Hello! You need to consider where UI and UX come in and why. Typically, by the time UI/UX is designed and then reviewed a range of activities must've taken place, e.g.: (1) Someone defined the proposition, product or service which the UI/UX is supposed to satisfy. (2) Someone created a project around the UI/UX design and implementation. (3) Someone created a blueprint for integrating the UI with existing systems and thought of ways to streamline UX across products or services. If you provide services in any of the above, they will constitute a value-add to UI/UX. One obvious angle to play, if you're doing reviews, would be to try and determine why UI/UX fails to achieve what your client wants. This presents a broader methodology improvement opportunity for your client - a valuable lesson. More than happy to share some of my experiences delivering UI/UX changes as parts of digital transformation. I've also authored standards and guidelines for UI/UX design for large corporations so know what can go wrong and what would sell as a complementary service to your reviews.

Setup your business as a pass through. You run the transactions + charge a fee. Likely, for the businesses you mention, they'd be happy to pay a premium fee... as you will be the only payment processor to accept their transactions.

It depends on your budget. Companies like Nielsen or other international market research companies had offices in these cities and they offered professional research services. However, many successful teams in the region would build their own research projects in-house. If you are in a budget, you can try free tools like Statista to get a sense of the publishing market. If you want to dive deeper, you can come across with a bunch of Chinese content (e.g. http://ipubl.com/site/gjcb/bg/info/2017/840.html ), which you may need some help; for user interview services, that is not as popular as the west, it may be better if you just hire some part-time helpers to conduct interviews for you. Marketing channels are highly diverse, there are lots of "agencies" in the region claiming they offer "all-in-one" packages, but they are more focused on executions/ creativity inputs instead of the actual outcome, which should be aware of.

Hi First of all, the fact that you're asking this question is very good (stage one of the solution). Second, without hearing more details, it is very difficult to provide an educated answer. Therefore, I am willing to offer you the following: 1. Send me more details of your business + what you think the problem is + what you think could be a solution (I intentionally want to hear YOUR take on things since business owners usually have good insights to their own industry). 2. I will then probably follow up with 2-3 clarifications questions. 3. Then, if I feel that I can be of value, I will suggest a short call during which I will give you my advice. If I don't think I have any valuable advice, I'll just give you my humble opinion by email, and all the above is free of charge (except for the few minutes that you have to invest in writing the emails). I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, and I'd be happy to try and help you. Best of luck

A really good place to start is by listening to Neil Patel and Eric Sui’a podcast called Marketing School. Few other resources are: - Brian Dean YouTube channel Backlinko - Moz.com and their YouTube channel on whiteboard Friday’s - Matt Diggity and his blog - Lion Zeal Podcast - Searchengineland.com

Hi, Before giving you the practical tips, it is important to first point out 3 things: A) You should be 100% sure that you really need a co-founder (versus using a freelancer or employee which may be sufficient). B) Investors usually take a deep look into the team and prefer founders that have worked together for some time and/or know each other for a minimum period (preferably those who’ve already experienced difficulties together before). C) There is a reason that CBInsights found that the third most common reason cited for startup failure is “not the right team” and that the most common agreement that I draft as a startup lawyer/mentor is a ‘separation agreement’. The reason being that most co-founders eventually split – and not under nice terms. In most cases, freelancers/employees can do what you need (perhaps the only exception is having a CTO when trying to raise capital from VC’s – and even this depends on the type of startup). Regarding a limited budget, I am not sure why you feel that you need money to find a co-founder? If you have an idea/business that you truly believe in, and it has potential, you should be able to pursuad people to join you (in exchange for share/equity and/or future profits). How to find a co-founder: 1. Go to networking events - some of which are dedicated to “co-founders dating/matching” - try www.meetup.com for this. You can also try www.founderdating.com or www.cofounderslab.com or http://www.founders-nation.com or www.founder2be.com 2. Take part in chats in relevant forums (depending on the type of co-founder you’re looking for). 3. Consider joining accelerator/incubator programs for startups/entrepreneurs - some of them connect between founders. 4. Contact head of programs at universities and tell them what you’re looking for. Today, many universities and cities have startup programs with a lot of talented participants (or speakers) who might be the perfect co-founder for you. 5. Talk to friends and family and let them know that you’re looking. This helps expand your network. Post a message on www.LinkedIn.com . I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs. I'd be happy to help you. Good luck

Are you tracking when you sell them and the value of them? What kind of POS system are you using?

Over 8,000 children's books have been funded on kickstarter successfully (https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/publishing/children's%20books).

So, you are looking for leads to call you. That's a very good idea. Cold calling is not the solution. Don't get me wrong, cold calling works. I have successfully built a company using cold calling. But that was some time ago and now it's extremely difficult to get people on the phone. The solution to this is lead generation using LinkedIn. You can search for your ideal customers, request a connection and once accepted start a dialogue. This works. I have personally closed over 6 figures in business this way and my students and my clients as well. LinkedIn can also be used to make people connect with you and request your help. I am happy to jump on a call with you and explain how this all works in detail and answer all your questions.

