MenuI start up and failed. How can I earn if I am not even brave enough to start up creating a profile that will allow people to recognize me?
I am a newbie, however, I dont know how to start up and earn a lot. I dont even have any mentors or coaches here. If someone can help me so I can start earning, that would be much appreciated.

The very early stages of becoming brave is through believing in oneself. Once you've confirm your confidence at personal level, it will be easier for others to believe in you and the services that you are yet to offer.
Good luck.
Hello,
Everyone needs to take their first steps when learning to walk, and in order to learn they must have a desire and try first. Business is no different; you have a desire to build a successful business, but in order to get access to good mentors and support, you must first take the initiave and try. It is okay if you fail at first, as long as you learn from the experience and are determined to try again, armed with the knowledge of what not to do.
Building a good business plan is often the first step on the path to success and growth. You can do this yourself, without any mentors, training, etc - all that 'stuff' is just extra and you do not need it! A lot of people give up because they think they need a bunch of stuff to get started... Capital, a mentor, investors, inventory and more. The truth is, you do not need anything except a good plan to succeed at first. The other stuff comes later once you've built the foundation of your brand. You need to decide if you are invested in your plan enough to step outside your comfort zone, because that is where growth begins. If you aren't, then maybe your plan is not the right fit for you."

You will first do one thing that no one else is going to Support you except your self, and that's confidence . It is and only you . Tell yourself some motivation words like I can, I will, if others can why not me ??
Yeah you did!! You will not believe me if I tell you it is common, a lot of people who seem to be successful ot to have reached their success passed in that stage too.
Let me give you an example starting a business to stand still and grow may be like a toddler starting to stand, trying to walk by wall or when someone holds him but time by time the baby is able to stand all by self and walk alone then run.
And also do this , look around about your customers know exactly what is needed, who, where , when this product/ service is needed, study your market then start marketing to increase awareness of your deeds, think of innovation and creativity too to be able to compete with others. Don't forget to Pray hard at each step asking for guidance and Protection. God I faithful!!
I recommend many things for you:
1) Improve your personal self-image. You might need to use hypnosis to improve your subconscious self-image.
2) If you don't have good mentors, I recommend looking for influencers in your niche on popular social media platforms such as YouTube.
3) I also recommend you watch free YouTube videos on the various ways you can make money online.
Thank you so much.. I really appreciate your message. I will and can do this. I know. Thanks again.
Have confidence in yourself that's no 1, bear in mind that every one at the top of their Carrier started like you, be passionate about what you do because, it's that passion that keeps you going; passion never let you run out of ideas and keep seeking and learning from professionals.
Look. Starting is never easy, especially for a new person in a business. The best thing to do is to start networking around with people that are already relevant to the subject you look for and try to get information from them.
There are a lot of resources out there as well to check and if you are willing, I can let you know some. Just drop me a message if you wish for.
Nice answers from many people, but I think that you deserve a fair feedback on your request. While it remains subjective (at the end of the day, it is simply my opinion), my message will give you a different perspective.
Looking at your question and the following paragraph, I really wonder if you do understand what it takes to "earn a lot". It is way more complicated that starting a profile and getting a mentor. I suggest you start by planning to "cover your costs" for a first start up idea. It will already be a great success if you do that.
Second, If you do not have the courage to create a profile (whatever this really means), then I think you should start by being an employee and show some courage in that context so you can grow your self-confidence. You will always have time to work on your start up at night or during the weekends or at a later stage. Good luck!
Success is those consistency even when it seems like it is not working. You first must believe in you and believe in the product that you are marketing. Sell yourself first. How confident are you in the product you are offering? As a consumer would you buy it if you saw it in the market? If you would I know you would post it on Facebook book. Instagram and all the other media platform.
Use the same and promote your product
Professional engineering companies must need to understanding companies profile are critical so it up tp the CEO to decide ?

You certainly need an affordable mentor at your current level because you are going to need some supportive, step by step guidance. I suggest finding someone who is supportive, respectful, and patient so that you can build confidence as you learn and apply new skills to launch your business.

I own a start-up for an app bringing people together for simple things of life in a secured and efficient way. How do I penetrate the market?
Take a look at how other companies with similar problem resolved it, for example: AirBnB, Uber, TaskRabbit and others. Every one of them, unless they were extremely lucky with timing, used a narrow geographic focus, approaching established communities and fulfilling demand for one side by hand for the first little while. In your case you can approach established organisations like universities, churches, foundations, volunteer organisations and the like to get people that would do things and do exactly the same for the other side. Initially you need to do it by hand until it starts going viral. Spreading the word through social media is great but it needs to be very targeted and approach people that can already find something in the application. If there are other organizations that do similar postings, for example if there are requests for volunteering on Craigslist, you can approach them to have it posted in your application. Narrowing on one geographic location is always easier in the beginning, because you can learn the area and all the players involved in the scene, and then maximise the output, expanding to new geographic locations when needed. It doesn't mean limiting your app, but just focusing your marketing efforts in one narrow location that can bring biggest output. Everything that I mentioned above can be applied to offline and online social marketing. Unfortunately there is no magic solution to your problem except for bootstrapping it in the beginning and finding communities that you can leverage with biggest social impact return. Good luck!

