| Any thoughts on how I can market my remote tech support company? Posted: 05 Mar 2018 03:15 PM PST Hi, I am trying to enter the market for remote tech support, but have no idea how to go about it. After I was laid off from my job, I started out on my own, but growing and keeping clients has been difficult. I decided to build a website: nyctechzone.com and am trying to reach a broader audience. I know the website is not the best, I am not good at building websites and programming, but I am very good at troubleshooting a windows PC and to some degree Apple computers as well. I don't have a very large budget and don't want to spend it on the wrong places for marketing. I see so many articles and videos of people getting scammed by fake remote support techs, I know there is a market there, just don't know how to go about getting in. And I offer 100% legit work, with warranty and money back guarantee if the user is not satisfied. I do get odd jobs here and there, mostly from referrals of clients I have serviced before. I get some work off craigslist. I apologize in advance if this is not the type of question this sub handles. Thank you in advance for your help. [link] [comments]  |
| what to charge for advertising please? Posted: 05 Mar 2018 09:51 PM PST Hi and thank you for this subreddit. I'm starting a project that will charge business' to have their places advertised on tourism leaflets that will be handed out free to customers. We collect and design the information, then handle distribution. Please could someone tell me what to search for on google so that I can figure out how much to charge the customers? I have a rough idea of distribution figures...but I don't know how I can use this information to calculate a price to charge the customers. Nobody else is doing this idea around here and so there is nothing to compare prices with. Sorry for my ignorance and thank you in advane. [link] [comments]  |
| App Development Outsourcing Question Posted: 05 Mar 2018 01:44 PM PST Hello Reddit, I am interested in potentially outsourcing the MVP of an app. I am aware of services such as Upwork and other freelancing sites, but I'm curious about professional app development firms and your experiences. Are there any reputable app development outsourcing companies that you have used in the past? What challenges did you face when communicating with them? Did you think the price was reasonable? Estimated time from idea to MVP or full launch? Geographical location is not a concern. (There is some superfluous words in this post in order for me to achieve the required 500 character limit that this sub-Reddit requires, so please disregard this sentence as I'm simply trying to get your opinions and experiences on outsourcing your app's development to a firm vs a contractor.) Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Pursuing a patent - need advice Posted: 05 Mar 2018 05:27 PM PST I've been at this patent for almost a year - I've submitted the initial patent filing and the first office action has come back from the USPTO. The scary thing is there were 18 claims and all 18 claims were rejected. Now the lawyer has to reply and I'm not sure if this is something to pursue any further. I had originally gotten the lawyer to do a patent search, which they didn't come back with anything of note. Now the USPTO had 3 patents referenced that looked fairly similar to mine. Has anyone else gone through a similar situation and what did you do? What are your overall thoughts on pursuing or abandoning the idea? Any help is appreciated! Thank you - Rec [link] [comments]  |
| Do you feel like mobile app industry is facing a decline? Posted: 05 Mar 2018 06:50 PM PST I hope this is the right sub. Here goes, a short story from me... When I got my first computer I couldn't stop searching and installing new programs on it. I wanted to try everything, everything I could find was installed and tested and played with on my PC. BUT with time I settled. My PC was used for specific categories like web browsing, text editing, work, movies. And I don't remember when was the last time I installed something new on my PC! Maybe more than 12 years ago. When I got Internet connection circa 2000, I couldn't stop searching for new links! It was sooo fun. I wanted to visit and check out every website! BUT today I have like 10 websites which I visit every day. It's mail, social, work, news. few blogs. And it's been a long time since I found a new interesting website. When I got my first smartphone I couldn't look away from it! I visited Google Play (then Android Market) a few times a day and installed everything I could find. There were so many cool and useful apps! But looking at my smartphone use now I admit that I use like 10 apps a day, every day. It's mail, todo, web, chat, weather, podcast, bank, uber and alarm clock. And honestly, I haven't visited Google Play for several months - there is no need. Is it over? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Mar 2018 05:30 PM PST Hi all since September I have been working on an idea- I have done coding, logos designed, got accepted in to an incubator, launched a small marketing campaign to get beta users. Spent basically a long time- I have made some sales based on the idea and as I am going to launch soon and registered as a sole proprietorship. I have been talking to a friend to bring him On board to help me as I am pretty swamped due to having a full time job as well as this. He'll be helping with sales, apply for grants basically take away these tasks as he is better at communicating than I am. I am also in the midst of redesigning the logo and colors for the app and website - so I just paid a designer 50% of it. My friend was in part for the discussion. I talked to a lawyer yesterday for writing my terms and service, policy, contracts between me and vendors. He asked me if I am alone I said no since I got my friend now. So for that I need to incorporate - and the lawyers will do it - I am being quoted less than 1800 through the incubator. I have no idea what I am Doing. The lawyer has asked me for an intake sheet- basically that contains how many founders, equity, vested , shares. My questions are 1) how much should offer my said friend 2) how do I get a better understanding of equity, vested, shares 3 how do I protect my self and my startup - if my friend decides to bail ?
