What are the biggest challenges you face as an entrepreneur? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space
[–] SupremeFlamer@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

For me. Cashflow. I run an e-commerce brand across eBay, Amazon, OnBuy and my own website. All the different platforms pay out at different times. I often have to pause the business when I could be making sales because I literally cannot afford to pay my supplier for stock as I'll be waiting on payouts from my selling platforms.

My laziness has cost me an estimated $1,500,000+ in profit last year... in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

Wow this is incredibly interesting because my e-com brand has exploded recently with Google Ads and I keep thinking I'll get set up with an email campaign company at some point but it's never been a priority. I didn't think it would be that successful to be honest, I barely open any promo emails.

Best way to transfer from a dying 8TB HDD? (alien.top)
 

Hard drive I use for games (so very large files) which is almost full has been giving me an error every now and again when attempting to access certain folders on the HDD. After a restart, my pc can access the folders in question. However, after a few hours the error will come back. After a bit of research, it sounds like it's on it's way out. I've attempted CHKDSK which I've left on for 3 days, running extremely slowly.

​

Unfortunately it's now stuck at 53% (screenshot: https://i.postimg.cc/qBCp37Rc/image-2023-11-13-113638901.png) and hasn't moved for 24 hours so I don't see it moving any further.

​

I understand this isn't a tech support reddit but I was wondering if anybody has some advice on the best/quickest way to transfer this data to another HDD. As the HDD tends to fail at random points after a few hours, I can't simply copy and paste it ALL in one go. Am I just going to have to simply copy and paste the files I need manually over a period of time? Or can anybody advise on a better way?

Thanks in advance.

Google ads is just too expensive! in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

I pay £5 a day and turn over about £200-300. Facebook on the other hand would give me tonnes of traffic with zero sales and cost a fortune compared to Google.

Google ads has been fantastic for me!
