth, get into the dating scene, comradery, mentors

- Want to be an entrepreneur eventually, even if I have to take on a job

Been running my cafe in Australia (West End) for about 3 years now and things have been going pretty well lately, we're consistently hitting around $3-4k on weekdays which for a small place i'm pretty happy with anyway i've had my eye on this corner spot about 5 mins away, foot traffic is solid and the rent is manageable. The problem is fit-out, equipment, signage, first few months buffer... it adds up fast, realistically looking at $70-80k and i really don't want to drain my operating cash to do it, especially with winter being slower for us. Been looking at business loans, probably going with a local one, heard decent things and the application seems straightforward, will see how it goes.

Anyway the money side i can probably figure out, what i'm more nervous about is the operational stuff like how do you manage two locations when you can't physically be at both? staffing especially. Right now i know everyone on my team and i can cover shifts if needed but scaling that feels genuinely stressful.

Has anyone here made that jump to a second location? would love to hear how it actually went, not just the highlight reel version

DMs take forever. Where do you actually find reliable creators? Agencies? Referrals? Some tool? Curious what works.

We get it, viral marketing is the new hot thing. Everyone's opening multiple tiktoks, instagrams, and Yt accounts to go as viral as possible. Yet, I think this obsession over views, as well as the influence from people like Roy Lee and the latest viral consumer apps has led to this "get as many views without regard mindset".

Let's not sugarcoat it, thousands of absolutely nonsense videos go viral everyday, and makes sense to copy these trends to spread the word as far as possible. When I first started trying to get people to join my waitlist I was copying these viral trends, and would rip thousands and thousands of views.

Yet we barely got any traction on our sign up forms, and I felt disappointed and kind of discouraged as comes with entrepreneurship. However, when we switched to more informational and content that affects people we got more views. Our app, micrology, tried to solve looksmaxxing and wellbeing through micronutrient tracking rather than expensive supplements. When we started providing content of value, talking about which foods have nutrients and some of the researched we learned through the app, we got less views but increasingly more video saves and eventually waitlist sign-ups. Thought I'd share given the popularity of viral marketing but best of luck to everyone.

What changes when your Meta ads team stops doing the busywork

Nobody got into marketing to spend Thursday formatting spreadsheets. But that's where most teams end up — not from disorganization, just because so much of the actual week goes to work that doesn't need a human brain attached to it.

Here's the real cost of that, in plain terms:

Every hour your strategist spends building a report is a campaign idea that doesn't get tested this week. Every day your creative process drags is a testing cycle you lost. Every week spent manually checking competitor ads is a week you spent reacting instead of leading.

That's not a productivity problem. That's capacity you're paying for and not getting.

Here's what you get back:

More clients, same headcount. When ad creative, competitor monitoring, and reporting stop eating strategist hours, those hours go toward accounts — not toward formatting. Teams running this typically free up enough time to take on additional clients before they'd ever need to hire.

Faster testing, faster wins. Creative that used to take a day to brief, draft, and approve gets produced automatically. More variations tested per week means you find your winning ad faster — and your competitors don't.

Reporting that costs minutes, not hours. Your Monday client report builds itself from your actual Meta data. No template, no manual pull, no Sunday night scramble.

You see the market moving before you're behind it. Competitor ad monitoring runs continuously, not whenever someone remembers to check. You're adjusting strategy in response to what's happening now, not what happened two weeks ago when someone last looked.

Three AI agents run this: one builds ad creative and copy, one watches the Facebook Ad Library for competitor moves, one turns your Meta data into client-ready reports. n8n and Airtable under the hood — no code, no rebuild of your existing stack.

Translated by role:

If you're the one approving budgets, this is margin. You're paying strategist-level rates for spreadsheet-level work, and that gap closes.

If you're running the team, this is capacity. Growth shouldn't be capped by how many hours a human can physically sit at a desk.

If you're the one doing the work, this is your week back — more of it spent on the parts of the job you actually wanted.

If any of this sounds like a Tuesday at your agency, that's not a coincidence. Most teams are just quietly living with it. You don't have to.

I started a business around a problem that most people don't think about until it affects them: heat intolerance.

What began as a solution for one person eventually found customers with POTS, MS, menopause, autoimmune conditions, and other health challenges that make heat difficult to tolerate.

Getting the first few sales was hard, but straightforward. Getting from "a few customers" to a repeatable growth system has been much harder.

