Did ABCD In-Campus Campaigns Hit The Right Market?

Did ABCD In-Campus Campaigns Hit The Right Market?

How did we run the ABCD campaign?

Aditya Birla Capital Digital Campaign

Here at GenZdealZ ai we had signed up for the downloads and the total engagement the app will get in the given period

Here ABCD campaign was started with the psychology:
– To remove the existing UPI players and gain a good mindshare of students as a Indian based all-in-one UPI
– To understand what India’s GenZ manage finance and curate the future products accidentally
– To know the consumption pattern and check whether any UPI player will survive in this competitive space.

 

The engagement was defined as app download, UPI registration and transaction of minimum 150
Here the target audience: students
Region pan-India focus and any offline space GenZ would interact at

Main challenges we faced:
– real-time transaction tracking
– contract with multiple partnerships
– non-responsive students and integration issues

 Aditya Birla Capital Digital Campaign

Why does the target achievement take more than 4 months to achieve?

A) ABCD is a trusted brand and having that kinda all in one UPI app helps the students in their personal finance too:
– credit tracking
– fund tracking
– insurance diversity
– financial literacy education
– more sections yet to add
So while promoting the app students had the awareness for the brand and was willing to engage

B) As told above students were keen to engage, however when it comes to banking activities many feels it’s a scam and refrain from following the lengthy process of registration and receiving the cashback

C) Students exam and offline mobilization. For quick mobilization we had chosen the following areas:
– Campus canteen to paste the QR and have a volunteer to push students pay via QR after download ABCD app
– College fest was another destination to allocate a point based system which was installed by one Mumbai University campus where commissions wer given as per their activities

 

What move did ABCD make in the November end?

ABCD announced that the downloads via the partner will stop for a month and partners won’t see the affiliate dashboard, this was done for the following reasons:
– To see the activities and retention time of students without any external push
– To see the students behaviour and on which brands or vertical they use the most
– To analyse the pattern in the transaction frequency and for which students willing to spend the most

 

Does Sankalp Bharat 2024 Best Place To Promote Your Startup?

Does Sankalp Bharat 2024 Best Place To Promote Your Startup?

Why am I reviewing this event?

I’m working as a Community Coordinator at GenZDealZ.ai (side projects still going on:)) and reviewing such types of expos & events helps marketers to analyse which destination is right as per thier product & audience. So talking about Sankalp Bharat 2024…

AKshay Shah - GenZDealZ.ai (Sankalp Bharat 2024)

During the recent event of Sankalp Bharat 2024, Varanasi..Akshay Shah (Founder & CEO – GenZDealZ.ai) represented on behalf of GenZDealZ.ai team.

Standees designed by me (had used for the past Govt. event too):

GenZDealZ.ai stall at Sankalp Bharat 2024

In aspect of GenZdealZ.ai here our audience was GenZ (college students, PHD scholars and other nearby school students who wants to see new innovation happening around India)

Overall Footfall: 500+

Students visited at our stall: 100+

Number of downloads: 20+ (via word of mouth & social media locally)

Brand Partnerships: 3

GenZs are quick in decision – if something doesn’t interest them at 1st time they wont’ consider it again.

Why GenZDealZ.ai Choose Sankalp Bharat To Promote Our App & Offerings?

  • Sponsored by UP Govt. in which there was a pitch of 45 mins and a short talk to be delivered on Deep Tech by Akshay sir (gaining more reach & funding in the market)
  • Interaction with North India students. Though we know some behaviour of north India GenZ crowd, having a fresh interaction would help us know their preferences in 2024 and what they expect us to bring in the application
  • Onboarding more brands that are catering to students. There’re always new or upcoming brands who needs some push from a market leader to get introduce in the market and engage with the crowd. GenZDealZ.ai has a good 1 million students reach PAN India. This would help any new brand to list and give the offline + online boost from our end

 

Appointment With Principal/Dean:

Banaras Hindu University was near to the venue and most students from the university visited the stall and shared reels with their feedback.

Few of them were keen to help us meet with their Principal to execute the offline campaigns we’re running via thier university. So we took their contacts for future meeting

Here it was difficult to predict how the traction of students who will be visiting the stall and engaging with us. In such cases, atleast have 1 buffer day if you’re unsure of the crowd to market, if the target market brings what you want then spending an extra day is worth it.

Cons of Govt. Organised Summits:

  • They won’t give you the complete information (standee size, space, posters, etc.) before the event. Most of thier team is waiting for the last day to clear the candidate’s queries
  • They’ll misspell your company’s name and domain that would result in wrong brand recall by the brand and irrelevant web address
  • No volunteers to assist you. Though, the brochure might contain 1 volunteer at each stall, they don’t mention for how much time and what is the backup if you don’t get one.

Overall, Sankalp Bharat gave us good brands, students’s connect & feedback in 2 days of the visit.

If have any questions, please put them below.

Plus, collab with a few brands helped us to diversify our offerings to GenZ

There’re many opportunities for offline promotion I got & still getting at GenZDealZ[dot]ai. I’ll list here few of them and what were my learnings here you can understand.

1st Booth at World Trade Centre (Mumbai)

Pillai College at GenZDealZ.ai

World Trade Centre - fintech Event 2024

This was backed by Maharashtra Innovation Society – GenZDealZ[dot]ai has participated in Maharashtra Startup Funding program and thus this opportunity was offered to them.

This was a 4 day event (inauguration was to be done by Maharashtra Chief Minister – but it didn’t happen). It was a fintech event where all the PAN India fintech startups were invited to showcase thier products & services.

Stall size: 5 feet long & 4 feet wide

Here the majority were students (mostly from my college :)) many of them came for preparing a field visit report.

Therefore the TG was perfect and day 1 & 2 were the prime days for promotion (initial hype).

(Smit Lakhani Full Stack Developer speaking to one student & I standing in the middle)

On Day 4 too we utilised the opportunity as many startups left. Our team shifted the duties in different time period.

Problems we faced:

a) Low internet connection (took much time to download & browse the website)

b) Less space for the booth (hardly 3 people could adequately stand in the booth so one of them need to stand outside of the booth for attracting the crowd)

c) Unavailability of monitor (our own laptops need to be used with a autoloop video)

Metrics We Met:

a) Total 40 downloads and medium engagement level

b) Thousands of impressions

c) Got 12 – 15 internship inquiries to work as student influencer for our campaigns and few interested in full time roles.

2nd Booth at MIT WPU Startup Event

MIT WPU GenZDealZ.ai stall

This was an outreach event were the last year was highly successful and received a lot of engagement. MIT WPU student representative showed us highly lucrative numbers  but those sounded too much hyped.

Investment: ₹5,000 for 4 days
You can go through their different plans here:

Target: 1000 downloads

Campus Strength: 10,000 student across MIT WPU departments

Visits at the event: 2000+

Here we saw a diverse crowd from non technical to highly technicals who understands deep tech & machine learning.

Problems we faced:

a) No support of volunteers

B) Destination too far from our main office (so a lot of trouble in setting up standees)

c) Not much effective lights to show the products well.

D) In effective coordination between volunteers (won’t provide you resources on time)

e) No internet connection at all

Metrics We Met:

A) 50+ downloads and medium engagement level

b) 1000+ stall visits

c) 10+ internship inquiries to join as student influencer

It totally depends on your startup nature and what type of audience you’re targeting. B2B audience can work for large & medium size expos. For B2C, you need some targeted audience who’ll be visiting the exhibition.

Is Industrial Visit For 2nd Year BBA Digital Marketing Students Worth?

Is Industrial Visit For 2nd Year BBA Digital Marketing Students Worth?

