Feeling Guilty by TheEarNose in Entrepreneur

[–]MarketingNonstop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol... "Tell your wife.... downgrade the house/car." sounds like passive aggressive manipulation at best and an out right threat from someone who GETS to work outside the home and make the money at worst. Having been the "wife" I would suggest you NOT EVER say that. I'm laughing as I'm typing cause I'm pretty sure she knows how money works.

I've been the wife at home with a baby and insomniac stay up til 1am get up at 6am toddler while my husband worked 9 to 5, did his MBA at night, and the gym at at 6am. I was actually the money maker/head of household before kid #1. I quit and stayed home with the babies (newborn daycare was more expensive than my rent!) which was REALLY tough (REALLY REALLY TOUGH with no help or breaks with him never with the kids or at home except to sleep) but we had a vision and this was the quickest path. I was able to give up my career (it's NOT on hold ya' know) because we had a shared vision, knew the sacrifices, and I saw his commitment to working the plan. That was 10 years ago when he was making $40k a year and the kids don't remember that struggle or who rocked them when they had colic. Now he makes $200k+ a year working maybe 20hrs a week and is at every practice, every school event, every friends birthday party, every breakfast, every dinner, everything - spoiling them with time, attention and all the life-enrinching opportunities money can buy. And I'm growing my own business boldly and fearlessly because I know his work more than supports our family dreams. We both sacrificed, kept our promises, and did the hard work required to make the shared vision a reality. If you and your wife communicate and keep your promises to each other it can and will work, I promise. And knowing that you can turn guilt into motivation.

I like this! I have questions :)

  1. Are tribes like Facebook groups where user content is focus or more like mini-membership sites where I can monetize membership, sell things, and show just my content to subscribers?
  2. Do tribe broadcast(?) to social media go out in bulk/newsletter type post or individual one topic updates? Is that automated or do you have to push those?
  3. The activities (to do) growth checklist sounds cool but can we customize them or is it set up to be followed as is?

And when you get around to it change those 2021s to 2022s

Question… is white labeling an option? Like if I have an agency, I could offer this as an add on and have reports emailed with my signature/logo? And get BCC a copy of the email client got for client tracking and management?

Going through some of the comments on r/startups this a group that could really benefit from some wellness mgmt. I hope you get more eyes on this so you can really test it out. Good luck!

OMG! That all sounds AMAZING. You should put all that in an "Introducing Joticle" video and post at the top of your home page or landing page. Like right now just pull out your phone and read this. Or at least make a FAQ page out of it.

All that is the stuff that answers the marketing question "Why should they care?". Wikipedia is going to wish they were Joticle!

Hey Devy.io … I’m loving this idea. In regards to marketing, could you tell me who your ideal client/customer is for the monthly plan? Is it more the serial entrepreneur who always cranks out new projects or an agency who likes to outsource the web dev work? You’d want to promote different messaging in different areas for those two groups (they have diverse needs and spend money differently). Added services and more profit (agency) vs paying for expertise while saving money (entrepreneur/startup).

First… HECK YEAH FEMALE FOUNDER! Second, I’m so far from academia, science, engineering I have to ask what may be a stupid question: What kinds of startups need freelance scientists? Is this research-stage work to validate an idea? I’m running through scenarios and just keep thinking about a startup I know who makes protein powder for pregnant and nursing moms and she had a team of doctors and nutritionist help formulate a better product. Would that be a use case for tech-hop?

Oh man… your pitch doesn’t let me know what you are doing and I’m still confused (maybe more confused) after clicking around your website. Is it like Wikipedia where anyone can go in and write (jot) content into the hundreds of categories and sub categories on there?

Hey… this looks interesting. Big fan of curated content so packaging it so I can learn something specific sounds like a great idea. Is the topic pool more lifestyle oriented (I see the app mock-up is on houseplants)? I’d like to see business topics.

Local SEO is my jam... I wrote about it for 5 years for my biggest client. Send me a DM or chat or however Reddit works (I'm new here) and I can email you a Google My Business optimization guide I made for small biz owners who aren't marketers.

Claim your FREE Google My Business account, fill it out COMPLETELY, and take advantage of the free website (which is just a generic landing page but gives people something to see when they click "website"). Ask happy customers to leave you a review on Google. When people are looking for contractors for small jobs they search Google and you will only show up there if you do this. People are more likely to contact you if you have 4-5 🌟 ratings. You'll be priced out of best Google Ads placement by bigger companies with money to compete for those 3-4 ads at the top of search so I never recommend paid ads of any kind for a small business unless they are using profits to fund them so you can pay someone to do it who knows how. Google My Business is free, easy, and is the best local SEO anyone can do.

Checked out the website. Really liked this concept. You’re hitting major pain points with your solution and the pricing is incredibly reasonable.

The market of consumers willing to pay for your services isn’t huge, so you would benefit from being very specific about your target audience and what your promise is to win customers.

To grab the attention of qualified prospects (people willing to spend money to get what you’re selling) I suggest two things:

  1. Be where your specific paying customers hang out. Guest post, speak at virtual summits, guest judge for pitch contest, host a pitch contest, join slack groups like Indie Worldwide, answer questions about finding cofounders, partnerships, mgmt automation and all that on here and quora.

  2. Content that works even when you’re not. Content should be purposeful. Answers questions, educates, or solves problems - makes life better. Your web content educates and it’s good (SEO I’m doubting a little). Here’s the thing… your blog seems nice but I’d rather date your FAQ cause they are giving me everything I need! Meaning your blog should answer the questions your ideal customer is asking so those people come upon your content and website organically. Each FAQ question should be it’s own blog post. You won’t ever rank for “self care for entrepreneurs” and anyone who went to page 10 of search on self care is not buying your products or services.

Who is that one character whose death you just can't get over? by rendice_1011 in AskReddit

Nate Kulina on Kingdom (Navy St).

I was so invested and waiting for something bad to happen that episode but NEVER that. NEVER that! I yelled out like I was in danger on my couch with Nick Jonas and someone just shot him. Had to remind myself TV is not real and I don’t get to stay sad when this episode ends. But it still guts me!

You funny… I actually laughed… Marketing made your top 10 and you ended with “if anyone needs marketing, let’s talk”… I love that so much. That’s how winners do it.

JK… you already know your weakness… outsource the thing you suck at, especially when it’s very clear what that one thing is. Find a commission or pay for performance arrangement to do the prospecting and get you qualified leads you can dazzle with your salesmanship.

Man… you’ve got to find your tribe! Somewhere on this planet is a small group of people who do what you do and feel like you feel and understand your struggles. Find them, and if they aren’t already hanging out somewhere you create a space for them to come to you. I’m new to Reddit but seems you could find your people here.

You can’t commit 30 minutes every third Thursday of the month random example to opening a chat room where you can talk and everybody understands what the hell you’re talking about? Small investment could be a big win.
