| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 05:53 AM PDT One of the major reasons behind the growth of on-demand apps is the ease of usage and luxury behind it.
As it's clear from the above numbers, the on-demand economy is here to stay. [link] [comments]  |
| How I went from $0 to $16433 per month in 3 months Pressure Washing Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:54 AM PDT Hey yall, I wanted to give back to the community as I find that you guys are so nice and helpful and this is an awesome place to be a part of. This worked in pressure washing but can work in many other service businesses just as well. Creating a Google My Business and updating it with relevant info - phone number/address/hours of operation have been a Godsent for me and have generated easily $2000 a month in free advertising I had 4 tips for achieving this and making you show up high on Google Searches First: Make Sure Your Location is visible - even if it's your home address, this will allow you to be ranked higher in the map pack Second: Flesh out your company and put your service in the company name if it makes sense - for instance "Loud Bros Pressure Washing" Third: Update Pictures frequently and change the picture file name to something useful not "pic1.jpg" make the picture name "Pressure Washing House Normal IL" Fourth: MAJOR KEY - Ask for reviews often, and ALWAYS Reply to them. Here is a full video on how I learned to properly set up my Google My Business and optimize it: Next would be paid traffic once you are generating work through Google Ads, this can be done with a small budget initially, but scale over time. I started out with a 3x return on GARBAGE advertising and now see a 4-6x return on investment with proper configurations. Here is how I set mine up. https://youtu.be/GyTvG3n2RHw I as well use yard signs that I drop off at every customer's house after the job is completed and have seen great returns on investment from this. If you guys have any other ways that you market to generate more business, both paid and free please let me know as I would love to find out how to better my business! [link] [comments]  |
| Do you listen to business podcasts? How do u select podcasts worth your time? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 12:08 AM PDT Most of us who listen to business or marketing podcasts, do it as a secondary activity. While in the gym (no in the current times), while driving or while taking a walk, etc. But on what basis do you all select the podcasts to listen to? Because, we as entrepreneurs don't stick to a podcast unless it delivers some value. Now the question is – what is value? Are we going by how many subscribers does the podcast have? Who the podcast guests are? Is it by domain? Do we have the time to listen to every podcast in a domain and shortlist it? The reason I ask is – The Edison Research report as of April 2020 shows that there are 850,000 active podcasts, with over 30 million episodes. And it's up to us more than ever, to weed out the noise and spend time on credible podcasts that offer some tangible takeaway. Here are few things I do:
I'm keen to hear your thoughts. Edit: I just compiled these points together and added some recommendations for marketing podcasts as well - https://www.yaagneshwaran.com/blog/selecting-marketing-podcast/ [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:57 AM PDT I'm web developer and I've been scraping sites. Mostly online phone books. Now that I have experience I'd like to scrape sites and sell data. I set up my own VPS which does automated tasks. Since I'm web developer and I'm not familiar with selling scraped data, which data to scrape and where to sell. I'm posting here in hope someone can help me, give me some info about which data is best to scrape, where to sell and which data is most profitable. If you are interested into working with me on scraping and selling data let me know [link] [comments]  |
| I've designed a strong algorithm to detect fake news, how can I turn it into a business? Posted: 24 Jun 2020 11:31 PM PDT I have designed a strong algorithm to detect fake news and fake information online using Machine Learning. My question is how can I turn this into a business and who's gonna pay for it? [link] [comments]  |
| Great idea, just not a salesman Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:06 AM PDT I currently run a business with my roommate. We have 4 clients so far. People like the idea, I just can't close. And I also hate cold calling. What advice would you give to someone to help with sales, or is there other options for start ups to help with the selling? [link] [comments]  |
| How profitable is it for one to create Trump merchandise? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:22 AM PDT I've been seeing multiple successful sites selling Trump2020-Branded merchandise. The quality wasn't anything top notched either and the graphics and design seemed quite simple and to the point. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 06:42 AM PDT Hi guys! Wouldn't it be great if we could chat about individual stocks with other people and see the price action in realtime? I have just published a first version of stocktalks.io (completely free) and I am looking for some initial feedback. The main feature of the application is that you can save individual stocks as chat groups and when chatting in these groups see live data about the specific stock. It is still a bit buggy and lacks any additional features but I would be grateful if anyone could give it a test and let me know what they think. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Long time lurker here, thought I should finally give back to the community. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:50 PM PDT I've been reading this sub for a few years now, and it's guided me through 2 ventures and now a position at an early-stage opportunity within Google. Finally working on something that I think could be of use to my fellow lurkers. I'm creating a newsletter with some fellow founder and VC friends that highlights one hot startup every weekday for fun. In less than 200 words, we'll cover the company pitch, its business model/traction, and founder bios. We have over 60 companies in line in hot spaces ranging from ed-tech to church-tech to Esports APIs and more! Hoping that we can provide you with some clever ideas or at the very least make you more interesting at your next cocktail party. Link to join is in the comments, will be posting some of the company highlights here in the coming weeks. [link] [comments]  |

| Innovative Ways to Get Noticed? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:08 PM PDT I run a small fintech/investment company. We are unique to the market, but we don't have a large marketing budget because we are still self-funded. What are some innovative ways you've found to get your company out there? Have you found successful ways to get a hold of journalists that are excited about new product innovation, as opposed to journalists who will write a story if you pay them enough? Any guidance is much appreciated! [link] [comments]  |

