  9. A Business Model Must Scale • In order to get financing from anyone other than friends and family, your startup must be able to scale. • Scale means a company must add revenue faster than it adds costs. • Writing a novel scales– you don’t have to write a new copy for everyone who buys the book. • Software scales – write it once and sell it to lots of people.

  10. No Scale • Services don’t scale. • Services that charge by the hour, such as production companies, advertising agencies, consulting, law firms, gardeners, etc. don’t scale. • No scale, no $ from investors.

  11. Setting Up a Website • Get a domain name • Buy it (register it) and close mutations (.net, .tv, .us, etc.) on GoDaddy.com or namesecure.com or negotiate with squatter (afternic.com) • Serving the domain name and site • Web hosting company – where you registered it or third party such as GoDaddy.com or HostGator.com. • Microsoft or Linux server software (some hosting services give you a choice – Linux is less expensive. • MySql and Fetch or other interfaces as needed (need some way to FTP files to and edit site) • E-mail addresses • Transfer domain name to server

  12. Design a Site • Online platform • Proprietary platform • Server company design software, i.e. SquareSpace • Original design • Do it yourself - HTML, CSS • Word Press, e.g. • Drupal (PHP, open source)

Setting Up a Website • Design • Read Don’t Make Me Think by Steve Krug • Banner sizes • Navigation • Contact Us • Terms of Service • Privacy Policy • Registration, if needed • Subscribe (RSS), if needed • Video (expensive to serve) • Community (social networking) • Facebook, Google+ Sign In • FB, Twitter, Reddit, etc. links • HTML • CSS • Java • Adobe Acrobat • Video player • Browser compatibility

  14. Setting Up a Website • Platform/Architecture • Proprietary (Movable Type, InGage e.g.) vs. open source (Drupal, e.g.) • Get an expert webmaster • Get ad serving if ad supported • Get video serving (Brightcove, e.g.) • Commerce – secure payment, Verisign, PayPal, or outsource it.

  15. Setting Up a Website • Marketing (the key to success) • Social Media -- Create buzz (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, SnapChat, LinkedIn) • Publicity (PR firm) • Advertising (reciprocal deals, Google Search, programmatic) • Viral marketing (not as effective as advertising)
