| 5000 Users, 3 Months, $0 in Paid Ads = Here's how Posted: 07 Sep 2021 10:39 PM PDT Backstory: Growth is hard. Unless you've got 40,000 followers engaging everyday on twitter or a mailing list. Growth is hard. But that doesn't mean impossible or unachievable, absolutely not - it simply means you need to be strategic with how you bring new people to your product. We never ran paid ads, don't ask why - I just never had faith in paid media for SaaS (this is changing since though) so I started off with what I knew best, content. Content was great to drive traffic from FB posts, reddit etc, but never really in a consistent way (AKA using uncle Google to get us traffic) So we set out to try move our focus to SEO and bring in leads consistently and daily. I'm going to talk on what are the things we did that have worked well for us over the span of 3 months. 1) Onsite SEO -this is an easy win. Make sure your meta tags, title tags and images are optimised. Aka right keywords, load time and contextual 2) Intent-based search -Stop stuffing keywords, Google has gone from lexical to semantic-based search. When writing content, understand the intent with which people would be searching for your content 3) Interlinking -SEO juice is the real deal and Google bot goes top to bottom, so you need to make sure your "popular" blogs have relevant link to your upcoming blogs. Interlinking also opens into the topic of topical authority and clustering, Google is looking for authority in topics (more on this soon) 4) Anchor tag management -If your business is on Cold Email Personalisation and you're writing a blog to link to your landing page, don't hyper link to a keyword that isn't related e.g potatoes and carrots. In Google's eyes (similar to customers) when they click on a highlight link they want to go to a page talking about what they clicked on 5) Backlinking -If you spend more than 20 minutes in SEO, you'll hear backlinks. It's Googles ranking metric to decide authenticity of sites, almost like a vote of confidence. Easy ways to get back links are by far these:
6) Programmatic SEO -Using the concept of head terms, primary and secondary modifiers to create 100s of content pieces targeting several permutative combinations. How to lose weight after turning 40 / after pregnancy / before wedding / for beach body each of those can be individual pages 7) Creating topical maps/clusters -Ever noticed random small sites killing it with little/no backlinks this is because of topical authority. This is the reference to the image above (how we do topical authority creation). Topical authority or topic clustering involves you creating "cluster" content around a pillar topic. Lets say we want to talk about Weight Loss, that would be a pillar topic and surrounding that pillar will be cluster content like "how to loose weight", "keto weight loss", "weight loss after pregnancy" etc etc where you find long tail and sub topic keywords using ahrefs etc. Then what you do is interlink between the cluster content and the main pillar page signalling to Google the pillar page is the main leader on this topic. What the topic clusters approach does is move us from writing siloed content and moving towards solving for an niche of content, because surely someone searching for what is a cold email will most likely want to know how to send a cold email. And this is the "trick" to SEO dominance these days. 8) Page bounce rates and Page on time -Google wants to show its users the best content. If someone hits your site and leaves immediately it signals to google it showed the prospect wrong data for the keyword you might want to rank for. So write engaging content that actually has users sticking to your site 9) Disavowing backlinks -All backlinks are not good, if you end up in aggregator sites and see a lot of of backlinks (via ahrefs analyser) from spam sites, you can disavow them - google doesn't always guarantee it will follow suit but they give you the option 10) E‑A-T- stands for expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness.Expertise means to have a high level of knowledge or skill in a particular field. Google is looking for content created by a subject matter expert. Authority is about reputation, particularly among other experts and influencers in the industry. Quite simply, when others see an individual or website as the go-to source of information about a topic, that's authority. Trust is about the legitimacy, transparency, and accuracy of the website and its content. This is not a ranking factor by any mean but more so a mindset you need to think about when writing content and building your blog. These are the 10 key points I can mention that have helped us gain traffic and users. Also SEO does take time, and that is the unfortunate truth. But like in a startup if you push past the ditches the result is magical, with leads flowing in everyday [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2021 11:39 AM PDT I've always wondered if there was a community or space for people to promote, network, educate and learn from each other? Reddit doesn't allow self promotions so I'm wondering what platforms do? For example, if you want to learn how to start a Notary business, where can you go to learn about it, connect with industry professionals who are willing to share "secrets" and no I'm not talking about YouTube where someone is trying to sell you a course and get you on their email list. I want to know a place for a one stop shop. It's hard to find one,so I'm on a quest to create one. I'm not gonna promote it here but I created a channel for business owners and leaders to learn and educate from each other. It's just a slack channel with many sub channels for specificed interest.

