Stop trying to "convince" people. You know, there is power in the testimony. A lot of startup companies use friends and family to test out the product and service and to help spread the word. If there is any way to offer a trial of your service, you might give that a go as well. Work to build...
Personally, I think you should be focusing heavily on your current users that are loyal to your brand currently and worry less on trying to buy users and get more brand awareness. To be frank you should be letting your strongest customers do all the promotion for you organically. "K-factor" This ...
You need to think about the user experience for the first 50 people, as you are doing. If you're not solving a problem for them, then there is no value, so the user base will not grow. It's always easy to envision a product or service which if you have e.g 1m users is valuable; but the hard part...

Great question! I had a similar one this week after finding out the last person I used didn't submit my 2021 taxes. I would do a quick google search for experts in your area, or ask any friends if they know someone they trust. You can also try turbo tax, but they won't be able to help you write o...
Hi! It's always worth trying to negotiate for a higher step when offered a new position. However, whether or not you can negotiate a higher step in your case may depend on the specific policies and regulations of your agency. In general, the federal government has regulations in place that gover...
You need to check your analytics and see where your visitors are leaving. Also test your sales copy and modify it until you see results. Give me a call if you would like some in depth help.
