MenuDoes Google Optimize Support Multiple Split Test in a Funnel? Is it Recommended? Any problems? Anything to be aware?
I own an ecommerce store. I'm doing a test in the "products" page. After people click on "Add to Cart/Buy Now" they go to the checkout as a normal ecommerce store. Can I also run some optimization tests on the checkout while I'm running a Split Test on the "Products Page". If I don't do this then I can't test checkout flow while doing other tests and optimization becomes slow. Would love your opinions and thoughts.

This is a complex topic.
Far more complex than can be answered in here.
Best to hire an expert to help you with this, because Google will penalize you if they visit the same URL multiple times where different content is returned.
You can research this yourself by digging into the Google Search Console facility specifically built to handle this case, to avoid the SEO/Index penalty.
And... You can easily destroy SEO traction making simple mistakes.
Guideline: For any SEO optimization.
1) Low/No site income, figure it out on your own.
2) High site income, hire someone familiar with this process.
Random Tip: Most people miss something important here.
Incompetent Hosting (almost all hosting) which sometimes returns various errors or randomized content rendering (slow broken SSL/JS/CSS/Image serving) also counts as different content.
A far more common problem results when Hosting results return random content on a regular basis.
Guideline: Similar to the above. For sites with significant cashflow, first hire someone to ensure your hosting speed + stability + security is rock solid.
Next, ensure your site produces clean HTML (0 syntax errors + 0 syntax warnings).
Then move into SEO optimization.
Most people start with SEO before address hosting + HTML syntax... then wonder... why oh why... does my SEO optimization never seem to have any effect.

What are the content marketing best practices of converting blog visits into signups?
Having a smart call to action at the end of each blog post is generally a good practice. Make it stand out, and make sure to add value to the visitor by signing up. I strongly recommend A/B testing (also called split-testing) your sign up call to action. That's the only way for you to improve the results of the signup rate. In regards to the conversion rate it's extremely difficult to predict. Depends on your value proposition, quality of content, your industry and so much more. Best advice is just to get started and be smart about the a/b testing. If you are running Wordpress I can strongly recommend OptinMonster to manage your call to actions. Unlike other solutions you won't have to pay a fortune, and it's very good. I'd also like to throw some flame to the fire on the ever ongoing discussions about popups. They receive a lot of flak, but are extremely effective. You can expect up to 200% more signups by using exit intent popups. Again - make sure to offer value to the visitor.Finge HoldenFH

What does your growth team look like? I'm starting to think through our strategy and would love to hear from other fast growing startups.
1) The whole team is growth focused, but I'm the only who helps guide and lead the strategy but for the most part, we know our core metrics and we have a development process for reviewing / assessing / testing / adjusting, etc. So I guess that's me. 2) We have many tools, and all depends on the metric, funnels, etc. As a general rule of thumb we use Google Analytics for all external traffic converting to sign-up, Mixpanel as a data warehouse for all events & funnels, A LOT of custom reports and tools we've built in house required when MixPanel or Google Analytics falls short. 3) We actually use Clarity (whole team) for conducting usability testing with members & experts on specific topics. We create clickeable prototypes and use Clarity to schedule a call & www.join.me to share the prototype for feedback. We also use www.usertesting.com for odering weekly baseline videos on our mobile app. It's not a "tool" but we use the Jobs-to-be-Done framework for conducting interviews when trying to understand intent. 4) Dave Skok has written the bible in my mind when it comes to SaaS metrics http://www.forentrepreneurs.com/saas-metrics/ Hope that helps, feel free to request a call to discuss further.Dan MartellDM

If you were hired by a SaaS company that needed to increase its free user base from 1,200 to 3,000 in 6 weeks w/a budget of $10k, how would you do it?
Top 2 tactics: Existing Users and Industry Influencers. First, leverage the existing user base. Incent referrals with $5 for every new free user they get to sign up and start using PT Engine for a new domain. Second, reach influencers and offer them the same deal when they tweet / post to / email their audiences. Make the offer a 60 day free trial instead of the standard 30 day so that they are providing value to the people they refer as well. This is critical - don't make them feel sleazy, make them feel (and look) like heroes to the connections they share PT Engine with. That's $9k to get 1800 users, leaving you $1k for graphics, referral tracking system, administrative costs. I assume the $10k budget does not include your time - if it does you'll have to reduce the incentive, which will definitely make it less appealing. If you want to dive deep on reaching influencers, schedule a call with me at www.clarity.fm/ryandravingRyan DravingRD

In your opinion, why is it that most websites do not make money for their owners and how can they be designed to turn a profit?
You have to have something worth selling....and position it properly which means clear calls to action. Most sites are informative and miss the calls to action...people are lazy, they won't look hard. Personally I leave if not interestedKelly FallisKF

How can I generate leads and improve conversion rate in a niche industrial established SaaS market?
This kind of problems a lot of companies face but obviously there is a solution. Although, it would involve huge amount of patience and dedicated efforts but result is guaranteed. Intensive use of LinkedIn is the best bet instead of focusing on keywords. A lot of people do use LinkedIn but their experience of generating qualified leads is not that great. I suggest you look for LinkedIn expert/Lead Gen Company who can help you to mine qualified leads which can eventually become your customers. I am saying this based on my past experience of working with some of the top MNCs across the globe. Should you need help, feel free to get in touch with me.Sharique NisarSN
