Look for Amazon books with "Side Hustle" or "Work at Home" in the titles. Amazon sells numerous encyclopedia style books, some with 100s to 1000s of ideas listed.

1. Organic traffic (lots of quality content + links to your websites - preferably on the right keywords). 2. Partnerships/affiliate programs - you partner with other service providers that offer services that complete yours: they send traffic your way and you send traffic their way. Affiliate programs: you pay for traffic/leads/actions. Lots such programs exist. 3. 'Out of the box' - games, competitions, crazy PR/marketing stunts to get attention for free (lots of good examples online). I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you once I know more about your business. 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.

Hey – I'm an entrepreneur with extensive experience trading stocks and crypto. Both of them are online broker platforms that will let you do the same basic things. Robinhood is branded and packaged as a disruptor and designed more for the digital native set, whereas Charles Schwab is a little more of a traditional online broker in the vein of E-Trade. Yes, you own all shares of stocks you buy through either platform, and you're able to buy stocks, futures, and options on either one. Robinhood is a little more geared towards brand new investors, whereas Schwab has a fuller feature set. Robinhood also allows you to trade cryptocurrencies. I'd personally recommend Schwab, but both platforms will allow you to trade, learn, and grow. If you have any more questions I'd be happy to set up a call. Good luck trading!

How would you monetize this idea?

I would not monetize this idea at first. I feel your platform needs to be able to provide this service prior to trying to charge companies to list their services. I feel this way for two reason, I as a customer would not trust the platform as I would believe that it only exists to pressure me to contract the services of the companies that paid to be there. I as a company would not want to put my company's reputation at risk prior to the platform having a good reputation on the market.

Nice idea. A few similar such services exist - each in their own city/state - but each service is usually for a few specific services (like getting your packages or laundry, selling your property etc) - I don't know of any platform that combines all such services...Fiverr would be the closest perhaps. the only risk here - or issue that would need to check - is if this service has a need in 'regular' times, when the Corona passes in a few months. Good luck I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

Hi This is a classic market place SaaS (Software as a Service) and the classic answer for getting both sides is quality content, quality marketing, and word of mouth (which you'll get once you provide quality service). The key issue, BEFORE you think about how to get them to your platform is to first create a POC (proof of concept) to make sure that people want to use such a marketplace - doing this is fairly easy and will save you hundreds of hours, and tens of thousands of $ building the website. I've helped numerous startups working on marketplaces and would be happy to advise you on doing the POC (and connecting you to a development company if you want one). I can also help you create the basic landing pages for the POC. Good luck I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

I think a better way to think about it would be to choose based on your own skillset. Blogs can succeed or fail in any subject matter, but what sets you apart is the value you provide. Choose a topic that you're most knowledgeable about and that you can provide a unique perspective on. And, even more important, don't limit yourself to blogging. It's a lot easier to go viral on TikTok right now than it is to go viral with a blog post – so by all means start the blog, but amplify it by repurposing your content for other platforms. If you write a great blog article on a DIY subject, you can repurpose that into a TikTok instructional video and link back to the blog. That way you're amplifying the reach of both your platforms and doubling your chances of getting traffic.

I cofounded a development agency that's grown to over 150 employees, so I know this topic intimately. First off, you're on the right track. Even recognizing that you want to get yourself out of the minutiae puts you way above most founders. What you need to do is learn to delegate. The trouble is, that's a lot harder than it sounds. It sounds like right now you're wrapped up in doing a lot of daily tasks. That's a natural impulse for a founder – after all, you want things to be done right. But here's an exercise I'd recommend: make a list of every single task you have to get done within the course of a day. Everything on your to-do list. Then, circle every item on the list that only you are capable of doing – so only circle the items that no other person could do. Chances are, you'll circle very few, if any tasks. Now for all the items that aren't circled, write the names of anyone else who could do the task next to it. Then, pick a person and delegate each task. It's that simple! Delegation is hard at first, but it's vital if you want to grow. Once you free yourself from minute detail work, you're free to think and act like an agency head and see the bigger picture. It's amazing how much clearer things get when you can give yourself more room to breathe. Trust me, you'll thank yourself for it.

Depends. Case 1 : You want majority shares to be within your close circle. Well, in this case, your friends and family control over 51% of shareholding. But this limits the amount of money you can raise as Investors only have 49% portfolio in your company. Now, if you want this business to be scaled upwards, this will be a limiting factor. On the other hand, your inner circle will call the shots. Case 2 : You are ready to give a majority to investors outside your close circle. In this case, you and you only should control 21% of equity shares in your company. This will increase the fund infusion capacity of investors. But, the risk in this case will be when few investors, together, own majority shares thereby limiting your control. So, bottom line is all about your control on the company. Hope this answers your question.

