This is a complex question. Consider a 200 page book sold 2x ways... 1) Amazon: One time sale price of $20 - 30%. 2) Split 200 pages (at an average 200 words/page) split into 200 blog posts which generate profit/hour using either digital marketing + email marketing + direct mail marketing. Let's say each page generates $1000/month income... so... 200 * $1000 == $200K/month income. So $20/once verses $200K/month... First question about book publishing is purpose of the book. Tip: Smart Marketers never, ever, ever consider publishing a book for income. There are many other reasons to publish. Income is never a good reason for publishing. Start with your profit/month, then number hours/week you'd like to work, then you'll generate a clear publishing path, along with your publishing calendar.

Great questions. Getting your foot in the door with large brands is usually not an easy task. You can try to find a link to a partnership page on their website and fill out the necessary information, but that is not always fruitful. I would try that as a start. From there, you can look up the company on Linkedin and try to find people that work for that company in roles that could be applicable. Reach out to those people and try to connect with them. If they are not the right resource, they could give you the information to get your foot in the door. Once you have a foot in the door, you need to make sure that you know your business like the back of your hand. Make sure your financials are in order, create financial reports, be prepared to show your business plan, your pitch deck, your previous successes, and a distinct plan on how you are planning to partner with the brand. If you want to talk in more detail, please reach out to me, would love to discuss in detail and plan further. Thank you, Andrew

You’re probably not going to want to read this message because there’s hard truth in it, it’s the message you should read though. Marriage is hard. It’s not all bliss. There are times when divorce is ideal but those situations are rare. Marriage was once truly until death did you part, today we are more liberal about marriage and divorce is easy to get done. No real stigma, no lasting stigma at least, no familial pressure. Wives today are just girlfriends who are expensive to break up with. I’ve been married for 12 years. It’s been great but it has not been without its very rough spots. Rough spots are in our future. Unless she tried to kill you or straight up cucks you, most of what you have to do is suck it up, work it out. Spoiler alert. You’re going to fuck up. Keep trying.

Have you launched an MVP yet? Minimum Viable Product. If not, I would get that done first.spend as little as possible. Get someone in Asia who works a lot cheaper and get a prototype. If you have an MVP and are ready to have a finished product. Again, go to upwork or fivver. Find someone offshore who works for a few grand and gives you a kick ass product. There is usually no need for some company to do it for you. They’re usually hiring people form upwork anyway. Cut out the middleman.

Separate patents required to be filed for each country where the protection is required. It is something with which the business esteem is connected. Insuring the intellectual property is also a common norm since it is an asset. One of the quintessential business components is to have IP protection a part of budgeting and business plan as well. Subsequently, a large portion of the estimation of a start-up, for the most part, gets from their IP rights. It has been assessed that on the normal, over 80% of the estimation of a new business depends on their IP portfolio. Unless your start-up offers something that has zero creation costs, you will need to tighten the pocket heavily even to make start making profits. Another aspect that the businesses do not consider is the cost associated with not taking proper care of the intellectual properties.

This is a great idea. Initially, it sounds as though the centres are meant only for school children, as a form of guidance within the school as a non-profit. Depending on your target market, you may struggle to find clients that are willing to pay a monthly fee because they may feel that it's a trivial exercise, especially when it's something they're new to. I'd suggest you do some market research, there is a big difference in affordability between high-schoolers and adult parents and their priorities will differ greatly. I'd also advise you reconfigure the method/type of membership. The monthly fee is great for income and client retention however, may be off-putting to lower earning clients. Maybe look into a day-rate or weekly rate as well. This will accommodate someone that would like to experience the facility prior to making a commitment or even someone who can't make the full commitment and only wants to visit your facilities every now and again. All in all, it's brilliant. Let me know if you've got any follow-up questions that we can handle via a call. All the best

Wxatthewmaps is an interface that offers thinking automation. So, I believe before you are choosing a business-model you must understand what it is that you want to target. Often people confuse between value-retention and customer-retention. These two are closely related. When you enter the word “value, you will come across two business models. Value proposition development is an organizational approach to building in value to the customer experience. It is simply that by building a value proposition you will provide profitable and superior customer value. You can read more here: https://www.fullsurge.com/blog/6-steps-to-creating-a-compelling-b2b-value-proposition Creating a value-focused enterprise requires a fundamental rethink of the way things are organized and managed. These customers demand, and are willing to pay for, a sales effort that creates new value and provides additional benefits outside of the product.

