The niche website helps to narrow down your website to a certain product which will give you a more specific SEO ranking. You eliminate much of the SEO competition, which will make you more money.</p>
<p><strong>What is a Micro Niche Website?</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>micro niche</strong> website is based on a very narrow niche. Many niche sites are just blogs that people have written on a specific product. This niche helps to build a better website for more specific customers. This latest trend in marketing is to narrow down the SEO competition; this will allow you to get truer hits on your website. Many of today&#8217;s marketing techniques use this method. It is a good way to make money on the internet without having to spend much money.</p>
<p><strong>How the Micro Niche Site Works</strong></p>
<p>The first thing you need to do to make sure that your niche site is going to work, is to make it to be focused on a product that unique and searched for often. When you center your niche site around one specific product, you will get a better SEO listing. A simple longtail keyword with fewer competitors will work. There are many keyword tools available on the internet that you need to use to find these keywords. Once you find that keyword you will need to register a domain site that includes that keyword. That is the main goal to having your site listed high in the rankings on search engines. Use that keyword in the title, meta description and throughout your website as much as possible. Your site needs to be unique, attractive and full of as much information as you can find. Well written useful sites attract the most traffic, something that will fit in today&#8217;s world. The more informative your niche site is the more money you will make using this system.</p>
<p><strong>Why a Micro Niche Site Makes Money for You</strong></p>
<p>Most of the latest <strong>micro niche</strong> sites make money because they are blogs. Everyone loves to get on the internet and write about what they know. This is a good way to make money with <strong>micro niche</strong> sites. You can register for Adsense, Amazon or several other sites that will pay you to place ads on your site. The reason many <strong>micro niche</strong> sites are making money is because they are worldwide. Getting on the internet and just writing about what you know is easy for anyone to do.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a way to make money on the internet, then this technique is very easy to use. Making money with a <strong>micro niche</strong> site is the latest marketing tool. If you can write well, then just use your imagination and be unique. Everyone is looking for the latest new thing to make money on the internet. Although you can make money on the internet using these niche sites do not think it will all be roses and sunshine, it does take a lot of time and patience. Many sites take some fine tuning before they show real promise.</p>

<p>There are certain things you need to know about <strong>CPA networks</strong>. First, CPA, sometimes referred to as &#8220;Cost Per Action&#8221; is a type of internet marketing where consumers only need to carry out specific &#8216;actions&#8217; for the referring affiliate to get paid. This means that it is a very easy way of making money online, as no product or service needs to be purchased. There are many types of actions required for the consumer to do. Some of the simple tasks are requesting a free sample of a product, filling in a form or signing up for a free trial of a product. There are many other cases, where the consumer needs to make a small purchase to try a new product or service. The great thing with CPA is that those are actions that involve little or no cost to the consumer, and is therefore ready to take the steps.</p>
<p><strong>What is a CPA Network?</strong></p>
<p><strong>CPA networks</strong> are middle-companies or organizations which stand between the advertisers or companies that are ready to pay for leads and affiliates or publishers who want to make money for referring consumers to the offers of the companies.</p>
<p><strong>How CPA Networks Work</strong></p>
<p>Companies that have products or services need to make their products known to the public, but it is not possible for them to do everything alone. Therefore, they look for <strong>CPA networks</strong>, as those are organizations with a pool of publishers or affiliates with websites to promote the offers. There are many <strong>CPA networks</strong>, and most of them have hundreds or thousands of companies with different offers, paying as high as $100 for each valid referral.</p>
<p><strong>How To Make Money With CPA Networks</strong></p>
<p>In CPA, as a publisher or affiliate, the consumer does not need to buy the products or services before you will make money. This makes people to think that it is easy to make money with CPA. Of course, it is easy, but if you are not following the right strategies, you would not make anything. This is what happens to thousands of affiliates today. They are not making any money, while there are many others making thousands of dollars per day.</p>
<p>To join the CPA money-makers, these are the 5 tips for you:</p>
<ol>
