The idea you have is what's often referred to as a "tripwire." But doing a service for a few bucks a month is such a hassle. Create something "tangible" to give away or sell instead like a small book or report. You do the work just once and they can get the goods immediately. Caveat: you...

I wouldn't trust you if you buy views/followers/fans. That just tells me you're shady, you have something to hide and your results aren't true. I'd worry about what you'd be doing behind the scenes, and if I have to worry about that, you're out. There are lots of great marketing firms that...

"ORM" is just a tactic... just a thing or means to improve and amplify reputation. One slice of the pie. It's not something you implement and expect magical results. If the business has its own problems, that's not something you can force a business owner to fix. Trying to pile on "solutions"...

I agree with you there. People aren't going to leave a review just because you ask. I mean they will, more often than if you don't ask, but you want to give them motivation to do so. Not just with prizes, but with customer experience. A hotel would have many opportunities to make their guests...

They've always gotten this sort of negative exposure, but nothing has really changed yet. They know people use it. There was a site by a business owner with their pricing and results on it, and they were getting nothing out of Yelp. Promised lots of traffic, but only got like 20 max, each click...

There's no complete system unless you want to get into unhelpful generalities. If you want to be successful, you need to have uncommon sense, and you need to stop copying what everyone else is doing and offering. I strongly recommend at least familiarizing yourself with direct-response...

One liner with a few common file extensions added: filetype:pdf | filetype:doc | filetype:docx | filetype:odt "seo" agreement|contract The spacing between the vertical bars and file types is needed. And you should mention that it's best to find one from a local company if going this route

This. Always track your emails. There are a bunch of tracking services available like Tout, Yesware, Boomerang and Streak. If you know they're at least getting opened, you're fine. Follow up. If they're not getting opened, test your subject line. Try again. If you think they just aren't...

Samsung is doing something similar with the Power Sleep app and the University of Vienna. Has nothing to do with coins, but people are contributing their phone(s)' processing power to help with something as well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.samsung.powersleep&hl=en

Try Ironpants .

The software's website has been saying "Coming Soon" for over a year. He has tons of different landing pages with all sorts of prices - $497, $97, $147. And I've used it - it was okay. Worked some of the time. I've looked at his other products (which are outdated). They all give me the same...

Wow, I had no idea about that. I guess it makes sense. My friend said the program was a headache. Are there are certain things you're not allowed to disclose to people? What was the main issue you stopped? Edit: Yeah, my friend didn't try to sell on monetary benefits. That's why I mentioned...

I'd say expect to spend at least $2000 for the equipment. saveferris mentioned it being a hard sell at $100-500. The key is to target more upscale businesses where image and presentation is important. It doesn't matter what industry. There are businesses in every industry like this, and they...

Ok, so you'll want to target people with money. People who desperately need to get these taken down. Politicians, people in industries with high customer value (most medical-related fields, all sorts of contractors, etc.) , criminals, etc. They probably already know why would they need your...

Everyone seems to be giving very broad, generic suggestions and are completely forgetting about possible underlying causes. There's a few things that come to mind from seeing your results: Copywriting issue Sales issue (overcoming concerns, objections, etc.) Not competent in what you're...
