4 important steps before starting your online business

by Shakil

 

 

Find a hungry market – The first and foremost task before launching your online business:

This is the most important step to build an online business. No matter how awesome your products are, that is totally worthless if there is no one to buy that. Most of the new online entrepreneurs do that mistake by making the product first without doing proper market research. You need to find out what kind of product can bring profit for you. There is a famous quote by William bill of Wealth Design Group LLC -”Failure to do market research before you begin a business venture or during its operation is like driving a car from Texas to New York without a map or street signs”.  Either you can hire professionals to do market research for you or you can do that yourself. You can use search engine information like Google trends, online surveys, questionnaires etc to collect data and analyze to find a potential market.

Calculate the cost to promote your product online:

Marketing online is much more cheap and effective than marketing in traditional Medias like TV, radio, billboard etc. Since you are going to build an online business, your primary focus should be on marketing online. You can promote your business online via PPC, Social media marketing, Email marketing etc. It is a huge topic indeed. A simple tool to estimate marketing cost is Google adwords tool. You can see an estimated cost of showing your ads by that. Although this tool only shows cost for adsense ads, the cost is nearly same in all networks. The higher the cost, the more you have to spend on marketing.

Calculate the total cost of product creation :

Wages can vary greatly Depending on product types. Not every worker is equally salaried. If your product is a software, you must need several programmers to work on that. Either you can outsource from freelancer market places like oDesk, Elance or hire them locally. A programmer charges between $100 – $150 per hour. The total amount of hours can vary depending the complexity and size of the project. The same things happens to others type of projects as well.

Estimate the profit of first six months :

What will you do business for? The simple answer is profit. This is the main purpose of a business. Estimate your potential customers of first six months, how many sales could your business generate in first six month? Now calculate your total costs for market research, marketing, product creation and other things. If the first six month profit is more than the total cost, that is certainly a fantastic business idea to go with. If costs and profits are nearly same, still that is a good business idea because you counted profits of first six months only and your major investment is already done.
Pre launch researches are so important that it defines successful business ventures and failure business ventures.

e you in LOVE with a Psycho???? ....

Are you in LOVE with a Psycho???? .... EhT





By CHRISTABEL AKHATENJE (the Star)

There are nice women who behave well, act normal and, by all psychological standards, can be considered sane. On the other hand there are some crazy women who, by the same psychological standards can be considered imbalanced nut job. How can a man spot and avoid this nut job, otherwise known as a psycho?

She is extremely jealous
You cannot talk about other women around this woman. Other women in this case include your ex -girlfriend and do not exclude your sisters, your aunts, your grandmothers and your mother. Discussions or conversations about any female person in your life are strictly prohibited.

Her argument:
She is the only woman in your life. Your ex girlfriend is a figment of your past and should not be mentioned even in jest.

You are a grown man now and you do not need your mother’s bosom. Your sisters should find their own men, just as she did by finding you.

You cannot spend time with your female friends either because everyone is a threat to her and your relationship and by alienating them, you are doing well in proving that you love her, you respect her and most importantly, you are faithful to her. And, no she does not want to meet them and see that they are actually nice people who can be her friends as well.

She controls your life
You are her gadget and you will do as she tells you or what the programme in her head says you should do. She has an opinion about everything you taste, touch, smell, feel, hear and see.

She makes all the decisions and chooses all the things you buy and decides where you should or should not go. The creepiest thing is that she always knows where you are by simply calling and asking you where you are in a tone that will stop any treacherous demon from lying.

You may try to be a man and protest, granted, but she will threaten and intimidate you so much that your tail will go so far between your legs that no one including her will see it.

Her argument:
She owns you. She knows what is best for you. You are not very intelligent because after all, men are like big babies and they need direction and firm guidance.

Everything must be done her way and within her timelines otherwise she will take you on a long arduous guilt trip that will make you buckle and surrender, as you should.

She makes paranoid assumptions
This woman is not psychic, neither is she a charmed one, but she sees things. Big, bad and nasty things. She sees things that you cannot see like the hole in your jacket pocket which she is one hundred percent sure is the gateway to the seam where you hide the key to an apartment where you keep another woman.

This is despite the fact that your payslip cannot afford a Mpango wa Kando. If she does not find the key after ripping your jacket into pieces, she will demand to know why and where you are hiding the key.

She also sees things that you can see; only your eyes could be seeing a woman in a nice fitting suit while her eyes are zeroing in on a woman in a latex bikini, stilettos, red lipstick and a whip as accessories.

If you get home late, she sniffs your body, your briefcase and your car. If you do not answer her call, she calls her private investigator to track you down.

If your boss is a woman, she will make sure you lose that job. If your male friends are single, she will not let you go out with them because they will shower you with women of all wonderful sizes and shapes.

To counter that, she will call and send messages to your friends, warning them, insulting them and generally displaying stalker tendencies.

