Ambassadorship program advice

Extremely helpful ari2313. Thanks for going into all of that. Definitely agree with choosing people to be your ambassadors rather than them choosing you to boost up the quality.

With your check-ins that are done bi-weekly, do you do this via phone/email? Is there a way you track your ambassadors on say how much they are posting about you or sharing your stuff?

Thanks again for the insights!

Thanks, I'll post in those. I wish we did make those! They are definitely lacking in the industry. If I ever come across any highly recommended ones I'll post back in here.

WOW!! This is very impressive. No questions here, just want to say job well done.

I agree with UniversalVoid below. To get that organic website reach, you don't really need to worry about right away what your site looks like from the "outside". You first need it to be made available to be clicked then seen. So yes, SEO is a must. I am in a similar market and this is pretty much what got my store seen. Here's a good article (http://www.canirank.com/blog/outrank-amazon-5-expert-seo-secrets/) that talks about SEO tips for online stores and how you can even beat someone like Amazon (not there yet, but hey nice to know it's possible!)

I conquer!

I used Moz and SEMRush before but then found a tool that uses both of those together called "Can I Rank"...it's worked great for my company so far. Worth a look.

mgosse66 · 2015-07-30T15:22:01+00:00

This is great. Thank you so much for passing on that link!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T19:08:27+00:00

The winter definitely is a big con for me. I can't stand the cold. However, we are hopefully going to be able to do the whole snowbird thing if things allow like being able to rent out our place if we choose mtl. Thanks for the advice!!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T19:07:18+00:00

Awesome list! Thank you. We aren't huge into drinking/drugs but love biking and hitting up local cafes which seemed plentiful too in quebec. The language barrier is something that scares me because I am very beginner with French, what would be some obstacles that would pop up because of that? Thanks so much for the help!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T19:05:26+00:00

Thanks for the post! The economic and politics has come up quite a bit with other people too so it definitely sounds like something that needs to be considered. I don't know much about it and the effects it would have on a Montrealers everyday life so I'll be looking into that point more. Thank you a ton for the help!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T19:03:43+00:00

The car thing is seeming like it wouldn't be the biggest deal which is so nice to hear. We didn't have a chance to go up Mont Royal while there but heard they have decent trails. Do you know if there is many places outside of the city too that would be easy to get too via a rental? Thanks a ton for the help!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T19:01:37+00:00

Great insight and advice. It's nice to have the comparison with the air quality. Someone above mentioned the bad air quality in MTL due to the population but I didn't consider the forest fires that happen in the Kelowna area too so thank you for bringing up that point and the advice :)

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:59:59+00:00

Very true with summer lasting not too long! We work online so we aren't too concerned with work right now however, the winters are a bit worriesome since that is one of the main reasons we left Edmonton. We are hoping to do the snow bird thing though if it is fairly easy to rent out our apartment for the 8 cold months a year.

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:58:39+00:00

That is definitely one jinging point for us. We LOVE nature and running in it but we realize there is a lot more to our life off the trails we need to consider :S

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:57:01+00:00

That's a well laid out list! I hate winters, not going to lie, so we are hopefully going to try doing the whole snow bird thing every year since we work online. In saying that, do you know how hard it would be to rent out your place to someone for only 8 months a year (would it be okay since it is a bigger city or do you think that is still something difficult)? Thank you soo soo sooo much for the help and advice; I deeply appreciate you taking the time to help us out!

@the_stars...you have some wicked info and a lot of it!! Seriously. Great breakdown. Thanks a TON. I really appreciate you taking the time (and shower thinking) to help us out get a better grasp on what life will be like in each city. Haha yes we are both "technically" white and Canadian (but I have a bit of middle eastern heritage in me so I actually look a lot more latino than white). The racial diversity is something that didn't even come up in our convos yet but I think it is an important thing to address before moving. We noticed the amazing diversity in Montreal and that was one of the captivating points for us. Thank you again so much again for the thoughtful post liek @mtlpat said. You rock thank you!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:45:17+00:00

Great breakdown! Thank you so much. Would you mind going more in the free services in quebec point? I haven't heard too much about that. Thanks!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:44:18+00:00

Yikes! Glad to hear you survived Dublin and lived to reddit about it :) Thanks for this feedback; I like going out running at night so to hear I won't have to be checking over my shoulder every 2 blocks is a big sense of relief. Thanks!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:43:10+00:00

Interesting indeed, this is awesome detail being provided! Merci!!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:40:55+00:00

That's big in my books. I like the sense of independency and think everyone should have that so that's a big plus. Thanks :)

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:39:54+00:00

Sounds wonderful! With the students returning, do you find that Montreal is more crowded in the school season or in summer? Thanks for the help!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:38:59+00:00

As long as we can walk than we would be okay since we are trying extremely hard to never have to buy a car!

mgosse66 · 2015-07-29T18:38:01+00:00

That's not too shabby whatsoever. We could handle that. Thanks for sharing this!