<li>Weekly payment &#8211; Join <strong>CPA networks</strong> that pay on a weekly basis. There are some which pay monthly but the best thing is not to let your money be tied down for too long, as there have been cases of advertisers or <strong>CPA networks</strong> going out of business without notice.</li>
<li>Many offers &#8211; Join <strong>CPA networks</strong> that have many offers for you to promote.</li>
<li>High commission &#8211; Join <strong>CPA networks</strong> that pay higher. Advertisers join different networks and pay different rates of commission for the same promotion. Therefore, you need to investigate before signing up for an offer.</li>
<li>Traffic and leads tracking &#8211; Good networks have a good tracking system for the traffic and the leads you have generated. They also have a system for you to monitor your earnings. Therefore, those are the <strong>CPA networks</strong> that you should join.</li>
<li>Reputation &#8211; There are thousands of <strong>CPA networks</strong> out there. The danger is that you may not be paid if you join the network that does not have a hood reputation. There are good ones with history of prompt payment, good customer support, and various advertising tools to help you make money. Those are the <strong>CPA networks</strong> that you should join.</li>
</ol>
<p>You will make money with <strong>CPA networks</strong> if you consider those tips. Some other important things to consider are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Take advantage of YouTube traffic for the CPA offers you are promoting.</li>
<li> Promote offers requiring simple tasks like submitting zip codes and emails.</li>
<li>Promote offers that people are crazy about. For instance, offers for video or computer games perform well.</li>
<li>Do not chase offers with high payout like $100. They are not easy to convert. Offers of $0.5 to $2 perform better.</li>
</ul>
<p>The major challenge is getting approved to <strong>CPA networks</strong>. Make sure you are honest with your application, as those companies are very strict when it comes to accepting new affiliates. Make sure you follow their terms and conditions as that will always guarantee that you are paid at the end of the week.</p>

<p>The New Year, 2012 brings a fresh beginning and the unique chance to start anew once again. Do what you did in 2011 or you can turn 2012 into a memorable year by turning your blog into a money making machine &#8211; to make money on the internet. Look at 2012 as a new beginning for your blog. Look over the next few days and take a few hours to reflect on your failures and successes from 2011. Ask yourself why you didn&#8217;t achieve the goals you&#8217;ve set out to do last year. Ask yourself why you didn&#8217;t make the money you wanted to make on the internet.</p>
<p>If you are doubting yourself, just listen to Michaelangelo who said that &#8220;the greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.&#8221; Don&#8217;t be one of the 95% of the people who are going after &#8220;realistic goals&#8221;, go after the top 5% and set your goals above your competitors. You will spend the same amount of time achieving the mediocre goals as you would with bigger goals. Then why set your goals so low? Aim high for 2012. I wish each and every one of you that follow my blog the vest best for 2012. Happy New Year.</p>
<p>Below are Five Ways to Make 2012 Your Best Blogging Year</p>
<p><strong>Be a Serious Blogger</strong></p>
<p>You have to take your blog seriously or else you are not going to achieve your goals. Because the startup cost for a blog is so low, many people tend to spend too much time in the beginning and then close to nothing after the first few weeks. As I mentioned in my book, it won&#8217;t happen overnight. You will have to take your blog seriously and learn to treat it like an investment or like a real business. If you had paid $150,000 for your blog, will you leave it for four weeks before you return to the business? Well visit your blog often and pay attention to what your audience are looking for.</p>
<p><strong>Be Yourself</strong></p>
<p>A blog is a personal site where you get to share your knowledge with your fans and it should remain that way. It is about building relationships. You and your readers will define your blog as it grows. Your readers will continue to help you build your blog BUT that will happen only if you be yourself first. Don&#8217;t start a blog pretending to be someone else OR don&#8217;t heighten the expectation of your readers by committing to things that you can&#8217;t deliver. Just be honest and share what you know with your readers.</p>
<p><strong>Have a Mailing List</strong></p>
<p>No mailing list No Money. It is that simple. If you are not building a quality mailing list along with your blog, you are wasting your time. If you want your blog to make money, you need to invest in a mailing list solution. I recommend <a title="Aweber" href="http://www.aweber.com/?352293 " target="_blank">Aweber</a> whom I have been using for more than 2 years now. Their fees are affordable for newbies and as your list grows, your profits will justify the fee increases. Without a list, you have no one to speak to when you post an article or talk about a product, or whatever. Start building a mail list today.</p>
