And the winner was....
No shortage of ideas
(Don’t confuse a hobby for a business)
Solve a genuine problem
How’re you going to make money?
Who’s it for? Who’re you competing with? How’re you different (and better)?
Give a taste of the future.
Get me excited. Make it tangible.
Show me you can sell, sell, sell.
Who’s going door-to-door?
You can’t do it on your own: team & balance.
Twitter / Facebook / SEO is not a marketing strategy.
Look (and feel) fantastic: words, branding, bizplan, presentation, aesthetics.
The future’s bright....
Thanks & good luck!