| Is productizing a service worth the effort of working with a difficult client? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 12:53 PM PDT Hi Everyone, Tldr: Client with a low budget wants expensive features. I could take on the client, be underpaid but use the experience to productize the service. Should I do it? I specialize in e-learning development, and all things related to creating online courses focusing on enterprise clients needing onboarding and compliance training. I have been thinking I could target my services to consultants who offer corporate workshops. I connected with a "coach" type of client with a very small budget. She wants to develop her content to be customer facing and able to serve enterprise clients. The problem is that to serve these two markets you need distinct types of systems and infrastructure, and with the features she wants to include you can't do both things without making a hefty investment. Creating content for enterprise clients is so much more expensive, think $750 for a 2 minute demo vs $350 for a 30 minute course using a simple customer facing platform like Thinkific. I proposed to her to help her create her curriculum in the customer facing platform, and to create a small demo with all the features she wants to use to market to her enterprise clients. She keeps on pushing on wanting to get started and to figure things out as we go, and still wants the enterprise level work at the customer budget, so I am at a stand still: 1) I could of course walk away, but I see some potential on working with her to fine-tune my system, create some templates, and productize this service to offer it to other coaches like her. 2) Working with a client like her could end up in a project really out of scope where I would either be spending too much time for a low return and risky investment. What would you do in my situation? Thank you for reading this long paragraph. [link] [comments]  |
| How to find clients as a life coach Posted: 25 Jun 2020 12:46 PM PDT Hey guys, I'm trying to start a life-coaching business for people who struggle with gaming addiction and want to build healthier habits.

| Can I use Snapchat to uniquely market my small business? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 06:44 AM PDT I am writing this to gain perspective on the 3 questions below. I have a small business and sell diamond engagement rings, jewelry, and custom designs. Looking to market in specific and unique ways. 1) should I use Snapchat? I use other platforms already - but if not Snapchat, which do you recommend? 2) what should I post and how? Doesn't snap only let you put videos to your story? Can I upload videos? 3) is there a way to share from other apps to Snapchat? How would I link my Instagram for example? Any pointers are appreciated! [link] [comments]  |

| Automate email welcomes and follow ups Posted: 25 Jun 2020 12:25 PM PDT Hello. What email automation software do you recommend to automatically send out a welcome email and then a day or two later send out another one? I currently use send grid for the welcome email but manually send out follow ups. This is getting tiring now my customer base is growing [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 12:12 PM PDT Hey Guys, I have been dreaming of starting my own business for a while now and I was hoping I could get some advice and information.

| Getting electrician business off the ground. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:42 AM PDT Friend of mine moved to my state and is trying to get his electricians business off the ground. He is certified, licensed, bonded and insured for both commercial and residential. So far is main source for leads is Home Advisor, which if I understand correctly is very predatory against contractors and how they are billed. He has almost 100 verified reviews with 4.9 average. We are trying to get more leads coming in from other sources. Craigslist: I have started to post services ads on CL for him once a week. To my surprise its going relatively well. Google: I am working on getting his business on Google and Google Maps, there are some issues with verification, but I am working on it. So far he has 2x 5.0 reviews there. Local Papers: He found a neighborhood that has local paper dedicated to handymen and other house services. First ad there is coming out next month, we will see what impact that has. If it goes relatively well, we might invest in ads in other such papers in other neighborhoods. Facebook: I am currently working on getting is Facebook page up and running. So far it's mostly empty, my plan is to put pictures of past jobs with some minor helpful hints with each to add "value" to them. Maybe later when there is more traffic and more money is coming in I can try doing Facebook ads. Referral Cards: One of my ideas is to create "referral cards" where a postcard(s) are given to a customer after job is completed. It will essentially be a coupon for $$$ off your next project that they can use themselves or give to one of their friends, neighbors or family members. I am thinking of putting instructions on how to leave feedback on the other side to get more reviews going in. Thoughts? % off on quote: I was thinking about including something on the lines of: "schedule in next 7 days to get 10% off your project" I don't know how this will be received by customers. Thoughts? Little things: Good portion of the panels are a mess when it comes to designating what breaker does what. Lot of scratch-marks, wrong labels, no labels, ... I was thinking of creating a long sticker to be put on each of the side of the breaker panel where you can re-write what breaker does what in cleaner way, with company name and phone number on the top. Added value to customer for little cost and your number on the panel for future references or new owners. Other avenues That's what I am trying to figure out here. Any thoughts on getting more customers/referrals? [link] [comments]  |
| Starting a business in a booming industry Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:40 AM PDT So, I'm a young student in college that has been working in bicycle shops for a few years and recently started doing repairs for one of those aforementioned shops. For the past few months during the coronavirus pandemic we have seen a massive spike in sales unlike anything ever before and we were very lucky to have ordered so many bikes before the whole thing started. Now, I have a few friends who also know how to repair bikes and we have been seriously considering opening a workshop of our own, independent from any particular store, since all of these new bikes will need service and the number of capable repairmen nearby is very limited. We are debating amongst ourselves whether we should just own equal parts of the company, run it only during the summer when we are out of school and pay ourselves profits of the company or if we should hire employees, give them proper training and guidance and make this into a full time company, only managing it during the winter. Any and all comments are welcome and greatly appreciated. -Cheers [link] [comments]  |
