    twitter vs email marketing

    MARKETING 
    It seems like a very narrow age group. bordering on the age where they should not be allowed to buy products on their own (or they might not even have their own means of payment yet). What is your business model? Are you aiming to sell to your audience or are you aiming to sell their attention...

    Monthly payments, percentage on generated sales or a combination?

    QUESTION 
    I would like to know if you guys had any insights to share about pricing models? My business (outlined in my insiders progress thread in my signature) is based on getting companies to sign up and I present those companies in a marketplace app I have built and then consumers will buy from those...

    I'm thinking that the money brings the freedom of time. So thinking that if the only way to that kind of freedom means letting go of controll in the form of investors or partners maybe Im not actually creating the "correct" business since that violate spart of CENTS down the line? I do know...

    I know the mechanics of expansion while paying yourself, its just a matter of expanding primarily and paying yourself whatever is left. My thoughts was about how it will be viewed (by employees and potential shareholders/partners) and how to justify the, at that point, large payments? Building...

    GOLD! NEWSLETTER 
    I might not be knowledgeable enough to know how, in practice, I would be paying myself through the company I own apart from the monthly salary and from the dividends at the end of the year. But if you have build a company that ticks all the boxes of CENTS, how would one come to such levels of...

    MEETUPS 
    I would love to be there too! I'm moving from Stockholm to 45min north of Alicante, Spain the 17th of Aug with my wife and 2 year-old. I would vote Spain, but not because I'm lazy. The weather is amazing and the people are super friendly! I should say though that Marbella might be too hot...

    Is there a better way to reach more people?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    Is there a way of integrating with the current solution they are using? Do that solution have an API that you can leverage somehow? Rome was not built in a day. There are probably people that are willing to use your solution on the side even if they are using the current thing as a main app...

    Is there a better way to reach more people?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    Try finding comunitites within your niche and post requests there. follow the money, as in find the people paying for the service you are doing better. Maybe gamify the experience? restrict the time of usage of the app, and give the user more time to use if they provide feedback?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    By all means, post failures too! That is both therapeutic for yourself to acknowledge it is such and then it will be easier to step outside it and learn from it. A failure is not a failure if you learn something from it, then its called progress and opportunity! And also, I don't know how long...

    Maybe you have found yourself a partner if he is as entrepreneurial as you say? Easier expansion with two people in the same mindset! The danger might be that once he sees your model he goes out and starts doing it on his own? Is there a way of transferring money to your business account? Like...

    Prototype done. Pre-orders or straight to sales?

    MARKETING 
    Imagine yourself walking into the set of shark tank. And think of what they might say to you. would they see the potential? the expansion possibilities? If you are hesitant on what they would think, fire up you thinking cap again and try to see even more ways to add value to the user, AND the...

    Prototype done. Pre-orders or straight to sales?

    MARKETING 
    I Like the idea! As others say the gym owners would be primarily the people to sell to. Have you though of making a version for individuals? Maybe something universal that fits on your water bottle that you can place near the equipment. With a small flashing LED to catch attention? :P

    I hope that what I wrote didn't made it seem like I implied it did not affect you. That was not my intention. And if so, I deeply apologize. You obviously came out on top stronger and I salute you for that! Lesser events has brought down stronger men.

    Good reasons to wait?

    FEEDBACK 
    I never thought that I would be able to start a company before starting. But I have always had a mindset saying that I can learn what ever I need to learn through the internet. For instance, I taught myself to service vintage mechanical watches through youtube. It's a useless skill in of itself...

    LAUNCHED A PLATFORM MARKETPLACE, NOW WHAT??

    MARKETING 
    I believe, and now I'm wondering if I might be wrong, that advertising is different from telling people about your business in the context of getting tips and suggestions. Advertising is more like "join my service/buy my product and you'll be instantly rewarded with a lifetime of happiness". I...