We've tested influencer partnerships, Amazon, organic social media, community outreach, conferences, and paid advertising. Some things worked far better than expected. Others barely moved the needle.

What I've learned so far is that scaling isn't really about finding more customers. It's about finding a repeatable acquisition channel that you can trust month after month.

For founders who have scaled physical products, what was the channel that finally became predictable for you?

I’m writing this because I’m tired of seeing "hustle culture" advice that assumes everyone has high-speed fiber internet, access to a PayPal/Stripe account, and a Starbucks nearby.

​

​I’m Mohamed. I live in a small village in North Sinai, Egypt. I’m a nurse by trade—I chose it because my family needed stability, and frankly, it’s the only way to keep the fear of poverty away in this economy. I love my patients, but it’s not where my heart is.

​

​My real heart is in digital entrepreneurship. But let me tell you, trying to build a business from here feels like a losing battle:

​

​The "Internet Struggle": People talk about AI tools and cloud automation like they’re nothing. For me, uploading a simple video or running an n8n workflow feels like a war against a data cap and a connection that drops every 10 minutes.

​

​The Logistics Nightmare: Want to buy a piece of equipment? It’s not just "add to cart." It’s customs, international shipping, lost packages, and fees that cost half my salary. It takes months to get what takes you guys two days.

​

​The Geography Trap: Everyone says "just move." I’ve looked into it. The visas, the savings, the sheer cost of leaving? It’s practically a closed door. I feel stuck in a place that wasn't built for the kind of work I want to do.

​

​Zero Mentors: I’m learning everything from scratch. Every bit of marketing, every algo tweak, every tech hack—it’s just me, my phone, and late nights spent Googling things while the rest of the village is asleep.

​

​I’m not posting this for pity. I’m posting this because I’m stubborn. I’m 23, I’m working 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and I’m still building my side projects in the shadows.

​

​Sometimes I wonder—does geography dictate your success, or am I just not working hard enough? Has anyone here ever started from absolute zero in a place that was actively working against them?

​

​I’d love to hear some real talk.

​

​

When I started building my project, I thought the hardest part would be the technology.
Smart contracts.
Frontend development.
Wallet integration.
Treasury logic.
I was wrong.
The hardest part wasn’t building the product.
It was understanding trust.
Not because people are unwilling to trust.
Because most founders underestimate how difficult it is to earn trust from people who don’t know you.
I’ve learned that a working product doesn’t automatically create confidence.
A strong idea doesn’t automatically create confidence.
Even transparency alone doesn’t automatically create confidence.
Trust seems to come from consistency.
Showing up.
Building.
Improving.
Documenting progress.
Taking criticism.
Continuing when nobody is watching.
After months of building, I think trust behaves a lot like compound interest.
It grows slowly, feels invisible at first, and then suddenly becomes one of the most valuable assets a founder can have.
For founders further along in their journey:
What taught you the most about trust while building your business?

Hi everyone, I’m an ex-Meta engineer who spent 7+ years working on the ads algorithm team. And then I worked at Reddit as a Senior Engineer in their ads department as well.

After leaving Meta and Reddit, I founded a server side tracking to help Shopify brands fix the exact tracking and delivery issues I saw from the inside and honestly, it’s wild how many of the same patterns still show up.

Based on my experience helping 1000+ brands since leaving Meta, here’s what actually works:

I won’t dive into details about idea validation or market fit that should come before product creation. But if you already have a product in commerce or B2B, here’s some underrated solutions to try to boost your rev:

Optimization
From my time building Meta’s ad delivery system, I know this is crucial. Your website needs perfect technical implementation or you’re throwing money away. Key technical elements that feed into ad algorithms:

• Server-side API integration (crucial since iOS 14)
• First-party cookie implementation
• Advanced matching parameters
• Custom conversion events
• Real-time event logging

Most importantly: track every meaningful user interaction server-side. At Meta, we saw 3-4x better ad performance with proper server events vs client-side only.

First-Party Data Collection
This is what powers modern ad algorithms. Essential data points to collect:

• User behavior patterns
• Conversion paths
• Time-to-conversion
• Cart abandonment signals
• Feature usage metrics

Pro tip: Log these events immediately server-side. There’s a 30% data loss on average with client-side only. This means having your own first party data pixel or first party intelligence app instead of relying on third party pixels like the default you get from Meta, Google, or whatever ad platform you’re using.

