BusinessThe Ugly Truth About Online Businesses… For Starters by Xamie271(op): 2:09pm On May 10, 2019
It's 2019. Everyone wants to start an online business.

Because why not?

It's location free - you can work from anywhere in the world.

It has minimum barrier of entry - you don't need a certificate to begin an online business.

It's nondiscriminatory - any one of any background, social status or ethnicity can begin an online business.

It requires little or no capital - all you need is an internet-enabled device (smartphone or computer) and internet access.

That's why there's a massive explosion of software development and finessing of business models.

For those who want to start an online business, it can be overwhelming not knowing where to start and what to do.

There are "1000 Way to Make Money Online". I'd focus on just two.

1. One service based online business: Digital Marketing.
2. One product based online business: Ecommerce.

Digital marketing (I'm not defining this for you) sometimes requires no capital.

I see some young people doing it the wrong (or long) way. I hope you're not one of them.

By long I mean, they go to YouTube and watch a couple of digital marketing videos, attend Google's digital garage and eventually get their certificate.

Now what?
.
.
.
.
As a business owner, would you hire someone to do "digital marketing" for you?

Or

Would you hire someone to run Facebook Ads for your company/products/services?

You'd chose the second option right?

You see, digital marketing is a huge blob. It's not tangible. It can't be grasped.

It's a bunch of many things {SEO, Google PPC Ads, Email Marketing, Google Business, Facebook Ads, Social Media Management, Content Creation and so on}.

Most people prefer to learn the blob. They try to grasp the cloud instead of zeroing down on one skill. That's a HUGE mistake.

Eventually, they fail to make money selling "digital marketing" as their skill. Because it's not a skill.

Onwards.

Ecommerce. Ahah!!!

Where the mad bars are made.

Do it right, you'll be counting money every day. One single flop, you'll run into serious debt.

There are one or three mistakes I see people make with ecommerce.

1. Making it a business of products: How dare you? Are you aware that it's humans who will but these products.
You skip them and import your products. Boom! Nobody buys it. Then you begin to wonder if ecommerce is a scam.

Ecommerce is a business of people.


2. Lack of Salesmanship: You could have the most valuable products. Fail to convey the benefits of that product to the emotions of your prospective buyer, you lose that sale.

The reason people part with their money is because they are buying results. Not products. They are making an emotional decision by parting with their money.

Being able to sell to that emotion that need fulfilled - be it to look sexy, to be confident, to appear successful, to be more manly, etc. All of these emotions are derived from products they buy. The same products you sell.

To get ahead, skip the fluffy talk and sell that which the customer is seeking to buy.

3. Chasing after new customers: You'll probably raise an eyebrow on this one. Is it easier to sell to a new person or to someone who has purchased from you before?

Getting new customers is good. Selling to your current customers repeatedly is awesome!!!

What better way is there to getting new customers than having your best customers talk about your wonderful products to their friends and family?

4. Neglecting Customer Service: Really, did you even think of that?

We play with customer service too much in this country. The businesses who don't make the most money.

A customer called a friend of mine and was shouting that it's been 10 days and she has not received her order.

The guy calmed her down and out-rightly said he'd fire his current logistics company for continuously messing up his deliveries.

He apologized and offered the lady a 10% discount on the next purchase. She bought another product from him right there and he made two sales from an angry customer! Can you beat that?

I could keep going on and on. Instead I'd have you read THE EMOTIONAL TOOLKIT FOR SALES.

BusinessWhy You'll Never Make Any Money With Mini-importation by Xamie271(op): 1:59pm On May 07, 2019
That's the online business model driving people nuts.

Mini-importation.

Some guru tells you that all you just have to do find winning products on Aliexpress or Alibaba, import it and sell at 10x profits margins.

You do everything exactly as you were taught. You find the 'hottest' products. You display these products on your WhatsApp status and your Facebook timeline.

Day 1, nothing!

Day 2, a few enquiries, then nothing!

Day 3, one sale at 15% profit margin.

You're frustrated. Have you been lied to? huh

Maybe there's something these gurus aren't saying undecided

How come they make so much money (300%+ profit margin) yet you are struggling to make just one sale.

You've lost so much money already. You're running into debts with products you can't use.