| If you had 100,000 to work with? Posted: 08 Sep 2021 03:56 AM PDT Long story short, I have saved 100,000 and been thinking is there a Legit business I can start up with this money? I'm currently employed full time but 11hour shifts 6days mandatory….I don't see myself doing this forever. If anything just till end of the year. I couldn't imagine working for someone else for my whole working life, I would prefer to do something I can do for myself on my time. Any ideas? I have 100,000 capital. i live on SoCal near LA. I would prefer no niche type businesses but rather for all public. Family member had a recycling business and was successful for 3 decades. But now everything is more regulated.

| How to build the business you wanted to, and get out from under the day to day of what you have? Posted: 08 Sep 2021 10:07 AM PDT We started in late 2020. So far so good - my partners and I started taking a salary in March and we've just hired our first 2 FTs that seem to be working out well. I'd say we've moved into the "Still making mistakes, but also making invoices" territory. We are all hugely experienced in our industry. We're in B2B business services. We have no problem attracting clients and are on a solid path. The problem is we wanted to do things differently. But the struggle of the day to day - actually engaging and solving our clients problems means the plans to build our differentiator, the thing that meant we weren't like all the others, is getting further and further away. It feels like we are just building another agency. Have any other founders faced (and beat) this? For the record I am the founder and I have 2 junior partners. The founding capital is all mine but my partners have shown their mettle and also are understanding of this issue. We are all on the same page. We also would rather not take extra money at this stage simply because we wouldn't know where to spend it - we know we can do X, but we want to do X+. Are we being silly in not seeking investment? Sorry if I am rambling. You're a smart bunch here so I'm hoping someone can understand and lay it out what we need to do. [link] [comments]  |
| Starting a US business with a cofounder who lives in the EU. Could it work? Posted: 08 Sep 2021 12:21 PM PDT Anyone have experience with this? How could we split responsibilities? I'm afraid I'd end up doing all the work myself… I want to bring my cofounder over to the US but until that becomes possible, what is the best, most viable way of sharing the workload?

| Posted: 08 Sep 2021 09:29 AM PDT Can anyone in this community guide on how a C-corporation in the US with foreign directors and owners open a bank account in the US without somebody being physically present there? Most banks seem to ask for somebody being physically present in the US, but I have been told there are banks which have a bit of relaxed KYC, just haven't been able to locate them yet. If someone knows of such banks, please let me know. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Help With a Clever Name for a New Veterinary Dental Speciality Hospital Posted: 08 Sep 2021 12:07 PM PDT I'm a freelance graphic designer and am working with a client to help them revamp their business name. They are a Veterinary Dental Speciality Hospital focusing mainly on Cats & Dogs. A huge part of this re-brand is to make sure their brand (logo and name) feel; clean, simple, professional, trendy, modern and high-end. In order to achieve this we decided to go with a short singular word that can relate to teeth, pets, or both. An example would be; "Pearl." or "Crown." - both of these names are already used so we can't use them but that's the general idea. They want something that sounds sophisticated and not too cute-sy and cartoon-ish Here is a list of some names we brainstormed together, but none of them feel like they are sticking or just have that unique punch; Pet Pearls., Companion., Titanium., Royal., Gleam., Roots., Glory., White Fang., Wisdom., I am so grateful for any creative geniuses that are able to share their ideas! Thank you in advance!(Please refrain from any non-serious responses.) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2021 07:33 AM PDT Over the past year, I have exhaustively analyzed B2B lead generation strategies from hundreds of my clients. One interesting fact in B2B lead generation is that less is more. All the top 10% performers focus on strategies with a lower number of leads, but higher buyer intent. But finding ultra-qualified leads isn't an easy process for anyone. In this post, I'll share 9 scalable strategies you can use to find potential customers for your business. Note: I'm sure you'll get at least one good idea from this extensive list, so make sure you read it until the end. If you need extra help on how to do each of these ideas, see these notes I wrote in the beginning of the year. 1. Find people interacting with relevant LinkedIn contentEvery day, many professionals open their thoughts for discussion on LinkedIn. Every time this happens, lots of interactions are generated. People that are liking or commenting on those thoughts are publicly showing alignment with a topic that is relevant to them. This opens the possibility to find an entire audience out there that might be ready to start a conversation with you. How amazing is that? 2. Identify new managers on growing teamsSales Navigator is a powerful tool for lead generation because LinkedIn has access to a lot of data that it's virtually impossible to replicate. This tactic uses Sales Navigator to find the decision-makers that:
Of course, LinkedIn doesn't give you the data like this, but there are 2 really good proxies you can use:
3. Extract attendees from your competitors eventsIndustry-relevant events are a great way to connect with potential customers in your niche. Here, you have 2 options:
Still not convinced? Some other great companies have tested this strategy with success. You can see what a real outreach example from PandaDoc looks like here. 5. Filter companies that use relevant tools and are featured on famous company listsEvery day, you can find new lists online that feature / bundle companies in several topics. Depending on your industry, you might be interested in companies like: New Unicorn Companies in 2021 or Fortune 1000. Then, go to builtwith.com to find which tools these companies are using. Any tactic you choose, you can use these lists to leverage relevancy in a dedicated message. Example:
Adding more value:
6. Engage in relevant Slack, LinkedIn, and Facebook groupsSlack, LinkedIn and Facebook groups are a great and unexplored way of finding potential customers. While people ask questions about how to solve their issues, you can find unexplored opportunities by helping them out with your solution. This strategy may not be the top source of leads in terms of volume, but with the right process, you can easily approach prospects that are just looking to solve the issue you solve for. 7. Consider unhappy reviews on your competitor pagesWebsites like G2, Capterra, and FeaturedCustomers are a great knowledge source about your competitors. Not only you can use the reviews to learn more about issues that people usually feel, but you can also identify potential new customers from unhappy reviews. You solve the issue the person leaving the review is mentioning, then you have a great opportunity to reach out and let this person that a solution like yours is available. 8. Browse companies that recently fund raisedCompanies that recently fundraised are a good proxy for potential new customers because:
9. Build trust with openly available resources useful to your nicheEveryone loves free tools, especially if they are useful. Creating valuable resources is one of my favorites B2B lead generation tactics. Users appreciate it when you create value and offer it for free. These types of resources not only build brand awareness but also help you build trust between your brand and potential new customers. Wrapping Up...In this post, I've preached 2 things about B2B lead generation:

| The best ways to Promote your startup online without a marketing team Posted: 08 Sep 2021 12:41 AM PDT Researching the topic of promoting startups on various Internet resources and collecting more than 20 free and inexpensive ways to promote. Let's be honest, there won't be any resources that would magically elevate your project to the top, as only your marketing team can do that. Our list contains free websites and low-cost beta tester communities to help you reach an interested audience, give feedback on your project, and share your project with others. And most importantly, this can be done by a small team without involving an experienced and expensive team of marketers. We are confident that these resources will be useful for young and ambitious projects that have completed their project and are ready to share it with the rest of the world. Product Hunt and TechCrunch Those are great resources for literally any kind of web service, application, or site. It keeps listed all promising products and has a bunch of rules to keep only good moderated products. In order to get yourself a page at this resource, you have to participate in the community