How to increase and maintain the growth of my twitter account?
I love what Lee said about being yourself but staying on message. And Ali was right: choose your goals then plan backward from them. Twitter is a tree: the more your water, fertilize, and prune it, the stronger it will be. Here are a few quick tips: · Actively prune inactive and spam accounts to keep the number of people you follow less than the number who follow you. · Talk to thought leaders, especially people who have more followers than you. Engaging them in conversation will put you on the radar of all their followers. · Give public "high fives." Compliment other people's work, writing, products, and thoughts, and 95% of them will like you. · Use TweetDeck to create custom streams based on the niches you're target, and Buffer App to schedule the delivery of new content. I have to use Buffer; otherwise, I'll sometimes forget to post my stuff! · Be yourself. I can't stress that one enough. · Keep in mind that bigger isn't necessarily better. Again, what is your goal? If you're trying to network in your industry, than a smaller following might be appropriate. If you're selling info products, then you'll need lots of people entering your sales funnel. · Have fun. I believe that people prefer to follow winsome people. · Stay consistent. Your following will grow steadily as long as you're posting steadily AND engaging people in conversation. · Be really generous. I believe that people prefer to follow generous people. · Go read one hundred blog posts about how to grow your Twitter following. By the time you're finished, you'll be the expert. Come back and teach all of us "experts" something, okay? AustinAC

How can I take an idea for a new app and turn it into a real product?
Here are some options: ___Free Options___ 1) Make apps without needing to spend a lot of time learning to code. Look into "MIT App Inventor" (http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/). It's a very _easy_ way to make pretty complex apps using drag and drop coding. You can find youtube tutorials that will show you how to make your first app within 5 minutes. I've used MIT App Inventor to make prototype apps for many of my ideas, saving me tens of thousands of dollars if I paid a dev to do it instead. Learn to do "real" coding yourself. The main investment will be your time. There are plenty of free resources for learning coding on the web. I'd suggest learning "React Native", it's a relatively new way to code apps, which allows you to make one app that will run on both Android and iOS. 2) Find a software engineer cofounder. Go to Meetups, conferences, local hackerspaces / makerspaces. Hang out on relevant online forums (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/ make sure to read their rules for posting before posting though). It won't be easy to find a tech cofounder, your idea will need to be amazing, and you yourself will need to be very passionate and capable in order to convince someone to partner up with you for sweat equity. ___Paid options___ 1) Use developers with less established reputations / portfolios (lower cost, higher risk) Be very wary of freelancers on sites like Upwork, Fiverr, etc. Here are some basic hiring rules: In your hiring script, make sure to ask for all applicants to give their account name for github/bitbucket and Trello. Don't hire agencies, only hire individuals. To get hired, ask them to do a simple task via Trello and submit the code via github/bitbucket. This task should only take them maybe 1 hour. Check the quality of what the applicants and if they deliver it in a timely manner. Keep the 1 or 2 people that do a good job. If you don't do this vetting these "low cost" developers may end up costing a lot in the longer run. 2) Use developers with more established reputations / portfolios (higher cost, lower risk) With this option your app will probably cost > $20k to develop, but it can be worth it if you have a single idea that you know you want to move forward with. I can introduce you to a very high quality developer in NY if you're at this stage. Let me know if you'd like any additional help more tailored to your specific app ideas, best, LeeLV

What are the best tools to use for growing social media reach?
Hi! Happy to answer this question. Initially, I'd ask "what are you tracking at present?" And "what are your goals?" Software wise, I love to use a few tools for Twitter. Hootsuite to schedule relevant content (and not all tweets should be scheduled--happy to touch on this more), Tweetreach to get a feel for impressions/influencers who HAVE been engaging (in my mind, impressions are KEY, more so than Follower count because hashtags can help you reach more people) and Sprout Social for a more in depth view of your Twitter analytics. Getting more visibility/followers: what hashtags are you using? How often do you acknowledge those who follow you (new followers vs existing followers)? Are you just sharing autoscheduled content and links OR are you creating conversations? Hashtags wise: find those that have a community already centered around them! *You don't want to "hashtag hijack" however, tags like #smallbiz #blogchat #_________ specific to your industry or ideal client's industry can go a long way. Other tools that people use to track community and engagement include Sum All, and Commun It https://commun.it/ Once you start tracking impressions (and monitoring growth vs plateaus) you can then go back and look at your content to see which posts generated the most response/engagement. Again, just want to emphasize that creating conversations and asking questions are great methods to do all of the things you are looking to accomplish.JM

How can I go about using social media outlets to attract new clients?
Hello, great question here. First of all you should understand that there is no 1 way and depending on who your audience is and what you sell the answer will definitely vary. A short answer however would be - engagement. Forget about likes and follows and shares are engagement, if you want to be a successful marketer you need to see engagement as conversations. The more conversations you can build around products the more you can rely on them to follow links or follow up on a request when you do make one. With that said, social media updates should be about what your followers want to see - depending on the social media - try to avoid being too pitchy on each post. My name is Humberto Valle, I have been a strategist for about 10 years now and have helped countless of entrepreneurs and businesses thrive through creative competitive strategy and marketing and I'm the co-founder of Unthink.Me. I hope my answer helps you a bit.HV
