Catch 22? Not at all...You need to project your weakness ( according to you) as a strength. Be open and bold about your online business. It is work experience and not a career break! You take that experience to the companies who are in the same line of business and you are very exciting for them. Please dont waste your time with recruiters. They have fixated ideas and mandates and can rarely identify or appreciate real talent. You need to get rid off your baggage you are carrying in your head. Your non-profit work would never become a business as your target customers cant afford to pay. Keep it that way and continue doing good karma. Join relevant LinkedIn groups based on your business and connect with like minded people. Target businesses in the same domain and directly contact them seeking appointments with hiring managers. Go as an entrepreneur and explore synergies. There is no shame in saying that your business did not work. But analyze why. If you feel that it is only because you did not promote it actively, then please go ahead and promote the hell out of it. Being an entrepreneur is the best work experience any employer can get as you would know the entire business cycle. You never know, your promotion, done in the right way may actually create more jobs!

What are some of the things users are saying that show you it's hard for them to understand the system? Do you have any consistency in areas where people are having trouble? Are you using any tools to track conversion rates through your funnel, and have those metrics gotten worse since your redesign? Feel free to book time with me if you want to dig in.

Hi, great question. You determine the value of the business before the partner joins, then you determine the value of what they bring. You then issue new shares to them.

To answer your question directly, the best way to figure our the optimal revenue model is by doing exactly what you're doing right now: evaluate the trends, challenges in the market and calculate how much it costs to build your user base relative to the revenue (potential) they bring in. Commonly if your CAC is out of alignment people start by focusing on the tactics through which they acquire (which to be fair is only natural.) I though like to start on the custom side and work my way backwards. Are you targeting the "right" customers relative to your opportunity in the market. Start by focusing on this question first and making sure you're targeting the right market for your app/service. Next, I would see if you can fractionalize that market further down into a more specific/narrow subset of potential customers. This should allow you to maximize what you are producing in terms of revenue potential and also cut down on the acquisition costs side since you can focus your nozzle more directly towards the target. The bottom line is dont overlook an opportunity to make sure your target market is clearly defined and confirmed/validated. And dont be afraid to question potential false-positives (i.e. just because someone will buy your service doesn't make them necessarily the ideal customer.) try to create multiple layers and variables of filtering that help you make sure you've got the right group of people in your sights.

At first you should add Trust Seals if you haven't already. The next thing to do is get a few Instagram influencers to promote your product. User Generated Content (UGC) is a great trust builder. You should generate UGC from your retargeting campaigns as well. Also if I may ask why are you not running Facebook ads to the store. Also are you running Search network ads or Google Shoppiing ads right now?

There are various other app stores on the online market where you can upload your app. According to One Platform Foundation, if an app is submitted on other relatively less popular stores, it will increase the expected downloads 200% more compared to Google Play. These are some very good app stores that you should consider: --GetJar --SlideMe --Opera Mobile Store --AppsLib --Amazon Appstore --AppBrain Participating in app awards is the most recommended channel and I would highly suggest you take advantage of it. It can give you tons of press, exposure, reviews and plenty of downloads.

1.Think About What Excites and Energizes You This one's the first obvious step—we all want to enjoy and actually like our careers. (Perhaps the biggest sign you're on the wrong path is if you dread talking about your job.) While passion isn't the only requirement for being content in your career, many would say it's still essential, if only because passion is what keeps you going even through the tough times. 2. But Also Keep in Mind What You're Good At Maybe you don't feel that passionate about any specific career—or you love multiple areas and can't decide on just one. Then it's time to think about your personality and focus on the skills you have. "Don't do what you love. Do what you are 3.Use the G+P+V Formula The perfect career for you would most likely fit the G+P+V formula, which stands for Gifts + Passions + Values. Consider your strengths and passions, as we've noted above, and your values—what's nonnegotiable about the way you work? U are on the right path if u have the 3 point based on the above formula

Stripe can help you with that

You can of course use analytics that will give you statistics, but will not answer "Why?". Gathering Customer Feedback is crucial and You have to be preprared for low response rates. For better understanding of Customers' interactions with Your site You can use tracking/heatmap solutions (i.e. Crazy Egg or Hotjar). But most important is to define goals and identify steps that lead to them - what do You expect Customer will do or act like? What needs to be done to acheive it? Then start monitor those steps, gather feedback, mae changes and see if this works looking at stats.

