synthesis.
How to start a startup: know the secrets of the most successful ones
http://www.maestrosdelweb.com/como-iniciar-una-startup/
The best ideas from world-renowned startup creators (Start, start something,
start something, initiate) so you can start thinking about yours and be able to
answer the question you ask yourself every morning before getting out of bed: How
to start a startup ?
No matter what you choose, build things around smart people, things like open
source projects, startups , improvements in the company you work for. Most people
incorrectly think about the risks of decisions. It is mentioned that salary should not
be a factor in the decisions you make, considering the option of, for example, being
an employee of a startup , it would almost inevitably have many more advantages,
including working with intelligent people, learning an entire business , etc.
4
1. The execution is 10 times more important than the idea and a thousand
times more difficult too, we have to make sure that we love the idea we are
executing.
2. An idea should include the size and trend of the market, the company's
growth strategy and the defense strategy (barriers to entry). When
evaluating an idea, it is necessary to think about all these aspects, not just
the product.
3. A startup can take 10 years to grow. Long-term vision from day 0 is a huge
advantage.
6. The best ideas usually seem bad at first. It's okay if an idea doesn't seem
great at first. It is a common problem that founders need to show the idea as
giant.
7. Look for a small market and then expand. Think about the market trend,
what it will be like in 10 years. It is a mistake of many investors who only
look at the market today.
9. Successful ideas are almost always very easy to explain and understand. It
shouldn't take more than one sentence to explain what you do.
10. While you are a student, dedicate yourself to: thinking about new ideas and
meeting potential partners.
11. Most people first think about what they want to express or build and then
find an audience for that idea. You should do the opposite: think about the
audience first. Maintain focus on the needs and trends of that audience, in
order to create the appropriate product.
About products:
5
1. A product includes customer support and the entire customer interaction
process.
2. When successful founders tell the story of their beginnings, they tell us that
all they were doing was sitting at the computer developing the product or
talking to customers. Nothing else matters (raising money, hiring, business
development, partners, marketing, etc.), all of this is easier when the
product is finished.
3. Create something that a small number of users love, rather than something
that many users like a little, because then it will be easier to expand. (The
total amount of love distributed will be the same in the world ☺). Find a
small number of users and do something they love.
4. Word of mouth: if you don't have organic growth in the beginning, the
product probably isn't that good yet. It is best not to spend time on growth
hacking or other marketing techniques at first, as it is a waste of time.
5. The first users must be obtained by hand, it is better not to “buy” users with
ads.
7. Start with something simple as that will force you to do it extremely well.
6
About partners and teams:
1. For some reason, most entrepreneurs (mainly students) look for less
important partners even than those they look for as employees. For
example: you meet another entrepreneur at an event and without prior
experience you set out together to set up a company.
3. It is better to have no partner than to have a bad partner. But it's also bad to
be a founder alone.
5. It is ideal that before hiring someone the founders have done that work with
their own hands.
6. It's important to define your company's values and culture before hiring
someone. (I personally admire Buffer 's example.)
8. Mediocre people affect a large company but do not kill it. Mediocre people
ruin a startup.
9. Use your sources: try to hire people you already know, the first 100
employees are usually referrals in the most successful companies.
10. In most startup positions, the experience of the first employees is not always
important.
11. Three questions to ask yourself before hiring someone: Are they smart?
does it do things? Do I want to spend a lot of time with that person?
12. The best way to test someone is to work on a small project before hiring
them.
13. Call references. Ask everything you can think of, whether I would hire him
again, what things he did, etc. Ask why everything.
16. After hiring people, focus on retaining them. Make them feel happy and
valuable.
7
17. Three things that motivate people the most: autonomy, authority and goals.
18. Fire fast! If someone doesn't work, you have to fire them as soon as
possible. This is the worst aspect of owning a business.
3. CEO Responsibilities:
5. One question Sam asks founders is what do they spend their time doing? In
a startup there are many things that require 100% attention. What are the
two or three most important things? You have to focus on that.
6. Define key goal: the objective that the entire company must follow.
10. Every time you talk to a successful founder you realize that they have done
new things.
8
12. Selling solves all the problems in a startup .
There are six great tips to keep in mind when thinking about creating a startup:
Startups are not intuitive. They are so rare that if you follow your instincts
you will make a lot of mistakes.
Trust your instincts to decide the people you will work with and the
relationships in a startup .
Work with people you respect and genuinely like.
A startup consumes your life. It's like having children. It's like pressing a
button that changes your life irrevocably.
Don't start a startup in college, it's impossible to do both at the same time.
20 is not the optimal age to start a startup , there are other things that
should be focused on such as side projects, trips without deadlines, etc.
Mark Zuckerberg never went on a trip to a foreign country without being able
to completely detach himself from his obligations.
Starting a startup is going to change you a lot. Who will you become if your
startup succeeds or fails?
If you are not sure about whether or not to start a startup, the only way to
find out is to try. Just not now (if you're a student).
6. Get ideas
9
There are two things to do during university if you want to start a startup :
look for an idea and look for partners.
Instead of struggling to come up with ideas consciously transform your mind
to unconsciously think about some problems.
How to do it?
The best ideas start as side projects since it's hard to imagine a business
at first.
