Identifying the Right Venture Capital Firm Partner
Venture capital firms are comprised of individual partners. These partners make investment decisions and typically take a seat on each portfolio company’s Board. Partners tend to invest in what they know, so finding a partner that has past work experience in your industry is very helpful. This relevant experience allows them to more fully understand your venture’s value proposition and gives them confidence that they can add value, thus encouraging them to invest.Fortunately, most venture capital firm websites list their partn

Affiliate Marketing - How Can You Earn Those Affiliate Marketing Commissions?
"I have heard that affiliate marketing can be a very lucrative endeavour and I would really love to earn my share of those affiliate marketing commissions!"Does the above statement ring a bell somewhere in the recesses of your mind? Yes? No?Well, it doesn't really matter. Truth be told, thousands upon thousands of new and old affiliate marketers worldwide have uttered or are uttering those exact same words...as we "speak".For the purposes of this discuss, we will assume that you are one of them...So how can you e

Six months ago, as our first job experience after graduating from college, my best friend and I started an online music store. That made us immediately stand out from the crowd. We haven't started advertising yet, online or elsewhere. We had no prior business experience, programming knowledge, or any idea of how the music industry works. We've made almost every mistake possible. And success has never seemed so easy. Why? We merely applied the essential business principle which seems to be lacking in both the music and Internet communities, and that made us immediately stand out from the crowd.

Having a brand-new business pay both its bills and ours from the very first week was rewarding, but the qualitative benefits are much greater. One of our customers keeps buying records from us (over $150 worth so far) even though she still doesn't have a record player. Bands we don't release ask if they can put our name and logo on their new CDs. A customer of our monthly music subscription service spontaneously started sending us copies of rare music from his collection each month. Every day our inbox is filled with messages which tell us that MeteorCity (our company) is the greatest thing since

Going Public: The Four Categories of Cost
The costs to go public via direct public offering varies substantially with the type of company, size and complexity. The four major costs include:1. The accounting fees: When a private company goes public, they must obtain financial audits. These audits are incorporated into a registration statement that is subsequently filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.The cost of financial audits have a significant range. There are several factors that influence the cost of financial audits: a)

Avoiding Useless Confrontation
If you are like most people, it will not take long to encounter a situation where you feel slighted in one way or another by someone you are trying to do business with. When these situations arise, it is helpful to know how to approach the problem in a way that results in getting the results you want without throwing gasoline on the flames. With a careful choice of wording, you can turn a negative into a positive, and get the offending party to tumble over themselves to make things right.To illustrate this point, I will use

Marketing Lies
I keep reading articles on marketing that seem to be written by aliens.I don't mean to be arrogant here, but why is it that the advertising and marketing community permits this constant flow of misleading information to be passed around like some mind-bending drug at a fraternity party?I think the Harvard Professors who teach some of this tripe should have to make a company profitable for a couple of years before pontificating their ivory tower theories to MBA candidates who think these people actually know what they ar

Public Relations for Restaurants
Public relations is very important for restaurants and lately in Fall of 2006 we have seen many of eating establishments take some heavy hits due to citizens in an uproar that restaurants do not tell us what is in the ingredients of the food on the menus. In New York they tried to pass a law that would make it mandatory for all food to have also listed what was in it. Of course some restaurants have secret ingredients and this was problematic.Another recent development was the idea that Transfat would not be allowed to be sold

f our monthly music subscription service spontaneously started sending us copies of rare music from his collection each month. Every day our inbox is filled with messages which tell us that MeteorCity (our company) is the greatest thing since air travel. Each week a different customer calls or writes us asking if we would like to stay at his or her home. Our customers asked us to release a CD, and now that it's one week from coming out we continuous get calls from magazines and stores telling us that our customers want them to review and carry it. And, as you can imagine from all this, over sixty percent of our customers order from us again--at least once a month.

How did this happen? It's so simple it's amazing. Customer service. We try to respond to each customer individually, and when we get too many orders to do that, we still let them know that they're important--such as by dropping e-mails to let them know that we will answer their questions as soon as possible. We learned how to program, coordinate with distributors, and produce CDs on our own as we went along; but customer service we wielded as our most essential tool from day one.

I wish this was as obvious as it sounds.
