If this isn't a spam question... There are basically 3 ways to get better at writing: 1. Read. 2. Practice writing. 3. Learn the technical side of good writing. For reading you can read anything and it's actually a good idea to mix both fiction and non-fiction. Obviously if you want to get good at writing one particular thing, read more of that. For practicing writing you just need to write - a lot. Some of it will be rubbish. Some of it will be OK. Some of it will be amazing. The more you write, the more people read, and the more feedback you get, the better you will be at writing. For the technical side you can hope on any learning platform like Udemy and go through a writing course. Pick one that matches the genre of what you want to write about and then go through it. You'll learn the dos and don'ts, how to structure your pieces, how to properly edit, research, proofread and everything else. I personally like Dr Clare Lynch's courses on Udemy.

It is unclear what type of business you provide ("corporate rental business"). If you better describe the business, I'd be happy to give you some tips on how to provide them.

Hi This is indeed not an easy situation and I can understand your frustration. I could mention the various ways you could have avoided this, but this wouldn't be helpful at this point, so I'll skip it. Just please note that next time you develop something, talk to me before so I can help you prevent this situation. What CAN be done: 1. Send him one last email with both a 'carrot' and a 'stick' - meaning that if he gives you all the updated code you'll pay him X (do not pay anything upfront) (this is the carrot), and if he does not offer the code that you plan have spoken with a large private detective firm in China who also does cyber crime and you intend to invest your last remaining amounts on finding him and bringing him to justice for breach of agreement (before sending the email, make sure that you have backed up all copies of the code/materials and changed all passwords). 2. If you tell me more about the service/app, and if I think it has value, I can connect you with another company which might be willing to complete it for you in exchange for shares in the company. You would only have to pay for the drafting of the legal agreement. 3. Find another tech-co-founder who can complete it for you. There are many platforms for finding co-founders. Try look online, or during a call I could provide you with the information. Good luck I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

Exciting. Good luck. Information that would help (most are known but work): 1. Testimonials - super important. If you can get past clients to agree to give a short video testimonial - even better. 2. Logo/names of happy clients. 3. Easy to understand description of your services. 4. quick and easy contact method. 5. Why you're different to all the other agencies. 6. A unique offer - something that the others aren't - for example: 100% money back guarantee (not for the clicks just for the service fee). This clearly shows that you're confident in the quality of your skills/services. 7. A bit about you/the team - if you don't mind - add real pictures. Not just the regular serious profile pics...something personal. Don't forget about your TOU and PP and GDPR compliance (a headache but better dealing with it rather than paying fines later on). Good luck! I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

Two years is a lot of lost time fighting over $1000. The $1000 is only worth fighting over if the lost time involved could potentially less than $1000. Most credit card terms of service only allow for a short window to file + resolve disputes... sometimes 6 months... usually 3 months... so it's unlikely you can get this handled through normal channels. Alternative: If the $1000 is really worth continued time spend, then draft a letter to Barclay's CEO + all board members stating the problem + the exact resolution you'd like, which in your case will likely be a $1000 card balance credit. Tip: In the future, use PayPal, where you can more easily dispute charges.

I've been working with information products and online masterclasses for close to a decade now. You basically have a few options: 1. Host it yourself. 2. Host it on YouTube. 3. Host it on a MOOC, Udemy or something similar. The big differences between the 3 are pricing, control and setup. Pricing: If you host somewhere that isn't your own platform then you have very little control over pricing and how much you can charge. This is why you see masterclass creators charging $200-300 for courses but Udemy creators have their content sold for $10. Control: With your own platform you'll be able to control how the customer experience and navigation flow looks and feels. You'd also be able to set up the credit/a la carte system for payment. On other platforms you'll be limited. Setup: To host on your own platform requires a certain amount of technical know-how and there are also a lot of moving pieces - you'd have to setup web hosting, video hosting, some kind of cart or product delivery system as well as payment processing.

Not my exact area of expertise but we went through something similar here in Asia where sellers rushed to clear stock before the government stepped in with price and export controls. If you have the logistics set up already then you could quickly sell them on: * Facebook marketplace. * eBay. * Amazon yes, but run the risk of them closing down your account. * Local classifieds and Craigslist. * Reddit though just be wary of each subreddit's advertising policies. As for how to package them, the most popular configurations I have seen here are 5-packs or 10-packs as they need to be changed on a regular basis.

