Cameron Powell, Start-Up Entrepreneur and Coach

Coach Cameron

I’m Cameron Powell, and I’ve directly started up over half a dozen successful businesses, and helped others start up even more.  The Art of the Start is a unique art.  A true start-up is trying to do something new, perhaps something not done before, perhaps something just done better.  And there’s risk involved — the risk of your time and money (and maybe your family’s), at the very least, and possibly the risk of others’ too.

I save start-up entrepreneurs time, money, and fewer mistakes made.  My clients and I build start-ups on budgets, even with angel or venture capital.  I’ve helped clients like you to refine the business models, write the business and fund-raising plans, identify and navigate subtle legal issues, pitch VCs and angels, and raise millions of dollars in venture and angel capital (the two largest were SnapNames.com and EarthClassMail.com).  In the resulting companies I’ve served as senior executive in strategic business development, general counsel, and enterprise sales, among other areas.  I’ve cashed out of some, am still invested in others, watched one crash and burn in 2000, and have learned a great deal about and instructed others on how to pick which horse to bet on.

I help people identify and build real, viable businesses that happen to be based largely on the Internet (including social media coaching).

A few of the areas in which I’ve helped individuals and companies through Internet business coaching include:

• Refining and re-conceptualizing business models to make them compelling, scalable, and maximized in their chances for success
• Crafting and improving business plans, whether because you (or your family or partners) are the investors of time and money, or to seek outside funding
• Venture and angel capital fund-raising, including creating the right kind of specialized business plan
• Assisting founders in preparing and delivering effective, persuasive presentations and speeches
• Strategic planning – Move or get hit.  My father, a former Green Beret, still lives by that.  It’s good advice for business.  I’ll help you to figure out your high-level direction as it changes with changed circumstances.
• Marketing strategies (see our marketing coaches)
• Search engine optimization (SEO) – by far the most effective and cost-efficient form of online marketing and branding — and with me, it’s a specialty and level of expertise you’ll not find anywhere else.  I’ve run the search engine strategies of many successful businesses.
• Pay-per-click (PPC) search engine advertising — I’ll tell you how to make sure you’re not wasting your PPC dollars — learned from hard experience.
• Exit strategies — do you want to sell your business someday? If you don’t, you don’t have a business so much as a job; if you do, then do you have a strategy for getting out profitably? I can help.
• Working with executives thinking of leaving their companies and launching their own businesses
• eBooks! Get paid to be yourself.  Odds are, you know something of value.  Hard-copy publishers may not see the business model or be willing to take the risk.  Go around them!
