MenuScreen capture recording software | Recommendation Needed
I need to do a screen capture recording video and be able to download the video. Can anyone recommend one?
Answers
You'll need to include a lot more detail here. In what capacity are you recording the screen? Locally, you can use something like ScreenFlow, which is a third-party app you have to download and install.
For a remote screen, there are several proprietary solutions that all require plugins.
Without third party software or plugins, you can do this (on bleeding-edge browsers only) with WebRTC. This is currently way too unstable for a production rollout. But it won't be for too much longer. (This is an area where I can help, if you're looking into in-browser/custom solutions.)
Your best bet is probably Google at this point, followed by actually using the various apps out there for the end you're looking for. See what works best for you.
Good luck!
I've been using the pro version of Screencast-o-matic (a whopping $15/year)

Works well.
As Jason mentioned there are a variety of options depending on your needs. One question that comes to my mind is "Do you need to do post recording editing?" ...and "What operating system are you using?"
I have a MacBook Pro and Office 365. I use QuickTime (included in Mac OS X) to record my screen and drop the file in OneDrive (you could also use DropBox, Google Drive, or any other cloud drive). This works well for videos that don't need post production editing. In a pinch, you can use iMovie to do post production editing with QuickTime movies. Though in my opinion it can be challenging to use at times.
Additionally I have a copy of Camtasia Studio ( https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html ) I use if I know I'm going to be doing considerable post production editing.

Many businesses hire an Internet advertising agency to run their online marketing campaigns but fail to get positive ROI, why is that?
Advertising is one of the ways to get traction, but for most brands it takes over 6 months (or a year) to build any income at all. It's a good way to promote local stores or coffee shops, and cheaper products, but the cost per click is high for online products and the initial investment is significant, and often acquiring a customer costs more than profit. For some brands getting a large number of initial users is essential to get the business profitable at a later point. Many startups invest in different forms of inbound or content marketing and build their steady traffic from freebies, tutorials and other relevant resources for their users, referral programs, freemium models and other tactics to bring users without investing in standard advertising. Advertising is a helpful addition when you implement retargeting pixels and promote to the right channels.MP

Starting two businesses at once. Is it recommended for a new entrepreneur?
I think as a first-time entrepreneur who is non-technical, you should focus 100% of your energy on your clothing business with your buddy. There is far less required to make a clothing business a success than a startup run by a non-technical founder. I don't mean to trivialize the challenges of running an apparel company (there are many) but comparatively, there is a greater chance of you having success with the apparel business than a startup. But you *reduce* your chances of success by diluting your focus with other ideas. Happy to talk to you in a call about starting off on the right foot with a cofounder.TW

How do I calculate the value of my startup if there are people interested in investing before the launch?
Ugh. Investors. Here's the harsh or maybe happy truth. If your Startup offering (product, service, information, courseware, consulting, etc) provides stellar value, then you require no investment. Do your launch + if money starts pouring in, either skip the investors of if you really must use investors (doubtful, if you're providing stellar value), then the more revenue you have, the better terms you'll get from investors.DF

Best advice to start a small business abroad as a foreigner, US, Swiss, New Zealand, Singapore. Research online proves to be really confusing red tape
As a web designer, online visibility is incredibly important when it comes to branding globally. Depending on your business, a lot of your global business goals can be achieved by setting up an online business. You should register domains in the countries you'd like to market to, such as the US, NZ, and SIngapore that you mentioned. Also establish a Business Plan and central brand that includes all of these markets. Try to avoid getting caught in a re-branding process down the road. If your brand needs tweaking in order to achieve scope, do so. I would start by registering the business in the country you mainly do business in, and provide shipping of products/services to all of your other markets if necessary to get started. Then as you establish a foothold in each territory, look into the benefits of setting up locally.CR
