Tip: You'll only do this if you're a Thrillseeker looking to loose massive revenue. You'll never, ever, ever turn over design of any business critical system to anyone in the class of "junior anything" who requires "SQL courses". You'll have an experienced designer handle your SQL design.

A ".com" is a much better long term solution because Google and people generally recognize that as more authoritative/ trustworthy. The best way to change a ".co" over to a ".com", is by creating a "301 redirect" for EACH PAGE and keep everything else the exact same until Google indexes the new version. Also, you might want to contact any important inbound links and ask them to update their link to be to the new address. And you can register both domains inside Google Search Console and submit a "change of address". Does this help?
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)

This is a complex topic. Far more complex than can be answered in here. Best to hire an expert to help you with this, because Google will penalize you if they visit the same URL multiple times where different content is returned. You can research this yourself by digging into the Google Search Console facility specifically built to handle this case, to avoid the SEO/Index penalty. And... You can easily destroy SEO traction making simple mistakes. Guideline: For any SEO optimization. 1) Low/No site income, figure it out on your own. 2) High site income, hire someone familiar with this process. Random Tip: Most people miss something important here. Incompetent Hosting (almost all hosting) which sometimes returns various errors or randomized content rendering (slow broken SSL/JS/CSS/Image serving) also counts as different content. A far more common problem results when Hosting results return random content on a regular basis. Guideline: Similar to the above. For sites with significant cashflow, first hire someone to ensure your hosting speed + stability + security is rock solid. Next, ensure your site produces clean HTML (0 syntax errors + 0 syntax warnings). Then move into SEO optimization. Most people start with SEO before address hosting + HTML syntax... then wonder... why oh why... does my SEO optimization never seem to have any effect.

Hi Great question. The real answer (that not many people are willing to say), is this: you go outside, raise your thump towards the sky, imagine a nice number, and that's the valuation. It's called the thumb valuation. But seriously, there is no "official" accounting method to evaluate a startup that is not already selling, and even then the sales don't necessarily indicate the value of the company. In any event, some of the below are good indicators of value: 1. Do they have a patent? 2. Have they already developed the technology? Is it working? 3. Do they have sales or traction? 4. How much is each sale/signup/download costing versus how much are they making (going to make) from each of these users? 5. How long has the team been together? If they're offering a technological solution, is the CTO a member of the team, or an external company? 6. Are there any similar companies providing similar services? If so, check how much money these companies have raised so far and at what value, or research their sales/results so far (I am happy to teach you how to do so - almost all the information is available online). 7. If prior investments have been made, check how much he/she invested each time? 8. Do your research on the market and potential. You then take all the above, and reach the value of the company, based on which you are asking the investment for. 9. There ARE some companies that do startup evaluation, but these are relatively new (about 4 years) and usually use most of the above methods. I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you. After scheduling a call, please send me some background information so that I can prepare in advance - thus giving you maximum value for your money.

Hi First of all, the fact that you are talking about market validation is great. I've seen so many startups invest time and money, only to find that no one wants/needs their product, or that they only want a certain aspect of it (whilst the startup spent money developing a whole bunch of other features), or that the clients aren't willing to pay the requested price - making the business not profitable. So you're already one step ahead. Also, the sooner you validate your product, the better! That said, the version you are validating needs to be representative of the end product, or else the validation isn't reliable. So, how should you validate it? The best way, is to see whether people are willing to pay for your product/service. This is how you find that out: 1. Create a business model canvas (which is what all startups should start with before creating a business plan), 2. Setup a Wix or Wordpress website (this can be done for free / very low costs) or if your venture is a mobile app, then create what’s called a Clickable Prototype (“CP”) (a visual of the app in which the images change when you click – you can do so using the Apple Keynote tool or Microsoft PowerPoint). On the website, or the download page for the ‘app’, don't forget to include the price of the product/service, and enable people to order it (YES, even if it doesn't really exist yet!). I am happy to explain how this can be done whilst still being fair to your potential customers (the people who click the "buy/download” button). 3. Determine your target market/customers. 4. Spend a small amount marketing what you created. This way, after only spending a very small amount, you will be able to know (assuming that you did it correctly): a. Do people like your product. b. Do people want/need your product (not the same as 'a'). c. Are people willing to pay for your product? (this being the most important stage) d. How much are they willing to pay? (you can check this by having 2-3 landing pages with different prices on each). 2 last important points: a) In order to rule out external factors like an unattractive landing page or advertising campaign, and assuming you have the time, create multiple landing pages / advertising campaigns, with different designs. b) During the above process, don't forget to check how much it costs you to get each user/customer to click the "buy" button. If for example each click on your promotion/advertisement costs you $2, and only every 10 people who click go on to the "buy" page - that means each sale is costing you $20. Then check what your average profit per sale is, and then you'll know if your service/product is worth pursuing (obviously there are additional factors like return customers, referrals etc, but you will get a good estimated/validation of the idea/business). Does something like this exist? Many people would use LinkedIn for some of the features you mentioned. For example, when flying to city X, I would ask: "Does anyone know any people in Y industry in city X" - and in most cases people get connections. Good luck I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you.

