A few additional thoughts based on the comments here: If you liked "In Conquest Born" - Friedman wrote These Alien Shores, which is a true hacker sci fi, absolutely incredible. The Book of Skaith by Leigh Bracket is a truely awesome compila

I started using http://axure.com/ it allows for wireframing and prototyping. It is simple to learn and simple to use. They have excellent support and a free trial, I highly recommend it.

I took the survey but I wanted to share this thought here for some additional feedback. I work with some of the larger deals sites and having learned a lot about how they operate I cannot stress enough that if you are going to move into a

I strongly recommend that you consider one of the affiliate networks (CJ.com or one of the other big 4) to use for this type of thing. They all handle payments and all of the other details automatically. All you have to do is keep some mone

In my experience the fastest way to acquire users, other than paid search, is via an affiliate program. I have launched 7 programs for e-commerce properties in the last 3 years and the average first months traffic to a brand new site has b

It depends on the type of small business and the situation that it is in. There is a wide range of risk vs. reward opportunities. For example: If you are a service business, assume you are a massage therapist. If you are a new business yo

I think in your situation the answer is to start looking for your next opportunity now. It may take you a while to find that next gig and during that time you will have a little longer to evaluate / make changes to your current opportunity

I think there are four things you want to look for: A personality that meshes with your office environment – Will this person be an asset to the corporate culture and smoothly assimilate? Signs of Competence – Will this person be able to co

It might sound odd, but I just create an entry in my contacts in outlook for each service. I've never lost a password and I have access to them whever I go.

I highly recommend that you check out: http://www.expressionengine.com as it might be what you are looking for. I hope that helps.

I recommend that you don't go for books. SEOMoz.com and SEOBook.com are the two best seo resources out there. They both have free servies and pay services and you cannot go wrong should you chose to invest in either even for a short time.

Why has no one said for the lure of financial gain? Google isn't going to make many of their new employee’s multi millionaires through stock grants. There are a lot of appealing companies that have an opportunity to make it really big rig

I just finished The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and started Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch. For those of you reading Ice and Fire or who have finished all of the current work I recommend both of these series. I also look

I think it depends a lot on whether the acquisition is based on their desire to have your product or their desire to acquire your team or both. The reason the potential acquisition is taking place will have a lot to do with the experience y

Taking a quick look, I think the experience is okay. While things are different they are not so radically different as to make me feel uncomfortable as a user. I am not sure if this is the approach I would take, I very much like the homepa

Why use subs over directories? If you really want to build a site and brand as well as have your hard work pay off I recommend directories over either option. From an SEO and link popularit standpoint you will only have to worry about a si

I think for someone like yourself it is all about fit. What type of work are you looking to contribute to the start up? Can you contribute to some or all of project management, marketing, design, strategic planning, or even basic coding?

My suggestion before doing anything else, decide whether the real problem is the other founder or the business. Once you answer that question it can make the decision making process either. Looking at everything you have said, my interpreta

Don't do number 1 - instead build that content on your own site. In the long run you will be better off. Number 1 is more of a way to creatively build links, but domain number 1 won't have link popularity to pass. So unless it has high e

I strongly suggest that you locate a retargetting company that operates purely on a Cost Per Acquisiton (CPA) model. There are enough high quality firms out there that use this model that it makes no sense what so ever to pay a flat fee.

I use Google alerts to track news on my clients and their competition. It seems to work well and I can usually skim through the data pretty quickly. In my line of work it is critically important that I stay up to date on the latest news i

My advice is to really work out the value proposition. How much value is the first employee going to bring when it comes to revenues and how fast will those revenues materialize? $5k just isn't that much money but if it feels like it will

It depends what kind of business it is to be honest. Most start ups focus on their product and worry about marketing and SEO later on. SEO is just a single internet marketing tactic and in all honesty until you have something worth marketi

SEOBook and SEOMoz are both excellent services. I would recommend using all of their free resources first. SEOBook has a free 7 day "course" you can sign up for to get a feel for it, plus a lot of free content. SEOMoz also has excellent

I work with designers every day and I can tell you I had to share this around and their reaction along with my own is summed up perfectly in your comments. What a terrible way to portray the expectations of the design profession.

I think the answer is that you should post any work that you have done and want to share with potential customers. If you are going to post work for hire, make it clear it was work for hire and done to a clients specifications. If you are g

My first suggestion is to make sure that you have some type of portfolio even if it is small. In my experience a lot of web designers create their own brand around their name and have a site with their portfolio. I'd then make sure you ha