<p><strong>Post Regularly</strong></p>
<p>You MUST post on a regular basis. Now I am not the most fit to say that but like many of you, I am setting my goals high for 2012 as well. Your posting habit will dictate your blog success in making money on the internet. Like all of you, I started off this blog and have not made a single penny for months. Why? Because I was not posting as much as I should have. Once I started engaging my readers through a mailing list and postings, things started to turn around. Now, I could still do a good job on this and I hope like all of you, I will maintain a consistent posting schedule.</p>
<p><strong>Own Your Blog</strong></p>
<p>You have to get your own domain name for your blog. If you are using a blog provider like Blogspot or Wordpress.com, you have to switch today. It doesn&#8217;t cost a lot to have your own domain name hosted with a hosting provider. This way you will grow your blog and you will own full access to your blog. You can do whatever you want with it and you can choose to monetize it whichever way you want with it. There aren&#8217;t that kind of flexibility with other blog providers.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>At the end of the day, it is a decision you have to make for yourself. You need to decide if you want to take your blog seriously or not. It is all up to you. I recommend you take Michaelangelo&#8217;s quote and stick it on a sticky note to your computer screen. Just do it and you will see how powerful that is.</p>
<p><strong>I wish you success in 2012. Happy New Year!</strong></p>

<p><a title="PicYou.com" href="http://picyou.com" target="_blank">PicYou.com</a> offers you a user friendly platform for sharing photos which comes with custom filter effects on upload to enhance the images, it integrates with social media channels and aims to be a platform that is easy to use.</p>
<p>Photo Sharing on the internet has been around for many years now. Every now and then a new idea pops up with a twist. PicYou is a photo sharing site with a twist.</p>
<p>I thought their site was designed to attract businesses as well as individuals. It is an elegant design that would allow businesses to take advantage of a platform to market their brands.</p>
<p>Let me just point you to a few questions we&#8217;ve asked of one of the individual involved with the project, Joseph Ashburner.</p>
<p>Joseph has explained what the site is all about&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>What is Your Vision for this Business?</strong></p>
<p>PicYou.com is website offering users an easy to use and fun platform for instantly sharing photos online including integration with social media channels, custom filter effects on upload to enhance images, and social networking elements that take the idea of a photo sharing platform a step further. The idea is similar to the iPhone app Instagram but enhances the concept with access from any web based device and a wider scope of features.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.startupbooster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/picyou.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1959" title="picyou" src="http://www.startupbooster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/picyou.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="381" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What is the Business Plan or model?</strong></p>
<p>Traditional display advertising and sponsorships with custom branded photo filters (patent pending technology) that allow sponsors to spread brand awareness and provide users with a unique filter effect to use on their photos.</p>
<p><strong>Why Did You Start this Website?</strong></p>
<p>Passion for photography and offering users an instant way to share their best photos.</p>
<p><strong>How are You Planning to market it?</strong></p>
<p>Our marketing plan involves PR and outreach to prominent tech blogs, PPC Display advertising, as well as Social Media promotions in order gain momentum on all levels of the marketing spectrum. Our outreach to startup booster and other startup sites of course also forms a part of this in our initial beta phases.</p>
<p><strong>Who are the Founders of this Website?</strong></p>
<p>Ivan Wong &amp; Adam Oliver</p>
<p><strong>Where are You Located?</strong></p>
<p>San Franciso , USA</p>
<p><strong>How are you Different from Your Competitors?</strong></p>
<p>PicYou is aimed at providing the most simple and fun to use experience possible for users to share photos online within a non-cluttered and user friendly UI. There is already some strong competetion in the photo sharing niche. Below is a summary of a few of the points that  we feel give PicYou the edge against it&#8217;s competition:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Ease of use </strong>– Leading photo sharing sites offer a great service but for the most part lack the edge of simplicity that lies at the core of PicYou. The site as as idiot proof as they come.</li>
<li><strong>Custom filters </strong>– Our custom branded filter effects are a fun way to add an extra edge to snapshots and are a helluva fun to use. More importantly , this feature is unique to PicYou when compared with other leaders in the field.</li>

