Well , first , you have to know exactly what you want to produce , and why . Then, you have to think about the brand of market that is viable at the moment , and/or the consumers you want to attract/market to . You have to brainstorm , figure in the cost of production & distribution + profit. This won't happen overnight . Its going to take a lot of research , observation , planning and funding , of course . But those are keynote factors you need to significantly consider , if you want to at least get your business headed in a successful direction . ✨

Building backlinks is super complicated task nowadays but below are the strategies that my team has been working with for our clients and they have benefited from the work: 1) Make relevant guest contributions - A lot of high authority blogs have changed their guest contribution policies and made the links no-follow but there are still websites out there that give do-follow links. So, discovering blogs that are relevant for you and pitching a post that actually adds value to the blog can get you a quality backlink as well as exposure to an engaged audience. 2) Pay for feature posts - Media sites accept features posts and give do-follow links in them. Usually expensive but think of long term and put in some money on it from time to time 3) Associate with NGOs - Reputed NGOs are always interested in people who can support their cause and most feature their supporters on their websites. Links are often given to websites on such occasions. 4) Get active on relevant channels - There are no dearth of content creation, content curation, business listing, and community websites. Such websites usually have authority and backlinks from them can be counted into decent quality. So, get on all such websites and participate from time to time as well. 5) Last but not the least, create authority content. Authority content is picked up and referenced on its own which creates automatic backlinks. When I say content, think blogs, images, infographics, and everything else that can be credited/published with a link. There are many other ways to create quality backlinks.

From an HR professional perspective I’d want you to have several examples to help me see how you dealt with change, financial constraint, department conflict. You know those behavioural questions everyone hates? Here is how to prepare. Recall several complex situations that may cover several questions - something difficult that involves multiple stakeholders can often be used for different questions. To prepare think STAR - Situation, Tasks, Action and Result. You can do this thinking ahead of your interview. Then it will flow far easier. At senior levels the fit they are looking for usually has a lot to do with your leadership style, how you manage relationships across the org, how you make tough decisions. Your stories are the best indicator of future behaviour. Also HOW you operated under stress tells the interviewer a lot about your style and whether you will fit the culture. Some good questions you may want to ask is all about the culture, current morale, change environment, company values. Remember you want to interview them as much as they interview you! Lastly, candidly ask the interviewer about themself and their greatest memory for working there. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more?

It depends on what type of online business you want to run. For selling online (physical or digital products), you need to figure out your audience first, and then find or create products, that will sell. Also consider how you will get paid - living in Egypt may put restrictions on money transfers (for example - does PayPal operate in Egypt). You can also do freelance work online. Bottom line - starting an online business is easy. Getting clients and getting paid is more complicated. Good luck

First of all your material is protected through the copyright, but in order to collect any damages the copyright needs to be registered, so do that first. You should have a good argument because you have invoices they paid for training in the material so if they copy it fairly closely you could collect damages. A trademark isn't going to give you much protection on the material, trademarks are really only good for your brand and your logo, if part of your material is the brand then trademark it. There are two other paths you can look at also. First ask the client about it, see if they are willing to partner in some way; for instance you could license your copyrighted material to them for use with their own clients. Second think about using a Creative Commons licence on the material that allows them to use it but drives their clients back to you; take a look at how Strategyzer has done this with the Business Model Generation Canvas.

In my experience, CPM ads pay much less than CPC. I think that your issue with AdSense was poor optimization / ad placement. I have a client who had very low CPC with high traffic website, and was making well over $10000 per month with AdSense. Before we optimized his site, with same traffic he was making less than $3000 (which is still pretty good). There may be some good CPM networks out there, but overall, CPC should yield much higher income. What was your RPM (revenue per 1000 impressions) with AdSense?

Mailgun is great, as is MailChimp. MailChimp might be easier for you since it has email blast campaigns and templates, while MailGun does not.

This is really a question for your attorney but a quick (layman's) answer is that today's copyright protections cover writers almost automatically once you complete and publish your works (research this online). Here is one source of info: https://corporate.findlaw.com/intellectual-property/copyright-law.html Trademarks are more related product and service names rather than content and must be applied for. Sorry I can't be more comprehensive. One thing I'm sure of is that you have to proactively defend your intellectual property rights. No one is going to do this for you. So if you see someone stealing your work it is your responsibility to notify or prosecute them.

Marketing & Sales. A lot of entrepreneurs are "doers of the thing" but at some point, you're forced to take the shift and become a "marketer of the thing". Think of it this way: You can have the best product on the market, but it doesn't matter if noone knows about it. Ofcourse, there are so many other important bits I'd love to tell you about - but, start with these and you will see traction, the rest will follow.

