How do you write a business plan for a startup?
I wrote a business plan but I'm somewhat unsure whether it confirms to the accepted standards to go in front of a VC or a SBA-approved bank. Could you please show me how to write a business plan through a website, or give me some pointers from personal experience? Thank you in advance.
Is starting a web design business worth it?
First, you cannot be "creative" (Artistically minded) AND "logical": these are two different brain structures. Your are a Designer, or you are a Coder. You will NEVER excel at BOTH. If you think you are good at both, you are walking into a dangerous trap. For the rest... If your skills are as low as being forced to use WordPress, or make static websites, then you are not up to the task, at least, as a coder: the market is over-saturated with amateurs who have the same "skills" (or lack of it) as you do. The compeition is a cut-throat. To make a decent living, you must be "at the top", and to get there, you need years of experience. You can get some working for an established company, or go on your own. But, before you do, analyze the market... Register with vWorker.com, as a developer. READ what real clients want, and how much they are prepared to pay: this will give you an idea of WHAT you are getting into! And it is not a very pretty place. You will very soon realise that, out of 100 offers, you MAY be able to do one or two, but the fee offered is WAY below what you would like to get. Don't let yourself enthousiastic with the couple of "easy websites" you will do for "friends and family": it boosts your confidence and gives you a false sense of achievement. I have seen TOO MANY enthousiast entrepreneurs going bust within 6 months... Not what you wanted to hear, is it not? It is, simply, the reality of things. Less than 1 in 10,000 hopefuls make a living. Beware, and don't quit your day-job. IF, on the other hand, you think you are really "creative" (that is, artistic), then go for studies in Design and MARKETING. Do not design ONLY for the web. Learn to make designs that SELL - Adverts, web, leaflets, TV ads, newspaper ads, Logos, anything that is PRINTED. Good designers are few and far between, and good ones MAKE good money!

Ideas for small business under $100 start up?
The internet is a great place to advertise and market a service or product. But, what if we wanted to consider reaching those without internet - there are still a few. I was hoping to hear success stories about the person that did not have to rely on this market so much. I did not want to get invited to mass marketing sales, I could do that just about anywhere online. Any other ideas.
How do I start a web design/development business?
This is a very good question and can be answered with a little reduction in core essentials. I have over 20 years of web experience but took two years off to pursue a nonprofit venture. I recently returned to my love of web design and business consulting. I am currently redeveloping my own web design business and would be happy to share some basics on how I’m getting started.First, understand that everything is business boils down to value. Success is achieved when someone can convey value to a perspective client or value of a product to a potential customer. This should be your focus.To display the proper value you must gain your audiences' trust. And this is achieved through credibility. The best way to gain credibility is by showcasing your skill sets. Most people in this industry achieves this through a portfolio of their work. But this doesn't achieve value because you haven't shown that other people value the work being displayed. People always want what other people perceive as valuable. This comes from having people look at your skills and other people watching those people. This should sound familiar because it sounds a lot like social media. And that is the secret to growing your business exponentially. Displaying your skills and cross-promoting them on various online platforms. This will achieve the desired perception of value needed to grow your customer base.This technique will also help you in search engine rankings as well, since that same cross-promotion will create link popularity, link volume, and link freshness that Google requires to get a higher ranking on their engine. So start promoting your skill sets on your website, social media, apps, and at local venues. Try promoting graphic design on Instagram and Pinterest. Or how about coding skills on various coding forums like Wordpress, StackOverflow, or Codeguru. Or maybe its giving business/web advice on Q&A websites like Quora (hint, hint). This is how you achieve value. This is how you showcase that value. And how you gain the trust of potential clients.This information I have given goes in hand with the core values of Neosynergy Consulting. We look to help advance the potential goals or individuals while looking for partnerships that will extend our own goals as well. Partnerships is the second thing needed to gain credibility but that is a topic for another posting. I hope this information helps.
