I can get people to look at my site and information but I can't seem to make a sale. How do I go from presenting information to asking for a sale?

You need to check your analytics and see where your visitors are leaving. Also test your sales copy and modify it until you see results.

Give me a call if you would like some in depth help.

Should our photo sharing app use Base64 Strings or Files using URLs to display images?

Speed: depends on multiple factors like connectivity

Size: base64 takes up much more space

Image Clarity: files will give you more flexibility over quality and file size.

I recommend files.

20-100k/day depending on their size - it's a big investment.

How can I best do affiliate lead marketing?

I agree, that offer won't work because of the incredibly low payout, especially on a b2b offer.

If you had a better paying offer, you would need to track your ads and see which is converting best.

If you would like more help feel free to give me a call

Trying to break into the legal translation market. Targets: law firms, financial institutions, bigcorp. Positioning: high quality/prices. How?

I've targeted the legal niche with great success through a combination of outbound sales and Facebook marketing.

Why don't we chat about Facebook as that was where my greatest ROI was?

I'm looking to sell one of my iOS apps. I don't know what to set the price at for buyers. What goes into setting the price?

Is it on a downward trend? What are the ongoing costs? This will help determine a break even price.

How to promote a paid iOS app to increase downloads ?

Use a combination of mobile network ads, Facebook ads and keyword changes in your app to help discovery . You want to give your app a push up the higher rankings and let iTunes take care of the rest, once you are up there.

If you get up there and downloads drop when you stop advertising, something needs to change in your app to make it sticky.
