    Where do I here my programmers: Anywhere I find someone competent. I've worked with great guys from India before, but I've also sadly had to deal with some people with the IQ equal to that of a rock ... Long story short: your mileage will vary when outsourcing. But best place though, is...

    There are many fax systems out there, some mentioned above already, but why would your client/boss/friend want to send that via fax? Seems to me that it would only increase time and costs for everyone involved ... That said, if you are going to go with the fax idea anyway I recommend changing...

    Building my USP - Landscaping company

    Another fun thing you can do is join the local chamber of commerce. I don't really see any landscaping companies in any of my local chambers.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I whole heatedly and respectfully disagree. As a pet project, by all means code it yourself. But if you are trying to start a solid large income business I'd highly recommend letting the professionals handle the things you don't know ie: the design and development. I'm a full blown nerd and...

    How do you know when your website is ready?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yup, that healthstatus said. You're website will never ever be 100% ready. You said you've been working on it for a long time? I'm guessing you've got your design done. Sales pages up. Great! Is it perfect? You probably don't think so. Who the hell cares? SOMETHING is done. It's already...

    I have NO idea what more to do!

    IDEA 
    There's a lot going on that we can't comment on without seeing the site. But that said, ask yourself this: are you really giving the 'dentists' a reason to sign up? And I mean a real reason. What true benefit would it have for them, to sit down, google your website, sign up, upload their info...

    Decreasing Bounce Rate

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I love the idea of asking visitors for more content ideas. Might even start splitting up my content to decrease bounce-rate ... but here's the rub: most of my articles, this is on my personal blog, are pretty much one off articles. Simple instructions on how to do things. For example, I'm on...

    How Much is a Really Good Web Developer Worth?

    Being a developer myself, my wife a professional designer and me owning a web development/consulting firm: the cost really depends on your requirements. But, to answer your direct question from the title: how much is a good developer worth: $100,000 or more per year/project (depending on scope)...

    First Clients; Advertise to Chains or Independent Operators?

    I know this is getting off-topic a bit, but why would you have to be the one making sales first? Why not 'outsource' from the get-go? If you suck at sales, find someone to sell for you. If you suck at programming, get a web dev person to do it for you. Don't waste time on doing things you suck...

    Anyone makes money using AdF.ly

    TA isn't the way to go. Fun for playing around while learning the ropes, but twitter spam will only get you so far. Why not instead invest in a quality landing page, put your own product (use PLR if you don't have your own) on tht site the drive traffic through direct ads on targeted pages...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I read the book, finished several months ago but forgot to post. Very fun and interesting read. I've seen books with a crapton of fluff and a lot less educational for a lot more monies. A great ready for many people :) Loved the part about the decision matrix, still use it!

    Shark tank is back!

    I've never seen the show but I've seen small snippets, is it really worth while or is it just an overhyped reality BS show?

    Value based selling ... say wha?

    I was listening to an old video by Allen Weiss about Value Based Consulting/Selling. I get the general idea of this: your prices reflect the value you give to the client. What I'm stuck on is the implementation of this idea. Currently I'm thinking of it like this, and since I can't truly wrap...

    Please Critique my concept, business/revenue/marketing model

    MARKETING 
    It's a great idea though your largest barrier will be the students themselves. Buying/selling used textbooks is already achieved through many other sources. Selling notes though, that's ... tough I think. For example, coming from a computer science major: someone else's notes won't help me much...

    Is internet marketing an effective tool for any kinda business?

    MARKETING 
    Well, doing internet marketing the right way will help you get more leads. That's what PPC, copyrighting, quality design and SEO are all about. In my web design firm, for example, we're creating niche pages targeted at the city level. So, here in the northwest Chicago suburbs where is a nice...

    Follow the Wikipedia mold?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Are you looking for wiki-style webpage? If so, you can use the standard open source wiki software for that. No one (as far as I know) associates it with Wikipedia. Though if you don't want to associate yourself with Wikipedia, use the quality layout they have but change the colors, logos and...

    Residual income with mobile websites - Is it possible?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I own a web design and development company and I can tell you with 100% certainty that they WON'T call you day and night about changes. It's simple like this: In the contract, and everywhere on your marketing material and website, mention your working hours are between 9 and 6 (for example)...

    Working with C-class executives? Too much awesome ...

    I'm in a interesting position where I'll (most likely) oversee the growth and vision (and since I'm a geek the technology side as well) of a newly formed company as (most likely) CEO. That's nothing all too new to me. My small worry is being able to stand up and properly work with highly...

    One word for 2012: Awesome. One sentence: The world will take me where the winds blow, but I'll steer my ship accordingly to the right path to freedom.

    Ethics of fake employee listings on website ...

    Hey all,I just finished chapter 40 of the millionare fastlane book, and one idea raised an eyebrow of mine.The idea, mentioned by MJ, is to 'appear big, but act small'. Meaning that you have the look of a large corporation, but your client service is world class awesome. That's not what gave me...