In this article, you’ll know whether the investment of ₹5,800 will be worth it or not.

Before reading the article, our school had conducted 2 educational trips (1st in Aurangabad & 2nd in Silvassa) and both of them were well managed with enough sports activities and visits to Indian culture & industries.

I believe our college can further enhance its educational tour program by refining the selection process for tour managers (better you read this article before investing ₹5,800 into any educational trip conducted by Pillai College, New Panvel)

Industrial visit were supposed to go to Manali or Rajasthan (all the places out of Maharashtra) however due to student’s behaviour it was shifted to something else.

Our trip got converted from Silvassa to Mahabaleshwar (Mapro Garden) – the place where there are least industries

Wanderland Holidays negative review

This was not the educational trip at all & Wanderworld deserves the rating.

Let’s start with Day 1: Onboarding Into The Bus (from PCACS)

If you’re a highly workaholic person, you better take a laptop & other resources with you. This would help you achieve your daily work/project completion target and learn at the same time.

Almost the entire traveling time I was working and it helped me manage my work well.

The bus reached at the resort around 14:30 and after lunch we used the swimming pool of 5 feet for few hours, then I sat for my internship work.

The whole 1st day got nothing constructive – games, dance & songs were arranged. The rooms were divided into 4 students.

Again the next day nothing constructive was showed to us..

  1. Mapro Garden with their chocolate stores & strawberry farm (there was no guide to understand what all those things were about)
  2. Unnecessary time allocation in go-carting for a 15 mins ride
  3. After lunch again we swim for a few minutes and went boating in the evening, had a few snacks and visited Mahabaleshwar market (with almost the same products you could get in any local market)

I kept doing my work on my laptop till late night on Day 2 (a short concert & games were arranged as being the 2nd night to stay)

On Day 3, time to come back home via Katraj Dairy Pune and visit to a general table point.

A short explanation of the base dept., short film about the establishment and a quick tour of where the different dairy products were made (the dairy staff could have explained everything in much detail – management, production processes, etc.)

Even after mentioning to the driver to stop at Karjat Road, he took a different route. Thus I stayed at Kalamboli (at my Mama’s house) and left for office the next day.

Why Attending ‘Awaken The Passionpreneur Within’ Event Worth The Investment?

Why Attending ‘Awaken The Passionpreneur Within’ Event Worth The Investment?

How much worth the Awaken The Passionpreneur Within Mumbai, 2024 Connect Was?

The 1st time I hear about this event, I was curious to know what will happen and will this be the same as other networking events (PP Meetup or PP Connect 2022 & 2023) of Passionpreneur?

But this is totally different (you can say it is networking with ‘yourself’)

The seminar was divided into 2 days and this was the first spiritual healing event I attended of Dev Gadhvi Sir.

First day was filled with most healing with 4 spiritual guides and removing the past traumas with different exercises.

I thought I’ll meet fellow PP members & meet them again, however, in this event you will see many new faces to exchange the energetic vibes and continue to grow together.

awakenthepassionpreneurwithin awakenthepassionpreneurwithin awaken the passionpreneur within awaken the passionpreneur within

Dev Gadhvi sir had a surprising look with a non business suite. You’ll see a lot of change in him after you see him in person.

In this event the focus is not mainly on ‘Business Networking’ but instead healing yourself by knowing which of your 7 chakras are open and which are close.

 

Upgrading To VIP:

If you want to upgrade to VIP, just because to get food and network with other members just buy a food coupon to be in the environment by paying ₹500 extra in the lunch break.

But if you don’t want to be in the VIP because you’ve already taken many programs of Dev sir and has enough material pending to implement, that’s completely fine. Food coupon of ₹500 will save you 🙂

 

Selling Part:

There’s always something to offer for continuous improvements of PP members. However, this time the offer was mainly for non PP members (family & friends of PP members who’re open to open with the registered ticket). Your freinds/ family will likely enroll into PP 4 Month Mentorship to transform themselves holistically.

After investing ₹1,18,000 into Hight Ticket Entrepreneur Mastermind in 2022, I’ve attended various events of Passionpreneur (PP Connect 2022, Mumbai Meetup, APW 2024). All of them are worth the investment (you’ll have endless returns from the community & the business lessons if you implement thoroughly).

 

Here’re some glimpses of the Passionpreneur Programs I’ve been part of:

I didn’t attend the 2nd day of this APW Connect because of clients pending work as I get only 1 holiday to complete backlogs 🙂

I thought to implement all the learnings of day 1 and see the amazing results.

If have any doubts about APW Connect 2024, put them below I’ll answer them all.

5th Semester Review (writing on 30th September 2025)

Firstly, the subjects in 5th Sem are Web Analytics & Data Science, Consumer Behaviour, Marketing Automation, Media Buying & Planning.

The third year brings a completely different perspective to college life. You are no longer a junior or just another student navigating the campus—you start feeling more responsible, mature, and deeply connected with the college community. By this stage, you often find yourself not just attending lectures but also actively contributing to organizing seminars, supporting events, coordinating with faculty, and guiding juniors.

This transition makes you realize how much you’ve grown since the first year.

One of the biggest lessons from the third year is leadership. Whether it’s handling event responsibilities, setting an example for juniors, or learning how to work as a team, you build qualities that stay with you far beyond academics. The journey also teaches you that your best coordinators, mentors, and even the closest friends will not always be around—so you become strong leader. Many friendships formed in these years truly become bonds for life. In fact, for me personally, college was life-changing because I even met my life partner here—an indirect yet beautiful outcome of this journey.

From an academic standpoint, the experience of internships and projects in the earlier years pays off. By now, you have the confidence to balance studies, company internships, and personal commitments more efficiently. You begin to realize that practical exposure and networking matter just as much as classroom learning. The advantage of third year is the freedom and resources you gain from experience—you know how to get things done.

Another insight I gained was about recognition and self-awareness. This is the phase where you clearly understand who your true friends are, who supports you in tough times, and how to solve problems independently. Building a strong image with faculty, peers, and juniors makes a huge difference—it ensures that whenever you need guidance or support, someone has your back.

On the practical challenges side, one recurring issue is attendance. For many students who work full-time or manage their own businesses alongside college, attendance rules are as per the college mood. Even if you’re working as a full time, you won’t get 50% attendance concession. Attendance concession only for interns & for those who’re having their own business.

I got rejected in internship concession as I was no more an intern.

However Ms. Suparna Deepak (highly supportive) guided me to register for Udhyam Registration and she’ll approve irrespective of LLP registered or not.

However I missed the submission deadline & need to sit for round 2 for 5th Sem. For Udhyam registration, the principal declined and told to come in next semester to get attendance concession.

Before your 5th semester, vivas & projects will happen, those are very simple to appear. Do good revision & concept understanding of technical subjects like GA4 to have high scoring.

Remaining SY BBA Digital Marketing Review (writing on 11th April 2025):

Hope you’ve got some idea & clarity of how it looks to be a BBA DM student in the campus (when you’re the only batch in the entire campus)

Here I’ll give you a brief about some crucial things about Pillai College

Why you can see such emotional posts about Pillai’s Alumni who’re passing from the college and who’re wining in each & every area of life

Pillai’s marketing team is very smart in pursuing you with emotional stories of students form their first year to the 3rd year. Students are on the IG constant checking 3 main IG pages with the main page constantly being active

Continuing where I left off..