<p>It shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise to many that Steve Jobs has decided to take the &#8220;exit&#8221; from Apple. The question that I am pondering all day is when Apple will take the Exit from the smart phone/tablet market.</p>
<p>According to the history books, it didn&#8217;t take long for Apple to fall when Steve Jobs left Apple first time around. In fact, at that time, he was fired. Something Apple would still regret even now.</p>
<p>When he left Apple, Jobs found two other companies &#8211; NeXT and Pixar. We all know the history of those companies. If you want to learn more, you can read here on <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs" target="_blank">Steve Jobs</a> personal profile on Wikipedia.</p>
<p>With furious competition in the smart phone/tablet market at the moment, it will be difficult to sustain the glow on Apple. Stock price has dropped by nearly 5% on this news.</p>
<p>To all those that are developing Apple Apps, I have one question for you &#8211; How do you feel about Jobs resignation today? Do you feel that Apple is on track and will survive without Steve Jobs full commitment?</p>
<p>I have such great respect for Steve Jobs. What a wonderful entrepreneur. I have previously posted a video of <a title="http://www.startupbooster.com/2010/09/15/top-ten-time-management-videos-you-must-watch/" href="http://www.startupbooster.com/2010/09/15/top-ten-time-management-videos-you-must-watch/" target="_blank">Steve Jobs&#8217; Address to the 2005 Stanford Commencement</a>. I still listen to that speech at least once a month OR whenever I feel that I need an energy boost for my entrepreneurial mind.</p>
<p>I was thinking about this so I thought I would share with you guys as well. Love to hear your thoughts.</p>

<p>As mentioned in my previous article web giant<a title="http://www.startupbooster.com/2011/06/28/google%E2%80%99s-proposed-attack-on-facebook-juggernaut-gives-hope-to-entrepreneurs/" href="http://www.startupbooster.com/2011/06/28/google%E2%80%99s-proposed-attack-on-facebook-juggernaut-gives-hope-to-entrepreneurs/" target="_self"> Google is attempting to become more social with the launch of their upcoming Google+ service</a>, Google’s most recent attempt at success in the social media sector. However Google does not only want to innovate the way you use social media, they want to help you manage and track your online success using the social media already out there.</p>
<p>Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools have added new tools for tracking information like tweets, likes and +1s in your website’s traffic with the ability to then analyze that information. The basic features of these new tools include a “+1 Metrics Section” which provides feedback on the impact of the +1 Button on a search. The analytics then show how these +1s affect your website’s (CTR) click through rate, tracking the amount of +1s per page visited. This tool then maintains an accurate graph, so you can track the data over time.</p>
<p>To go along with those new tools Google also added the Activity report and Audience report features to their improved Webmaster Tools. The Activity report displays how many +1s your website pages have received. While the Audience report takes it a step further and displays geographic and demographic data about users that have +1′d your website.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most intriguing feature in the updated Webmaster tools is the new Social Plugin Tracking tool for Google Analytics. This tool compares the impact of different types of social actions on your website. It tracks +1s as well as other social network actions like Twitter tweets and Facebook Likes. These social Plugin Tracking features are broken into three categories, Social Engagement, Social Actions and Social Pages. Social Engagement tracks visitor behavior such as, time spent on your site, pages viewed etc. Social Actions tracks the numbers of actions done on your site including, +1’s, tweets and likes. Social Pages compares your page to others based on the number of social actions they receive.</p>
<p>For people who have their own websites, myself included this is a great tool. Not only does it track your web success as per the number of likes, +1’s etc. It provides data outside the Google network delving into Facebook and Twitter. While information such as the demography and geography of your visitors is an extremely valuable tool to have as you can see exactly who your audience is so you can better appeal to them. Fellow entrepreneurs and web enthusiasts out there, let’s use this knowledge to empower ourselves and our websites and ventures to new, unseen heights! Because as they say: Knowledge is power.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>In 2011, there is one thing that is a certainty in the digital world, social media sells. Facebook more than anyone else has proved this by becoming the most visited website in the world, you could call Facebook an overnight sensation, although that wouldn’t be entirely accurate. But obviously the website launched by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 has grown beyond any logical expectations in a very short period of time, but we all know that story of course, after countless books and 2010’s Hollywood smash hit: <a title="The Social Network" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/" target="_blank">The Social Network</a>. Facebook’s rise has been so massive it has others following it dying to catch up; including fellow digital giant Google. Although now it appears Google is ready to finally launch a legitimate challenge.</p>
