There are three questions to answer: 1. Are you selling a wonderful product or selling something people know and wanted to have? 2. Turmeric more valuable or the latte? What values are you driving? You are looking for customers to take latte enjoyment or turmeric for health or both? 3. If to bring the wonderful product to a market that doesn't know your product and thus shows no interest in it, how much money you have? If the answers for all the above three questions are unfavorable, I am very sure you had failed to have your product-market fit. Then your challenge is not above how to increase sales but how to sell the right product to the right customer. Feel free to contact me if you need help.

I am in Singapore, help many e-commerce businesses grow sales 5x to 15x last year. One major challenge to the growth is cash flow. There are many factors to look at and these 3 major areas are critical: 1. Cash flows - you need to study the cash flows patterns (short-term, middle-term, and long-term) and develop a cash flow model for your business. Without this, you can't even tell when and how much money you needed + unable to identify business survival risk from cash flows perspective + to determine where is the trapped cash 2. Behaviour of the revenue and cost - this is essential to help you determine the break-even point, commitments, maximize profit, strategies to increase revenue and reduce cost, how much to invest in operation vs improvement of the business. 3. Capital structure - there are 3 main sources of cash, i.e. revenue, loan, and equity. There are other areas such as Government grants and donations which the impacts are not significant enough to focus on. When we talk about capital structure, we will look at what is a good mix of loan and equity to manage your business gearing risk. After you have the above 3 sets of information, you can determine how many loans to take up and how to allocation them to different aspects of the business. Do note that good cash flows management will improve your cash position, but to increase your sales, other techniques are needed but not discussed here. +22 experiences in helping +350 SG and Asia companies to grow from a startup to listed across many industries.

I will suggest landing page. I clicked the link and I was not impressed. A landing page should offer all the necessary information, but not so much as to overwhelm the visitor. Provide the essential info that will interest your audience and nothing more. We just discussed how you do not want to information-smother visitors, but this isn’t to say you should be cheap with your content – on the contrary, provide rich, useful content, so long as it is relevant. The goal is to funnel visitors down a desired pathway, and if links serve as points of departure from the funnel, they should be used sparingly. Make it easy to convert. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for visitors to convert, providing as little distance and as few barriers as possible between points A and B. The next step should always be obvious. This strategy varies depending on what your desired conversion is. Information architecture comes into play here, as it is important for a landing page to have a clear, crisp design that leaves all questions answered without inspiring any new ones.

There are a number of different ways of reaching angel investors. First, identify the type of angel investor you are looking for. Then initially look within your own network, share what you are doing and you might be surprised. Next research where your investors hang out and try and be part of the conversation. Maybe there are incubators or accelerators that would be suitable and who can support you or facilitate investor introductions, meetings, and pitch events. Maybe it might make sense to seek a grant or get funding from a partner who would also benefit such as in the education sector? Another option that takes time is to find and connect to your investor audience through networks such as LinkedIn. You can then nurture those relationships over time, ask for advice, keep them updated, take conversations offline, and establish trust. Then probably after 6+ months of nurturing when you do raise funds, you should have earned a warm relationship that will allow you to approach them with regards to potentially funding your business. Warm intros are definitely the best approach. Once you have your initial investors keep building relationships and they may recommend new investors next time round. Worth noting with angels there is smart and dumb money and you may find that a coach/mentor from your sector provides more value compared to an angel who may be able to support you but on a more general high level. But as a rule of thumb always ask for support, your investors will usually provide, they are aligned with your potential success. Good luck!

Let us treat your blog as a product. A product is usually faceless. People are skeptical about what you say about yourself or your product. Other kind of good testimonials is expert testimonials, but the expert needs to be somebody people know. The best kind of testimonials are video testimonials. Nobody wants to be the only idiot buying your product. So the more testimonials, the better. Avoid cheesy stock photos. The goal of photos it to depict people like your buyers. Nobody looks or acts like people on stock photos. Try to get featured on as many 3rd-party sites as possible and link to those reviews, stories and articles. If your design is amateurish, cheesy or was built before 2005, you are losing sales. Mindvalley boosted its sales by 15% by just adding a McAfee trust mark on their site.

Hi sounds like you have a lot of valuable skills - well done. I'd be happy to receive your c.v. or a link to your LinkedIn profile and I could then connect you with some of the startups I work with (or bring you on board to one of the startups I work on myself) Good luck

Hi, 4a: There are various 'models' that you can use to estimate how many shares/percentages your new partner should get. These include (a) his/her investment in time and/or money, (b) the current + potential value of the company, (c) the time and/or money that you as the original founder already put in and various other models. That said, at the end of the day, it's all about value and psychology (both side's feelings). Bottom line: 1. It all really depends on how much value they are giving you (not only financial, sometimes even just moral support goes a long way). Some founder's 'should' get 5%, some should get 50% or more. 2. Ask the potential partner how much shares they want (BEFORE you name a number). 3. Have an open conversation with them in regards to each of your expectations. 4. Use a vesting (or preferably reverse vesting) mechanism - meaning that the founder receives his shares gradually, based on the time that goes by (during which he fulfills his obligations) and/or milestones reached. 5. If you want a mathematical method: calculate the value of each 1% of the shares (based on the last investment round), check how much an average CPO earns per month/year, and then you can calculate what % he/she should get for the 2-3 years they should put in. 4b. Happy to explain on a call as I would have to write another 10 lines to answer this. Very briefly though, the risk would be you not getting your shares, but if you draft a founder's agreement, you can avoid this. 4c. Tell him how much you respect him, the business and the time you worked there. Tell him that you are leaving for personal reasons. Do not tell him about the startup. Check that you don't have a non-compete class in your employment agreement. Good luck I've successfully helped over 380 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you. After scheduling a call, please send me some background information so that I can prepare in advance - thus giving you maximum value for your money.

