On: New Startup Now Pulling In Over $100k in Monthly Revenues

[Retailslave]

Can I come along for the ride just to observe and learn?

I know nothing and have no skills.

On: Ask HN: Anyone on HN running a web startup with 50K+ a year net profit?

[Retailslave]

No, I wish someone would help me learn how to do all this stuff. I'm not sure where I could begin with even doing a "web startup"

I'd need a lot of programming knowledge and I was not blessed with a computer when I grew up like a lot of you.

On: Ask HN: Sub-$1000/mo passive income in 30 days?

[Retailslave]

I'd also like to learn this.

On: Ask HN: Went from $30 a day to $300 with less traffic. Um...now what?

[Retailslave]

Interesting.

Very informative post,

I try to see if its feasible to do.

On: Offer HN: 100 downloads of your free iPhone app. Help solve chicken/egg problem.

I'd do it, how much is the pay?

[msencenb → Retailslave]

For the users or app developers?

For users you get a minimum of 10 cents for an app and for paid apps the minimum payout is the price of the app itself.

Quick question,

The link says,

>We think the best way for you to learn about software engineering is to actually do it

Does this mean that I can apply for an internship without any coding experience?

Because I'd love this.

What's keeping you from getting any coding experience?

[suhail → Retailslave]

You would need to know how to code =)

>- Are you servicing a specific region Southern California.

>- Who are your primary customers going to be? You say mechanics, but are they the only customers possible?

Mechanics, other people who will buy from me to distribute.

>- Does it have to be something with "Auto Supplies" in it? Think of successful sites whose names don't have anything in common with the actual purpose of the site (Google, Yahoo, Zillow...)

Not at all, any recommendations are helpful and highly appreciated. That's just what I was thinking..

>Maybe use your own name to cater to the customer segment that goes for the ol' folksy crap

I don't have a cool name that people with associate with. :(

I actually like some of these. However, these seem to be directed at a retail crowd.

I am distributing to mechanics. I'm not sure if they'll enjoy Autocrat automotive supplies, despite the fact that I love that one. It's actually very smart.