In 2025, Pillai college have changed their policy from BBA DM to only BBA and is offering Digital Marketing as a specialisation from the 2nd year to the studetns (you can find the official notice by contacting the admission council)

Pillai College notice for BBA DM students

  • I can clearly say, our BBA DM batch is the luckiest one, there’re a few reasons behind it:
    Our program coordinator was Mrs. Priya Ghaloth Mam (super cooperative & would understand you as your 2nd mother). No one in the campus would match the frequency of Priya mam interms of counselling students on any topic (relationship, exam, etc.). Especially I got a lot of constructive learning from her counselling and now she left the campus due to her marriage & relocation to Pune (you may find few pics at Priya mam’s marriage here)
  • We got the exposure of core digital marketing subjects from the 1st year itself and being the only batch our feedback was quickly implemented by IIDE
  • We got the interaction with a lot of digital marketing professors from the early academic year so the number of projects we would have got from these professors were qualitative and many times internal hiring takes place (even before the intenrship fair starts)

 

Additional Tip In Vacation:

  • Innovate something everyday as you’re a DM student and AI is in your hands to build crazy things. So whichever problem you identify , just note your ideas and make it into a tangible form with fast execution (below is the first prototype of our laptop stand that’ll be used for regular commuters to have a productive journey)

1st prototype of a laptop stand for daily commuters

  • Build a good skill base with real intelligence that’ll overpower infinite intelligence (AI) it means try working on your business ideas that AI can’t solve or notice easily.

 

Go Getter Tip To Proceed To 3rd Year:

  • Be highly proactive in noticing & working on anything that goes around you (be a little updated with news)
  • Seek mentorship wherever needed as experience always accelerates your progress.

See the below email from Fiverr CEO and why it is necessary to become so good at digital marketing in whichever subfield you’re working:

Fiverr CEO to employees

  • Here’re some free resources from my side you can use anytime
  • Plus, don’t rely on faculties lecture , just utilise their experience and get quick feedback to grow fast.
  • You don’t need to attend every seminar workshop webinar that college throws to you, action is the most powerful word now and measure each second as $1B as each task you’re doing should contribute to the over & above of AI so you could secure your career ASAP

Before reading my 3rd sem review, you can scroll below and read my FY & initial SY review
Continuing my review for the 3rd semester – SYBBA DM (writing on 25th December 2024 , merry Christmas to you)
a) Raise complaint wherever needed: I raised a complaint against the college on GoogleMyBusiness by posting a negative review. Lectures were being cancelled in the middle of the day or even before the day starts.
I understand it may happen few times (but happening more than twice a week – fluctuates the whole schedule of a student)
In cases when the student is involved in internships & projects – timelines are need to met.
After raising a complaint, Vice Principal addressed it and implement the solution by rearranging the lectures and ensured that there is minimum cancellation (thank you Deepika mam :))
 
 
b) Be very street smart & take part in various initiatives: Street smart means you don’t get fooled by anyone in the college. Stalls, & events happens regularly and you don’t have to attend each event (the committee may influence you through skill credits/certificates/attendance marking). Only attend the genuine ones – I had attended a 1 day workshop of Entrepreneurship (by Deshpande Startups)
 
College offers various competitions to take part in (Alegria – intercollege). Competitions will build you competitive spirit and when you be in the game – you understand the players that pushes you to perform your best.
Showing up is more important than winning.
 
c) Market yourself well: Take part in whichever initiatives offered in your domain. It can be pitching business plan competition, doing something extra for the college (making incampus map, starting a startup via incubation, organizing media agency visit, etc.)
You’ll understand its benefits later when you’re in the 3rd year.
 
 
d) IIDE’s placement assistance: IIDE will make sure you’re properly placed and working in a growing co./agency. They’ll do the maximum followup from their side and you as a student need to revert them for grabbing good opportunities.
 
e) Subjects will be less in 4th Semester: More stress towards application than learning. You’ll have 3 subjects papers (Video advertising, brand management, reputation management) and assignments for subjects like Financial planning, Emotional Intelligence, Influencer & Email marketing).
 
You’ll have more time for your personal projects & regular internships adn thats’ the best part of 2nd year.
 
 
f) Finding your intelligent life partner: Though there’s no one perfect life partner, we say because she is very close to being a kind & intelligent girl. Until 2nd year you’ll get to know who’ll be the right fit for your future.
I studied her from various angles and when I told my mother about this, my mother was happy to know that I was transparent & had clear conversation.
Parents will give you the right suggestion in marriage area.
I’ll reveal her name in 4-5 months :)

Here’s the initial second year review on 9th July 2024 of BBA in Digital Business/ Digital Marketing at Pillai College, New Panvel (with IIDE’s faculties)

If you’ve not read my FY review of BBA DM (fees, placements, etc. will get cleared) please read that first below then start reading the latest SY initial days.

A) How much supportive is Pillai College towards your ideas?

Here I’ve 2 instances to share based on my personal experience:

  • We created a digital indoor campus map (accessible with a single QR) that’ll help students & parents to find any classroom /room easily. It took around 2 months for creating this. Principal & vice principal approved however, after a year still the map hasn’t been displayed on each floor (they told that we’ll display this innovation in our NAAC visit). They’ll support your idea on your face but won’t implement it sooner unless you’re super good at following up
  • I & Adithya Iyer (from BBA DM) proposed the idea of revamping the website for a better look & operating with SEO improvements. VP supported our idea by assigning BSc IT, CS & I and Adithya from BBA DM to take up this project & complete in 1.5 months for ease in the admission process. I & Adithya were handling the content part & the IT & CS students were structuring, designing & adding new features and the SEO part was need to be done after the site has been built. All the things were done, even after followups VP & other coordinators didn’t respond once. CS & IT students left the motivation to carry this further, so there was no point in moving forward. This project should get us 2 skill credits delivery to each student (but this didn’t happen). Here are a few glimpses of the new homepage that was in progress to make it live:

Pillai College revamped home page Pillai College revamped home page Pillai College revamped home page Pillai College revamped home page

 

B) Attendance issue?

In my FY I was particular about my attendance, but that was of no use. In my SY days now, I give more priority to my client projects & internships (as I learn more by doing than listening). Though there’s 75% mandatory, it is easily adjustable (I’ve gone from 60% to 73% in a week). There’s no professional exam made for BBA DM, how can a student give then? There’s no attendance concession for your internship (college like to make you sit in the class).

C) 12 Skill Credits Mandatory?

Till you graduate from BBA DM, you should have 12 skill credits to get the graduation certificate. Try to collect it most of them during FY & SY. College will take you to social activity, introduce courses, take part in competitions, etc. to collect it soon. Get all your certificates in a drive to show at the end of TY to calculate everything.

D) Railway Concession?

This facility is crucial to me as I live in Badlapur, Maharashtra (in Thane district) so it takes almost 2 hours to reach college. In my FY I utilised this well with 1st class pass for 50% concession.

In SY the concession won’t help you anyway, they assign Tuesday (for BBA DM) to collect passes, there are so many excuses the person gives. At the end, college don’t want to take effort for you to coordinate with the Railway office and get it processed fast.

So for SY students atleast for the 1st month, you can get your pass on UTS. From 2nd month you can continue for the quarterly pass from the concession form you had taken.

E) New Faculty or Old Faculty?

Mostly the faculty will be the same as you had in FY. Just a few change in 1-2 subjects who has some experience, but don’t rely on them. Internship & client projects on ground working will give you massive learnings than daily lecture.

As I’m writing on 9th July 2024, a few days we’ve online lectures due to rain issues. If you’re living far from college (atleast 80-90 KM away), in monsoon choose safety over lecture attendance. Though you may have other options to travel, you can’t tell the changing weather. College sometimes get the notification in the morning until then long distance students are already left for their daily lectures. So be close to your coordinator for the rain related updates.

