    My business idea - seeking for opinions

    INTRO 
    OP, forget about hiring electricians and training them. It's way too risky a business proposition for a first-time entrepreneur. Here is what I would do. Find a tried-and-tested business model of a business that sells leads to electricians. (Probably in the USA there are some) Then copy it...

    Web Design Agency

    IDEA 
    This really stuck out. Why are you not exploiting this? The web design agency space is really competitive. Visit one of those "technology for healthcare" exhibitions.

    Embarking on a Marketing Adventure - Need wisdom regarding new clients

    MARKETING 
    OP, I agree that a "free" session is a great idea. However, you really need to have a more concrete plan in place. I know the SMB space pretty well.

    Congratulations - that is great news! Cold-calling is not a tactic that most influencers will use. However, it is my belief that it is still the most powerful form of marketing ever. When when you mix cold-calling + selling the idea of influencers to companies - you could be on to a good...

    Of course! There are already many online courses for sale trying to "sell the dream" to wannabe influencers. You could be like a rockstar manager but for influencers.

    Ok, I've been investigating this area a little more in depth. I'm a firm believer in looking at opportunities in this area. In the long run, it can save a lot of time. Yes, that sounds copy-cat. That sounds unoriginal. But, it can also save time and money. Here is what I've learnt: 1) Most...
