Hi there, Having started my consulting journey a few months ago and received paid clients, there several ways to drive traffic to your profile (and to answer your question, when you start out, yes you have to drive your own traffic to your profile). The first place to share this website is through your LinkedIn profile if you are comfortable doing so. LinkedIn is the leading business platform that allows you to network with many professionals and potentially drive traffic to your clarity profile. If you have a professional website, I would also link your clarity.fm profile to that website. You also have to ask yourself, why would somebody want to visit my profile? What skills do I bring to the table that is of value to people? After answering those questions, you have to think about how to market to your target audience and grab their interests. At the beginning of your consulting journey, you need to be a "hunter" and aggressively network/seek out the right folks to build out your personal brand. After establishing your credibility, then people will start coming to your site. Happy to jump on a call and help you strategize. Best, Kevin

The easiest pitch would be to have a base retainer (say 1000$ a month) and then % of revenue increase since the baseline. It makes it easy for them and is far compelling cause you are now a revenue cost rather than a recurring sunk cost. The typical ecomm transaction has 10-12% margins? And then CAC etc has to be amortized. So you'll either have to pitch fora tiny sliver of topline or a % of profits - as that also aligns outcomes where the consultant just doesnt run promotions giving away all the margins and think short term. Given this math, id say 10K a month revenue seems a bit early. Might want to look at ecomm stores that are a bit further along the way, or use pre-recorded content on subscription to tackle this early market (as it potentially) can become your funnel.

yes, i know... a very great website where you can find hundreds of documents on any topic for free, but for that buy my consultancy service for 1 minute.

Hi This is a good and common question. The answer depends on numerous factors. Just to name a few: how complicated the project is, how talented the person is, do you want them solely as a service provider (who then leaves at the end of the project) or as a co-founder long term? Additionally, it depends on what the Coder wants (and not only what you want). 1. I suggest that you start by trying to "sell the dream" of your idea to potential coders and then once they show interest, ask them how many shares they want. Then, based on the above factors decide how many shares you're willing to give. 2. Whatever the amount is, be sure to: a. Allocate the shares/right to shares gradually (through vesting) and not all at once. b. Get a waiver regarding the IP rights and an NDA for confidentiality. c. Get copies of the progress as the coder advances. p.s.: if the project is interesting enough *you can send me a pitch/investors deck), I know a programming company that will do the programming (and provide support) for you - for free - in exchange for shares. Your only costs will be the legal costs for drafting the agreements via their lawyer. I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

Hi 1. I can draft an NDA for you or you can find numerous examples online (although they are not tailored to your specific needs, they should be ok if you want to save the money). 2. Most mentors/experts/investors don't sign NDAs - we/they work with too many startups and have usually heard your idea numerous times before and therefore don't want to be limited. Second, it takes too much time (consider that they/we speak to tens of startups every day...if we had to spend 30 minutes reviewing NDAs we wouldn't get any work done). 3. In 99.9999% of the cases no one will steal your idea. Everyone has ideas, what makes entrepreneurs unique is that they actually implement them. 4. Sharing your idea with as many people as possible will ultimately help you (they will give you feedback, they will tell you if it exists, they will tell you what to improve, and they will criticize you and try pursued you not to do it - and if you listen, then it means you shouldn't be starting a startup anyway). sorry for sounding 'tough' but all the above is the honest truth - and if you want to succeed ask for honesty, not praise.

Send me you c.v. and I'll review it (for free) and tell you how to improve it. If relevant, I will also refer it to a few people.

No one, including experts like myself, can really tell you if an idea is viable. The only way to really know is to validate the idea in the market.

Dear. there are many online tools/sites to analyze a website, technology, theme, plugins used. Try https://builtwith.com

There is an Israeli company/startup that specialized in this - Brayola - they recently got sold to another company (try Google them) - partnering / using their service would be one of your best options because otherwise you have to create your own system/technology which is both costly and time consuming because (as you said) each company/country has it's own sizes.

Yes. Sell products in their own jurisdiction. In other words, sell... US products on Amazon.com then Canadian products on Amazon.ca, etc...

We would need to calculate the total running wattage. It would also be useful to have the starting wattage for each component as it could restrict the number of components that can be turned on at once (or even the order in which they are turned on). Feel free to give me a call and we can walk through the generator sizing calculations.