Her argument:
She has intuition. Her sixth and seventh senses are always right. She is not crazy when she comes to her very ‘valid’ conclusions; in fact, you are the loose cannon that needs to be tethered.

All your friends want you to break up with her and all the women in the world are madly in love with you and lust after you because you are the hottest man on earth.

She threatens to hurt her self or commit suicide
You know the story of the boy who cried wolf. This woman is the grown up female version of this boy. The only difference is that she cries ‘suicide’ so many times that the grim reaper does not even want her dead because she may cause him more trouble and work than he needs by dying over and over again.

She does have that powerful sixth sense as much as she uses it for dismal purposes. Her sixth sense will warn her that you want to leave her or that you do not really love her.

Her brain will tell her that the only way to keep you around is to tell you that she is going to kill herself. This message can be passed verbally or better yet through a note that will throw you into a panic only to find her later on the balcony caressing a fistful of birth control pills and a glass of vodka with mascara tears running down her cheeks.

Her argument:
Death is the ultimate threat.You are a wimp who will not want someone’s ghost on your trail, especially the ghost of someone who caused you so much misery.

This is Kenya and before the police, the guy who does the post-mortem and the courts figure out that it was a suicide you will have spent twenty five years in remand and she knows that you are fully aware of the inadequacies of the judicial system. She owns you body and soul till she dies and after she dies.

She gets physical in arguments
She will beat you up. At first she will slap you, and then slap you four times, add another ten slaps and cap them with heartfelt apologies.

You will assume that you deserved the slaps for forgetting to bring the garlic sauce that goes well with the Turkish pizza. The next time, she will throw the pizza at you and break a vase on your boots.

Occasionally she will scratch your face for changing television channels or for that deep-throated snore when she is trying to get into her bedtime reading.

Her argument:
Your mother did not discipline you well enough. You do not know how to treat a woman. She can beat you up because she is a woman and women are weak therefore, you as a man should be able to take her slight beatings without protest or retaliation. Beating people is the only way to earn their respect.

She stalks you
You are good prey and she cannot afford to lose your scent. For that reason ,she will follow you physically and technologically.

She will ask you where you eat, drink and the gym you go to. Once she has your schedule to a tee, she will disarrange her own schedule so that it allows her time to snoop into yours.

She will follow you by car and on foot, call you as she follows you just to confirm that you are really going where you are supposed to go as per your schedule.

She will send you those annoying, “Where are you?” text messages just as she walks into the bar where she expects you to be drinking.

She will hire a private investigator to follow you around and hack your phone while she is busy at work or in the salon. In other words, she has all her bases covered as far as your whereabouts and your company are concerned.

Her argument:
She is not stalking you, she is watching you. You are her poodle and she is your master. It is in her best interests to forget her own life and focus on yours because from the moment you started dating, the two of you became one inseparable mass of cells.

She emotionally unstable

One moment she is blue the next she is a red fiery ball. Sometimes she looks tame and cute and then when you bring a finger close to her lips, she bites it off.

Today you are the love of her life and tomorrow you are a toad with warts, bad breath and an insufferable attitude. She will laugh at you when you cut yourself and cry miserable tears when you win the lottery.

Today she behaves like a toddler, tomorrow she is a 40-year-old corporate guru and the day after tomorrow she is a teenager complete with bubblegum and a Barbie doll.

This week she is hard as rocks the next week she is the basket of eggs on your favourite chair. You want to sit on the chair but you dare not.

Her argument:
Unfortunately she has no argument for this, just a bag of emotions. She tries to see the sense or nonsense in her behaviour but she does not see it.

She needs constant attention
You have eyes only for her. You tell her all the nice things in the world despite yourself.You must hold her hand and kiss her in public.

You must cram all her favourite dishes on restaurant menus. You must tell her that she looks good in all her hideous hairdos.

She expects you to call her several times a day. If you do not do any of the above ,she will throw a mega tantrum, preferably in public; which tantrum will embarrass you to your early death so the best thing to do is give her the attention that she demands

Her argument:
She is perfect and you are a fool not to see that she is perfect. You are lucky to have her.

MUST READ for LADIES!!! 7 reasons you are BEAUTIFUL, but still SINGL





After every breakup, I spend time — copious amounts of time, too much goddamn time – pouring over every detail, trying to figure out what I did wrong this time. I call this “taking personal responsibility.” My best friend calls it “spiraling.” Leaving yoga class this weekend, my voice trembling and defeated, I declared about my recent breakup: “It’s my fault. I pick the wrong men.”

This is when my best friend started laughing at me. Hysterically. “You’re spiraling,” she said. “I’m only going to say this once: You did nothing wrong. He wasn’t right for you, and you both acknowledged that as soon as you knew it. You did everything right. So, I refuse to listen to you if you’re going to blame yourself. You need to stop.”

