Ask HN: Compendium of business activity

4 点作者 raphaelrk将近 8 年前
Curious if anyone knows of resources that in great detail discuss a broad spectrum of &quot;business activity&quot;. Essentially, a &#x27;How Its Made&#x27; but for businesses. Unordinary hacky&#x2F;quick buck business activity is especially welcome and interesting, in addition to traditional small and big business experiences. The goal would be that, by reading these, you would get an interesting, broad perspective on how individuals and businesses get products out, make money, or just get things done.<p>Examples:<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience with dropshipping, from first finding out about the concept, to raising money, to the calls and negotiations they had to make to put it all together, to how they&#x27;re faring now and thoughts they had on the process<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience starting a grocery store, covering how they put together the funds, decided where to open the store, supply their shelves, hire their workers, keep track of how well they&#x27;re doing<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience building a network and name in the sneakerhead world. How they talk shop with buyers and sellers, how they manage their inventory, how they keep up to date on things<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience quickly piggybacking off of recent trends for a quick buck, like making a flappy bird clone, pokemon go map, deepstyle image maker, or particular meme maker<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience investing their savings. How they learned about investing, information about it, the many choices and trade-offs one can make, including specific things like why they choose e-trade vs fidelity.<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience living cheaply by passively referring lots of people to on-demand delivery startups<p>- A startup&#x27;s experience self-funding themselves by selling cereal boxes with presidential candidates&#x27; faces on the box.<p>- A farmer&#x27;s story of how they maintain their farm, the daily, weekly, and seasonal considerations of their job, who they answer to<p>(more examples in comment)

More examples:<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience becoming internet famous and trying to monetize it and what eventually worked<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience going from &#x27;this would be cool if it existed&#x27; to getting an engineer to design it, a factory to produce it, and finally marketing and selling it<p>- Someone&#x27;s experience turning an Etsy or Ebay shop to a multi-person operation with a decent revenue stream<p>- Ways lobbyists have affected policy in Washington to provide value for their companies<p>- How someone went from finding out there was oil in their backyard to getting a rig installed and working, how hard it was to get the rig installed including talking to oil companies and dealing with local, state and federal laws, how long it took before they made a net profit.<p>- An individual&#x27;s experience starting a now-successful non-profit, including how they got donations, got the word out, distribute funds, how well it&#x27;s fared since passing hands and how that was done<p>- The process a record company has to go through to get an album out, from signing artists, to recording, to marketing, to making and distributing CDs, to sharing the audio file to apple music, spotify, etc<p>- A publishing company&#x27;s experience reviewing books, editing them, publicizing them, and finally distributing them.<p>- The way a company like Sears uses data from memberships, past sales data, locations, etc. to inform their stock, marketing, etc.<p>- How a company like Lockheed-Martin secures contracts and fulfills them<p>- An analysis of the ways luxury brands grew to their current status, who their customers are, how their customers found out about them, and how their clothing is produced
