Founding Your Business or Non-Profit

I know, first hand, that being the founder of a startup or non-profit isn't easy and that sometimes you just need someone to bounce ideas off of and provide a little encouragement/insight.

What are the best launch methods when having a three day intensive conference?

In addition to the great advice that Trishul has shared, I’d like to add that your event is also a business. As someone who produces my own live events (sponsorshipbootcamp.com) and speaks at the events of other promoters (author101university.com, movepeopletoaction.com, etc)... one of the biggest mistakes I see is people not treating it like a business. I would…

1. Create a business plan.
2. Get bids early for event planner, A/V, etc
3. Define the target market
4. Who do you want to speak and, more importantly, what is their reach/ability to help you promote the event and fill the event/room block.
5. Will you have sponsors? If so, how many and what type? Sponsors are a great way to cover a large portion of your expenses while also delivering an immense amount of value and ROI to your sponsors.

Let me know if I can ever be of service to you or your team!

You are terminally ill and have only one minute to leave your children with a outline to a business plan. What do you scribble on the bed-side paper?

Whatever your dream (business or life) is - decide that you deserve it, and that you're worth it (cause you are), and the steps to move forward and get there.

Roberto Candelaria answered

Is it more beneficial to start a profit or non-profit business ? What are the benefits ? and what are the challenges of either of them?

I agree with Mark in that it truly depends what you’re trying to accomplish.

Is this a business that you plan on keeping for yourself and/or family, or is there a different exit strategy in place such as selling the brand, an IPO, or being acquired by another company.

When it comes to business and deciding the corporate structure, there’s a few things I’d recommend considering.

1. Entity Type (there’s pros and cons to each type. Check with your CPA)
2. Revenue Model (yes, even NPO’s need this)
3. Business/Strategic Plan
4. Customers - What do they look like and how do you find/reach them
5. Exit strategy.

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to offer further clarity to you!

Non-profits

Roberto Candelaria answered

What is the procedure to producing my first Webinar? And what start-up equipment and software is required?

Doing your first webinar can be a fun and, if done right, profitable experience!

As Josh mentioned, I would strongly recommend doing a live webinar once or twice before automating the webinar.

When building webinars…

1. I build my presentation in PowerPoint (you could also use Keynote)
2. Setup my webinar in GoToWebinar
3. Build landing pages for the webinar (I use leadpages for my LIVE webinars)
4. Setup an autoresponder for attendees (I used 1Shoppingcart & MailChimp)
5. Deliver a kick-butt webinar!!!

After I’ve done the webinar a couple times, it’s time to automate. I use http://hybridwebinars.com/ for this.

Here’s two examples of automated webinars setup on http://hybridwebinars.com/

1. Webinar Replay where attendees can choose the date/time they attend: http://www.onlinemeetingnow.com/register/?id=v8h12zpdm3

2. Webinar Replay that takes them directly into the replay: http://www.onlinemeetingnow9.com/seminar/?id=oa3ne72rj5

A super niche product on Kickstarter: http://kck.st/1Cg64at - how'd you get free traffic & growhack strategies? Few big media gave up on us last min.

Great Question! Few tips that I’d offer are:

1. To get a dedicated domain that you can have re-direct to the campaign page. So while you currently have http://www.koloswheel.com/, purchase another to drive traffic directly to the campaign so any media, YouTube personalities, etc can just drive people to that domain.

2. Talk to people! Coffee shops, doctor’s office, and twitter! Of course there’s lots of places to talk to people, but build an army of people that talk about what you’re doing anytime they see someone within your target market using an iPad. If you’re wanting more online, reach out to key influencers on snapchat, instagram, etc.

If you have more specific questions or would like customized advice for your campaign, I’d be honored to help you and your team with clarity, just give me call! Wish you the best on your campaign.

He is in high demand so get his expertise working for you as soon as possible.

Great insight and feedback. Looking forward to building the relationship.

Kofi Frimpong Source: Clarity

Roberto goes above and beyond covering just the topic for which I call. He gives - with no expectation of receiving in return - a lot of information; referrals to others who can help; and of himself. He's "da man!" in terms of a connector, marketer, and strategies for implementation. Thanks for a good call and conversation today, Roberto...from another strategy & implementation person.

Sylvia Henderson Source: Clarity

Roberto's wisdom + his authenticity = clarity and confidence for the caller. I'll be speaking and working with him more in the future as a result. I'll be frequently highly recommending him.

Denise Taylor Source: Clarity