If your internship is distance from Pillai College, it should have the faciility of work from home in extreme monsoon. My internship is in Andheri Chakala, so I’ve the fortunate employer to give me all the required adjustments.

Single message for SY students, this is the year where you see the magic of your career, avoid the romantic relationship, unnecessary habits, hanging with friends, etc. World is changing very fast, be highly dynamic & massive action taker on your skills.

From here starts my FY in BBA DM review:

Let’s start with the internship & placement offers…

Internship opportunities available with Pillai College:

a) Beginner students in DM need to learn initially and master 1 skill to gain desired internship (on or off campus] Don’t work in the NGOs internship offerd by colleges that’d take a lot of your time and least learning. Instead find a better internship through Linkedin /internshala (try to work at less stipend) IIDE offers an internship of a few weeks for doing a few tasks with training that’d help beginners.
b) For intermediate students in DM, they can get side projects or clients on LinkedIn
More internships will be offered by college in 2nd year.

Overall experience with campus life, focusing on social aspects, club involvement, and the infrastructure provided?

a) I travel from Badlapur to New Panvel (total of 4 hours/day) so I wasn’t involved in any clubs or events. Technical events like Kavach Hackathon & Alegria tech fest happened. In food fest if you’re setting up your food stall, you can execute your marketing skills to attract audience and make enough profit.
b) No need to read any book (course is highly practical and online resources are many). Projector with a camera to record the entire lecture that gets uploaded on IIDE bookmarks (this is of no use). Even though the offline lecture gets recorded by IIDE it doesn’t have any sound clarity and visiblity so better attend offline lectures & interact lively.
c) Students can charge their laptops on their desk but need to use thier own hotspots as college wifi doesn’t work.
IIDE gives you a personal domain & hosting with IIDE’s extension to practice WordPress
 
 

 What happened in Alegria?

What are my learnings from Alegria

In 2024 when I participated in many competitions including solo singing, brand quiz, business quiz, etc. I was selected in none

Means have got selected under final rounds for business quiz and brand quiz then lost it.

Main motivation behind participating in these events were…all these were related to what I’m learning and atleast winning in one of them would return the investment.

Solo singing auditions also I lost it – have asked them the reason but the Coordinators don’t have an idea of this (only the judges know the grading system)

Patience and persistence fuels your success.

Plus, I read a quote – good things take time but I realised this is true only in few context. Good things don’t take time when you clarity of what’s going and have some control on it.

However I helped in getting some success for my internship co. – GenZDealZ.ai to have them a stall and coordinate with management for multiple collaborations.

 

More details on the fee structure and the availability of scholarships, financial assistance, or campus employment opportunities?

a) The complete fee BBA DM course didn’t have any scholarships (neither at MahaDBT nor at National Scholarship Portal) even if I had got good marks in SC category.
b) Me & my parents visited Mantralaya (CSMT) in the Social Justice department many times (through references) but those executives told that Pillai College hasn’t mapped this course. As it is an autonomous college, University of Mumbai doesn’t want private colleges to charge so much fees for BBADM as a result they’re not granting any scholarship for this course, still Pillai College is trying to avail scholarship and will be informed students soon.
c) Students can apply in MahaDBT selecting plain BBA course and also try for regional NGOs (Eklavya India, Guruji Foundation, Mudita Alliance, Deepstambh Foundation, Vidyadan Sahayak Mandal, etc.) in Maharashtra who helps in securing scholarships with required evidence
 
 
IIDE bookmarks interface
 

Rating the course curriculum in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness?

a) Already I was aware of all the subjects in DM, the curriculum is highly practical (students need to bring laptops daily means whenever DM lectures are there) IIDE is the mediator between students & Pillai college.
b) IIDE takes care of the assignments, case studies, activities submission on IIDE bookmark and feedback is provided to each student. Sometimes IIDE doesn’t provide the faculties that have the required skills/experience (especially for subjects like Google ads & SEO) In such cases student’s overall feedback help them to bring a better one.
c) In my first year (started from June 2023) I had Sem 1 & 2 with two cumulative assessments (very easy to score) and compulsory 2 skill credit courses (based on your choice) here you need to pay additional amount to college. I prefer to choose soft skills & public speaking. For a beginner in Digital Marketing, one can learn a lot with faculty’s feedback on his/her work. For an expert in DM, one can do thier side projects easily.
 
 
 

Admission process? Cut-off , student’s ranking, etc.

a) The course is eligible for anyone securing minimum 60% in any stream in your 12th class. Students need to visit the college, take the brochure of BBA Digital Marketing and follow the online admission process as told by Pillai College admission team. As BBA Digital Marketing course was newly introduced in 2023 at Pillai College so there wasn’t any tough competition in selection of students.
b) If you’re little late in taking the admission for BBA DM, you might fall into the donation trap (so have little connections build before). Reservation & scholarship is only for Malyanam students, don’t know why they’re not providing to Maharashtrian of other states students.
c) BBA DM is so new course that is is not available on MahaDBT/National Scholarship Portal as it is a autonomous college so University of Mumbai isn’t providing the fee structure that is necessary for further scholarship process.
Parents can request a 1 month extra period (till July or August) to pay the total fees.
 
 
 
 
 

Talking About IIDE In More Detail:

IIDE has partnered with different colleges in India to provide Digital Marketing (DM) or Digital Business (DB) education. IIDE has its own professors and the college has some extra subjects (maths, professional communication, yoga, HRM, Economics) with DM subjects.
 
 
IIDE Professors: Most of the IIDE professors have industry experience in ecom, agency operations, coding, etc. IIDE is flexible to receive feedback and change prof.
 
However, few of the professors aren’t so professional in their field. For e.g. subject like Google ads & Google sheets could be taught very indepth. Those who’re learning DM for the first time will find these professors helpful but the intermediate students will need a highly PRO person in his/her subject which IIDE didn’t provided.
 
Curriculum: It matches current industry requirements. In 1st Sem we had Google sheets, marketing fundaments, HTML & CSS and analytics. In 2nd Sem we had commercial designing, wordpress development, SEO & blogging, and Google ads.
 
Other campus subjects like professional communication, statistics, and economics compliment the DM subjects. It was must for us to bring laptops daily, IIDE also conducts in-person masterclasses on DM subjects those are free to attend by college students.
 
During the skill credit course period during Diwali Vacation, IIDE conducted short-term course (₹3500) – Social Media Marketing at Pillai College of 15 days which had too basic knowledge and nothing in-depth of any social media platform. Instead you could buy a specific social media course like LinkedIn Growth Hacking or Twitter Growth from GrowthSchool at less price and indepth practical explanation.
 
IIDE has different bookmark portal for assignments & case studies uploading. Grad students can find the case studies done by their senior on IIDE web page to take insights from.
 
IIDE had arranged a small IIDE campus tour to attend ORM masterclass, meet other professors & placement orientation lecture.
 
Regular presentations & class activities are conducted to make you speak and jel with your peers on any given topic.
 
 
Placements: As we’re in FY a few internships from college was offered but that was not directly related to DM. IIDE has a mandatory internship scheduled in the Feb 2024 of 20 days (2 hours/day) with some assignments & feeedback. You get a LOE after completion of all tasks from IIDE.
 
I had done these tasks before, so it was easy for me. But for a beginner, he/she might need to practice more & experiment to get good results.
 
You could start pursuing internship in the FY (apart from what college offers) if your skills & internship requirements matches. Don’t worry much about the stipend initially, especially in DM where things change fast. When you show what you can do in your specialised area and become the only person on this planet to do a task that’s when you become super valuable.
 
