Have you ever 10x growth through word of mouth?

I run a design and dev agency called Markham Square and the greatest growth engine we have at the moment is word-of-mouth referrals. Has anyone had success in expanding their word-of-mouth network among existing customers? I'm trying to think of incentive structures without diluting relations but mostly curious if there's an established structure I'm not aware of.

What are your go to royalty free stock footage options?

I know Unsplash is the GOAT but recently been trying to find some stock images for the sport of Lacrosse and found Unsplash lacking in this department. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for alternative free image sourcing?

What % of your budget should you allocate to your engineering team?

The cost of engineering has been on my mind lately, and I was wondering if anyone had any resources on what percent of a software company's budget should be spent on engineering? Viewing this from the lens of a new organization/someone looking to launch a minimal viable or beta product.

When is it best to use no-code tools for MVPs?

How do people decide whether to use no-code or coded solutions? As an engineer, I tend to prefer coding solutions, but with the continued growth of no-code tools, I am trying to define when development using no-code is advantageous. Is anyone already doing this? What do you think is the biggest factor in using one over the other?

How do you share resources with people?

I've recently had a few clients and friends ask me how do I become more technically savvy? I have a saved google doc with links in them and I would just share the whole thing but for most all the content isn't relevant. Are there any tools out there that make the bundling of specific links easier?
