You know what would be great... A platform exclusive for Marketplace experts ;) I would answer this in short by saying you don't attract them simultaneously. To elaborate; The Chicken and Egg problem is solved (historically) by attracting and retaining the top providers of whatever service f...
Yes, absolutely there are very different rules that you have to follow for healthcare products. It mostly boils down to what you are claiming, and what the 'class' of your product is as defined by the FDA. You have to go through an extensive process to get certain healthcare products approved b...
Speakers, authors and coaches need what you have to offer. They all want to be seen as experts so you need to tell them how your product will do that for them. It's called building a platform and any speaker, author or coach will understand that language. There are two things to consider whe...
You appear to have a very broad concept. The more features you add in the more expensive it will be.

Wow, I am disgusted to here that an employer would do this. This is not legal of your employer and pretty downright unprofessional. Do NOT pay the invoice. He sounds like a scam. What I suggest is that you demand a 1099 from him. The 1099 is a tax form that an employer sends you when you do n...

Here's what I don't see so far: executive (buyer) INVOLVEMENT by your target customers. Go to them. Show them what you've got. Get the testimonials from your employee-level advisors to show them the need is legit. (Use these same employees to start going up the chain and finding out who are the ...