Hi This is a good question. I think that the best use of your old email list depends on "how" you got the emails + "why" people gave them to you (at the time). Examples: did they buy a product? Sign up to a newsletter? Contact you? Based on "how"/"why" you got the emails, you can then reach out to them by providing them value (giving them something related to what they wanted when providing your email). For example: if someone bought a product, then it would be ok to offer them similar or complimentary products. If someone subscribed to your newsletter, send out an informational email (and perhaps gently include 1-2 products/services that you are offering). Important notes: 1. Remember to utilize the email you are sending out to its' fullest - invite them to become members, subscribe to your blog, or whatever other method to keep them engaged. You only have on shot. 2. The email should not be spammy - respect their time. 3. Allow for a clear and easy unsubscribe method and unsubscribe anyone who asks. 4. Use 'cool'* and friendly wording (and stay short and to the point) (* unless it's health products/services etc). 5. As for the open rate, this is a whole huge subject and not for this answer. I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you perfect the above advice.

10,000 email address is a good number. You can target them through multiple ways. You can upload the entire list along with first name, last name, location, contact number(if available), email id etc. on Facebook and can target them through Facebook and Instagram. The same can be implemented through LinkedIn as well. But LinkedIn will be bit expensive. You can add a remarketing pixel in the website and they can be targeted through Google as well.

Tip: You'll likely generate far more income, spread across far more clients, working freelance. I've been working as a Fractional CTO for decades. If 1x client drops out, there's another 10x on my waiting list. Or, if I require a cashflow boost, I just take on a few additional clients. Working for 1x client you're looking at a 6 figure income. Working for 100x clients, you can easily hit 7+ figures. Tip: Book calls with Clarity folks you have affinity with (their answers make sense). Provide them details of your experience. Ask them how they'd tool their offerings to produce whatever target income (monthly net) for a given amount of time (hours/week) worked.

Personally I stopped using amp pages. Sure, it speeds up your site a little bit if it's a blog but I feel they're a worst user experience than having your regular site load on a faster server. The reason you're most likely seeing a high bounce rate because if someone is reading on Google News they can scroll though though the amp articles by swiping.

Hi The concept is more or less as I explained in my answer here (on Clarity): https://clarity.fm/questions/6423/how-do-you-do-market-research After you schedule a call, you can send me the specific details of the venture (who are the service providers, what type of students, your business model, etc.) and then during the call I will explain to you, step by step, what is the most effective way to do your MVP. p.s.: just to be sure, you first need to validate your idea - this is like a mini MVP or Proof of Concept (POC).

Hi Jill, I am somewhat drawn to your question because of my own experience. Seems to me that you are the type of person who wants to raise your son as a hard working man. The type of man who doesn't take shortcuts. And that's it, tell him exactly that. Depending on how old he is, your first instinct might be to reprimand him and tell him that he is wrong. Rather, ask him questions that make him think about his choice of action. Questions that lead him to know what the repercussions of his actions are. Not only now, but in the near future too. Take some time out to sit with him tell him what resonates with you: 1. I know and trust you, and this feels like it is not you 2. Whatever effort you put into something, shows you exactly what you are made of, and how you can get better. I know that these are examples of what you may stand for. Your son needs to trust that his efforts are good enough and that if they don't meet his expectations, he can learn how to do things in a way that gets him his desired results and still remain true to himself and his values. Scope out some great tutorials even on YouTube that teach him how to concentrate or study, in a way that suits him and his interests. Remember, everything is much easier now. You can scope out some videos for yourself as well, that give you tips on how to support him and boost his self confidence. Your goal is to be the support structure that ensures that he believes in himself and his ability to work towards himself. If this sounds like the route you would like to take with him, please do reach out to me for a call.

I am a big fan of UpWork and codementor dot io Each offers a different approach to helping customers get coding done. Also, consider fiverr dot com if you have tools or solutions that you can package and sell.

There are Pros and Cons for both the approaches . Build vs Buy is always a decision that requires considerable moderation I am assuming that you are just starting your business , so with this assumption the following pointers may help a) what is the value add you bring with your job board b) what is the differential your job board will bring as compared to other job boards in the market So you have to weigh in against the following for Buy / reuse : no maintenance, can avail support , to some extent less effort and hence less cost but then you will have a generic job board , duplicate of other job boards For Build : Specific to your values,unique to represent your differential cons: maintenance, support, cost and may be time to market we can discuss this in detail if you like

