Google Analytics

please help me to decide: should I use AMP or should I turn it off?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

Personally I stopped using amp pages. Sure, it speeds up your site a little bit if it's a blog but I feel they're a worst user experience than having your regular site load on a faster server. The reason you're most likely seeing a high bounce rate because if someone is reading on Google News they can scroll though though the amp articles by swiping.

Business Coaching

What are some criteria I should look for when searching for a business coach?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

I wouldn't necessarily look for someone that has a business coach. I will look more for a consultant that specializes in your industry. You need someone that can help you improve your internal processes such as cost, production time, profit, etc.

Early-stage Startups

Is it mandatory for an early stage start-up founder ( CEO) to like the industry of his start-up in order to thrive and succeed?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

Get out of your head. You're talking yourself out of something before you even get started. Not many people are good or even like customer support. I personally don't. However it's part of the job and you have to learn how to become better at it as you go. Just take the risk and start your business. If it doesn't work out then you take what you learned from it and start another one.

Entrepreneurship

How do I keep motivated when I'm overwhelmed with starting a business?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

Just do it. You're over thinking which is killing you. Just start and build as you go. When I started I had NO clue how to do anything but fix computers. I didn't know how to network or gain more customers. I just went out there and network my tail off and learned as I went. Talking to random people at an event was not in my comfort zone. Now, I kill it every time I go. Bottom line, just start. Fear is fake. If it's not going to kill you then it's all made up in your head.

Small Business

Can I use personal funds to pay for a service that contributes to my business?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

It would be best to get your own business account with your name as a DBA so you can deposit clients checks. That way your expenses are written out as a business expenses. As for putting funds into your business you can do that. Most businesses owners fund their own business until they have cash from clients. I've done that before when I had to pay for a business expensive but didn't want to use my personal cards. It is best to keep everything separate. Mixing business and personal assets can become a mess. If you ever got sued someone could pierce the corporate veil that way too.

Mentorship

SEO

Will moving my website to another web host / server affect my google rankings?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

You won't have any issues as long as your site does not slow down because of your new host. Matt Cutts had a video back in 2009 (I think) that says the IP and the host won't effect your ranking.

Website Management

How do I consolidate my many websites and email address to one simple place?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

With Gmail you can also set reply base on which email was sent. So example if they emailed bob@domain1.com you can set to to reply back from that email and not your main Gmail or Google Apps email.

Early-stage Startups

How do you become a great startup CEO?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

By not focusing on being the CEO for the name and focus on your customers, employees, and the services you offer.

Billing

What are principal obstacles that are holding back consumers from embracing e-bills & online bill payment of household bills (e.g. telco, utilities)?


Troy Glancy

Clarity Expert

Some people it's security. They're afraid that their credit card information will be stolen. Personally, I pay everything online. You also have the older generation that feel more safe writing a check and paying a bill online.