Overall a good choice for beginner in Digital Marketing to choose Pillai College or any other college with BBA in Digital Marketing or Digital Business degree.
 
This review will be updated in my 2nd year of BBA DM at Pillai’s campus so you get clarity which degree or sujbects to pursue
Roller Coaster GA Metrics In India’s Ed-Tech Niche

Roller Coaster GA Metrics In India’s Ed-Tech Niche

Here I’ll be sharing the experience we had running Google ads & YouTube promotions for an educational academy mentoring about NISM (a financial exam in India made mandatory by SEBI for most finance professions & students)
YouTube sponsored video is the most recent feature launched in late 2023.
 
We’ll break down how each objective worked for us at a very affordable price with a suitable bidding strategy.
 

Google Ads Breakdown (app promo – search, discovery, display, Google Play)

In the overview tab of the campaign: In 7-9 days we got 42K impressions and 3.2K clicks.
Google ads in education sector
Google ads viewing duration for a financial educational academy
The graph showed some inconsistency due to pausing the campaign for 2 days. As it was the first time running Google ads for this academy so, Google is still collecting the historical data from the website and app inaction by placing the tags from GA4.
Google ad preview of a financial educational academy Google ad preview of a financial educational academy
This was the exact ad preview and different versions of it.
Though it showed so many clicks, the average downloads were 6-8 each day. It would have increased if we continued for a week.
 
As this app promo was running all over India especially the Uttar Pradesh region had the most downloads & impressions. So the quality of downloads needs to improve, the longer the app promo runs the more we can filter out the nontarget group
Even though we added all types of assets (image, video & cover photos), display networks on mobile phones gained maximum share.
 
We purposely inserted a long YouTube video to gain a high viewing duration for the most demandable course.
 
Here are some screenshots of other metrics.
 
 location of audience who interacted with the Google ad
 
 

Coming To YouTube Promotions (currently in Beta Stage):

YouTube video sponsored results YouTube video sponsored results
 
If you see on YouTube Studio, it is still in the beta stage. However, if you advertise from GooglemyBusiness your YouTube video can be promoted and will be reflected on Google ads dashboard.
 
YouTube promotions was also the first time we tried it. You get to see more specific metrics on YouTube Studio analytics than ads dashboard.
Motive behind running YT video promo was to gain more reach and let our audience know about our YouTube channel (which has just crossed 1000 subscribers)
 
We were getting good views on each video with high viewing duration but the downloads weren’t so effective compared to the budget.
I think, we still need to understand YouTube promotion little in depth. It is a good tool for increasing the reach of already trending videos on your channel.
So, trying a combination of both app promo and YT video promo is a good move.

Updated Views On 21st Jan 2024: 

app promotion & search campaign google ads results in education sector
After a gap of 7-8 days, we observed our campaign and got below-average results (as seen in the below graph).
Conversions refers to app downloads and compared to the budget and frequent changes we were making, the conversions are quite low. We tested a lot of things in less time:
a) Stopped YT video promotions (as they were just getting us views but didn’t get much conversions)
b) Focussed on promoting only our signature course and removed the other course creatives that were performing less
c) Started search ad campaign with the promotion of our best-selling course with site links to detailed financial articles.
So the overall budget is increased to ₹480/day
We also tried uploading a student database from an external site but that didn’t work for us. As Google targets the desired audience very well with the given interest areas.

The main problem we were facing in the app promotions campaign was many irrelevant audiences was downloading our application and few of them have downloaded by mistake. So the sales team needs to do a lot of filtration and segmentation of prospects .
As I get more insights from the website search campaign and the other app promotion campaign, I’ll update the same in this blog.
(this article will get updated regularly as I get more insights, I’ll be sharing with you all)
Graphy V/S Classplus – Which Can Become Your Marketing Partner?

Graphy V/S Classplus – Which Can Become Your Marketing Partner?

There has been a lot of ed-tech boom in India (as India is a very serious country in terms of education). So, Classplus and Graphy by Unacademy are revolutionizing this sector in their own ways.
Here, you as an educator will get a clear idea of which platform will be the best for marketing your courses & programs. We won’t cover the other factors like pricing, video quality, etc. Let’s dive in from my favourite channel…

email sent from Classplus campaign feature

 

( For Classplus) Email & SMS Marketing: There’s a default email template that can be used with little customization in the copy (change of cover image, logo, and footer). SMS are premade as per the agenda (thank you message or success/feedback/offer messages) you can only customize the SMS copy if you’re a registered entity under TRAI guidelines.
 
welcome email sent from Graphy Campaign features
(For Graphy) There are premade (non-customizable) email templates as per the user action that can be run on automation. Here’s the list of actions users could do and the automated emails are sent to them. Many times we’ve kept it switched off because of ineffective copy and our client’s audience doesn’t see emails. Use this email feature as per how frequently your audience checks emails
Here’s my recently published book on Email Marketing to go through (guaranteed steps for entering into the primary tab): https://amzn.eu/d/hQXQqI1
email marketing book by Shreyas Karade
For Graphy, to send SMS, you’ve to register as an entity and follow the TRAI guidelines
 
 

 

(For Classplus) Marketing & Feedback Support: Classplus has a dedicated team to guide educators about their YouTube channel growth (insights on thumbnails, captions, design, and picking demandable video topics). Response time after scheduling the call is under 15 minutes, the growth manager of Classplus gives interesting insights by focusing on specific instructions to get the results right away.
Classplus introduces the educators to their whole team 1-on-1 and stays very closely connected giving maximum support.
Updating on 5th January 2023: Classplus support systems have become weak for some time (not just technically but also guiding the educators about personalised recommendations on educator’s channel, introducing too many terms and conditions, expensive website restructuring fee, etc.)
 
(For Graphy) Graphy doesn’t give a dedicated growth manager to 
educators neither their response time is quick.
 

YouTUbe updates by Classplus

(For Classplus) Educator’s Dashboard: Classplus has a dynamic dashboard containing different updates YouTube makes each day to make the changes in YouTube’s marketing approach. It releases creative infographics to make it easy for educators to understand how YouTube works. Specifically, Classplus have picked YouTube as student’s ideal studying platform is YouTube that has all the features to help students excel
 
(For Graphy) Graphy doesn’t give regular updates on any social media platform. Even in the analytics section, Graphy doesn’t give numbers for all the platforms to track the data which makes it difficult for the marketing team to schedule future campaigns.
 
(For Classplus) Get Own Brand Ambassador: Sourav Ganguly can become your brand ambassador to promote your ed-tech brand. It is covered in the ClassPlus plan, you just need to give your details to start the influence of Ganguly sir.
For one of our client, we haven’t used this feature because if the mentorship is unique and if the prof. is available for students’ doubts, word of mouth works really well for us.
Though an influencer will get us certain reach, only till a certain period
 
(For Graphy) Graphy doesn’t have such a feature (influencer marketing). Because Graphy isn’t an Indian company and it needs to have a very good idea of the Indian market of what marketing features to introduce first. On the other side Classplus founders have spent years in the Indian edtech market, so they’ve having a good edge over Graphy.
follow up leads status in Classplus dashboard
 
(For Classplus) Follow-Up System: Classplus gives a detailed list of users as per the lead status and what actions they took to follow up with them accordingly. It updates on real time so if there’s a new course launch or content updation to the existing courses, it gives specific user insights to contact them as per priority.
 
(For Graphy) Graphy doesn’t give such detailed reports of users for follow-up.
 
classplus GeoReports
(For Classplus) GeoReports: Classplus gives an interesting report based on the following criteria. So if the educator sells the courses only in India. The state, city & area-wise traffic division can see based on what criteria we’ve selected. 