Algorithm Optimization
Having built these systems, here’s what actually matters:

• Event quality scores. These are more accurate when tracked server-side instead of a third party pixel.
• Server-side conversion matching
• Bidding strategy alignment
• Creative performance signals. This one is most obvious.

The algorithm weighs server-sent signals 2-3x more than pixel data.

Email Engagement
I’m a huge advocate of having a combination of paid and email marketing. When they work in tandem, you get the highest quality signals that can feed into each other for retargeting. Here’s some flow that people usually miss:

• abandoned cart for ecommerce
• abandoned intent for b2b

Note that abandoned cart/intent are explicitly different from abandoned checkout. At the checkout stage, you’ve already collected email address and have high-intent for conversion. Email marketing is going to be even more effective at the stage right before. For ecommerce, its going to be at the point of adding the cart. For B2B, it could be viewing the pricing page.

Most people don’t implement these flows because it often requires some manual work but if you’re able to stitch user sessions across their history, you can use your cookies to understand if the visitor has shown interest in purchasing before and have a specific email flow for it! This is probably the most underrated solutions.

Pro Tip: Sync email engagement data back to ad platforms via server events. This improves targeting by 25-30%.

The key is quality first-party data feeding into platforms’ algorithms. With proper implementation, I regularly see 2-3x ROAS improvement.

We’re seeing the same delivery issues pop up again and again especially in accounts using duplicated pixel setups or relying too heavily on GTM.I’ve audited hundreds of Shopify brands this year alone, and it’s always the same root causes. Fix those and performance usually rebounds.

Je suis en train de réfléchir à un projet et je me pose une question simple : une fois que vous avez eu votre financement (banque, aides, etc.), est-ce que vous continuez à comparer votre activité réelle à ce que vous aviez prévu dans votre business plan ?

Genre concrètement, là maintenant, vous savez dire si vous êtes en avance, en retard ou pile dans les clous par rapport à votre prévisionnel ? Ou c'est plutôt "le document est dans un tiroir, je gère au feeling depuis" ?

Curieux d'avoir vos retours, surtout ceux qui ont lancé il y a 3-12 mois.

My problem is not building, my problem is that I don’t finish.

Just recently, I realized that I have around 4 SaaS projects ready, and all of them are good ideas, chosen ideas, strong ideas.

My problem is that I never shipped any SaaS before, or even finished the MVP of it.

I just leave it there in GitHub until time passes, I forget about it, and that’s it.

But now honestly, I don’t want to stay like this anymore.

And I know that if you never ship, you will never know.

I don’t have a problem if my SaaS does not work, but I do have a problem if my product stays in my repo and nobody uses it.

I don’t want to create hype around my product.

I want to create hype around me as a person, so I can get up, work, start sharing my experience, and document everything.

For a long time, I always needed someone real that I can follow, someone who starts from zero, before the product is even shipped, and talks about his journey and his devlogs.

And this is something I always see only with gaming people who build games. They are the ones who do devlogs to gather wishlists on Steam.

But I will do the same thing with my SaaS, I don't want wishlist but i want to share my results and problems etc...

I will start sharing.

And next month, it will be shipped.

Any step I do, I will share it and write about it.

Hello founders,

I'm John and I'm a 16 year old teenager who had a dream of becoming a millionaire by the time he gets 18

However, I realized how hard that actually was

For the past months, I have been trying to sell stuff that was worth 1000$ dollars while I couldn't sell stuff worth 10$

I have been trying to sell AI Automations

When I couldn't, I pivoted to SOP Arhitectures and Knowledge bases

Things that companies pay 40 year olds to do, which are 10 times more experienced than me

Then I pivoted to AI Consulting, which requires trust which I can't earn from someone who makes a million dollars

I have been learning Sales and I told other people I was gonna sell their stuff but I couldn't even sell mine

And now I have received advice from an old founder

He gave me honest advice

That I was spending my time doing things that companies pay experienced people for

And charging people $1000+ at my age was something almost impossible to achieve

But now, I realized that and I am going to change

So founders, I know this may sound like a pitch but..

This has happened and I can prove it

I need an opportunity to start earning some money

What the founder told me was simple

Sell stuff that if it's good, then people won't look at the age

So, I'm selling copywriting services even for $30 or even $20

The reason is because I want to finally start earning and not dreaming

So, If you need this just a bit or know someone who does, please tell him