There are two main considerations. First, if you are selling products to U.S. residents located in various states, you may be liable to collect state sales tax depending upon the residency of your customers. Second, you may be liable for federal income taxes on your net earnings if it's determined that you are engaged in a U.S. trade or business and have income effectively connected with that U.S. trade or business. The rules for determining whether U.S. source income is effectively connected income are quite complex with many nuances. For the sale of inventory in the U.S., the old "title passage rule" used to apply. If title to goods passes outside of the U.S., income from sale of the goods was deemed foreign source and not subject to U.S. federal taxes. The recent tax law changes under the TCJA have modified these sourcing rules. If products are manufactured outside of the U.S. and then sold to U.S. customers, the proceeds are foreign source and not subject to U.S. tax. You also need to be mindful of the treaty provisions that may apply. The U.S. and U.K. have an income tax treaty which provides that a U.K. company's business profits will not be subject to tax in the U.S., unless the U.K. company operates a permanent establishment in the U.S. What constitutes a permanent establishment depends upon the specific facts and circumstances of your situation, so it's important to consult with a knowledgeable tax advisor and consider all of these issues.

Hi First, I must give some credit to your expert as I agree with most of what he said. What you are describing is a common dilemma, and indeed your chances are much higher if you have one of the three elements the expert mentioned. Companies are reluctant to pay / purchase / invest only in an idea. Additionally, even if they do show interest, you will have to expose the idea to them, at which stage they may decide to make use of it without your involvement (an NDA/confidentiality agreement can only protect you so much, and most companies won't agree to sign one). Bottom line: 1. if you only want to sell the idea, your pitch email needs to be really good, and your NDA needs to be airtight. 2. I would consider offering that they develop it, and you get a commission in return. 3. You have a better chance if you validate the idea and collect some data. You don't have to develop the actual product in order to do this. I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, and I'd be happy to help you with the email or in validating the product/service. Good luck

My answer might seem a bit too simple, but anyway: why not put both - your direct number for people who prefer to first 'get to know you' before scheduling a consult, and the Clarity widget for people who already know what they want, and just need some quick advice. Just take into account that if you add the clarity widget, and you don't have any reviews yet (or have reviews but they're negative), then maybe it would be less wise to add the widget. If you are new to clarity and want to get some reviews, you could use your VIP code to offer free calls - this way you get happy clients, and you build your reputation on clarity by getting more reviews. I hope this helped. Good luck

The laws of United Arab Emirates, like every other foreign nation would require every company to register before doing business. However, you can establish a liaison office or enter into a partnership agreement with a Dubai based IT firm who will help you in marketing, selling and building your App services to kick start and such liaison officer will conduct all your businesses like you are there and remit all funds to the parent company in your home country. I can legally guide you further on this procedure, if you can extend a call to me. Thanks.

I actually did this business. The short answer is the vendor landscape is super-varied, and that means you have a ton of different companies to deal with, each of whom tends to be small and doesn't have a very good vendor support operation. Since we didn't want to carry inventory we did drop shipping, but the margins were not ideal. It was possible, but the realities of the business, at least several years ago, were difficult operationally. I could talk to you in detail about it if you like.

Hi, My answer is based on my experience with clients in this field. Nevertheless, seeing how this question is about the future, I wouldn't presume it to be 100% accurate. In the near future (5 years): an increase in the amount of 'players' offering online courses and increased growth of the existing ones (in most subjects, except for those which are already saturated). Later on (7-10 years): the closing of the smaller players and/or the buying out of smaller players by bigger ones (or companies not in that field but who provide complementary services). Good luck

There are a couple that comes to mind. Check out Paddle.

Good question. 6% churn per month on $5M is $300,000. Seems like a lot of money to me without even knowing your cost of customer acquisition. It's like trying to fill a leaking bucket. A little uptick in churn rate will have a HUGE NEGATIVE impact on your valuation: you reduce your LTV and ARPA while you have to increase your total sales and marketing costs just to stay even. I've done built a lot of financial models and analyzed many recurring revenue businesses ranging from SaaS, B2C, B2B, telephone companies, mutual funds, retirement plans, Netflix, LinkedIn, and cable TV among others. Set up a call with me and I can walk you through how churn rates, valuation, and other variables tie together in a financial model.

It's disheartening to know your plight! Don't beat yourself up over it so hard. But you should know that you are not alone in this. Lemme begin with similar qualms. I was agitated over the 'get rich quick' scheme over the internet. The internet as we know is filled with scams. Those voracious over getting quick result might fall prey into a well planned financial hoax. Then we ask: is there actually something genuine on the internet? Offcourse yes! I have been in this for over 2years now... And I have proven records to show. In essence, I know a significant wealth ground breaking tools. E.g are the crypto airdrop and bounties. This venture would enable you get free money by doing simple and quick tasks. Should you be interested in knowing more or other options, hit me up for a conversation and mentorship

If you look at current stats for tourists and travellers, they want fast, technical experiences. Over 60 - 70% want instant bookings by looking on their mobile and getting the confirmation they need. You will attract more individuals by giving them the user experience they are looking for. With resorts who want to book themselves, you will want to look at putting together a contract deal that compromises for both sides, such as you calling in the bookings once they are made. They may want to do the bookings themselves, but remember, you are also marketing and showcasing them on your site so it should give you plenty to leverage with.