<p>Following its disastrous first foray into social media with Google Buzz in February of 2010, Google needed a Plan B and it seems they have found it with the newly launching: Google +. Google + which is currently on a field trial period, meaning it is available by invitation only is said to include new features such as,  a group sharing feature which allows you to share “just the right things with just the right people.&#8221; Users are encouraged to create groups, or as they call them &#8220;circles&#8221; of contacts with which you share information. Groups can include anything from, &#8220;your friends from the tennis club,&#8221; &#8220;your family,&#8221; and as quoted by The Wall Street Journal &#8220;<a title="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304447804576413992112605886.html" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304447804576413992112605886.html" target="_blank">your boss in a circle by himself-just like in real life.</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>Google + is content and contacts grouped specifically and exclusively setting up a new degree of privacy in the social media world. Furthermore Google + allows users to have video chats, similar to a feature within its Gmail service, but with one key upgrade: users can talk to and see numerous friends simultaneously.  Also part of that service is a service called &#8220;Sparks,&#8221; which suggests articles to read and videos to watch based on what the service knows about the user’s interests. While its &#8220;Huddle&#8221; feature lets text messages be sent to several different people at once, known as group texting, an attractive feature since group-texting companies such as <a title="GroupMe Inc" href="http://groupme.com/" target="_blank">GroupMe Inc</a>. have attracted thousands of users.</p>
<p>Where do we entrepreneurs fit in you ask? Well for that we have to backtrack a little bit in our story. Following the flop of Google Buzz in 2010, which included privacy complaints and unwanted information sharing, Google responded by buying up quite a few smaller social media applications including entrepreneur <a title="Rohit Khare's Angstro (KNX.to)" href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/27/google-buys-angstro-as-it-furthers-social-strategy/" target="_blank">Rohit Khare’s Angstro (KNX.to)</a> a real-time search engine and API that looks up most recent social information about your friends, from their LinkedIn profile to their Facebook profile. Thus, Google was looking to others, the innovators and forward-thinkers of social media to try and compete with Facebook. Rohit Khare was even hired by Google following his company being purchased.</p>
<p>So there you have it my friends go off and innovate, create and forward think. Social media is all about how we share, sharing be it, ideas, music, data, really anything you can imagine, so if you think of a new way to share new things, maybe you too can change the face of social media.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[According to a recent consumer report app usage now surpasses web usage - now is the time to capitalize if you have an idea for a new and innovative app. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>As times and technologies change in the digital world one thing remains a constant; people crave convenience. The easier something is to access the more that people will fluctuate towards it. That is true in many aspects of life including, transport, finances and of course technology.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.startupbooster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Chart_MobileAppConsumption_TimeSpentPerCategory-resized-6001.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1932" title="Chart Mobile App Consumption Time Spent Per Category" src="http://www.startupbooster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Chart_MobileAppConsumption_TimeSpentPerCategory-resized-6001.png" alt="" width="600" height="399" /></a></p>
<p>Technology particularly through the internet has evolved substantially over the past few decades. It was not too long ago during the advent of the internet that the World Wide Web was seen as the apex of internet technology. Today, according to recent consumer reports by <a title="Flurry Report on Mobile Apps" href="http://blog.flurry.com/bid/63907/Mobile-Apps-Put-the-Web-in-Their-Rear-view-Mirror" target="_blank">Flurry</a>, that is no longer true. Could it be that the World Wide Web has been overtaken by a more convenient, user friendly format? – Enter the world of the app, access with just a click.</p>
<p>In August of 2010 <em>Wired Magazine</em> published a rather boldly titled article:<br />