Don't ask them to be your partners. If one of them showed interest, then that's a good sign. You need someone passionate enough to work with you long term. See if they complete what is missing on your side of the equation, skills wise. Not just financially. See if you are compatible personality wise because you will be fighting a lot over stuff and you don't want someone who can't handle that. call me if you need more help

I think if you are hoping to make a living off Clarity, you should place your energy elsewhere. Use the Answers section to train on how to answer real questions you will receive from clients in the marketplace, whether on Clarity, other platforms for through face to face activities. Improve your ability to communicate clearly and in a manner that showcase your expertise, is impactful and is persuasive enough that it enages your audience to ask for more. Once that interest is at its peak, then you need to move in to close the deal, and make your business request.

Schedule 2 separate calls. The person books a call using the promotion link (or just set your hourly rate to 0), then, change the rate, and have them book another call for a time which is directly after the first one. Alternatively, let them book a paid 30 min call (at half your usual rate) and then talk for 60 minutes - so they’ll only be paying for 30min I’m actual fact. Good luck

Press release sites have always been so-so for me. I've used PR Newswire in the past and have had success with getting the release picked up. If it's a well-written press release with an interesting hook, you can definitely get traction. The question is what is the traction for and does it actually convert into sales. So I'd say it depends on your goal – if all you care about is eyeballs and your press release is good, go for it. But make sure you've thought about how best you can spend your time/money to make sure there's not a better outbound approach you could be taking.

What are you looking to do? I am a fan of MeetFox for scheduling and billing for 1:1 coaching sessions. www.shaunnestor.com/recommends/meetfox For training software, there are a million options depending on what you need. I am playing with Wishlist Member right now. Teachable is a decent option for getting started quickly and inexpensively. Let me know what - specifically - you're looking for and I can probably recommend something more fitting.

I am really excited by this space, not just at the consumer level with Calm and Headspace, but also at the enterprise level with startups like Ginger and Modern Health. If you're looking to scale customer or client acquisition, I'd suggest the following: 1) Content Marketing — I would take your knowledge as an expert, and write long-form articles on the topic. You then submit the articles to major publishers. I have found this to consistently be the most inexpensive method of acquiring large scale awareness at a low cost. Ads can be tough to make work if you haven't got a decent capital backing for a product like this. 2) Video Marketing — Youtube loves this category of content, and if you can give out a preview of your program, you could start by doing some internal video production of you speaking — people listen to experts that can communicate with charisma. If you have this quality, just keep speaking on the topic consistently, and post three times per week on Twitter, Youtube and Medium. If you'd like to talk further on the above, feel free to book a call with me, or see more of my work in video at www.vidico.com

I haven't spent much time in the philanthropy world, but I've worked with a lot of digital product startups to help them refine their pitches and raise millions of dollars in funding, ranging from seed stage late-stage startups. It sounds like you have two separate, but related, questions here: 1. How to make money from a free directory site 2. What you need in order to raise money to build the site For the first question, there are many ways to monetize a free-to-use digital product. You can charge for advertising slots on the platform, collect and sell user data, set up affiliate links for revenue sharing, use a freemium model... really the options are endless. It ultimately depends on your target user. For the second question, the answer is really that it depends. It could be, but looking at what you're written, I'm unclear on what your differentiator is. Why will people use your site as opposed to another one? Is it simply that you would be the biggest after having built the site? Why should investors go with you as opposed to another entrepreneur? What's your plan to attract traffic and users? From just what you've written here, I don't think this is enough to raise money – but if you've got a more thorough plan or you have some other differentiator or key advantage things could look different. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to set up a call to discuss this further. Either way, wishing you luck!

Before you ask money you will need to build something quick and dirty (MVP) and try to get few users to see if your idea can fly. Truth to be told that it’s going to be near to impossible to get funding unless your idea is A. High-Impact for global change where nonprofits like Chan Zuckerberg Initiative or Gates Foundation can fund it. B. The data you collect is so valuable that you can sell the data to make money. C. You can get ridiculous amount of traffic to generate ads revenue. In all the cases you still will need to build something while keeping things bootstrapped. I highly recommend you to build a desktop/web directory app vs native app to test your idea. Use open source technology like WordPress. Google “best wordpress directory theme” and you will find something suitable for your need.
