    Monthly Ad/SEO budget for...

    Hi Guys How does £2000 per month budget for Facebook Ads, Google ads & some SEO sound for a competition website? I'd want most traffic to come from facebook/instagram so that's where the bulk of the budget would go. What kind of exposure could I expect for that sort of investment? Many Thanks

    Starting a forum

    I used to have my own forum. I was planning on using the paid vbulletin software but in the end used phpbb which was very good for free. The main problems I had were the amount of spam posts & finding the time to create content/threads to make people want to contribute. Getting people to...

    Do I have to pay this invoice?

    So why credit me at the time then do absolutely nothing about it until a week after I left the company, 4 months later? Yes I was allowed and they were aware of the end user. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do I have to pay this invoice?

    I had a staff credit account much like a trade account but it enabled me to buy items at cost price. My argument is that if they had told me it was a problem at the time then my dad could possibly have deducted the cost from his plumbers bill to cover the cost. Now 4 months later is it...

    Do I have to pay this invoice?

    So up until 3 weeks ago I worked for a division of a national group of companies (builders merchants amongst other things). Back in February I bought an item from the builders side on my staff account for my father who was renovating a new house. Turned out my dad's plumber had given him the...

    Anyone dabbled in property investment?

    The problem with that show and those like it is they make it look far too easy which isn't the reality. My step-sister started doing this about 10 years ago, maybe a little longer, before everyone watching "homes under the hammer" started jumping on the bandwagon. Much harder now to find...

    Taking online/offline payments & Paypal merchant acc

    To be honest I'm looking at Shopify, and other "out of the box" platforms to keep it simple as not the most techy person in the world. I thought about doing something with wordpress & woo commerce or similar (I already have a hostimg account which I use to run a blog) but I just thought using...

    Taking online/offline payments & Paypal merchant acc

    Thanks DX3. I've looked at PayPal and it looks easy enough to either upgrade my current personal account to business or just create a new business account with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Taking online/offline payments & Paypal merchant acc

    Hi everyone, I'm looking at setting up an online store as a sideline to my full time job. I'll probably be using a platform such as Shopify. My orders will mainly be online but I would like the option to take manual payments if customers don't want to order through my site. Initially to keep...

    Supplier credit accounts for new business

    Hi all, Just wondering is there a "norm" or guideline for a trading period before suppliers will allow a startup to have a credit account? For example is it common to have to pay, say 3 months on proforma to build up some trading history first? This would be based on a totally new company...
