There is no place to invoice the caller. The system automatically charges you and sends the caller an invoice.

From invention to innovation for value creation

I could provide some feedback about the main questions, however I can not answer the follow up question because I do not know about construction. What I could tell is that construction materials and design affect the 'sustainability" of a business. To manage the energy consumption of a building there are "mainly" two variables: the design of the building (lay out, materials, location, orientation, etc.) and the active energy management that you do once the building is up and running (light control, temperature control, energy generation (by the building, through, for instance, solar panels), etc.). The goal of any building is at least to be energy balance zero (energy consumption = energy generated). However if a building can generate more than what it consumes, even better, because the remaining energy can be sold to the market or to microgrids. Hope this helps.

1. Organic traffic through great content. 2. Classic (but targeted) paid online marketing - Facebook, Google etc - depending on your target market (this method will be tough/expensive because you're competing against the bigger players who have huge budgets - so it's less advised) 3. Endorsements from social influencers - seeing how you're a new brand, this would be your best option - to get as many social influencers to promote your product. Make sure that their followers are your correct target market. Another advantage of this method is that you can offer them your products as payment which might save you some money. 4. Advertising stunt - try think of an 'out of the box' stunt that you can do that will catch media attention - nothing better than free advertising. You have to be creative though.

Hi This is a classic market place which requires marketing to both sides simultaneously. I would start by selecting the most popular categories/fields that the users (employers/companies) are looking for (based on Google Adwords Keyword Tool or maybe checking Fiverr - if their services are the similar to the ones you plan to offer). Then, do intensive, but focused/targeting marketing* for freelancers, and the employers/companies in the above fields that you chose. Repeat the above process for the top 5 fields/categories and then either repeat or move on to the next categories. The challenge with marketplaces is that you need to have a decent amount of freelancers and employers at the same time – and therefore it is better to focus on a limited amount of fields/services in the beginning and then slowly expand. As for the actual marketing methods, this really depends on the types of freelance services that you’re offering and your budget, but the classics are LinkedIn, Facebook, Indeed and specific forums. I’m actually currently consulting someone on launching a market place and would be happy to help if you need further advice. I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses.

Hi. good questions. Answers: 1. Yes and No - it depends on what you're developing. If it is a cyber product or software, then investors would (usually) expect you to have in-house developers (meaning programmers which are part of the core team). If it's a website that offers services or an app, and you prove to them (through metrics/statistics) that you don't need an in-house programmer, it should be a problem. 2. I can't name any known companies at the tip of my hat, but I have advised hundreds of startups and many of them outsourced their development. If you need, I can connect you with a development company that selects 1-2 startups a year and does development + support for them free of charge, in exchange for equity/shares in the company. Your only costs would be the legal fees for the agreements. I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

I don't think the service you are envisioning is a new concept, but it might not exist at scale as a packaged Saas product. If you have not encountered it yet and you are actively looking for it, it could mean that it either does not exist yet or there is a big opportunity to become that authority in that space. If this is something you are looking to build, let's chat!

No need for a "Pro". Just call the IRS + ask for an EIN to be assigned. If your business entity qualifies for an EIN, the IRS will assign you one. If you do hire a Pro, the cost for their service should be $0, or billing for the number of minutes they're on the phone with the IRS to freely assign an EIN.

Hi First of all, well done for building a business - getting users and downloads - this isn't an easy thing to do. The best option (based on what you mentioned) for selling your app, would be to use one of the following websites: 1. https://www.businessesforsale.com/search/websites-for-sale 2. https://www.trustiu.com/en/websites-for-sale 3. https://flippa.com/apps 4. https://www.sellmyapp.com/ If you want someone to take it over for equity, you could use the above websites, or look for a co-founder - using the below websites: 1. www.founderdating.com 2. www.cofounderslab.com 3. http://www.founders-nation.com 4. www.founder2be.com Whether it's a buyer or co-founder, if the value of the transactions is about $2,500 USD, then remember to sign a professional agreement and execute the transaction via the right stages (I'm happy to help with this if you need).

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.

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.

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
