With a plethora of digital services/solutions, which SINGLE offering meets the following criteria...

I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.

You have a lot of options to market to boomers and seniors. That age group is facebook's fastest growing segment. Build ads that target that age group and think about having a facebook page to supplement your efforts there. Older people search just like the rest of us as well, so build an adwords campaign around keywords that might align with your product. Contact me if you'd like to chat about some options or need some help building your campaigns. Good luck!

I provide conversion optimisation services on a price per day on a rolling monthly basis. I did it this way, because my background is in software development consultancy and everything was estimated and billed out on a daily basis. I also provide one off services which is normally priced based on how long it would take to complete. I prefer to work with customers on a rolling monthly basis because I can have an impact on many aspects of their digital marketing and business processes. It means I'm also not tied to only creating split tests but have the freedom to advise and have a positive impact on multiple areas of a business.

You don't post the entirety of any article. You link users off to the actual site (or iframe it in even or open a new view on a mobile app with a back button). You cite the source. OpenGraph tags (and other meta tags) are typically fair game for previews and such. Saving articles for offline use is a bit trickier. So long as you aren't storing their copyrighted material on your server you might be ok. There are, after all, tools out there to save offline versions of any web page. Of course they let the user enter a URL and do not lead users to specific pages. RSS feeds are also typically ok. If you look, many sites have a policy posted about how you can use their RSS feeds. Some sites even put ads in their RSS feeds. I wouldn't alter anyone's RSS feed. They want those ads syndicated. You might have problems there. Might. Ultimately, you are pushing traffic to them. Hopefully. That's kinda how this works. You want to build something that services them and your audience. That way everyone wins and no one has any problems. So even if they might normally say something about copyright issues, they likely won't because they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. Basically, make it worth their while. Make sure they don't want to say no.
