The post from Joel Spolsky a couple weeks ago generated a ton of discussion and perspective on ownership of IP relative to Employers v Employees.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13142327Here are two others that provide value: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2208056 &...
Is there a list of outages on other 'major' services of this magnitude?
I remember there being a great resource of developers and designers, worldwide, on a public google spreadsheet. Anyone have any ideas on where it is?Many thanks!
An angel has proposed to invest in my company with these terms:<p>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlUHGVGjZyxkdGhGZjk3cU5RSWxNbmR3OFUtWmhUQkE&usp=sharing<p>The key inputs to change are: - valuation - reinvestment - salary<p>Rather than setting up the payments over a fixed time, I set it up to calculate a distribution after each $200,000 - $50,000 to owner...

I intent to host a different type of event - http://www.meetup.com/silicon, whereby attendees will learn real tactics on how to grow their business from folks that have done it.
From my view, sales is often a numbers game. In order to get x sales, y appointments must be set, z connections made. I am yet to find a good method for measuring this outside a CRM. Excel is good for about 50 contacts.. After that, it's a mess.
This process has been on the forefront of my mind quite a bit lately, as I am growing my company, Canyon Oak Partners (SEO/PPC/Design/Dev) and a supporting SEO Audit software offering (its in private beta).
At this point, the most important facet I wish to grow is the sales team. My partners and I are discussing the need and pros/cons of getting an office, as we all work remote right now. We also gather at my home (I have a spare bedroom as my office and we set up around the rest of the place) a couple days a week.
Our thoughts lean toward the social energy an office brings, but I love not spending the money on an office.
Do you have any advice on managing a remote sales team?
I own a Marketing Agency and a SaaS company, where recurring billing is the majority of our billing. Customers are rarely, if ever, present.I've had it with Bank of America.Can anyone share positive experiences with competing banks? Perhaps an online outfit with great customer service/fees?Many thanks!
A couple of mine are:
- Repurpose the top floors of parking garages to incorporate green space in urban centers
- Black Hole Taxi: Marketplace for on demand user video (eg - I pay you a fee to walk around the grand canyon)
- Open spaces that are free co-working CS learning centers for middle and high schoolers (I'm working on one in Los Angeles)
- Mixergy for the rest of business (eg. the BUSINESS of yoga, the BUSINESS of real estate brokerage, the BUSINESS of photography) not just how to do 5 new poses, hold a better open house, craft a better photo
But there I sat. Idea fleshed out..and I was ready ready to sell it.
I finally finally took option 2. I understand code and can manipulate wordpress enough to get by, but it certainly isn't my strength. I searched forums and reached out the top commenters and contributors of one in particular. Out of the 3 folks I connected with 1 was a fit. In four hours, he had the previously crafted code live on the net for us to refine.
I plan to be to market in a couple months and could not be happier. I enjoy paying my developer exactly what he wants and look forward to making him a partner sooner than later, if he wants.
The proof is in the pudding.
I've tinkered with editing a line or two in wordpress, but I want to get proficient.I found a couple resources via google:http://www.w3schools.com/php/ http://devzone.zend.com/article/627however, I am curious is the community knows of a better resource...for someone that learned best in school from hands on and personal attention as opposed to text and home work.I am actively coding a project...