You just want to cash out, maybe you'll salvage what's left of your capital embarassed

I'll tell you what…

The reason why you've not and will not make any money in mini importation is because you do not know how to sell.

Simple!

You think products can talk?

Displaying raw images of what you sell won't make people magically dash you their money.

One particular ingredient that is missing is marketing.

You could have the most valuable product yet won't make a dime, because you haven't sold this product the right way.

How then do you sell effectively?

I hate to break it to you but the fault is from the model itself - mini importation.

The normal mini-importation route you're probably practicing is (1) You scout for "winning" products, (2) you import (3) advertise (4) sell @ HUGE profit margins.

There's a flaw in this model; being that you paid no attention to the people you’re going to sell these product to.

You put them in the equation last and as a result, you end up not making money because:

1. You're selling to wrong market (people).

2. You're not speaking the language of the market.

3. You fail to understand the primary need of the market.

4. You fail to solve the need of the market.

How do you then sell to the right market, with a proper understanding of their needs, while speaking their language so that in buying your products they will have their needs solved?

You tap into the root cause of their problem.

Q. Why will someone buy a body spray?
A. Because it’s deodorant.

Q. Why will they need a deodorant?
A. Because of body odor/ against perspiration/ to feel fresh.

Q. Why do they need to feel that way?
B. To feel more comfortable/ to boost their confidence/ to be more attractive to the opposite sex/ to be perceived as being of high standards.

There. That's what you use in selling that man a body spray.

You see, people aren't interested in just buying products. No.

They are buying the end result of that product. The feeling they derive from the end results actually.

That’s what you should sell to them.

CrimeRe: Man Who Tattooed His Wife's Face On His Back, Strangles Her To Death (Photos) by Xamie271(m): 1:03pm On Dec 28, 2017
BloggersNG:
Remember the Black American Man Barry Wells who went viral After he shared photos of his back tattooed with his wife's face on it to celebrate their 5th Anniversary, read that one here.. Well he just strangled her to death..

29-year-old Barry Wells has been arrested in connection to the death of his 22-year-old wife. According to The New York Post, an 8months pregnant Tonie was found at the bottom of her basement staircase in Brooklyn with bruising to her neck yesterday (Dec. 27).

Neighbors reportedly alerted police after hearing the cries of her two-year-old daughter.

Witnesses on the scene allegedly heard an argument and something falling down the stairs, The Post reports.

While the exact charges filed against Wells have yet to be revealed, and details on an official cause of death is pending, new reports of negligence on behalf of the NYPD has emerged.

Sources close to the NYPD revealed that officers were “responding to a wellness check” at the couple’s home but failed to get out of their patrol car in a statement to The Post.

Investigators are treating the death as a possible homicide, Deputy Chief Michael Kemper, Commanding Officer of Detective Borough Brooklyn North told reporters.

I work in a Company with less than 10 staff somewhere in Abuja. Just recently, a young lady was employed to do her industrial training.

When she started, she was full of her self and does not associate with anyone in the office. While some staff (male and female) tried to relate with her, I kept her at arm's length and related with her only on official matters.

A month later, I was assigned to train her in my department to enable her get some experience before the duration of her Industrial training elapses. I accepted but decided to be strictly professional. Along the line, I observed that she does not pay full attention anytime we are together for the training. I tried as much as I could to be receptive but she still pay less attention. She would not even come herself for the training except I either send for her or call her through the intercom. Then I decided I will teach her anything only when she willingly submit herself. She never did and I maintained my stand and stopped teaching her.

Fast forward to a month before her stay with us elapses she became unusually nice and loyal and could do anything even before I give full details.

I was surprised but maintained my peace. One day, I asked her why she suddenly changed her attitude towards me she just smiled and left. Everyone in the office noticed her change of attitude and was surprised.

She started being even Romantic and extremely nice to me to the extent that I became uncomfortable. Just the other day, she told me in plain words that she can do anything for me and I asked her why and she said nothing.

She is not the type of girl I can date but she can be just a bed warmer.

What do you think?
I think you are seeking approval. You'll draw attention.. have people comment & advise you.. and you'll still do what you want to do. IT student is your issue :/ huh Bed warmer. Kedu maka head warmer? and even brain warmer??