 Course Viewers
 Transacting Students
 Avg. Selling Price
 Revenue
 Potential Growth
 AI-Powered Leads
 Student Sign-ups
Graphy by Unacademy analytics view Graphy by Unacademy analytics view

 

(For Graphy) Graphy also has a unique analytics view as seen above. We can divide the traffic based on their learning time, unique visitors, session duration, bounce rate, etc. city, state & country-wise. We could also see other details like browsers, referrers, and which campaign or media attracted those viewers.
(For Classplus) Affiliates & Promo Code System: Classplus doesn’t have much facilities for a referral code and for affiliate marketing.
Graphy has a dedicated affiliate members panel to communicate with affiliates. There’re different terms & conditions creators can put for affiliates. There’s a section for token to refer back to other students. Using these tokens students can purchase thier desired courses. Graphy gets an edge here
service providers by Classplus
 
Classplus cares for educators marketing knowledge, so regular sessions on different topics (YouTube SEO, case study breakdown, talk with brand owners, etc.) You can vote publically to choose the desired webinar/seminar topic.
Classplus also supports other marketing service providers to whom educators can take quotes and compare these firms with each other (authorised by Classplus)
 
 
We’ve not discovered blogs yet, as the audience of our clients is more interested into interactive learning. Still you can compare the blogging features on both of these platforms and let me know your experience in the comment section.

Which Form Of Content Can Give Massive Growth In A Few Years?

Which Form Of Content Can Give Massive Growth In A Few Years?

Nowadays, Tik Tok is trying to be YouTube for more engaging content and Youtube is trying to be TikTok by introducing shorts in their new section. 

Most of you might stress more on short videos of 1-2 mins to get more traction. However, the more serious audience & people who genuinely trust & respect you are ready to watch any length of video whether it be a 2 Day Mastermind or a 3-hour workshop.

Shorts breaks the attention by another short & people sometimes can’t get your actual message. In a long video, they are in your universe for at least 15 mins & that’s the chance you’ve to give value they never got anywhere else & in the end encourage them to join your tribe.

Let’s now compare the performance of shorts & interactive videos!

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗢𝗳 𝗔 𝟮𝟬 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗩𝗦 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳 𝟯𝟬 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘀

What happens when you post a 30-40 mins detailed explanation video?

Either it’ll get a few thousand views or get a few lakh views (when you have a million subscribers)

People today are very skeptical, they want the content or the value to be introduced in a few mins and not in a long video to understand things fundamentally.

You must have seen the comedy video of 13 mins is having more views than an interactive session of 20-30 mins.

This is not gonna be fruitful for the audience. If you invest half an hour watching something valuable or life-changing, it’s equal to 15-20 Youtube shorts where you need to scroll every time and an ad comes after every 3 mins.

People who are watching an interactive podcast/video for 40 mins are more focused and understand things deeper than the rest of the audience. That’s when a deep connection is built between the content creator & the consumer and so the creator can able to have an impact on the right people.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Why Stepping Towards Recession Is The Sign Of Intelligence?

Why Stepping Towards Recession Is The Sign Of Intelligence?

Recession is all over the place, the internet is filled with blog articles increasing people’s fear in their minds about the worst condition of the global economy.

However, today you’ll find a way to keep you stress-free about the recession & add a few extra zeros to your income where others are losing their mind.

Let’s dive in!

Recession For Business Owners & Plan To Overcome:

Everyone in the market belonging to different industries at different roles is saying recession has come & now will stay for a while.

However, there’s always a way to change your growth track to an exponential level by going against the masses. 

See the wealthy investors do what others think is crazy in such a situation, ultimately those investors have the third eye to observe what’s waiting for the economy. As a result, they make a lot of money even in an adverse situation.

Billion-dollar businesses are built mostly in recession by killing the fear people live with to add an extra zero in their income. It’s the opportunity for every business owner to solve critical problems which people have been waiting for years. That’s when you’ll have what others don’t.

Best examples – WhatsApp, Bharat Serum Institute (for COVID-19 Vaccine) & many more.

It’s time to upgrade every aspect of business & overcoming the recession by facing it. Every fear is killed by moving toward it, it’s time to dominate the market by doing things differently.

 

Golden Opportunity For Copywriters/Marketers:

No matter how the market condition is and whether the market is hot or not

The only thing that remains constant is people’s demand, even if they don’t have the money they will arrange it anyhow.

So, the main thing required is EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCT + ALLURING COPY

People have amazing products, they just require the right copywriters who can do the expected work

If you’re a copywriter, have the required skills (proven process before writing the copy, pitching your offer & closing high-end deals) that every business owner needs.

They can easily pay you the desired amount for what they want even if it’s a recession.

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

How OYO, Zoho, Flipkart Is Based On This Formula?

How OYO, Zoho, Flipkart Is Based On This Formula?

Many business owners ask the wrong question…

How do I increase the profit/customer? or Which marketing strategy is the best? Which distribution network to use?

They don’t follow the sequence of the business (which is explained in the next part), neglecting it and jumping to other parts can results in great failure like if your product is not upgraded at that level, your employees are not efficient then scaling in such situation maximizes your loss.

And to avoid this, here’s the sequence of Business Success. If followed step-by-step and constant improvements in the process, the business will grow exponentially. So here’s it:

a) Problem
b) Prospect
c) People
d) Product
e) Pricing & Positioning
f) Process & Performance
g) Profit
h) Purpose

a) Problem: Spend most of your time researching the visible and invisible problems of customers. Experience every step that customer follows while using your product. Talk with them, take a survey, and solve first the burning problems of your customers. Also, see who is solving those problems and how you’re solving them differently. It can be incremental or disruptive progress.

 

b) Prospect: Get your buyer persona on a paper. His age, interests, income, buying behavior, occupation, and everything. This will help you to launch the product according to him.

 

c) People: Here people means your team members. Get suggestions from them about the product, various services, and their experiences of products in the market. After taking view from everyone, take a wise decision to make the product and build the authority before launching.

 

d) Product: By discussing your ideas with your team and insights from the market. Launch your product accordingly and work on the immediate response of customers whatever they say. You can build a prototype to test and then launch a final product.

 

e) Pricing & Positioning: This step involves pricing your services and positioning them at the right place, not before nor after the correct time. Becuae identifying the market trends and taking steps accordingly can benefit you a lot.

 

f) Process & performance: Before moving this step, just make sure your previous process is going smoothly and solving your customer’s problem mentally. Reverse engineering is essential before moving ahead. Unnecessary scaling leads to high losses.

 

g) Profit: In this step, you have scaled and your business is doing fine and scaling slowly and gaining enough profits. Profit can be invested back into or into other activities like new product line, efficient training or distribution network, it’s up to you.

 

h) Purpose: Lastly, your WHY of the business should be clear because at the end you need to have some purpose to make all your goals align and give a direction to the company’s success. For example, Disney’s purpose is: ‘The mission of The Walt Disney Company is to entertain, inform and inspire people around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling, reflecting the iconic brands, creative minds, and innovative technologies that make ours the world’s premier entertainment company.” So, define a clear purpose and centralize all your efforts to it.

Business never needs major investment to start, it can start from Rs 20,00 as well. Because in today’s age you have everything like social media, experiences of a successful entrepreneur, you can leverage them and start your business with them or take help from them. For more info just hit me an email ( which you can find above) 

This sequence is used by many successful businesses and you’ll never face failure in any business model by following this sequence. Thanks for reading my article and best wishes to you ahead!