Easy way. Connect with publishers of health magazines, write articles for the magazine (paid or free) using soft sell techniques to promote your products. Or you could setup a Food Porn site (glitzy photos of finished recipes), where recipes skew toward using your products. Likely several 100s of ways to do this + far more detail is required about your company to venture good guesses.

Hi! I hope you and your family are doing well. I'm not sure how much you may have to invest in a time or capital sense, but with this as long as you have the time you can pretty much get around not having to use any of your money or credit to pursue this opportunity. So it's called Wholesaling, I'm not sure if you're already familiar with this but it's basically reassigning properties for a seller to a new buyer that wants the property. It's that simple (once you find a seller and buyer of course) but that's where your time would need to be invested. There are databases online that give access to the type of properties you'd be looking for to help make the job easier and you could also drive around and see houses for sale and inquire about those if they're for sale by owner. There are many key things to look for when dealing with real estate but it's worth it if you can invest the time. You could earn anywhere between $5-10,000 when closing deals and you'd do that 2-3 times a month once you get the hang of things. I hope this helped!

There are several models you can opt for. Freemium: With this model app publishers offer mobile users to download apps free of charge to use with a limited set of features and charge them via in-app purchases for premium features, additional content, or digital goods. In-App Purchases: One of the app monetization strategies that is particularly relevant to mobile games only is in-app currency. A typical example would be offering a mobile game users to buy via in-app purchase a set of coins for them to use in the game, e.g. Quoting Apple's description of the Subscription model: Auto-renewable subscriptions give users access to content, services, or premium features in your app on an ongoing basis. With this model, app developers can offer multiple plans with options to upgrade, downgrade and crossgrade . The major feature of this model that appeals to users is that with Subscription model developers can offer a discount for a long subscription period. Affiliate Marketing and Lead Generation: Such time proven monetization strategy as affiliate marketing can be yet another way for app developers to monetize their mobile inventory. In a nutshell, affiliate marketing for mobile apps is about being rewarded with a commission fee for every instance when a mobile app was downloaded or specific action was taken with an app via the link placed inside your app. To make it work for you app monetization strategy, you need to choose what specific apps to promote inside your application, apps that can compliment your app for your users experience.

There are couple of ways i suggest it based on 15+ years I have in building offshore teams in Asia 1) India is becoming for start-up Hub now. If you want to start small, you can start searching for these companies by technology expertise you can looking for like Data Science, ML etc. You will start seeing search results with new and upcoming agencies. These are companies who are hungry for success and will literally do major development work for small prize.. 2) Then there is big fish in tank but still low price . You can partner with companies like TCS , Info and Wipro and try doing a T&M 1 year contract and see if they can offer you right expertise before investing big Like i said above , India is a IT hub , if you contact any of these companies , they will contact you immediately with proposal but there is no shortage of talent there. Happy to discuss this on call if you need . I have been in offshore business for multiple years , i can share my experiences with you

There's no point in this. Said differently, this nullifies the use of promo codes. With Amazon, there are near zero analytics. You're only hope of crude tracking is to keep your promo codes private, only provided in specific email or direct mail copy, to have some sloppy guess about who's buying your product. Best to also expire these quickly, because if you leave running for years, someone will pass this along to their list, which passes it along to other lists. Long term promo codes dilute data to an unusable point. Tip: Also, include some device on your product to drive people back to your site. Since you provide no information, no clue as to how to structure this device. Example: Say you're selling bagged Maca on Amazon. One each package you'll include something like... Email recipes@super-duper-great-maca.com for a free recipe book on 101 Maca recipes + energy boosting hacks... in 101 easy to implement email messages. Some device to collect purchaser information.