itself, and this is only logical, don't take it as necessary rules that you have to check and go on, Helping other people gather feedback can help you just as much as them, for example, you can find projects that are similar to yours take some notes and collect some great Ideas while helping starting entrepreneurs like yourself. As an example, while searching through the interesting products I found out some fresh services that focus on providing feedback and test beta versions of applications, most of them have a free trial that you can't take, it's never enough feedback when you launch your project, is it? Beta Testers Sites Our marketers have identified three main platforms for professional testers, which will provide competent technical feedback: Betalist, BetaBound, and BetaFamily. These sites bring together an amateur community of beta testers who like to explore new projects and share their experiences. You can specify whether you want to pay testers for their work or not. It's up to you of course, but we recommend paying $ 5-10 per tester, or encouraging them to add some in-platform rewards if you have them. This will significantly increase the number of testers for your site or application. Most of these people work as testers and use the above platforms as a hobby and as a way to make some money in their free time. Forums It seems that with the development of social networks and the availability of fast communication, forums have already faded into the background. However, it is not. The most popular forms on narrowly focused topics are popular among users and have thousands of visits per month. How to find the needed forums? The easiest and most efficient way is of course Google. Forums rarely promote themselves, so you won't see their ads on websites or social media. Just enter in the Google search "top forums on your topic" and we guarantee that you will find more than a dozen articles with the forums you need. Spend some time on Google to find several forums related to your startup. We advise you to start searching for the forums you need a month or two before the official press release. Next, create a topic in the desired section of the forum. Choose the right one, forum administrators can be harsh and delete or even ban users for violating the established rules. In your topic, tell us about your startup, ask users' opinions, share news as the project grows and you can be sure the interested audience will be happy to leave their opinions, give the necessary advice and support the project after its release Web resources for Apps App review sites are tracked by people who love new things in the tech world or are just looking for something useful. They are not created directly for promotion, but you will get your share of the audience. These resources are all application-oriented, so if you don't have one and don't plan to release one in the future, you don't need them. These resources will be useful for both young developers and those whose startup is released in the AppStore and PlayMarket. Here is a small list that we have highlighted:
Free Press Releases Sites A press release is your startup's first exposure to your audience. Publishing a press release will help promote the project early on. Be sure to add an attention-grabbing news story in your press release to generate interest from the reader. Thus, a person will want to know more about the project and move on to a more detailed acquaintance. All sites for placement have their own requirements for a press release. Please review them before publishing your press release so that site moderation does not reject or delete it. Our marketers have compiled for you a list of sites where you can post your press release for free:
Conclusion As you can see, in order to announce your project to the world, it is not necessary to have huge budgets and recruit a team of marketers who will be engaged in your PR. You can start sharing information gradually and your project will definitely be noticed, shared with others, and gain recognition among the masses. And of course, don't forget about social media! Create pages in the most popular ones, share your experience and news about the project, gain an audience and you will succeed. Please write in the comments if the article was useful to you, share your experience, and feel free to supplement our list with your sources of free promotion on the Internet. And remember, in all listed resources, try to be a part of the community, don't expect to go in, leave your product and go out, participating in the process can bring you a lot of experience.

