We sell both through the retail chain and direct on our website. The only way to encourage customers to buy from you rather than your stockists is to provide more value than your retailers. The advantage you have as a manufacturer is your intense knowledge for your products. Educate your custome...
If you're using source control, it's easy to track source and control access — or revoke access — if someone leaves the company. Also, your developers should have signed a contract about the project itself that clearly places the source code under your/the client's/the company's control, and if...
Unfortunately all the numbers are off. Content builds on itself in an accumulative fashion. Much of it is unquantifiable, but the success comes as breakthrough success after building your authority over time (atleast 18 months of consistent publishing content.) Those 1000 monthly visitors shoul...

First of all, finding keywords that are relevant to your products or services is the first step in an SEO effort. If the words are not under high demand for advertisements, the keywords can be more cost effective as long as there is still sufficient search volume. In other words, you want to make...
100% yes. Make sure it works in your area. Having a regional manager or CEO doesn't make sense at all. Not for the market, not for investors, not for you either. The Founder-CEO should be able to pull it off, otherwise you don't seem like a good bet as a product or as an investable venture.
You don't need much to get an MVP together. Check out SimpleWebRTC for a free, open source video conferencing solution. I just built a live video platform using a variation of that software (the next generation, Otalk, which is more complex) and found it really simple to get things breathing. ...