Hello, What a great question. One of my favorite coaching topics is overcoming insecurities. It is a favorite because the results are exponentially rewarding! Not knowing the particulars limit my responses; therefore, broad-strokes answer is as follows: Fundamentally, the underlying cause of your daughter’s inhibitions should be addressed because intellect is not necessarily synonymous with self-portrait. I am not suggesting that your daughter should be psychoanalyzed; I am suggesting that it may take more than (positive reinforcement) to help your daughter communicate more effectively, which is a powerful tool in defining oneself, subsequently creating confidence that results in a more assured person even when that person’s thought, act, or response is incorrect. The confidence is derived from the process of doing the task to the best of one’s ability and having satisfaction in knowing that one has exhausted due diligence for the outcome. With the proper exercises, this type of insecurity is easily resolved. I hope this broad-strokes response provided some clarity for your daughter and you. “How to Communicate Effectively,” is one of my top skills-set. You may send me a message or call if you believe I may be of assistance. Regardless, I hope continued academic success for your daughter and a lasting positive resolution in her self-confidence. (smile)

MOQs MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) is not a new concept; it has a high success rate and various implementations the most common being regulatory agency restrictions, which have to do with import/exports, good sold etc. Additionally, no manufacturer can sell at cost (no markup) and remain in business. There are always “costs” with any goods/services sold. I hope my broad-stroke response has provided you some clarity. I am happy to assist with specifics via phone consultation.

I recommend developing a short survey with an incentive for completion, optional contact info questions at the end + interest in participating in an online focus group in the future. Then requesting the opportunity to post on private group boards dedicated to either LearnDash users *OR* PK-12 teachers on Facebook, etcI found this private group you could approach on Facebook: "LearnDash LMS Tips & Tricks" (14.5K Members). The Census will tell you the largest # of school districts (i.e. large # of teachers) https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2019/comm/largest-school-districts.html. Google search to see if LearnDash is included as a tool for teachers on the school district's website. Then prioritize finding groups of teachers online for those school districts first in your survey outreach. Note: many groups on FB are against promotion, so I strongly recommend framing the survey as research AND include an incentive for completion as an indication you value the respondents' time. If you'd like to schedule a short call with me to discuss this process further, please let me know. Best of luck!

What a great idea! Of course, right now at the moment there is probably less demand, the beauty of your service, i am guessing, is that it can be outdoors and somewhat weather resistant. I would encourage you to reach out to event managers and planners with the idea - i feel as though there is something like this with tents, but i don't think i've seen this exact type of full-service approach. Especially not with the added industrial 'cool' factor. You may run into event spaces that provide this kind of service, so getting to them with the idea to use your service to offer to their clients might be a B2B model worth exploring. -JL For straight-to-customer approach,

I think you are looking for a small button to go alongside Facebook and LinkedIn? Great idea! While this is not an official answer, I would think you could create a button that links to your clarity profile and add it to your site, ie, "Find me on Clarity," depending upon your technical expertise.

Answer the question in detail, giving examples, tips, etc.: Avoid making cheap money. Make sure you are REALLY helping the concerned person, not for money but for sake of really helping. Check the internet for details, example, and tips, read books, blogs, and newspapers, try to relate them to the question at hand. 3. End by offering a call for follow up questions: Once this is done, go to your account, enter edit your profile section click on share your profile link below the answer.

Tip: For every 6 figures income elsewhere, Clarity generates a few dollars. So... Far better to do this... 1) Set your income/month target. 2) Set your hours/week worked target. 3) Timeline to reach #1 + #2. 4) Work out your offerings (price points of goods/services/information) you'll provide to implement #3. 5) Then locate people who've achieved your goals already. Hire them to assist you. Skip all the way to the bank. 6) Tip: You said "I can promote any business or product or service to millions of people world-wide." Then... best you do this... and you'll be rich... You'll always generate far more income marketing whatever you're selling directly to a large audience (B2C) rather than a smaller audience (B2B). Tip: And there's a trade off. When going B2C the only way to get rich + still have a life, is to design your business where... Marketing + Sales + Fulfillment + Support + Billing all runs on automatic. Implementing automatic style businesses ensures a near infinite ROI (return on investment), where expenses are near zero, so profit becomes astronomical.

The online food delivery industry is at its growth stage, especially after lockdown. There is a surge in demand due to the COVID-19 outbreak as the customers were unable to visit their favorite restaurants and opted for ordering food online.

Apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub, Deliveroo are high in demand with an increasing number of downloads each day. This is because consumer behavior has changed, people now feel it safe and more convenient to order food online during the pandemic to avoid crowded places.

Hi - i would first start with your goals. if this is to be a group for your team to interact and share, a system like Teams, Slack or Monday are good alternatives that have cloud interfaces and have a ton of functionality. For more open groups, Facebook groups are pretty robust. Could you tell me a little more about how you want to use the group and the overall goal as that may help define your solution better. -JL