| How do companies innovate? With "Loonshots" Posted: 08 Sep 2021 10:44 AM PDT For every game-changing idea, there are countless concepts that lead nowhere. This puts companies in a difficult position. They ask themselves: "Is it worth investing time and money in innovation?" Even businesses that do like to experiment often get cold feet and fail to nurture what entrepreneur Safi Bahcall calls "loonshots": disruptive ideas that are crazy enough to work. Bahcall wrote a whole book about it and these are the insights that stuck out to me: -Most organizations start out in a high-stakes scenario: it's do-or-die, boom-or-bust. But then something changes at a structural level: success tends to make companies risk-averse. -Job titles and bonuses don't mean that much in the early days of a start-up. But once an operation gets off the ground, a survival impulse kicks in and decisions get conservative. -Take Nokia as an example. After decades of successful innovation, its engineers had another bright idea in 2004: a touchscreen phone that runs apps and has a camera built in. -Nokia's executives didn't back the idea. Three years later, Apple introduced the iPhone and revolutionized the mobile computing market. Nokia went from industry leaders to has-beens. -Safi Bahcall's research led him to believe that pioneering companies need to balance "radical innovation with operational excellence" while also keeping them separate from each other. -Loonshots, by nature, are fragile. They need to be nursed to health in isolation. Sharing crazy ideas with those responsible for a company's stability (or "franchising") risks killing them off. -The people who develop loonshots are the artists of any organization. The people who maintain a company's health are its soldiers. Both are equally important: a lesson Steve Jobs learned the hard way early on at Apple when he valued designers more than operators. -Good leadership acts as an intermediary between artists and soldiers, between loonshots and franchising. Leaders keep an open mind, don't micromanage, and focus on translating seemingly crazy ideas into ones that will feel irresistibly simple. That's the sweet spot of success. As before, I've bookmarked these notes so I can test to keep myself on track. Hope it's useful to you too! [link] [comments]  |

| Saw My Original Product In A Large Chain Today But Gave Up The Rights in 2013. Sigh. Posted: 07 Sep 2021 04:00 PM PDT In 2012 I was serving on Active Duty in the Marine Corps. While deployed to Afghanistan I got the idea for trademark licensing the Marine Corps logo and turning it into a car air freshener. Once deployment was over I worked out manufacturing, secured a trademark licensing agreement, established a trademark for my own brand of air fresheners and started looking for wholesale/distributors. It wasn't too long until I got some small orders and then I took those small successes about my reorder rates and pitched a company that provides products to all the military exchanges on base. This was actually pretty huge because the military exchange system is the 10th largest retail chain in America. My initial order from this distributor partnership was around $30,000 of product. It was a few months later and my original product was on store shelves at bases around the globe. It's kind of crazy but I parlayed this minor product success into another business opportunity. I had met the founder of Dominos Pizza who was himself a Marine. He was trying to start a delivery hamburger business with a military theme. I agreed to be the first and essentially only franchisee and launch this concept with him. He started with an initial $125,000 loan but over time we probably had close to a million invested in my restaurant. I didn't think I could run the air freshener business while also launching the restaurant so I told the distributor that I was shutting my doors. About a year later the Marine Corps trademark licensing renewal came around and I decided to let it lapse. I should also note that one of my big dreams was to take my brand and put military branded air fresheners in Autozone, Pep Boys etc. I was very green at business in those days so I hadn't quite worked that part out yet. The Burger Delivery concept ran for about 18 months before we realized we were not going to be able to franchise it like we thought. This was 2013-2015 before Ubereats and the delivery craze. It was a spectacular failure but I learned a lot. It cost me my military retirement because I left active duty for the venture and the stress, money problems and time away led to the breakup of my marriage. I tried opening my own cyber security consultancy and it failed. I opened an e-commerce business in 2018 and as a side hustle it does around $80k in sales but it doesn't make any profit. I've been very frustrated because I have had a lot of experience and am very much a do-er but I've not been able to either properly fund my ventures or I've had a lack of profit margin to properly grow. Today I was in a military exchange and I saw my original air freshener product with the same packaging and logos and everything - still selling after all these years. It's been about 7 years now and I haven't made a penny off it. Now I willingly gave it up thinking that my restaurant partnership with the Dominos founder was worth it and in many ways it was but I still don't feel like monetarily I have much to show for my efforts. Anyway I needed to vent - sometimes