My startup idea fell recently died so I'm back to the drawing board. I'm a 3D animator and motion graphics designer by trade and was wondering if any of you guys would be interested in having someone help you out by having a professional edit your demo videos and make slick looking title animations for them.<p>If you would be interested, what would you else expect from such a service?<p>For instance; * Price? * Turnaround time? * Audio and voice over services?(I don't do this so if there's interest I'd need to figure this one out) * What else would help you video and animation wise? *Youtube ads?

I'm in the process of teaching myself how to be an expert in marketing and lead generation. I do this, I must confess, because I tried to learn coding, was pretty mediocre and wisely chose to focus on the other, more interesting side of start ups and business ventures. Anyhow I digress.

I asked on some Adwords forums and I can't seem to find a definite answer to this. Would I be banned by setting up a site which offers basic lead gen pages to businesses and then promoting those pages via adwords?

Some people say it should be fine as long as it's op-out but others say it's too much like the affiliate marketing Google likes to ban.

So how do I test this without permanently losing the ability to use the awesome traffic builder that is Adwords?

I've stumbled upon his stuff and really enjoyed his David D stuff. So what do you guys think of his marketing info?

I have a startup I'm working on(yes, sole founder, yes I know it's going to be tough) which I estimate would be ready for alpha users in about 4 months time.

I have a email register for those interested on the site at the moment. Should I focus on marking only when I have an actual working product?

Also, what would be the best methods to market my product when it's ready?
