Don't even think about monetization yet. You want to focus on first starting to capture this month's traffic - even just 1% - as email subscribers who you can continually message and Market to. Once you have someone as a subscriber, you can now email them a dozen times over a few weeks promoting your affiliate offer, increasing the chance that they'll convert -- after all, who is more likely to convert? Someone who just read a post or someone who opted in and received a dozen trust building emails promoting a product? If you have an email list built off of this traffic you could even promote multiple products over time! If you have three compelling offers, you can pitch all three in sequence, with breaks for education and information. You're right to want to monetize this audience. First and foremost: you want to capture this audience as subscribers to your email list.

I think you're looking at the low hanging fruit rather than digging for the gold that is surely inside these goldmine companies... What I recommend is to advise all of these startups is to master internet marketing. It's the one skill set that once mastered, can and should give rise to new business strategies that can achieve that which you really want, which is an exit at 10x - 100x whatever their current valuation is... Literally ask them and their teams to spend 4 hours a day minimum learning about internet marketing, starting with the fundamentals, the pirate metrics... AARRR - google it if you don't what these are.... Have all your startups declare these metrics, then have them focus on ONE of these metrics, set a goal that is achievable but shows real progress. Give them a goal for every quarter... And don't worry about anything other than these startups meeting these pass/fail goals

I have NO idea BUT... Here's a couple of things I would do if I were in your position and trying to find out. 1. Look at the questions on Quora related to this topic. 2. Look at the questions and topics being discussed in LinkedIn groups. 3. Survey the people you intend to give your talk to before creating the talk. 4. Search for the topic using Twitter search and Facebook search. 5. Go to Amazon, search the words "Crytocurrency" etc. and see what books have recently been released about the topic. 6. Find a really popular website for finance professionals and ask to run a survey to their audience through their mailing list, website etc. re Bitcoin. Use this survey info to inform your talk. If I were to pick just one, I'd go with the last one. Good luck with your talk.

The best day to launch your app is either Wednesday night or Thursday, because the iOS App Store changes features every Thursday and you may get featured that day as "New games..." "New app..." etc. Ideally all your marketing/PR/advertising efforts should start that day (Thursday) because Apple likes it when an app is being privately promoted at the same time it's being featured. Yes AdMob could work for you but please know that there are many other ad placement companies similar to AdMob that can work for you too. You need to see what kind of clients they have, if they match with your niche, etc. Usually this is a trial and error process, you start with several ads and you see which works and which doesn't, you improve, you cut them. etc. Good luck

Yes, it is possible. These are called Information Interviews. The key to keep in mind here is that some people are going to be happy to talk with you, and a few are not. Don't take the few personally: they don't want to talk to anybody. If you want a fast turnaround, call; if you can wait, send a letter. I suppose you have the option of an email as well, but those are easy to ignore. So let's say you were to simply call up companies, ask for the right person, and get talking with those you could connect with. Some would just tell you openly what was going on in their industry. Unbidden! Unprompted! Some people just want to be helpful. Some want to show off what they know. Let them. I'm sharing this with you so you understand that the world is not stacked against you. I had a client who was in Florida and worked a 9-5 so he couldn't make dials in his own time zone. We picked Colorado because it was a couple hours behind, and the roofing industry because it could use the marketing help he provided. Within a dozen dials, we had the marketing manager of a medium-sized roofing business on the line. And she just started telling us the pain points and state of the Colorado roofing industry! I could sell this information! So communicate with your target interviewees, and simply be honest with them. Tell them what you're looking to do, and ask them if they'd be open to sharing their knowledge and experience with you for 20 minutes, since you know they have a lot of value to share. It really is that easy. Some will say yes; a few will say no. But all you care about is those you say yes. The others are probably in companies that aren't doing well--clamming up is a sign of financial failure. You may have to book a talk time with them, ie. not right at the moment you make your first connection. That's fine. I've waited three months to interview people. They're busy, and they mean it when they put a date in their calendar. But enough will talk to you now. Fear is what stops nearly everyone. There's nothing to be afraid of here. If someone--and it's really unlikely anyone will--acts like a jerk, they're a jerk. It's nothing against you. Thank goodness they showed you so quickly! Get talking with the people who are open to talking with you.

Don't go for email software..Personally, I didn't find worth the expense.. Rather, you should create your own list which should be niche/focused and not something which everyone is using. If you cant, take professional help who can do that if you can share your target company, job titles, location etc. I am not trying to promote my services here,, but I can help people like you and can surely do a test run, if interested. You can validate the result and see it is more productive than subscribing to email software companies. Good luck..

