olas2u: 2million will not do the magic,try and grow the money or you lose it.You live in Nigeria right?contract is under the table not on top

Good advice

Seun: Your really think catching up with Facebook is that simple? Companies do fail, especially when they invest in impossible dreams.

Seun,

Nothing is impossible! Before facebook, there were others. if Mark had just sat there, telling himself that beating others was impossible, he wouldn't have founded facebook. You are a good programmer just like Mark; you have a good followership, maybe not as much as facebook, but good enough. If you need funds, you can get investors. Pls don't be stuck with that Nigerian mentality of preferring to go it it all alone so that it can be referred to as "My own". When you look at problems with the intention of going at them alone, then most will surely appear impossible.

just my 2 cents.

Remember Einstein's words, the way we look at the problem is the problem.

zrazunet: I appreciate your support. But you must understand that there is nothing as annoying as interuptive marketing. It is not good impression for us by seeing that you are using this thread as a means to promote your event.

You can contact us for event promotion and we would have been very Glad to help. and this is neither an effective way of Networking nor promotion. I advice you to adjust your approach

Surprising this is coming from you. What do you call your posts? You started this thread to promote your company, obviously, but when another person also throws in his 2 cents, you take offence and call it interuptive marketing. This is not and can never be a way of "eliminating competition" - yes, I saw from your profile that your dream is to eliminate competition.

All the pieces of advice you offered are generic; did you consider the Nigerian environment? If you have not recognised the fact that the way business is done in Nigeria is different, then pls stop advertising your company.

A small company starts a business to compete with the big players and you tell him he should beef up marketing, get brochures and beautiful girls?? Chief, come on! the big players can do the same thing 100 times over! Now, if there weren't big players in his sector already, that advice would hve worked. You can't start a social networking site and hope to beat facebook by doing the same thing as they are and targeting the same market/people as they.

He does frames for companies and government offices; how many government offices give out contracts to anybody just because they have wonderful brochures? politicians give jobs to fellow politicians, and these politicians outsource the contracts to their cronies who actually own companies (the big players)that can execute the jobs. The big players obviously charge more, but to the politicians, it is okay because they know it is tit-for-tat.

Or is it the bank CEO? He has cronies that also do these things.

My best advice to jdowu84 is to try and look at the market the big players are ignoring and start building up from there. All the advice you and benz33 have rendered will really come in handy there. Once he has that market, he'll become a force to reckon with and will be better positioned to take on the big players.

Btw, loving what you do does not guarrantee success. The advantage of loving what you do is that you continue to persevere even in the midst of adversity. If you love what you do but that passion easily wanes when you are not getting expected results, chances are that your business may fail because studies have shown that most businesses take longer than planned to break even. So to me, perseverance is key! And do not assume you know it all because you own or work for some fancy company!!

No offence meant.

Do people still make money from the stock market?

Most times, you just need some "alone" time to come up with very wonderful ideas. But also note that wonderful ideas do not automatically equal business success. Your hard work, perseverance and dedication will, in the end, be rewarded. If your passion for the particular idea you want to pursue is high, chances strongly favour you to succedd. Think about it! www.2naira.com

Hello Woodland,

I'm interested in setting up one of these plants. Kindly you send me your email address to grass2megagrace@yahoo.com so we can discuss further.

thank you.

@ PROJECT

I'm interested in this too. Could you post a typical range of the costs? I believe many nairalanders will also benefit from this information. It will not push business away from you - may rather bring it.

Thank you.