First of all, the fact that you are talking about market validation is great. I've seen so many startups invest time and money, only to find that no ones wants/needs their product, or that they only want a certain aspect of it (whilst the startup spent money developing a whole bunch of other features), or that they aren't willing to pay the requested price. So you're already one step ahead. Also, the sooner you validate your product, the better! That said, the version you are validating needs to be representative of the end product, or else the validation isn't reliable. So, how should you validate it? The best way, is to see whether people are willing to pay for your product/service (in some cases, other actions may be considered a conversion for the validation stage). This is how you find that out: 1. Create a business model canvas (which is what all startups should start with before creating a business plan), 2. Setup a Wix or Wordpress website (this can be done for free / very low costs) or if your venture is a mobile app, then create what’s called a Clickable Prototype (“CP”) (a visual of the app in which the images change when you click – you can do so using the Apple Keynote tool or Microsoft PowerPoint). On the website, or the download page for the ‘app’ include the price of the product/service, and enable people to order/use it (YES, even if it doesn't really work/exist yet!). I am happy to explain how this can be done whilst still being fair to your potential customers (the people who click the "buy/download” button). 3. Determine your target market/customers. 4. Spend a small amount (say $100 - depending on your budget) validating the idea (promoting the product/service that you listed in the previous stage). This way, after only spending a very small amount, you will be able to know (if you did it right): a. Do people like your product/service b. Do people want/need your product (not the same as 'a'). c. Are people willing to pay for your product? (this being the most important stage) d. How much are they willing to pay? (you can check this by having 2-3 landing pages with different prices on each). 2 last important points: a) In order to rule out external factors like an unattractive landing page or advertising campaign, and assuming you have the time, create multiple landing pages / advertising campaigns, with different designs. b) During the above process, don't forget to check how much it costs you to get each user/customer to click the "buy" button. If for example each click on your promotion/advertisement costs you $2, and only every 10 people who click go on to the "buy" page - that means each sale is costing you $20. Then check what your average profit per sale is, and then you'll know if your service/product is worth pursuing (obviously there are additional factors like return customers, referrals etc, but you will get a good estimated/validation of the idea/business). I’ve successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs and I’d be happy to help you. Doing validation correctly can save you a lot of time and money. Before the call, and in order to make the best of your time, please send me more information about your product/service and your target market. Best of luck!

Facebook groups especially those skewed towards health issues.

This is an important question. Knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing when to not give up (it allows you to to save your time, money and efforts for other projects which may be more lucrative/profitable). That said, anyone who actually gives you an answer without taking a look at your website and analyzing it, shouldn't call themselves an expert. So if you want a proper answer - please send me the link. I will give you my bullet answer for free. Additional advice and insights will require a call.

Crypto trading platforms choose white label exchanges because it provides them several advantages such as faster launches, lower costs, and lesser risks. Designing and developing software from scratch requires a lot of engineering efforts. Alternatively, buying a trusted white-labeled exchange saves more resources and time. The modules are already developed by experts and eliminates the need for having in-depth technical expertise or experience. This is a highly beneficial practice followed by major trading platforms and is gaining huge adoptions. There are several cryptocurrency exchange development agencies that offer sophisticated exchange platforms with advanced features and high-end security. These platforms are easily customizable and can be facilitated to integrate changes without interfering with the technical infrastructure. They can be centralized, decentralized, P2P, or hybrid. It can be a fiat-to-crypto exchange or crypto-to-crypto exchange. They also integrate several payment processors and wallets. The core of white-labeled exchange solutions is market-ready. All you have to do is install, configure, and deploy the exchange in your platform. You can read more information from https://www.epixelmlmsoftware.com/cryptocurrency-exchange-software

This is a common problem. Here are some solutions (some more obvious and some less): 1. Make sure you hire skilled workers. This can be done by using service providers who you reached through recommendations (preferably from people that you know) and if you don't have any other choice: then based on reviews from freelancers websites (anything less than 5 stars usually means there was an issue with that service provider, but don't only check the star ratings, check the verbal reviews people left as well). 2. Structure the compensation in a layered way: a. small down payment (only if required) b. payments only after completion of each stage (completion = you've reviewed it and find it satisfactory). Always leave at least 30% for the end - which you only pay after you've reviewed and confirmed that everything is 100%. I even advise leaving another 10% for at least 1-3 months after the project has been completed - this isn't always possible - it depends how big the project is. c. Bonuses: if each section/the final project was done wit no mistakes (what you called "attention to details") they get a bonus. If there were mistakes, they 'only' get the original payment. 3. Be very specific with what you want in the document that you provide them and ask them to highlight (in green) each item once completed. 4. Test their work on a small project before giving them the big/main one. Preferably something that requires attention to details. 5. Sign a service provider agreement (I can draft this for you) which clearly defines the work done and more importantly, protects your IP (intellectual property). I can give you some recommendations if I know what type of product/service it is. Good luck I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.
