    Survey for new business (and the chance to win a prize!)

    Hi there, I'm conducting some market research for a new business idea and wondered whether anyone would be interested in taking the survey? It is specifically for new business owners, so either someone who hasn't started up yet or someone who has run their business for 2 years or less. It...

    How much do/would you pay for content?

    These are all really excellent answers. Thanks a lot. It's quite interesting to see it from the other side :)

    Where do you find freelancers?

    Well, the freelancers in my group are from a wide range of industries. I would say the most common would be: Copywriters/content marketers, social media managers, graphic designers, and web developers/designers.

    Where do you find freelancers?

    I run a group for freelancers and last week the topic was: Where do you find your work? There were so many different answers and it was interesting to see it from their point of view. However, now I thought I'd ask business owners where they find their freelancers. To see whether it matches up...

    How much do/would you pay for content?

    I run a free course and Facebook group for freelance writers and we've recently been talking about money. Gulp! There seems to be such a variation in 'the going rate' that I thought it would be interesting to put the question to business owners. Have you ever paid for content for your website...

    Telesales targets advice

    Having worked in telesales before I would say this: Only set targets for leads (appointments) and actual sales. As Hazel said above, there are too many 'what ifs' when it comes to setting call and time limits. Most sales people like to work at their own pace and on their own schedule. If they...

    Thanks @StevePoster - Where would I create a thread like that? I didn't want to come over all promotional... Being a newbie and all ;)

    Hobby to self employment

    Thanks @Simply Business - I'm a copywriter/digital marketer :) Although I worked in sales, recruitment and a few other industries before I went self employed.

    Hi @moo-tique & @Charlibombarli I do! I have my business website which I've just really started using: rebeccawalton.com I haven't updated it since I purchased the domain last year, until today. Been far too busy with other projects going on. Hoping to fill it with useful resources in the...

    Hobby to self employment

    How exciting! I love meeting people at the beginning of starting their new business. It's one of the most daunting times, I know. However, it won't be long before you're in the swing of things. It seems as though your questions about tax credits have been cleared up, so I thought I'd just give...

    Seo training

    Have you had a look on Udemy? I don't know a great deal about it, but I always see other people recommending it. Especially when it comes to things like SEO. Other than that, just use the amazing amount of free resources out there on the internet. I've never been professionally trained in SEO, I...

    What Digital Marketing should I use?

    As others have said, social media marketing will probably be pretty ineffective if you're marketing to businesses. Most services such as yourself will focus more on search engine results - as that's where the majority of potential clients will be looking. You'll need a good combination of...

    Email marketing agency?

    Hey! Have you tried looking on freelancer marketplaces, such as People Per Hour or Fiverr? Ideally, you want to find a designer and a copywriter - as these are two very different kettles of fish. Someone could design something truly mind blowing, but not entice people to click through or read...

    Naming other business in our advertising

    As everyone else has said, you want to be focusing on why people should be coming to YOU. Not why they shouldn't be shopping elsewhere. The problem is, badmouthing off any company is going to land you in some hot water. Potential customers might see it as unprofessional for a start. I know that...