Your question is clear and understandable, but you either need to pay for the services, or give away equity - talented and trustworthy people won't work for free - nor should they. The only question that remains is how can you develop the platform while paying less or giving away less equity. Answers: 1. found a co-founder whose only role is the development of the platform for a relatively low amount of equity and no voting/management rights. 2. Pay beginner programmers who are looking to gain experience (cheaper costs). 3. I know a development company that might be willing to create the platform for you in exchange for a relatively low amount of equity. Additionally, you can draft the agreement so that the equity is given in stages - based on the work that you do. the only costs that you would have is for drafting the legal contract because they insist on having their lawyer do the legal work and he charges payment (half upfront and half after the work is complete). The programming company also offers a "buy-back" option - this means that if within x amount of months you want to buy back your shares, you can do so, but at double the value of the programming costs. Let me know if this is relevant. Good luck I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

U can look at Angel.co or u can read this https://medium.com/@chris_boucher/top-10-best-online-platforms-to-find-an-investor-for-your-startup-b7c1ac38a5b7

Several years ago, I manufactured product and stumbled upon a website called RangeMe. I assume there are others like it. With this platform, I could post my products and their wholesale cost and margins. Then, retailers and distributors could see my products and choose whether or not to engage with my brand. I'm sure the process has changed a little since I last used it in 2017, but it was very helpful for my in finding new wholesale accounts.

Best to explain why you're asking + provide a URL explaining your purpose/business. Many times successful prefer to remain anonymous. You're asking for highly private information to be posted in a public forum.

Hi, Legitimate question. Business wise, it would not make sense to train someone who you know - in advance - is going to be a competitor. That said, there are so many competitors in the industry that you are talking about, so this makes what your partner is doing a little less strange. The ideal solution would be to condition the little brother's training and involvement on the following: 1. a minimum time investment in your company - meaning he has to devote x amount of work hours (with no payment or minimum wage). 2. You get a percentage in any future profits he generates through his future business (assuming it is indeed in the same industry/field). So basically, you will be training someone to setup a company in which you also get percentages from the profits, which makes his training an investment, and not a competitor. on a personal note: you could have written your question in 1/4 of the length/space - this is something that you should work on if you're going to be dealing with customers and people (please don't be offended, we learn from feedback, not praise).

This is a question better suited for stackoverflow. If you message me the schema for the two tables I could give you the exact query that you want.

Here’s what you could do using Linkedin: 1. Find and create a list of target prospects: There are 550 million LinkedIn users. With LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you can create a list of target people who *fit the right criteria* of prospects that might buy your bathroom product. 

 You can filter by GEOGRAPHY (e.g. country, state, etc), INDUSTRY (e.g. Hospital & Healthcare, Health, Wellness & Fitness), JOB TITLE (e.g. Director of Facilities, Head of Janitorial Services, Chief Procurement Officer, etc). In seconds, you could have an immediate overview of all the people you could possibly sell your bathroom product to.
 2. Contact and message them: Now that you have you list you can start doing ‘prospecting’ or ‘outreach’. You can use LinkedIn to directly message these people and tell them about your bathroom product.
 3. LinkedIn advertising: If you prefer not to spend time contacting people directly, you could instead create LinkedIn adverts that advertise your products that are only shown to the people that you found in Step 1.

This will save you the effort of having to manually message hundreds - or thousands - of people (as in Step 2). Instead, you can pay to display adverts instead. This will save you time, however it will cost you more money upfront as you have to ‘pay per click’ or ‘pay per impression’ for your ads. Am happy to talk further about all the ways you could use Linkedin to do some target marketing. Book a call if you’d like more advice! :)

The answer to your first question is pretty simple. Basically you are talking about doing an exclusive deal on a (hopefully pattented) item, or just slapping another companies logo on an item which would be a custom label or private label. White label usually refers to SaaS. Cases are all around you. This just happened to me at Walmart. The Ragu brand and GreatValue brand were right next to each other and were in the same jars. Ragu more than likely did a private label spaghetti sauce for Walmart's GreatValue brand. You can also Google - "top private label brands" or other variations of this search phrase.

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.

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.
