How to Get 1% Better at Closing Investors When Fundraising

September 12, 2022 by OptionsAndTraders

If you’re looking to grow your business sustainably with a low CAC, join us at AreaHype.
Contact us today for more info!

Kim Kardashian, reality TV star and entrepreneur is putting her finger in the cookie jar!

She is joining in on the action with her new venture firm SKKY partners.Teaming up with Jay Sammons, a former Carlyle Group partner.

Yes! They are going to be Co-Founders / Co-Managing Directors!

Their thesis primarily focuses on: entertainment, consumer products, hospitality, luxury, and digital commerce.

This is great to hear, but deep down, how do you actually attract their attention?

It’s 2022 and investor sentiment has drastically dropped due to post-pandemic collateral damage, a crash in the crypto market, and the cascading repositioning of stock portfolios.

You’ve probably been told no over 100 times this year. If you haven’t been told no, you aren’t working hard enough to fundraise.

Don’t worry, it’s part of the process.

Why are they rejecting you? Why are they saying no? Why is it so damn hard to fundraise in 2022? Isn’t there a ton of dry powder? How do some founders raise millions of dollars without a product?

The answer is simple. “Make something people want.”
— Paul Graham Co-Founder of Y-Combinator.

Guess what? There are tons of duplicate ideas out there, it’s almost 2023, and most of the solutions we need to propel society forward have already been created.

This leads to over-saturation, a distaste for ideas that are too similar to one another. It’s very rare to be 100% unique and unlike anything out there, because we naturally learn from other people’s mistakes and build something better.

How do you stand out?

Outside of a really great idea, you need to be sustainable. Investors don’t want to risk a ton of money on something that might work. They want to be pretty damn sure that something will work.

Simple put, you need to de-risk the investor.

This is easily done by having a low customer acquisition cost (CAC).

Why are you burning so much money trying to get customers to figure out who the hell you are?

Think about it, what the hell are you doing spending $3000+ a month on ads that lead to less than 1% conversion? Is this sustainable?

Let’s do the math, You pay $3000 to potentially get 5,000 more views?

You convert 1% of them, or 5000 x 0.01 = 50 new customers.

In order to break even, you need to make at least $100 on average per new customer. Can you do that month over month? Some people can, some people can’t.

Most of us can’t.

The system is designed to make you believe that you can obtain more customers if you keep throwing more and more money into ads.

Let’s think about that.

Take the risk, and throw more money to hope that you don’t have overlapping views of previous customers. Hope that you can maintain your growth.

If you ask any successful investor, hope doesn’t pay the bills. Results do.

So hope doesn’t mean jack when you are burning more money to try and make it. This is why a lot of startups fail.

The solution is simple: grow sustainably by reducing your CAC and becoming profitable sooner. Make sure you can get money in the bank, and make sure you aren’t just burning it on hope.

This will significantly de-risk your prospective investor, and make it easier for you to raise capital.

Think about it, wouldn’t you want to spend less money to make more money? If you tell an investor that you make more money and spend less to acquire a customer than your competitors, it’s a no-brainer!

We figured out a way to do this at AreaHype.

Currently, all forms of marketing and advertising charge businesses upfront for high CAC and little hope.

Marketing Secret: working with creators delivers the best conversion rates. Unfortunately, the platforms they use still rely on legacy technology which charges businesses upfront.

We figured out a sustainable way to deliver GUARANTEED results before businesses pay with our 1-click routing and checkout.

Skip the BS, stop wasting money, and don’t pay for hope. Pay for results.

We will drastically reduce your CAC while helping you grow sustainably.

Refund Time: 5 Ways You Can Use Your Tax Refund Today

September 12, 2022 by OptionsAndTraders

If you’re looking for a network of like-minded investors who want to share ideas and learn together, you’ve come to the right place at Options and Traders Network. Contact us today for more info!

Refund Time: 5 Ways You Can Use Your Tax Refund Today

The IRS reports that over 77% of Americans can expect a tax refund this year, with an average amount of $2873. That’s a lot of money! Instead of spending all your earnings right away, why not be prudent with your money and use it beneficially towards your future you? If you’ve been looking for ideas on how you can use your refund this fiscal year, Options and Traders Network shares 5 great tips to get you started.

Invest in the Stock Market

Do you know that famous quote about how it’s impossible ‘to outperform the stock market’? Financial experts like Warren Buffet swear by this mantra for a reason – it really pays to invest in the stock market. You’ll have higher returns than bonds, CDs, savings accounts, and many other kinds of investments. And if you don’t have immediate financial need, retaining your stocks in a long-term manner will be an excellent way to accentuate your returns.

