What tools and services should I consider using.

I own a digital marketing agency and I LOVE helping people with technology solutions! There are soooo many different inexpensive/free tools and technology solutions out there that can really benefit your business! Some of the ones we use are Facebook's Power Editor, https://www.leadpages.net/, and Rebrandly. If you'd like some more suggestions, please reach out to me! You can also look at our awesome blog, which has lots of info: http://www.bloominari.com/blog
There are a number of great tools for that:
1. leadpages.net
2.Clickfunnels.com
You will need to integrate those with an autoresponder like:
1.aweber.com
2.mailchimp.com
I would add HotJar.com to track the user mouse movements and to further fine tune your landing pages and get greater results.
Dont forget to add a retargeting pixel to the landing pages to capture traffic that are living your landing pages for some reason.
Hope this helps
SurveyMonkey is great and you can do similar with Google Forms. TypeForm has a great interface.
If you will primarily contact leads via email, then customer.io definitely. Besides A/B testing, it offers plenty of other options. We have been using it for nearly two years, and it has helped tremendously in conversions.
outbound.io adds mobile push and SMS if you need more than email.
Hope this helps.

SumoMe is a great resource for A/B testing plus it offers a variety of low cost items that easily allow you to track your engagements. They also offer products that easily integrate with autoresponder services like MailChimp, GetResponse and Aweber.
I have built lead generation systems for Finance/Healtech/Fashtech/Mooc companies.
These are my favorite tools !
- Smartly.IO (In case of FB Ads world domination strategies)
- Unbounce.com (Fast,user friendly)
- Zoho SalesIQ (Great live chat, the best in the market)
- Base CRM (Funnel based CRM,smart and friendly)
- Optimizely (Perfect for small tests)
- Luckyorange (Optimize everything on landing pages)
- Privy (Popups are back, incredibly better geo based conversion rates)
For emails
- Mailchimp Automation (for well tested A-B tests progressions)
- Intercom (for a more direct one to one contact)
- Powerinbox.com (for a super customized A-B test strategy
To actually apply them in the best way in your acquisition funnel let's plan a call.
I personally like salesgenie.com. You are able to use filters and narrow down your target customer or business. Plus the first 150 leads are FREE.
Reach out to me if you would like to know how I leveraged this website to gain SALES. Hope this helps and good luck.
Best,
Michael

What advice do you give to a 16 year old entrepreneur with a start up idea?
First, hat tip to you for being a young entrepreneur. Keep it up! If you have the funds to build out your MVP, hire a developer and possibly a mentor. If your idea is marketable, you don't need to give up equity by bringing in a co-founder. If this is your entrepreneurial venture, I would recommend you do retain a coach to help you see all the things you may not know. Have you already done your SWOT analysis? Have you identified your target market? What is your marketing plan? What will be your operating expenses? There are lots of questions to ask. If you would a free call, I'd be happy to help you in more detail.

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
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.TW

What is the most creative way to introduce myself (and therefore my service) to 100 key decision-makers without selling or pitching anything?
You've answered your own question. Reach out to your prospects with the question, such as "How would you...". Ask what people want then give it to them if you can with integrity and thoughtfulness.DI

How does my startup hire an affordable marketing expert?
I don't even know how to answer this. Do you know what the difference between McDonalds and the local burger joint that is filing for bankruptcy is? It's marketing. McDonalds is worth billions of dollars not because of the quality of their food, but because of their marketing. Marketing is not an expense. A janitor is an expense. Your computer is an expense. Marketing is an INVESTMENT. Would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon? Of course not. Because you would likely end up dead. Why, then, do you shop around for a marketing expert? Are you ok with your company going bankrupt? Is that worth the small savings to you? No. Of course not. Hire someone who is good at marketing. Hire someone who knows what they are doing. Buy yourself a Lamborghini with your profit the first quarter. Get a beach house in hawaii. Grab a yacht. Or, try to find your business the cheapest heart surgeon you can and then spend the next five years wondering why such a solid business idea failed in the first 6 months. I'm passionate about this exact topic because all those statistics you read about "70% of businesses failing in two years" are solely because of horrible marketing.AM

How can I become an idea person, as a professional title?
One word: Royalties This means you generate the idea and develop it enough to look interesting to a larger company who would be willing to pay you a royalty for your idea. This happens all the time. Rock stars, authors and scientists routinely license their creative ideas to other companies who pay them a royalty. Anyone can do it. Your business, therefore, would be a think tank. You (and your team, if you have one) would consider the world's problems, see what kinds of companies are trying to solve those problems, and then develop compelling solutions that they can license from you. You have to be able to sell your idea and develop a nice presentation, a little market research and an understanding of basic trademark and patent law. The nice thing about doing this is that if you develop enough cool ideas you will have royalties coming in from a lot of different sources, this creates a stable, passive revenue stream that requires little or no work to maintain. Start in your spare time and plan on the process taking 3-5 years. Set a goal to have a few products in the market that provide enough revenue (royalties) to cover your basic living expenses. Then you can quit your day job and dedicate more time and increase the momentum. A good idea business should have dozens, if not hundreds of license contracts generating royalties. It's possible to pull this off. And it is a fun job (I'm speaking from experience).MM