I would suggest utilizing Upwork.com for finding an expert. This site will allow you to create a detailed project proposal based on your needs and give you maximum flexibility to create a payment structure that fits your budget. Depending on how the training is structured, you can pay the expert you choose either by the hour or session. Holding online training seminars with multiple individuals would be the most economical and effective way to accomplish your goals, then if needed, you can find another expert with at a lower rate to help answer further questions the attendees might have at on later date. This task could be performed at an hourly rate, as the bloggers would most likely need about 30 minutes of time to reinforce concepts learned during the seminar

Periodically I do Realtor Marketing. I never buy lists, because these lists are dirtier than voter roles. Better to just go download a free copy of any active Realtor Licensee database for a given city. These lists are rock solid, because Realtors on this list have renewed their licenses, so addresses are always correct.

I have a business finding developers for startups, so this is something I have some experience in. I would say that you're looking for the wrong thing. You do not need to have developers with experience in real estate. What you need is good developers, and a solid design plan for them to follow. For example, when I got my first programming job out of college, I worked as a coder for a company that did government retirement software. Government retirement rules are complex, and I knew nothing about them. But as a coder, I didn't need to, since my boss gave me instructions on what needed to be done. If you have a clear vision for your product, and can explain that vision in tangible, clear terms, that's good enough. What you want is some solid, experienced developers who know how to build a product and use best practices. You may or may not need five people. Be careful not to make the mistake that many entrepreneurs make by overstaffing. More developers does not necessarily mean that it will get done faster. Plan out your team based on what skill sets you need, and start small. You can always add more developers later. Generally speaking, 90% of the time when I see an entrepreneur starting out with a big team, they're probably trying to do too much too soon. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

This is very vague, how you spread any knowledge is largely dependent on the type of information you want to put out. I'm open to share some useful tips, especially related to Project Managent, open for a call.

It is tricky but not possible. Having been in your situation I can appreciate the challenge that lies ahead. Investors took for signals to create reassurance and trust, things that are generally tangible like an MVP, initial customers, the first proofs that customers are willing to pay and a problem is actually being solved. Not having that makes it a magnitude more difficult so having a proxy for those tangible signals will matter most. For example to make the product more real without a product you may want to create a clickable demo to give investors a feel for the user experience and how it will work. If you don't have customers yet then maybe you can survey the market and potential customers and reference those that provide good feedback and interest in your deck. Other positive signals will be useful too. Very importantly, at an early stage, investors are backing the team even more than the product. Having a solid team with sector experience who have created a startup before and have the experience needed will be very important. In terms of investors focusing on friends, family and creating an offering that is derisked and maybe has task incentives can help get some initial commitments. Smaller tickets will help. Also if you have invested your own money and have committed to not taking a salary or taking a greatly reduced salary for an initial period will show investors that you've got skin in the game and you're prepared to lose your own money. Finally, investors like to see other investors invest, when there is momentum and fear of missing out investors may be more motivated to invest. Give me a call if you want to discuss further how to create a solid MVP stage fundraising strategy Good luck!

It is the old question of time vs money, that most entrepreneuer face. First everyone assumes their idea is great. I am not talking to you personally but the statistics show that this is not the truth. Even with careful market research (not just asking Google and friends) there is always a chance your product will be a failure nobody wants. So would you rather have tanked 50k to 100k on an expensive MVP nobody wants? So what is your alternative: Finding a co-founder, who can code it: less risk/less reward Finding an investor, who will front you the money: less risk/less reward Using one of the many NoCode options like Bubble.io - almost no risk / but takes a lot of time risking being too late or never getting anything finished So you see there is always a downside. You are the business owner. Only you know the scope of your idea. Only you will ultimately have to live with the consequences of your decision. If you need help talking about the specifics, just give me a call. I am glad to help. -Gerd

As Dan Kennedy says, "Explorers tend to return full of arrows." In other words, good chance of failure trying anything new. Do something old, with a new spin. Tip: Read through Kennedy's books (I could 60+ on my bookshelf) about how to do... business spins... slapping a new face on an old industry/niche/product.

You will probably get more or better responses posting this type of question on a forum for software developers like stackexchange because the people who actually know the answer to your question are most likely people who work at this company or used to work here, who might have signed an NDA that prevents them from giving away company secrets or any information that might be sensitive in one way or another. Given that it's better to be safe than sorry, this type of information might fall under that category. My assumption could be wrong but if I was the owner or even an employee, I see zero benefit to answer this question because without a much larger discussion, the information won't even be useful to you.