Save It for a Rainy Day

Did you know that most Americans don’t have an emergency fund? That’s right, CNBC reports that the lack of adequate savings can make it difficult for Americans to access funds when they have sudden financial need. A healthy savings account will ensure you’re not vulnerable if you lose your job or are hit with unexpected medical bills. Being in such situations without funds can cause you to overuse credit cards and take out loans at high-interest rates. Instead, putting it in a high-interest savings account is a great way to contribute to your emergency fund while reaping the benefits of your interest premiums!

Pay Off Outstanding Debts

Stuck in an endless debt cycle? Feel weighed down by ever-accruing home loans and piles of bills? We understand; living with debt can be all-consuming. Using your tax refund towards your debt is an excellent way to reduce the burden and make a dent in your payments. Remember that your refund may not be enough to wipe your balances completely clean, but it is still a worthwhile strategy. Use your refund to pay off credit card debts first, as these often have the highest interest rates.

Put It Towards School

If you’ve been looking to invest in your future in the business world by going back to school, you have a ready solution with your refund. Going back to school is an excellent way to make a career change or increase the job opportunities coming your way. If you’re looking to achieve your business diploma while working or tending to family responsibilities, opting for an online degree program like one leading to an MBA will be the way to go. Just ensure that your online school is accredited and offers competitive tuition rates! And the most significant benefit of using your refund towards furthering your education? You’re literally investing in yourself!

Get Better Insurance

An excellent life insurance policy will ensure that you can rest easy through the ups and downs of life. It also ensures that your loved ones are protected and set up at a relatively lost cost. Using your refund towards an improved policy will allow your family to maintain their standard of living, even if something unexpected happens. And the good news is that you’ll still have a little money left after you pay off your premiums!

Tax refund season is the best time of year! Not only are you coming into money you weren’t expecting, but receiving your refund is also an opportunity to set yourself in a better position for the future. Be sure to use one of the ideas above when it comes to your windfall – we promise they are great options to make your money work harder for you.

Tips for Relocating – How to Start Fresh in a New City

March 17, 2022 by OptionsAndTraders

Tips for Relocating: How to Start Fresh in a New City

Moving to a new city won’t magically solve your problems. However, a change in location may be the perfect tonic if you’ve been foundering in your current job and location. A new city can lead to more job opportunities and a clean break from anything that’s holding you back. Here, Options and Traders Network offers some insight on how to decide if moving is right for you and how to make the leap.

How to prepare for a move in recovery

How can you be confident you’re making a smart move for your recovery? Here’s what to consider as you plan a move.

Moving shouldn’t be an impulse decision driven by escapism. Be honest about your motives and choose your new location based on practical factors like a safe place to live, a like-minded community, good schools and job opportunities.
Start applying for jobs before moving. Major employers are usually more willing to hire out-of-towners. Consider traveling to local industry events to build your network and learn about job opportunities.
Identify MeetUp or networking groups where you can get to know people in your industry or who have similar interests.
Hire moving help. Whether you hire full-service movers or pay for a few hours of loading and unloading help, it’s worth having an extra set of hands.

Finding somewhere to live in a new city

Beyond budget, what should you consider when searching for a rental in a new city?

Choose the right neighborhood. Do you want a lively urban district or a quiet residential area? Pay attention to commute times, green space, and nearby businesses when choosing where to live.
Convenient amenities like all-inclusive rent, in-unit laundry, and on-site fitness centers ease your transition if you’re moving into an apartment.
If you’re renting a home, look for rentals with lawn care included or hire out for yard services so you don’t have to worry about buying a lawnmower right away.

Settling into your new home

Take these steps after arriving in your new city to start feeling at home.

Make your move official by updating your license and registration with the motor vehicle office, registering to vote, and notifying important services of your new address.
Find a new doctor, dentist, and mental health care provider in your network and set up an initial appointment.
Put yourself out there. You won’t meet friends sitting at home. Introduce yourself to your neighbors, volunteer, and socialize at coworking spaces, coffee shops, and bars.

A change of scenery might be just what you need, but relocating takes some work. Set yourself up for a successful move by securing employment and housing ahead of time. With careful planning, your move can put you on the path toward the future you want.

The Reality of Events Without the Use of AreaHype the Mobile App

January 28, 2022 by OptionsAndTraders

Imagine your first day of college. You were young, probably 18 or 19. You were someone who was ambitious and you wanted to conquer the world. You wanted to find comrades who you could study with, play games with, and most importantly, people you could hang out with.

What did you do?

You probably spoke to people in your classes, attended some of the booths at orientation, and hung out with people in the recreational center to get the latest scoop on what the coolest thing to do was.