The first thing to consider is are you building this as an MVP or are you digitizing a business where you are already offering this service successfully offline. Ultimately you get what you pay for and if you go down the cost-effective route initially MVP style you will need to rebuild at a later date. If you're replicating an existing business that you are digitizing it would probably be worthwhile to use cost effective developers and more of a prototype approach. Based on the description of what you are doing I am going to assume you are looking to develop an MVP: 1. Using WordPress - using existing theme (free) or use a designer on Upwork/PPH to create a design and wireframes (~ +/- $1k). Use existing membership/payment plugins (cost as per use), use developer to customise and bring everything together $2-5k. With this solution there it is likely there will still be manual operations to do in background as it is difficult to customise word press 100% 2) Using no-code solution like Bubble. This is a fast and easy way to create web and mobile applications. There is a learning curve which can be quite steep depending on what you want to do. The cost for this is $0 except for your time, depends if you are time poor or could be working on something delivering more value. You may need to use a professional for more complex customisations and integrations cost for this tbd depending on what you want to do. 3. Build from scratch - create a business and requirement document/user stories. Post on Upwork, PPH or similar. Talk through with a few bidders, this will help you get your idea to a more advanced stage and may also uncover things you haven't thought of. Estimated cost for an MVP $5k-$40k Time to launch for all the above would be 2-4 months estimated for a basic stripped back MVP. I have gone through this process many times when building MVPs and businesses, there is, unfortunately, no fixed way, it will depend on your situation. Good luck! Laurent

This sounds like an exciting venture and a worthy cause, EdTech is a hot space right now, and rightly so. Something to consider first of all is whether you want to build an MVP or a basic prototype. If you are digitizing something which already exists, and therefore the need and model is proven in the real world, then it might be worth building basic foundations with a prototype. This means that you can then build on it as you learn more about how your customers want to use your marketplace. If cost is a major consideration then you might want to "fake it until you make it" i.e. create a slick online proposition but leaving out much of the plumbing in the background initially, and doing the background operational functions more manually. The additional benefit is understanding how the marketplace will operate before translating that into product requirements, I used this method for over a year initially when creating a marketplace and it served us well. The more "perks" and functionality you want to add the more cost will be involved, just focusing on the basics and doing those right is best as often when it's not clear how users will use the marketplace you can end up creating functionality that isn't used. This comes at a cost both financially as well as time-wise when you could be developing other stuff. It is important not just to think about the technical/product solution which is exciting and fun to do but the overall business. In terms of funding one of the approaches might be: 1. Self-funded/friends and family - until something tangible to show e.g. MVP 2. Angel funding 3. Angel/growth funding as you scale Unless you can bring onboard a technical cofounder who will build for equity or you can access government grants or similar support funding. Marketplaces are capital intensive, require a lot of marketing and a lot of throughput, something worth considering from the outset. Good luck!

If there is no co-pay or coinsurance assigned to a line of service, it is unlikely that the patient would be billed a co-pay or coinsurance for an out-of-network provider. However, it is important to check the patient's insurance policy and any agreements between the insurance company and the out-of-network provider to confirm whether or not the patient will be responsible for additional charges. If the out-of-network provider is not going to be submitting claims, it is likely that the responsibility for acquiring prior authorizations would fall on the patient or their representative. However, it is important to check the patient's insurance policy and any agreements between the insurance company and the out-of-network provider to confirm who is responsible for acquiring authorizations. Additionally, it is also important to check if the insurance company of the patient have any network providers which can be used instead of the out-of-network provider.

Finding a cofounder is tough, especially at early stage. I think the way your are approaching it make sense and I followed a similar path. Once you have developed an MVP you will have more to show both to potential cofounders, employees and investors. This will also allow you to raise some seed funding to alleviate the financial burden f just you financing your company. Until then it is hard for people to commit if there isn't anything tangible enough because of risk perceived. Follow your vision and create a story and basic MVP to share, seek feedback to validate and then convince people to join your adventure, if it's an exciting one they will join. Good luck!

What you're asking is very complex and to me 2% to 4% seems like a terrible ROI. There is a lot of information that needs to be provided to determine how to structure the deal and if it's even a good deal. Are you getting equity (a part of the ownership of the company) for your investment? If yes, how much (%)? Is the company valuation realistic? Is the company established and having sales or is it just starting out? Simple example: If you're investing 250k $ and the company has a realistic pre-money (before your money is invested in it) valuation of 1 Million $, you should be getting 25% in terms of equity. Of course things aren't that simple in reality but it's a good rule of thumb. - If I was to go ahead, how should the business be structured? This is hard to answer without more information. In general you should seek to have both equity and decision making power if you're investing into a business, if you want to be an equal partner you need both equal equity and power. Especially if it's in an early stage or if you're investing a significant amount of money. Which to me seems to be the case. How you'll specifically structure the business depends on the area in which the business operates in ex. software, manufacturing, sales, consulting etc. - What are the steps I can take to protect my investment? A lot of research and consulting into how these kinds of investments are usually done. You should obviously have a specific contract drafted by a lawyer as well which denotes the terms of investment. - How should any potential net income be shared if the proposer does not invest a single penny? Depends on what else is the proposer bringing to the table. Maybe other resources, machines for manufacturing, their network, blood sweat and tears, or whatever has a determinable value. Of course you need to figure out if what they're bringing to the table is of equal or more value to the money you're bringing in. - What are the pitfalls of such an arrangement? Also depends on the details. Some are: -> Giving the partner all the decision making power, "Trust is a terrible criteria for investment" -> There's always the risk of the company failing of course. -> If you don't draft specific contracts on what you're getting for your investment chances are you'll be getting very little I would suggest reading up/researching on investing into businesses (or start-ups), there are established procedures and contracts that are often used when investing.
