Enterprise SEO has been my topic of choice for extracurricular “thought leadership” over the years. Last year, I gave a presentation on how we generated 40% year-over-year organic revenue growth by focusing on out executing the competition, not outsmarting them. While my presentation focused on the in-house side of enterprise SEO, I’ve also experienced (and written about ) getting things done—or trying to get things done—at an agency.

Today we’re excited to announce that we led DemandStar ’s $2m seed round. The Seattle-based company provides an online marketplace for business-to-government commerce – it connects local and national suppliers with government procurement officers. . It should come as no surprise that government procurement is riddled with inefficiency. $1.5 trillion is spent in the local government procurement market, but billions are wasted due to scarce competition and outdated processes.

We’re in a global pandemic. The simple truth is that all venture capitalists have told their portfolio Founder/CEOs that if they don’t absolutely need to raise capital now that they shouldn’t be out there attempting to do so. Wait. Wait until fall. Wait until 2021. Wait until the situation changes. So why should you follow a different approach?

Starting a food truck business is an attractive alternative to opening a restaurant. The initial costs are significantly lower than opening a traditional restaurant and the popularity of food trucks only continues to grow. This doesn’t mean that food trucks are cheap, though. It can cost anywhere from $5,000 to over $100,000 to open a new truck, so you’ll want to make sure you understand the risks.

Google AdWords could be a great addition to your marketing strategy. Not every brand is leveraging PPC marketing these days, meaning that it could be a great opportunity to gain an advantage over your competition. Those who have no experience might find it harder simply because it takes a bit of time to learn. But once you get the basics out of the way, you can move on to more complicated stuff.

Moving from home can be a big step for many. It can both feel a bit nerve-wracking and exciting. Finally, you get to have your own space where you are in charge. That is also including the design of the home. It can be difficult to find your own style, and many spend big parts of their lives doing that. But one tip is to pick out some things that are stylistic and timeless in their expression, which does not mean that they cannot be full of interesting details or have a bald design.
