Scoble Scale

The Scoble Scale is a Software Engineering term invented to fill the need to accurately describe your annoyance level to other co-workers. This is based on the Scoville Scale used to measure the pungency of peppers, which is based on a subjective rating by test subjects. In this case, the subjectivity is because annoyances can differ between people, but at least there's still a way to communicate it.

1 Scoble Unit is equal to the annoyance perceived from taking a 45 min train ride into town for a meeting organized by a manager that takes less than 5 minutes to conclude, then have to ride the train back.

Since the scale is subjective, it theoretically has no upper limit, but for the sake of simplicity we try to cap it to 11.
"Oh man, that meeting was horrendous. Definitely a 5 on the Scoble Scale."

Niche Scaling

Niche Scaling refers to scaling multiple handmade niche products (at once) through multiple online E-commerce stores in order to create passive income. Considerably better than dropshipping, niche markets tend not to be oversaturated, but are riskier due to expensive upfront costs, logistics, trademarks, and compliance with local/state regulations. Profit could potentially net anywhere from 2,000-10,000 in cash per month.
Sophie: "Dropshipping seems popular, but there's something about Niche Scaling that's caught my eye.

Mia: "I'm thinking about dropshipping for my new online business, but I have some reservations."

Liam: "Why not try Niche Scaling, Mia? You'd scale handmade niche products through online E-comm stores. It has its risks, like upfront costs and regulations, but niche markets aren't often oversaturated. Plus, the profit could be substantial."

Mia: "Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks, Liam!"

Alex: "Hey Jordan, I've been thinking about starting an online business. I've heard a lot about dropshipping, but I'm not sure if it's the right route for me."

Jordan: "Well, Alex, have you considered Niche Scaling? It refers to scaling multiple handmade niche products at once through multiple online E-comm stores to create passive income. It's considerably better than dropshipping since niche markets tend not to be oversaturated. However, it's a bit riskier due to expensive upfront costs, logistics, trademarks, and compliance with local/state regulations. The profit could potentially net anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 bones per month."

Alex: "That sounds intriguing! I'll have to look into it more. Thanks for the tip!"