Many designers who are not yet familiar with web development often have doubts
when uploading their sites to the Internet. The process, as you can imagine, does
not end with the design. Once the new site is ready, we must consider a series of
steps that are usually quite simple in order to have the website published on the
internet. Below, we mention these steps.
Step 1: Choose the web hosting where the new site will be located
You must select one from this Web Hosting Provider Guide , it is important to
consider that the development includes some type of web programming; If so, we
must make sure that the web hosting provider supports the type of programming
language and database we are using in its service. The web hosting provider must
have good technical support
Step 2.- Upload the website to the web hosting service we choose
Step 4.- Point the domain to the server where our website is located (through DNS
servers)

1. Subtle Animation in Watdesign >>
We normally don't encourage our users to use animations on their web pages, but
we must admit that Watdesign's concept achieved a sensational effect. The
animations are extremely refined and do not hinder the content. Applause for them!
2. Personalization Matters!
3. Creative Navigation
The navigation menu is one of the most important elements on your website and
as a main rule it should always be clear, intuitive and easy to use. But if you would
like to create a slightly more original alternative, the use of images on the Ma Torre
home page will be a fantastic source of inspiration.
Most likely the first thing you notice when entering this adorable blog is the
impressive header it has. The illustration of the deer powerfully monopolizes the
text, making the words written there stand out even more. The icons used here
complete this modern and engaging blog.
It is not easy to find Press or News pages that really stand out from the rest, that is
why when we found the Press section on Nick Fulton 's website we were delighted.
The screenshots of the articles work both as links to the full texts and as wonderful
elements to attract even more attention. Good for you Nick!
7. The Power of Humor: Hugo & Celine Ice Cream for Dogs
Why so serious? Some business and brand ideas are much more linked to comedy
than to a serious office tone. If your business is an ice cream brand for dogs, then
why not ask some puppies to write their opinion about your product? This is exactly
what you can find on the Hugo & Celine website. Quite cute!
11
Right on the home page, Hoponit puts its products on display as if they were in a
shop window on the street. Completely realistic! This form of presentation will allow
your users to imagine even better what the use of that product will be like in their
daily lives. What a smart and wonderful way to highlight the beauty of the products!
9. Let Your Design Go Hand in Hand with Your Service, like at Hairaid
Shelter
There is more than one efficient way to explain what you do and how you do it.
One of the many effective ways to do this is to create a website that reinforces
your marketing strategies. Take a look at the Hairaid Shelter website, for example.
This beauty salon uses vintage fonts and colors on its website since its services
are inspired by the same style line.
Sarya is a wonderful photographer. You could have designed a flashy website, with
tons of apps and features, but you chose to let your photos do all the work.
The undeniable focus of his website is on his photographic works, and the result is
impeccable.

14 Tips from a Former Wix User
Before you start working on your website, make sure you choose the template that
best suits the needs of your business. You can't change a template midway
through the editing process, so think carefully before deciding which template is
best for you.
The Wix blog is a great resource for anyone interested in having a top-level Wix
site. Follow the blog to see lots of web design talent, receive advice for your
ventures, as well as find out first about exciting Wix news.
3. Go mobile:
If your site does not have an updated mobile version you will be missing out on a
lot of visitors my friend. Be sure to optimize your site for mobile devices and add
the Mobile Action Bar, which will allow your visitors to navigate your mobile site
with the greatest of ease.
What is this image? It is the image that will appear every time you or anyone else
shares the link to your website on Facebook. A custom thumbnail image that looks
professional is more likely to get a lot of clicks.
Get the most out of the images you upload to your website by optimizing them with
the free Wix Image Editor. You can add effects, filters and manipulations that will
make your images look more professional and or more suitable for your web
design.
All past edits you have made to your website are saved in the Site History section
of your Wix account.
13
Don't forget to update your SEO information, both for your entire site and for each
page individually. Strong SEO will increase your search engine ranking, which will
lead to a direct increase in visitors.
If you are a power user working on multiple sites and designing Wix sites for
clients, this feature is extremely valuable for your work. It allows you to build a
complete website and then transfer it to the client's account for later updating and
review.
Online shoppers like to make well-informed decisions. You can help them decide
faster by uploading more than one photo of each product you sell in your online
store. Be sure to use images that show the product from different angles, as well
as photos that show the product in use.
Your site's domain name is as important as the brand name itself. Choose a name
that is easy to understand and best represents your website. Tip: Make sure you
choose a name that will stay relevant in the long term, not one that follows current
trends.
If you want to be taken seriously by your audience, you need to follow professional
standards and use high-quality images. If you really want to display a low
resolution photo, be sure to adjust the size so it doesn't look grainy or blurry.
Locking site elements such as images, icons, text boxes, etc. means that they
cannot be moved in the editor. After you've finished working on an item, be sure to
lock it in place. This will prevent it from accidentally moving around the screen
while you are working on another element in the editor.
14
your website, you will turn your previous clients into ambassadors who endorse
your brand.
It's unfortunate when a site owner invests so much time and effort into designing
their website, only to neglect the crucial aspect of readability. To start, you need to
choose a clear font and use a reasonable font size. Next, make sure the
background doesn't clash with the text boxes and make them unreadable.