The only 2 companies I have heard of that could do something like this are: 1-Airship: they have automated all the processes of dispatching, logistics, customer support, credit analyses, order fulfillment, etc on the backend. In the front end you just built your own e commerce website. It is plug & play and that easy. 2-Indemand. (Tryindemand.com) They built the order management, inventory system and dispatch on the back of a white label e-commerce site. They are focus on grocery stores so don't know how much it will fit your specific needs. (Disclosure I know both CEO's and have invested interests

My first question is "How do you monetize your blog?" If you don't know, then there's not much I can do for you right now. See, how you intend to monetize will drive the pre-qualification of readers. Meaning, who do you attract? If you monetize by having a store section, or sponsorship by retailers who sell online (who either pay you for advertising space or give you affiliate payments for customers you send over), then you definitely want readers who have demonstrated a comfort zone with buying clothes online. Otherwise, why bother? It's a too-uphill battle. Sure, you can get the readers, but then they won't buy because sourcing clothes online makes them nervous. If your blog gives them printable coupons they can walk into a physical retail store with, then you needn't worry about that. Though now, your concern is attracting readers who are local to these outlets. Nobody is going to drive 1000 miles to save 15% on a new suit. You really need to understand what you want your readers to DO before you begin producing content and attracting visitors. Otherwise, you'll spend your resources on the wrong things. Who do you partner with? What branding do you want? There's a huge difference between big and tall Men's Wearhouse and big and tall Versace. This goes for any readers of this answer who are tempted to ask a question: please provide more information in your write-up. We're not mind readers. We can't look into a crystal ball and see your exact situation. Give us more to work with, so we can provide a more detailed answer. We want to help you. And to do that, we need to know about your situation. A single descriptor sentence is not enough.

The best, most interactive and best UX design for a "book recommendation plugin" shall be one that has an app-like design. An app-like design includes clear icons, buttons, tabs, and navigation that can be accessed at any time. A book recommendation plugin should also have an easy-to-use interface that is easily navigable. This shall provide them with a greater sense of satisfaction that they are recommending books that they enjoy to other people. Unfortunately, there is no plugin that can provide you these features but you can achieve it using custom code.

I help you buy, sell, plan, value a business
Hi there. I help people buy and sell businesses and also do a lot of consulting for people with partnership issues. Your question seems to ask what percentage of ownership should go to each initial shareholder when setting up a company. You can choose to do this in a number of ways. Some people keep it simple, they go with 'percentages' of ownership. This can make it difficult when the idea of new partners or investors comes up. A second, more sophisticated, approach would be to look at the value of what each is bringing as an 'investment.' For example, if each is investing a year of labour, what is that worth? A nominal share value can be used and shares issued based on this investment. This helps to distinguish between what is invested and what is earned in the form of wages or salary. For example, if one partner contributes $50,000 in cash and does $20,000 worth of labour for which he draws a wage and the second partner simply donates $50,000 worth of labour, then both have equally contributed to the equity of the company even though only one has given cash. Business owners need to distinguish between what their 'job' is in the business and their role as owners. Think of what if would be like to work in a large corporation while also owning some shares. Your day-to-day would be all about your job and the wages you earn. Your activities as a shareholder would be about setting strategic direction. When I help partners get going we always have to put an organizational chart and job descriptions in place to keep people on track with what they do every day vs. what they do as owners. This helps to determine the value of the invested equity as well.

Show them how to solve ONE common problem in this field. Package it in a pdf report or video. Put a call to action at the end for the full product. You don't want a free consultation as that ties up your client's time, and often with people who will never become buyers. You want this automated. Your client has a defined target market, which you can use in the signup copy for the free report. That's a good start! The tripwire's purpose is to pre-qualify the prospect and warm them up to become a buyer through this one-way conversation. It's a differentiation piece. The prospect starts to get familiar with the seller, and can decide whether they like your client as a source of information. I have been very clear in the past in my belief that "Foot In The Door" sales attempts are a waste of time. They position the seller badly and don't lead to larger future orders. However, tripwire products are still a good idea for positioning and pre-qualifying, as I discuss further in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf2ifPZYlxU

To answer this question you'll need to know the lifetime value of an affiliate that joins your program. Once you calculate the value then you'll be able to determine what you can afford to pay. I would also look at qualifying what constitutes a valid referral to your affiliate program. The lifetime value of the average affiliate who joins your program is of little value compared to the lifetime value of an affiliate who joins and driving traffic in the first 30 days. Or better yet sales in the first 30 days. When you calculate the lifetime value of : An affiliate eho drives traffic in the first 30 days or; An affiliate who drives sales in the first 30 days you will find that the value is significantly higher (so you can pay more for these referrals) I would not pay for just joining the program. Up to 90% of these sign ups may not drive traffic. Another concern is that some affiliates may incentivize sign ups, for commission, so you will want to specifically prohibit incentivized traffic. Keep your criteria for a valid sign up ( # of clicks or # of sales) confidential so affiliates do not exploit the system. Hope this helps. Mick

First of all I want to clarify one thing on your question that I believe it's not accurate: SaaS is a way to deliver technology (products) not a business model. The counter part of SaaS is on-premise or legacy, which is not a business model but how you deliver your product. For example, Salesforce is SaaS and their business model is charging per seat or user. Zenefits is a SaaS model and they don't charge the user of the product but take a commission out of insurances. Our company, COMPAS, is SaaS and we charge a monthly fee on an annual contract. Sorry I didn't answer your question directly but I believe it's more important to ask the right questions before you get the wrong answers.