Dear Friend, You are totally right, websites like Fiverr, Upwork and Freelancer are mainly good for finding a Designer or Developer for your idea but in order to find marketer you need to stick mainly to marketing community. But before that here are some friendly advice: - Most efficient group of marketers are influencers and what attract them is some extra benefits like special discounts and.... you should mainly try to make them feel their are special - providing good set of tools and materials like (landing pages, banner ads, video ads and...) have a lot of effect on attracting experts cause it makes they work easier and faster - Many marketers stick to high quality product so always stick to that to get better marketers Here are some communities which are good for finding marketers: https://stmforum.com/ https://affplaybook.com/ https://www.affiliatefix.com/ https://www.affilorama.com/forum/ https://www.warriorforum.com/ https://forums.digitalpoint.com/ https://www.wickedfire.com/ https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/ http://www.cpaelites.com/ http://www.v7n.com/forums/ if you have any questions or helps please do not hesitate to contact me :)

Hi: I'm wondering why you aren't starting a business to produce this app yourself? Develop a prototype, show it to likely users, take their feedback to refine the product, build a marketing plan, launch the product and generate sales. Once you've proven that it sells and customers value it, this company could look at the decision to acquire it as a no-brainer. Also, in terms of what to expect, this company you have your eye on would likely be looking to pay the fair value of your company, which probably has no correlation to their market value. If you wish to discuss, send me a PM through Clarity for 15 free minutes. Cheers, Kerby

Cool concept, but yeah, it can be time consuming. While there may be automated ways to do this, another way to consider the demands of the individualized approach is to think of the effort as an investment in the relationship. Down the road, this investment could pay dividends, including: * when a member's issue needs to be smoothed over * when your airline/hotel contact is moving on to another role, but smoothly transitions you to his or her replacement * when the airline/hotel needs to cut back on such deals and first trims those with minimal connection to anyone in the business In short, the travel partners are stakeholders and you must develop a rapport with them as well as any other stakeholders.

I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. I recommend finding a lawyer and an accountant that specialize in crowdfunding. Legislations on crowdfunding is constantly changing so keeping up with it on your own will be a nightmare. These types of platforms are still relatively new so It might be hard to find reputable ones with good track records. If you would like help finding reputable lawyers and accountants that specialize in crowdfunding, I can help you with your research.

That is simple. Meet with the people on your sales team and ask them what motivates them. Then build an incentive plan around what THEY TELL YOU will motivate them. That will also show that you care about what they think.

I, personally, would recommend Google Analytics. They are the best at gathering information on customers, web traffic, and user behavior. They have a very good online course which I'll link here for you. https://analytics.google.com/analytics/academy/ I've been using google analytics for a while and I really enjoy it! If you need any further instruction, other ways to gather user data, or would like someone in person to walk you through how to get it set up feel free to reach out to me. Best of luck!!! - Kyle

Hi, Good luck with you venture! You basically have two options. Funded vs. bootstrapped mode. Assuming you are not going to look for investment for this particular project, your other option is to bootstrap. Bootstrapping is becoming more and more popular nowadays, since it lets you gauge the reaction of the market very early. I recommend following Pieter Levels about this on Twitter and other media. And I suggest watching this is a generally working - good model of how to launch a product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6reLWfFNer0 Best Ozzie.

Is your website content uploaded to the correct directory on your server? Is your home page set up as index.html? Your page needs to have the correct permission set up. Those are the common errors.

Hi: To start, think concentric circles: * At the core, you have those you know well in the space—individuals who will take your call, most likely be your first customers and, hopefully, will be your champions. * Next ring out, you have acquaintances—people you have met briefly at conferences, industry events, etc., who were interested enough to share a business card. * And at the outer ring, you have the bulk of the industry—these are the folks who will be the target of your broader content management campaigns. As you gain traction in the inner two circles, it will make approaching the industry masses much easier. If you wish to discuss, send me a PM through Clarity for 15 free minutes. Cheers, Kerby

For iOS: Experience with ARKit and Metal. For Android: Experience with ARCore and Vulkan. For cross-platform solutions: Consider Unity for mobile AR with experience in developing native plugins, ARKit and/or ARCore, and optionally also 3rd party solutions like Vuforia to overlay digital content on physical objects. In general: Some degree of experience with 3D production pipelines (Blender, modo, 3DS Max, etc), and if it's innovative, some level of higher math skills; In particular 3D transforms, 3D geometry (skills along the lines of those outlined in the book Multiple View Geometry for Computer Vision); Some general computer vision experience may be beneficiary as well, but not necessary as long as the goal isn't to innovate on AR technology itself. Happy to tell you more in a phone call.
