You will have to do market research to identify the right target for your app. What type of content are you offering? Typically this research should have been done before building the app. Market research is the first step in app planning and strategy.

The "old" multi brand furniture eCom have probably been doing it the traditional way. Buying inventory and reselling it online as they would in a retail store. But if you were to start a multi brand furniture ecom in 2020, I would recommend you start by reaching out to those established furniture stores and ask if they could dropship furnitures if you were to bring them new customers. You will be surprised most of them will be happy to work with you as long as you bring new customers. On your end, it's a win win because you will get the same multi brand furniture for your store, without having to hold all the inventory. Margin for furniture can go from 30%-300% - It really depend from where you are sourcing them and if you want to be a more affordable or luxurious furniture brand. Hope that help!

Innovation and productivity - let's make it happen
I don't know as I have not earned any yet. It has been just a few days since I have joined but I will make some observations. 1. Number of active users on Clarity is not clear(no pun intended). 2. Answers would seem the logical way to generate demand but are often asked by people who don't understand the need to invest in quality information and planning (might as well ask on Quora). 3. The should be a way to monetize messaging because some users tend to be more comfortable with the method of interaction.

I think you'd have a good market if you started with hotels like Ace, etc. who want to be trendy and using local consumer brands. There are probably several ways to monetize this. 1) Work with the hospitality companies to curate the brands that they want to represent their company. You can charge as a service provider for this. 2) Work with the consumer brands and push the products on hospitality spaces. You can charge as a marketing agency. 3) Both options above also leave room for you to monetize as an affiliate (take kick-backs for sales generated by your service). I think it was Ace that was also selling the products that they were using to guests. (ex. if you liked the soap, towels, robe, etc. you could buy them through the hotel.) You can an affiliate kick-back (probably shared with the hotel in this case) for every sale. These are just a few thoughts, but there are a ton of possibilities and I'd have to know more details about what you are thinking to advise better. Good Luck!

I own a digital marketing agency and have helped many businesses create and execute social media plans. I would not hire someone right off the bat for your type of business. It's much more efficient nowadays to hire an agency or freelancer to set it up for you with software. The software will run itself on a queue, recycling posts. When you have 200-300 evergreen posts, you don't need to create new ones every single day. The software will also be able to post separately to all your social media channels, each on their own timeframe. A few great ones are MeetEdge, eClincher, Hootsuite, and Buffer, just to name a few. Let's schedule a call if you need further direction. https://clarity.fm/davidsanchezrn

Do you have design staff in your team? I think the problem now is that no one is really buying clothes. You can sell services to at least keep minimal cash-flow coming in. Another thought as a Dad, is to pivot to baby and children's clothing. They keep growing virus or not. I've had to buy a size up twice now for my daughter since COVID started.

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!

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.