Maybe you wanted to get involved on campus and you joined multiple clubs to go to all those super cool events like you see in the movies.

Were those events cool? Did people go to those events? How did you know about them?

The reality is, things change on a whim. Sometimes there is a really cool event that everybody is talking about, and you think it’s going to be awesome, and then you attend, and nobody is there.

Everyone is talking about the new wicked water balloon fight on campus, and you see that there is a facebook group with 500 people saying that they are going to attend the event.

That sounds legit right? It’s going to be a great time, and everyone is going to be loving it!

What happens when reality hits?

You get your swimming suit on, put your clothes on, and you drive out to the event. You expect at least 10% of the people to show up. 500 people x 10% = 50 people.

That would have been a fun event right?

The reality is, maybe 3–8 people actually show up. But the idea was a good idea, the idea seemed really fun, it seemed really intriguing! Why isn’t anyone coming through?

Let’s think about this for a moment.

People typically only go to events if their friends are going. If one popular friend says that things have changed last minute, then they simply don’t go.

All the primary friends of the individual don’t go. Consequently, the secondary friends wonder if they should go or not, because their friend’s friends are not going.

They become indecisive and decide not to go, because they don’t know anyone that is going. Hence, reality hits, and what was suppose to be 500 people, actually turns out to be 3–8 people.

Eventually, some dorm students see the event going, and they stop and watch. They ask if the event is FREE, and if it is, they go to their dorm, get changed, and come back.

If this happens, the event may have 10–15 people, and become a “success”.

Most events aren’t this successful, you call everybody out, post things on meetup.com, eventbrite.com, post flyers around the campus, and you work really hard on marketing the event. You even spend money on advertising the event, and the results are futile.

Your return on investment does not pay off.

How do you solve this problem?

It’s simple, generate hype, and give people the ability to access it with the click of 1 button.

We do this with AreaHype.

Why a Fully-Functioning Website Is Essential to Your Business’s Growth

January 27, 2022 by OptionsAndTraders

Why a Fully-Functioning Website Is Essential to Your Business’s Growth

In today’s digital age, websites are the backbone of your business’s presence online. In fact, a fully functioning website has the potential to increase revenue exponentially because your company is just a click away from being found online. Furthermore, for a website to be effective at reaching milestones, it makes sense then that it should be designed with this in mind. So without ado, Options & Traders offers up some tools you should consider integrating into your website’s design to grow your business to the levels you desire.

Website optimization and why it works

Website optimization can sound like quite a complex topic to those that aren’t in the know regarding information technology and all its technicalities. In reality, though, if you can understand what it is and how to apply it, even a beginner can put these tools in place to get the ball moving in the right direction. What it comes down to really is establishing how you can enhance the user-friendliness of your website, whilst also ensuring that your website is easily found on the web. Ease of navigability plays a vital role here as well as the design elements such as choosing the most appropriate colors, fonts, font size, and image sizes to improve readability.

It’s also got to tie in with the requirements of what Google thinks a good website should be. Moreover, it’s about creating a website that speaks to your audience’s wants and needs and provides them with a platform to get what they want with minimal effort. In other words, it’s about increasing the searchability of your website online to increase the traffic that actually lands upon your website’s homepage. This obviously, then, has the potential to increase leads, increasing the odds of converting them into actual customers.

The different methods of website optimization

Location citations

Local citations are but one component of a successful SEO strategy that has been proven to increase your business’s visibility online. It involves listing your business’s credentials across various directories, apps, and websites. Location citations build the credibility of your business as a result of the increased presence of your website. This inevitably enhances your website’s visibility and, therefore, SEO by the algorithmic standards set by Google.

Blending your website with internal tools to improve productivity

Customer Relationship Management systems or CRMs are an essential component of growing your business by enhancing lead generation and identifying those leads that are likely to convert into customers in the nearby future. Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (or ERPs), on the other hand, assist with customer management processes online and how to streamline these processes better.

Integrating growth tools like these with your website can amplify your reach even further. Furthermore, with a well-designed website in your toolbox, you’re likely to hit the bullseye more often than not. Here, it’s about figuring out how to integrate these internal tools with your website, which can be easily done with widely accessible software that can make this transition much smoother. At the end of the day, all it’s really about is creating a seamless customer experience in one location.

Making the difference to realize the difference

In summary, when it comes to optimizing your website, certain changes will need to be done. Not only this, but modifications will in all likelihood need to be done regularly to keep up with the times as well as ensure your website stays relevant. If done right, though, you’re sure to reap the rewards of a job well done as your business grows from strength to strength.
