MenuWhere can I get a barcode for new products that I'm going to sell on Amazon and my future E-commerce?
This question has no further details.
Answers
First, avoid UPC codes.
They're expensive + cumbersome + Amazon no longer uses them... or rather... even if you have a UPC code, you'll require replacing these with the Amazon AISN number assigned you.
https://www.gs1us.org - UPC Mafia, where you purchase UPC codes.
More important is a high throughput multicolor printer (to print ad-hoc labels) + a barcode reader device, to ensure your barcodes are accurate (can be read by Amazon barcode scanners).
Ebay. You can get 1000 for around $15.
I'm not an expert on this, but a friend who is an Amazon seller recommended getting a GS1 tag and going from there. The website provides clear and easy-to-follow instructions.

If you have questions on building your organization, product and business strategies, shoot me a message!
You can purchase the barcodes from the sites here:

buyabarcode.co.uk
speedybarcodes.com
snapupc.com
And this guide might come in handy:

Would tak precaution if you are even considering to purchased upc barcodes from ebay as there might be recycled barcodes being sold and might lead to your products being identified as fraudulent and shutting down your amazon seller account.

I've been working on an app concept for 6 months and built an MVP. Is it better to pay a development firm to build or hire a developer as a cofounder?
I have built two software companies by hiring out the development work. I sold one for a decent sum during the dot com era (circa 1999). I remain a shareholder in the other one. I currently work with amazing development company on behalf of one of my clients. Here are some things to consider. 1. Do you really want to give up equity? If not outsource. 2. How fast do you want to get to market? If sooner than later, outsource. 3. How capitalized are you? If undercapitalized, either outsource offshore (which runs about 20% of US rates), or bring on an equity development partner. I offer a free call to first time clients. Let's chat and I'll give you some great advice from three decades of experience.

How do you get a product prototype developed in China sitting in the US?
It varies and it's very very specific to what you want to develop. The concrete design of your circuit matters. Also prototype building costs are usually a factor 10-100 higher than series. If you already have your prototype then you can shop around various manufacturing companies. To do that, you need Gerber files (your PCB design) and a bill of materials. You also need to think about casing: designing it and creating the mold is expensive. If you don't have your prototype yet, I recommend having it engineered in eastern Europe. Custom engineering is cheap there and high quality. IP protection is a problem. One thing to do is to distribute the work to different manufacturers. For the design phase you are safer if you design your prototype in Europe or the US where international patent laws apply. I could give you more specific advise in a phone call, getting to know a bit better what you are trying to build.GF

My startup just failed. What could I start to "immediately" generate $1,000/mo?
The quickest path to cash is almost always consulting. Be very specific about what it is you can offer. Don't just offer "business consulting". Find a niche and serve it. Reach out to your network, including friends and family and ask if they need or know of anyone who might want to hear about what your consulting has to offer. That will be way faster than trying to go at it from scratch or cold calling. If you call 100 people in your network this week, you will have a consulting gig within 3 weeks. Good luck, and let me know if you'd like advice on entering a digital marketing/lead generation consulting niche. I've grown from zero to $8,000 of monthly recurring payments in the last 40 days!
