Dear SaaStr: My startup is nearing the end of its runway – and I found out my CEO has been taking money from the company. What should I do? Unfortunately, this is a little more common than you think.

However, in reality, businesses relying on SEO are supported by multiple channels. Often, PPC and SEO are treated separately, which reduces efficiency and leads to missed opportunities.

Last weekend my wife asked me to fix something wrong with the plumbing. Between you and me, probably not the best idea. I can manage a wrench… a little bit, but before you know it, I had water spraying everywhere, and I was Googling "how to undo." It’s safe to say, by the end, we’d called a professional and were dealing with way more costs (and frustration) than if we’d just done that in the first place.
