comment How should I forecast numbers in the business plan?
@graphicsman I think you have missed my point. Just because others do it doesn't mean you should. Facebook screws over users with privacy settings and they are huge... maybe we all should be doing that?

comment Welcoming new users into a paid online community when a free trial is offered
I don't have any suggestions, it sounds like you are doing a really great job. 20% conversion rate is great, so is 5 to 6 free trial signups per day. It sounds like you are doing really well... congrats!

comment Choosing between complex or simple business ideas
I hate the fail fast and learn quick idea. I would focus much more on succeeding than thinking failure is not a bad result either. What do you learn from failing? You learn what not to do, not necessarily what you should do.

comment Choosing between complex or simple business ideas
@MaximGershkovich I can understand needing real pressure to get something happening, that's how it worked for me. Only when I quit my job did I progress anything, but I did have a viable idea first. Just remember that making a bad decision on which idea to do could still end up as a successful business, but making no decision will certainly lead to failure. Choose one, start building.

comment How to deal with competitors who are constantly slashing their prices?
It's hard to advise without knowing more. It sounds like you just need to find a way though. If you can make your brand "cooler", a lot of people want to use the cool option. That comes down to branding/marketing.

comment When and how do I approach an investor?
@ronM. I agree, but it's just not true that chasing investment improves your chance of success in all cases. If the equation was as simple as you put it then of course it would always be the way to go.
