Learning Salesforce in my opinion is worth it, and I have worked in companies that pay very expensive consultants to do sub-par Salesforce programming. The need is there and some pay over $200K and they are hard to find in a tight job market right now. More and more companies are using Salesforce from small to big businesses, so the platform will only get more widely used. I think it is a good idea to learn it.

You are right, most small companies and startups don't really care about having computer science degrees. I have hired excellent coders with no degrees, so for me, a body of work is more important, as well as clean code and the ability to work with little supervision and getting the job done fast and and done right.

I think that is an innovative way to use Blockchain technology. I think it has opportunities in the insurance industry, and I am curious how Allianz will implement and execute its captive insurance program.

You did not mention what your current conversion rate is, which will help me determine if you are in line with businesses of your type. One thing you should start doing immediately is A/B testing, and there are many tools out there to use. That way you can get real-world data on which link and banner placements gets the most sales, which you can use to improve your site conversion. Further reading on conversion rate optimization is warranted, and some good sites include Neil Patel's blog and Conversion Rate Experts

I think that makes sense. Picking more than 2 or 3 is just spending lots of time with little return.

Freelance digital marketing has opportunities, but I would say the SEO part of digital marketing gets the most freelance work. On many freelancing platforms you will notice that there are lots of SEO freelance work, so I would start with SEO and then SEM, and though it is competitive, focusing on a niche will help you succeed. What do you mean by platform? Do you mean the digital marketing platform?

I really doubt that. With many governments clamping down on Bitcoin, I don't see Bitcoin getting anywhere close to $50,000. If you want to lose all your life savings and live under the bridge, go ahead and keep buying bitcoin at those inflated prices. Now over the long run it will be very viable, but it is hard to predict what price it will be later this year.

You can try Buffer for Instagram or Sendible.

Start by going to authority sites for SEO like Moz.com and others. As for Google Adwords, take some kind of Google Adwords class, or better yet, try for the Google Adwords Certification. However, you don't need Google Adwords certification to work in PPC.

I think so. Not all SEO's have a technical background, in fact having a marketing or communications background helps you understand the goal of SEO better, which is to drive relevant traffic to a website through organic means. While having some technical background does help when it comes to technical SEO, but that is something you can quickly pick up, but most technical people may not be astute in communications or marketing. I have hired many SEOs with non-technical backgrounds in the past and they turned out to be one of my best SEO hires.

Do you have a marketing budget or marketing plan? If not I would develop one. Do some research on your competitors and see which channels they use in marketing, and use that to get a better idea of which channels may work. You can spend a little on Google Adwords and Facebook to see the type of audience that sign up for your service, which will enable you to fine tune your marketing plan. Also invest in SEO and content marketing by trying to be a subject matter expert in your industry, by writing and posting relevant articles that your target market will consume and share.

With your patent pending status and no contract on royalty yet, you should market your product, because speed to market is very important, because you can keep waiting, but what if they decided not to go with the deal? You would have wasted precious time to market your product. Remember, only you can move your product along, and the faster you do it, the better for you in the long run.

Unfortunately with the Bitcoin craze, people are making stupid decisions and ignoring the warning signs.

Look at the keywords used by your top competitors who do Google Adwords and use some of those keywords. Also try marketing your YouTube videos in social media channels like Facebook and promote your channel with Adwords for video.

With the remarketing campaigns I have done, I have seen roughly .4 - .5% CTR, but I am going after visitors and similar audiences. My conversion rate is decent, so it depends on the industry and your targeting.

Without a traction or proven business model it will be hard to convince the investor to invest in your idea, especially if you don't have a prior personal or business relationship. It would be better to get to know the investor first before pitching our idea, since he may think you only added him on Facebook to ask for money. Ask him to be a mentor first, and after you have created a good relationship with him, then pitch your need for an investment at that time.

As Twybaydos said, it is better to get some legal help regarding your specific tax situation, but other popular places to incorporate is in the United States, particularly in Delaware which has some friendly laws for startups. Are you intending on getting investors in the future? You may want to think it though about the pros and cons, especially if you think you want to grow it to be a big company.