There are many different tools that you can use for free to help you and your team collaborate, create tasks, and measure progress. Here is a list of the tools that I have tested with clients and used myself: Workdo Eko Flowlu Bitrix24 Asana I have personally used all of these tools and am not a huge fan of Trello. You can play around with all of these tools free of charge for small teams. I think one of them may work better than Trello for you and you will not incur any costs. Each has their pros and cons but for the most part have similar functionality. I hope this helps!

There are so many answers to that question, but the critical thing is that you have to be tuned in to your organization's strategic goals. You have to know what the organization wants to accomplish -- and why --- before you can offer guidance on the best way to get there and how to measure your success. As an example...your marketing initiatives would be different if your organization's main goal is to increase your share in an existing market vs. expand your offerings in an existing market vs. enter a brand new market. At the risk of seeming overly promotional, I think you might find some of your answers in my content marketing blog. My focus is on cutting through "best practice" hype and focusing on what actually matters to the business. It's www.patttipodnar.com/blog/, and feel free to contact me with questions.

Most likely the best way to get funded in this situation is to approach independent investors. It would really depend on your business plan and whether or not you have an attractive business model. You could try to get connected with networks or consultants that have access to independent investors such as chambers of commerce, or consulting firms Global Strategy Consulting Services, LLC www.gscsconsulting.com or you could email gscsconsulting@gmail.com and someone will respond with ideas on how to get you funded.

As a FIFA Intermediary myself, B/R is all over social media. Instagram, Twitter, Snap, you can log in with your Facebook account. So it's fair to argue to have an expansive platform. They like platforms in the same ilk like S/B Nation, have grown from the fringes of sports reporting through using its platform in a reciprocal manner in which they actual engage responders to their comments section. What I think also must be understood is that they like S/B Nation have legitimized themselves by going after not only the freelance reporter but they are now a platform that can bring more established reporters. I would also research The Athletic its a fairly new platform but they are bringing in well established writers. And one more point they giving their writers very defined pieces of their platform. In other words the has a very defined niche...……….i.e. the writer is there to cover soccer in Seattle, or one of the NFL teams in New York. These writers use twitter to promote themselves and their work but it's also an easy promo for platforms like B/R.

Sure, there are all kinds of agencies you can hire. But outsourcing won't help if you're unsure what you're looking for. You say that your biggest difficulty has been to tap into the customer desire. Is that because you're unsure what the customer desires are, or because you don't know what kind of campaign would engage people with those desires? The first would require a market research specialist; the second would require a messaging specialist. While some agencies do both, they're not the same thing. No matter who does it, the most important thing (well, depending on the product) is to focus your messaging on benefits, not features. Let's say you sell a service that helps businesses identify all laws/regulations that pertain to their business, determines whether they're compliant, and, if they're not, guides them through what they need to do to get there. Those are the features. The benefit is that the business owner can sleep at night instead of worrying about losing the business due to a regulatory violation. So, in that case, your messaging might focus on sharing fun, relaxing times with friends and family instead of lying in bed, wide awake, and staring at the ceiling.

You use the title co-founder, which indicates a partnership and mandates that the tech hire (I'm assuming is the CTO) be provided with the perks and benefits of other co-founders. If you are using the term co-founder loosely and there is no formal co-founder designation in place, then wait 6 months to a year. Why? The tech hire was not part of the original team and equity is ownership. If you give equity it is highly expensive to buyout (think divorce settlement without a pre-nup). If you do give equity to this employee be sure to have a solid attorney draft the agreement.

The tool would be a data analytics tool such as google analytics. However, your churn would depend on where the bounce occurs in your funnel, but you have a problem somewhere in your marketing funnel. This can come from a variety of things, from as simple as better copy to less friction in the funnel. I want to help you work through your problem, call me so we can sort it out.

Marketing strategy! During the build of the product you should have been testing how it solves pain points for customers. This would help with clear brand and value alignment. As for acquisition, from the value alignment stage you should have a clear understanding of who your clients are, from their its clear messaging and targeting. Call me for more information.

Just reading this without context would make me say as well you should find another job. However, the truth is, no matter how motivated we are or ambitious, we all go through our ups and downs in the work cycle. No, matter how much you write your goals and tasks, it becomes a possibility. I would tell you before you quit your job, make sure nothing is going on in your personal life, take a vacation, and maybe think out why you don't want to do your work. You could be bored with it; you could not like your boss, perhaps you don't like the work. Either way, call me; I have been there too, I can help you sift through things!

I would need some clarity around this question, the last part of it doesn't make to much sense. However, the name of the game is seamless flow. Why not figure out the top 5 common pos systems and contact the POS manufacturer. Companies like square offer these type of integration. I'd love to help you sift through this more, so call me to help you get this resolved.