“<em><a title="Web is Dead. Long Live the Internet." href="http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/08/ff_webrip/all/1">The Web is dead. Long live the internet.</a>”<br />
Wired </em>then predicted a trend was happening, a trend that has become the reality today. The web app has overtaken the World Wide Web in terms of usage rates. As per Flurry, according to the latest reports of mobile data stats from comScore and Alexa, in June of 2011, consumers spent 81 minutes per day using mobile apps, compared to 74 minutes of web surfing. Furthermore, according to a recent report by <a title="Mary Meeker and Matt Murphy" href="http://www.slideshare.net/kleinerperkins/kpcb-top-10-mobile-trends-feb-2011" target="_blank">Mary Meeker and Matt Murphy</a>, tablet and smartphone shipments have surpassed those of desktops and notebooks, an inevitability considering the portability of your android phone versus a PC. A new trend is here to embrace fellow entrepreneurs, and it comes in the form of fast and portable.</p>
<p>Thus, if you have an idea for an innovative, convenient and easy to use app now more than ever before is your time to capitalize. Now before you go off and develop your new easy to use “dog grooming iPhone app” there are a few trends you should be aware of. First, although consumers spend 9% more time on average, using mobile apps, the growth in mobile app usage comes mostly from more sessions per user, rather than longer sessions overall.</p>
<p>Also most heavy app users are reported to spend the majority of their time on leisurely functions, rather than more business oriented ones with 47% of their app time spent playing games and 32% of time spent on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. After that the news follows at a low 9%. So based on those stats it would indicate people want to stay entertained as well as informed socially, all at the convenience of their fingertips.</p>
<p>Bare that in mind my friends when developing your next idea. Establish what do people want? Well one of those is obvious – convenience. Gone are the days where web searching is the premium, people want their content fast and easy, quite literally in their hands. Once that is established, target and perfect your niche market – what do they want to be convenient and how am I going to more convenient than my competitors? Take those tips to heart and it is very possible your success will all be a matter of clicking a button.</p>

<p>In addition, Drew Loftus one of the founders of TinderBox is providing us the important information we must know about TinderBox.</p>
<p><strong>What is the URL of Your Website?</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.gettinderbox.com" target="_blank">www.gettinderbox.com</a></p>
<p><strong>What is Your Vision for this Business?</strong></p>
<p>Our vision is to provide a software tool that can allow organizations to easily create, manage, deliver, and track interactive business proposals.</p>
<p><strong>What is the Business Plan or model?</strong></p>
<p>Our model offers three products- a small business plan, professional plan, and enterprise package. Each product has specific features for either small, medium, or large sales organizations ranging from templates to Salesforce.com and other custom integrations on the enterprise level. We charge monthly per user depending on the product and also offer implementation services for professional and enterprise users.</p>
<p><strong>Why Did You Start this Website?</strong></p>
<p>We truly built this website out of need. The entire TinderBox team has a background in sales and we&#8217;ve thought for years that the process of sending pdf proposals and then hoping for productive follow-up responses was outdated. We (and our customers) feel strongly that this is the right solution to help update the &#8220;status-quo&#8221; proposal process while helping companies leverage rich media and technology.</p>
<p><strong>How are You Planning to market it?</strong></p>
<p>We currently have a sales team of one (me) who handels our day-to-day business development. As we grow we&#8217;ll add to this team while investing in SEO/SEM.</p>
<p><strong>Who are the Founders of this Website?</strong></p>
<p>Kristian Andersen, Mike Fitzgerald, Dustin Sapp, and Drew Loftus</p>
<p><strong>Where are You Located?</strong></p>
<p>Indiana</p>
<p><strong>When Did you Start this Website?</strong></p>
<p>Jan 2010</p>
<p><strong>How are you Different from Your Competitors?</strong></p>
<p>Mid-market to enterprise there aren&#8217;t any true 1:1 competitors that we know of. There is a lower price point product called Proposable that has great features for individuals or small teams that want to set the product up themselves and have no need for additional support. Although our Small Business package meets this same need the core of our business revolves around Professional and Enterprise which both require ongoing support and training. We also compete at the enterprise level with a variety of products that require significant investment ($50k+ upfront) for very specific needs and large scale implementations. We&#8217;ve found most companies at the enterprise level steer away from this kind of upfront investment.</p>
<p><strong>Tell Me More About You or Your Business:</strong></p>