we make decisions not knowing how they'll turn out. I don't necessarily regret dropping the air fresheners idea but I wish I would have kept a part of it somehow and not just gave it up… especially seeing my original idea with my distributors brand name on my packaging art some 6-7 years later. Pic of the product on the shelf today I gave up too early or thought I couldn't focus on more than one thing - but last month I also saw my same product at those auto parts stores as well. I don't like to dwell in the past but this stings a little. I really hope I can connect on one of my ventures and not have a lifetime of regrets on the "one that got away." TLDR- I had a product I created from scratch and then dropped it for the next opportunity which eventually crashed and burned. Today I see my product still on sale yet I let my stake it in go many years ago. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2021 02:08 PM PDT I recently sold one of my niches to an individual on here and I am looking for another one. This one also is not Chinese whole sale. I am clearing $100-200 daily with this one and have netted 24k in 3.5 months. I've used Facebook Marketplace with all my niches but you're more than welcome to start a Shopify store with this. Whatever you pay will come with obviously the niche, my way of doing things, and the product source which is very important. There are tons of avenues to go down within the website. If you're interested let me know, if not no big deal. We can obviously go further into detail if you're interested! Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

I know this is a general and broad question but I just want to hear what you guys have to say. You can get creative if you want :) [link] [comments]  |
| Products don’t fall under cottage food program for Arizona. Posted: 08 Sep 2021 02:06 PM PDT Does anyone in Arizona have any experience going through the FDA for home made wellness products? I want to turn my hobby into my business but I'm having trouble understanding where my product would fall. I've left voicemails for both my states cottage food program, even though my products don't fall under the approved category and I've also left a voicemail at our local FDA office here. However, I'm hoping there might be someone with experience on where my jumping off point should be. The products are magnesium lotion and elderberry syrup/tincture/gummies. Thank you in advance!

| How to make money as a college student. Posted: 08 Sep 2021 05:26 AM PDT I'm a college student at ETSU. I will be here for several more years before completing my chosen path. As a college student, I need to learn if there is any way to make some sort of hands off income, not crazy numbers mind you, but every bit helps. In an ideal world, I could make enough to pay my rent and keep groceries in my apartment. However, I know this is unrealistic. (This would equate to likely around 650 monthly). I will soon run out of savings and take out a loan for my apartment, it can not be helped. However, if I could just make enough to keep food and a little bit of back up money, it would help tremendously. Now don't get it wrong, I have amazing parents who wouldn't let me go hungry or anything of that sort whatsoever. However, I'd like to no longer be a financial planner responsibility for them. They have recently taken in a childhood friend of my brother, due to his abusive home. This obviously was a huge unforeseen financial responsibility, causing my dad to go back to work after retiring less then a year ago. I'm not unreasonable, I'm sure most money making opportunities would require a good chunk of time, or at minimum a financial startup. For those who would say "get a job" I would, and still likely will if I find no other options, but my parents are pushing back against it as they don't want me to lose up to 36k in scholarship money by putting school 2nd, plus I already work 2 days for one of my scholarships. I also would have to give up seeing my family as often, as I couldn't see them on weekends, unless I was on a break from school. I know I'm likely asking for something unrealistic, but, people of Reddit, any advice [link] [comments]  |
| Looking to help people startup Posted: 08 Sep 2021 05:24 AM PDT Hi everyone, I am looking to start some freelance work helping new entrepreneurs to start-up. I have done a little bit of voluntary work with people looking to start up in the past and I am also most of the way through a master degree in buisness psychology, studying entrepreneurship, HR, and strategic planning. I am attempting to put my own business strategy together now and work out my products and services. I am mostly writing this because I want to survey a few questions 1) what what the biggest barriers are that you are facing now or have faced in the past in starting up your business? 2) would you pay someone with minimal experience to help you develop your market research strategy plan? 3) Would you prefer to pay a consultant to speak with and communicate your ideas with and work out your strategy or purchase a specific product or service (please specify) 4) how much would a service like this be worth to you or your company? 5) as an someone looking to break into entrepreneurship, have you considered paying someone to help develop market research and development? 6) where would you look for this type of service? Thank you, I really would appreciate your responses! [link] [comments]  |
