    I am wondering about your economics. Back of the envelope: 800 usd per month (min 80 hrs of work) translates into max 10 USD hourly revenue. Does not sound like much for "expert kn…

    Like the idea, generally, but two questions: 1) For our company to make a decision it would be really important to roughly know the costs per lead upfront. Have you considered this…

    What a great idea - I'd love to join but unfortunately I am busy on the 8th. Would be great to schedule the next meeting a bit more in advance (1-2 weeks) and preferably on Thu-Sun…

    From my experience, the best way to start planning is to give your lecture its structure first. For a start, I'd divide it into 2 parts: (1) Internal perspective [The bright idea, …
