Are you asking about the technical aspects that make this platform function?
Or are you asking what successes users have experienced?
I am not in a position to address the first one, I don't know the exact pieces that come together to provide the function of the platform (aside from a robust forum and a call scheduling element).
I can speak the to success I have seen here.
There are a number of experts who 1) recognize that there are users who need help, but may not be able to afford our rate, 2) understand that providing value here will result in an increase in their own business, 3) genuinely like helping others
Those of us who have seen success identify with all three points. We want to help people, we understand not everyone can afford our regular consulting rate, and we know that the more we give here - the more likely we are to book business.
Personally, Clarity has been one of the Top 3 leading revenue generators for my business in 2015. I am commited to adding more value and advice in 2016 -- for all three of the points I listed above.
Truth be told, we are all experts. Some of us have embraced the title and put ourselves out there to further our impact. Anyone reading this has the ability to contribute and share insights that are unknown to others.
Happy sharing,

What's the best way to approach a Fortune 500 company regarding a business development opportunity? What people, process, tips do you recommend?
The best thing to do to start any kind of sales or relationship building process with a Fortune 500 company is to recruit willing champions of you and your company. The good thing about Fortune 500 companies is that there are *lots* of people who you can potentially recruit. Many of them are active on Twitter and LinkedIn. I've successfully sold to Fortune 500 companies this way and I'd be happy to share relevant tips with you.

What would be a good answer for describing the size of your company to a potential prospect who might consider you too small to service their account?
What an awesome question! Businesses are running into this issue more frequently that ever, good news is, it can be done. Having worked on projects with oDesk, Fox Television and Wikipedia and having a very very small staff, it's certainly possible. Here's how I say it in our pitches to larger organizations: "Tractive West provides tailored video production services to organizations of all sizes. We have developed a distributed workflow using the latest digital tools. We leverage our small creative and management team with a world wide network of creative professionals, that means we can rapidly scale to meet the demands of any project while keeping our infrastructure and overhead lightweight and sustainable." Cheers and best of luck.

My startup just failed. What could I start to "immediately" generate $1,000/mo?
The quickest path to cash is almost always consulting. Be very specific about what it is you can offer. Don't just offer "business consulting". Find a niche and serve it. Reach out to your network, including friends and family and ask if they need or know of anyone who might want to hear about what your consulting has to offer. That will be way faster than trying to go at it from scratch or cold calling. If you call 100 people in your network this week, you will have a consulting gig within 3 weeks. Good luck, and let me know if you'd like advice on entering a digital marketing/lead generation consulting niche. I've grown from zero to $8,000 of monthly recurring payments in the last 40 days!

As an accounting graduate with no money and no connections, how do I start my own consulting firm? And how do I get clIents?
STOP. DO NOT DO THIS.... I would never want help from someone like you. Don't get me wrong -- you aren't evil (that I know about) but you don't seem have any value that I could pay for. What would you be "consulting" a CEO like me about? How do you expect to make my business better when you don't have a clue about your own business? THAT'S THE TRUTH... Fuck the truth. If you want to get clients then you hustle -- every waking moment. You try an angle and fail and then try a different angle. You can't outsmart your way to bigger results. 2 plus 2 does not equal 4 -- it equals you going bankrupt. If you want to be successful then you need to exert massive amounts of effort to get off the ground. So get your ass out there and start asking everyone you meet: "What is that one big accounting question that's been bothering you for some time now? If I can't help you i'll buy you a cup of coffee" Then just go be a badass...