She was right. I was being ridiculous. It’s no wonder my first instinct is to blame myself. The culture of single blaming and shaming is pervasive. I think the world tends to forget: being coupled is not an achievement. Not being coupled is not a failure. Being in a relationship, getting married, shacking up, call it whatever you want, is a life choice, born of opportunity. It’s two people being in the right place at the right time and wanting the same things. It’s an opportunity that’s seized. While a solid relationship can make you grow as a person, the mere fact that you’re coupled does not make you a better person.

Earlier that morning, a married friend of mine sent me a link to Tracy McMillian’s articlesWhy You’re Not Married and the charming follow up Why You’re Still Not Married. “Have you seen these? What do you think?” she asked. “They seem offensive.”

I have indeed seen these article and I’ve thus far chosen to ignore them because that’s what I do when I strongly dislike something. I ignore it. It’s single shaming at its most shameful. Reading them again, I knew I couldn’t ignore them. It’s time to address this bullshit.

Amongst the reasons why McMillian thinks I’m not (and still not) hitched: I’m a bitch, I’m a slut, I’m selfish, I’m a liar, I have low-self-esteem, I’m crazy and I’m a mess. If you’ve ever seen an episode of “Hoarders” then you know that bitchy, selfish, “crazy” people with low self-esteem get married all the time. And as you also know if you’ve ever talked to a divorced person, being married doesn’t mean you’re happily married. That’s a whole other article that I’m nowhere near qualified to write. I’m going to leave the institution of marriage alone for the moment, because not all of us in the world want to or even are legally permitted to get married. So, for now, I’m going to stick to the topic of single shaming.

Let me say this, both for my own benefit, and for the benefit of anyone out there who is feeling an ounce of shame about being single: You didn’t do anything wrong. There’s nothing wrong with you. Take personal responsibility for your actions, find out what patterns you may be repeating, talk to your therapist about what may be holding you back, but don’t take so much personal responsibility that you lose perspective. Don’t internalize any wrongness about being single. Stop blaming yourself.

Let’s talk about why I’m REALLY single, in case Tracy McMillan or my friends or family were wondering. Believe it or not, there are non-blamey, non-shamey reasons. Let me unspiral myself from this “being in a relationship means you’re valid” clusterfuck. This needs to stop. Here’s why I’m really single without shame or blame or judgement:

1. I had a serious relationship before I was ready for one. I was in a serious relationship and living with someone from the ages of 22 to 26. It was a great relationship, but I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted yet in life. I could have married him. But in the deepest part of myself, I knew I had to figure shit out before I made a life-long commitment to someone else.

2. Instead of spending time figuring myself out, I got into another relationship. I jumped right into another relationship without taking the time to unpack why I felt I needed to leave the first one. When the second relationship ended nearly a year later, I had the task of getting over two serious relationships and finding myself. That took a while. A long while.

3. My career always has been more important to me. Where you put your energy, things will happen. I put a shit ton of energy into figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. I was an actress from the age of four until the age of 23. I dedicated my heart and soul to it. It was more important to me than anything else. At 23, I quit acting and had to find what to put my heart and soul into again. I had no identity, no idea what I was going to do with my life, but it was of the utmost importance for me to find my calling in order to be happy. I dedicated all of my energy from the age of 23 to 30 trying to get a handle on that and when I did …

4. I dedicated all my energy to building my chosen career. I started writing at the age of 30. That was four years ago. The last four years have been sheer will and ass kicking and hard work and learning what I needed to do to be successful at my new undertaking. So, it is true, dating was on the back burner. Even when I was dating people, I felt scared (and sometimes resentful) that they were taking me away from my time with my career. So, even when I was physically there, my heart wasn’t there. Or I picked people who were distant (unconsciously) because they posed no threat to my career.

5. I had my trust broken by a bad person. There was a bad person who I let in and he really violated my trust. This made me have to take a step back and be angry and heal and learn how to protect myself better. This was not something that I could do and be in a relationship at the same time because my heart was beaten to a bloody pulp.

6. I know what I’m looking for and I haven’t found it yet. All this time that I spent figuring out who I was, building a career, dating people and having it not work out, healing from having my trust broken, was a process. It was a necessary journey which I needed to go through in order to figure out what I wanted in a partner. Now, I feel like I have a really clear vision of that. But I’m not sure I would have had I not gone through all this crap. I haven’t met that person yet. I know when I do, I’ll know and I will seize that opportunity and hope that it works out.

7. I’m not in control. It doesn’t matter what your spiritual beliefs are. Maybe you’re religious, maybe you’re an atheist. I think all of us can agree that there are things that are out of our control. You can ask to be set up, put up a profile on OK Cupid, go to parties, walk down the street with an “I’m single and looking” glint in your eyes,” do a New Age love ritual, consult a psychic, work at being the best single person that you possibly can be, but none of these things will guarantee that you will meet a person with whom you want to have a long term relationship with. That’s just the truth. And I know it. Some things are out of my control. All I can do is accept that.