8 Guaranteed Steps For A Successful Bootstrapped Business – 2022

8 Guaranteed Steps For A Successful Bootstrapped Business – 2022

Bootstrapping a business in the sense – taking control of your business 100% in your hand. Many people would prefer to have investors and VCs for starting a business but remember a business initially needs your time, not your money. To have full freedom, be self-dependent, and build a long-term business. Bootstrapped is important.

In the case of investors, it takes time to grow the business, and investors want short-term growth but sometimes a new start-up fails to do. This fails majority of the startups. So, here’re the guaranteed steps to bootstrap a business and examples of successful founders.

 

Golden Steps for a Successful Bootstrapped Business

1) Choosing your expertise- When you choose a business, be passionate in your area and become a master at it. Without that, you can not solve the burning problems of the customers within your business. So, be the master of one of your passionate fields.

 

2) Read reviews and ratings of other brands- Make sure you read every product review & ratings of your competitors on different platforms. Implement the same experience in your business but improve the negative experiences to gain a large audience. Appoint a specific team to work on your action plan. Kent RO identified that India is suffering from unsafe water and penetrated the market slowly.

 

3) Build alliances with your supplier/creditor- If you have a product idea but don’t have enough resources like machinery, raw material, etc. then give extra commissions to the credit or service provider. Doing this, offer a credit period of 6-8 months, as in that period you can gain customers and your business can get started. You need to have negotiation & closing skills for this and it can be started with little to no money. 

 

4) Funding Take funds from your family friends, or mentors. You can work at freelancing sites and earn a second income to reinvest. But that work should contribute to your business. In this way, funds will be arranged for your business. Don’t take loans from banks.

 

5) Be very Frugal – You need to be frugal in your initial stage, when Elon Musk started his Tesla company, they were cutting the cost at the max level. So, hire people on a work basis, set up a simple office than a home to feel like you’re working, and minimize the cost at every step possible.

 

6) Leverage your Social network- Animoto started their journey through LinkedIn, their CEO was posting regular videos on meeting with clients or success of venture on social networks. That gain traction and traffic was attracted with little to no money. It also creates your brand identity as people like people not the logo of your brand.

 

7) Wear many hats- Initially, you’ve to take every work possible in, as you don’t have enough funds so you should do content writing, marketing, sales, and hiring, etc. When you have enough revenue, you can hire skilled people to scale further.

 

8) Skyrocket your sales – As you can’t live for many days like this, instead you need to make J-curve in your business. For that, you need excellent marketing skills, constant follow-up with referrals, and collaborating with other brands if possible.

Reaching the top, every month must be your goal then you can become successful in 4-5 years.

 

Examples of Successful Bootstrapped Founders:

 

iide

 

1) IIDE (Indian Institute of Digital Education) It’s the Digital marketing institute of India which specializes in every aspect. Trainers from top brands and business owners deliver their experiences, learnings, and secrets to the students. It’s also been awarded the No. 1 Institute of Digital Marketing. Karan Shah has build his business in 2016 from a very low level and made it successful in different countries.

 

Bada Business- Vivek bindra

 

2) Bada Business Bada Business is an initiative by Dr. Vivek Bindra which focusses on giving highly affordable business content with action plans. Billionaire professors teach here and it’s more than an MBA level program with a cost of less than 1 lakh. Their vision is to make India No. 1 in entrepreneurship.

 

Kent RO - Mahesh Gupta

 

3) Kent RO Kent RO was started by the savings of Dr. Mahesh Gupta and they try to sell their products directly by demonstrating to customers and getting the actual benefits. Few machines were sold and people started to like their product as they were solving their drinking problem and making a healthier life with a one-time investment. It was totally started with low investment and now they’ve reached massive revenue of 500+cr with their amazing brand authority in the market.

I hope the above steps and examples will help you to start your own business with your money and enjoy total freedom. Comment below which steps you’re using and some amazing thoughts and suggestions, I am always to hear from you!

TV has some amazing benefits that none other medium doesn’t have and to use it in a perfect way for businesses is the main thing. So in this post, you’ll get an idea of how to implement low-cost TV ads and check their effectiveness and judge with different platforms.

 

4 Benefits of TV Advertising: 

 

1) Unbeatable reach – When it comes to TV ads, you can’t beat their reach. TV has reached every home to the village area and neglecting it can cost you like anything. Most people of different ages watch tv’s every day and you can grab their attention at the same time in different locations. In village areas there is not enough internet, here TV ads can work for you.

2) Trust and Credibility – More and more people trust TV as a trusted source than social media ads. Because TV has been the only source from very old times and many people found it credible and trusted. So, many brands who marketed online are using this medium now. If your business is new, this can help you to build trust at a faster rate.

3) Fusion of TV & online ads – Many brands such as reliance, apple, amazon, etc. have started using both mediums to get more reach and revenue. It’s the best way to capture different audiences belonging to different interests.

When consumers start to see your ad on all the mediums, it recalls your brand remarked to customers at the same time. So, not depending on one factor can work for you to get more customers.

4) Popular medium – TV has always been the popular medium for all age groups. Besides social media, families spend time watching TV during dinner or any other time. In such cases, your brand’s ads can be seen by many people and people like to see more engaging ads on TV than on social media. Examples of amazing TV ads can be found here.

 

Can TV Ads work for your business?

Type 1 – If your business is new or less than a year, stop looking at TV ads, instead use social media, word of mouth, product development, and get more clients through PR, low-cost marketing ideas, arranging events, etc.

Type 2 – If your business is well established and getting enough clients from the country. TV ads can work for you depending upon your model.

TV ads can prove to you the expected results and can get every benefit I’ve mentioned above with a higher ROI. You can use the local ad operator, regional, or national TV channel for marketing. The benefits of local TV operators are as follows:

a) Preference Target Audience – In this you can select the TG as per your choice. If your business belongs to village areas or the middle class, you can target them as per the location.

b) Brand positioning – If you have changed the brand message or TG, then it’s the best source to communicate your message. People will start noticing you as per your product and the story you tell them.

c) Pull Factor- In tier 2-3 cities, people believe in the product when they see it on TV. So, you can gain trust in less time by using this type.

d) Low-cost – Compared to higher frequency channels like SONY, Star plus, etc. Here the cost is less and with a higher reach. So, more profits to invest back in business.

It is not compulsory to use local channel operators, you can use National and Regional TV channels for bigger reach.

 

What if you’re a B2B, B2C, or B2B2C?

Other than B2C or B2B2C, you should not use TV ads, as it may not give you the expected results because most business owners, don’t rely much on TV. So, trying different mediums like cold emailing or calling, speaking at events, collaborating with other brands will help you.

In B2C or B2B2C, you can use this ad method as many people watch TVs and if your product convinces the customer, you’ll get a wider reach. 

Use TV ads based on your budget, industry, timing, and objective. Otherwise, you’ll end up wasting the money and get no returns from it. So, before entering, make an exit plan to minimize the risk.

I hope you’ve got a new perspective on TV ads and how you gonna be using this source. Comment below on how this can benefit your business and also other thoughts in your mind. Thank you for reading my article!

5 Important Competencies Every Employee Must Have

5 Important Competencies Every Employee Must Have

You must have seen the title i.e important competencies. Any business whether it’s a startup, small, medium, or big enterprise can use these qualities to implement in their employees or identify them at the hiring process. I’ll just directly come to the topic by introducing the non-negligible qualities every employee must possess.

More than 80% of Business success depends on the employee, and making mistakes in this area can cost you MASSIVELY.

