Today’s question is from Troy. I’m seeing lots of engagement but minimal conversions from traffic driven from my Facebook page, so I’m wondering if I should focus on building the brand via Facebook and then worry about obtaining customers later?

Today’s question is from Michael. My partner and I are in pre-development for an online app. We are doing some user feedback surveys and thought about doing a prototype of the game that people could play while providing feedback. Is there anything else we should be doing to get feedback at this time?

Today’s question is from Simon. I recently co-founded a startup. We’ve been passively applying to accelerators and incubators and then were planning to aggressively pursue them once the MVP is done. However, I’ve seen that a lot of early stage startups get rejected from these programs even if they are profitable. When should we apply and where should we apply?

Today’s question is from an anonymous listener. I was approached about being the founder of a startup. We had a few great calls and set up a time to sign documents, etc. I haven’t had direct contact with the other founder aside from sending the documents (three days late). Is this an issue or something I should be leery of?

Today’s question is from Melinda. I’m launching a startup soon and our biggest revenue model is running ads on the platform. We want to get to profit soon but we don’t want to turn off potential users by showing ads when they first join.