1) Integrity – This single word ‘INTEGRITY’ covers all the important qualities. Employees’ attitude towards colleagues, seniors, do they waste their time on unnecessary things. How they deal with failure, whether he thinks solution-oriented or problem-oriented. How strong his self-confidence is and his willingness to contribute to the company first. So, the employee must have integrity with others, this covers all the above points that are necessary before knowledge and skills.

2) HIGHLY Focus – Most of the employees have the habit to talk with others while working and that disturbs their work schedule which ultimately affects the efficiency of the business. Highly focussed manpower just thinks about how this work can be done in ½ of the time with much less cost and gets fully involved in it. In this situation, the quality of work increases, and as a result, such employees get promotions frequently and become irreplaceable for the business. So, critical focus is nonnegligible.

3) UNREALISTIC Targets – Employees should set targets that are far away from the present situation. For example, if the boss says to close this Million dollar deal in 30 days, he should think about how I can get this done in 3 days without wasting time. By setting such targets and pushing himself to work at 10X, imagination turns into reality. And every boss likes such employees because they start to contribute massively higher than the seniors. So, thinking at the 10X level is essential.

4) Initiator – Taking initiative is the most important competency you should see in every employee otherwise he will remain as a follower and never do something innovative. See how he deals with failures and the bad experiences when an initiative fails, his level of actions will determine how successful the employee can become. And initiators contribute a lot to the business.

5) Open-Mindedness – This is the quality that will make the employee successful in achieving his goals in any situation. Your employee should be willing to do whatever work is related to his goals. His mind should be open to learning and trying out different things which promote growth. Such types of employees are the most essential so that they accept the change and move forward as quickly as possible.

Just implement these qualities in your employees while hiring or you can train the existential employees. And I am sure, your employees’ contribution and consistency will improve at a much better level.

Don’t neglect any of these qualities. Skills and knowledge can be transferred but these are non-compromisable and you must look after them in order to achieve MASSIVE SUCCESS in your business. Comment below how you find it useful and share your thoughts with me.

So, I am going to deliver to you the important lessons that I’ve learned from this book. So, let’s get started!

 

The Most CRAZY And PRICELESS Sales Lessons:

 

1. Handle Objections as Complaints – When it comes to objections, many salespeople get scared of them and try to get rid of them instead of handling them intelligently. You’re not fixing the objections, you’re just handling the attitude of the buyer. By making little change in your point of view, your results will become far better. See the below objections for your reference:

a) Buyer- Let me talk to my Spouse! Answer- She knows you’re here, let’s sign here sir!

b) Buyer- Hey, it’s a lot of money, Answer- I know it’s a lot of money and I agree with you it’s a lot of money, but look how many people would love to work with you by seeing your amazing results, is that agreeable?

 

2. Money is NEVER the Problem- Many salesmen think that the buyer doesn’t have enough money to buy this product. But in reality, if they believe in your product and the value they get then the money is and never will be the problem.

Even if the buyer doesn’t have sufficient funds he’ll get it anyhow or your company will help him out. So, never think about scarcity of money, Money is in ABUNDANCE!

 

3. You MUST Be Pushy – Many buyers will tell you, ‘Hey, don’t be too fast, I am not going to take the decision today. But you’ve to be Persistent and be pushy whenever is required. Failing to do this, can result in achieving success for others but not for yourself. So, to fastrack your Sucess journey you need to be Pushy, right?

 

4. You Are Not Selling Just the Product- Remember for sure, you never sell the product, you’ve to sell your company, support system, product/services, and yourself. Because the buyer never transacts the money because of the product. Yes, the product is included plus, all the above things that are connected to your buyer’s purchase. So, next time don’t sell only the product.

 

5. Earn As Much Money As You Can- It is the greatest blessing to salespeople that they decide their salary. And with your necessary skills, knowledge, and practice you can create a ‘Sky Is The Limit’ situation.

So, constantly learn from your mistakes, practice in day-to-day situations, and observe other salespeople what mistakes they’re doing that will make you aware beforehand. Just contribute to your economy by earning extra, giving extra, and helping as many people as you can.

 

These lessons were literally the Tip of the Iceberg. To gain more deep learning and bigger advantages over others, you must read this book for sure. Because you can use this techniques and strategies anywhere and with whomever you want in your professional and persoanl life.

Write at least 8-9 headlines to get the best one and use in your copy. Your headline should describe what’s in it for the user to read further. You can use various combinations like benefit-driven, asking a question, or starting with a story.

 

2. Stories drive Engagement- Copies starting with stories are more likely to generate amazing sales. As humans like stories, true stories that can able to connect and describe your product in an amazing way. You can see the best example of this below.

 

story telling story telling 2story telling 3

 

3. Write like you Talk- Having a conversational style of writing drives more attention than just writing like an essay. Make your writing more personal and not like talking to a group. Can you see my style of writing? I write as I am talking to my friend. Define your audience, address them and create your solution specifically for them. Practice this type of writing, you will get better as you do.

 

4. Unique Guarantees- Guarantees are the best way to make the consumer feel secure while buying for you. It ensures that the customer gets the best deal with minimum risk. Guarantees such as 30 or 60 Day Money-Back Guarantee, Product warranty for 2 years, or No Guarantee.

Don’t just offer a guarantee in a simple way like 30-Day Money back guarantee. Do it in an interesting way. For e.g If you don’t like this 5-Day Workshop, don’t worry. Just send us a request for your refund and we will send your money back along with a Free Guide on How to Improve your Digital Skills. It’s the same idea, just present it in a different way with some additions. And if you already have a strong authority in the market, then you don’t need such guarantees.

 

5. Talk with your Customers- Spend time with your customers and understand what they want. See what they are complaining about with their best friends and mention all the problems in your message. So, they feel that you have understood them and you can create solutions specifically addressing their problems.

 

6. Call out your Enemies- This technique is used when you want to tell your audience that we are not that we are this. This makes your position stronger and the audience understands what you stand for. The best example of this is given below DollarShaveClub

 

 

7. Use Middle One Best Method- While selling the product that gives you enough profit. You have to add 2 more products that will make the middle product a good one to buy. You can see such example when you buy hosting or any other services, consumers will think I don’t want the big one which is not needed but the smaller pack is also not favourable, so I will go with the middle one that gives me enough benefits and is useful for me.

 

 

8. Build a Powerful Credibility- Credibility is the main thing when you approach a client. So, to generate this you have to work with enough clients, by showing dozens of reviews and testimonials, posting on social media, your followers, and the work you have done.

You can show your stats on the front page of the site to create a hook. Because people want someone who has worked with brands. If you are just starting in copywriting, write for NGOs to get your initial testimonials.

 

9. Scarcity leads to ACTIONS!- Humans have the habit to procrastinate and make a decision later on. So, you have to generate such scarcity to take immediate action and buy your product. Scarcity can be generated in the following ways, 3-4 scarcity you can generate in a single copy.

1) Only 43 Seats Left Out Of 450, Tickets are selling fast. So Hurry Up!

2) We have this service only to our Private Exclusive Members, but for a limited time we’re offering to you as well.

3) We will take only 30 members not more than that. So, if you desire to attend this event, fill this form quickly. (You can place a countdown below)

 

10. Go Pain over Pleasure- The biggest motivating factor for humans is PAIN. Everybody wants to avoid pain and get to the solutions directly. You can implement this in your copy, by addressing the pain points of your customer, by talking to them, listening to their complaints, and offering them a perfect product that solves their issue. As a result, you make a direct connection with your audience.

So, every individual is giving useful content, value and helping others to get their brand known to their audience.

How this Simple Process can Manage Any Type of Risk and Still Stay in Profits

If you are looking to identify the risks in your business and want to mitigate them, I will show you the simple process where you can identify any type of risk and keep your business in profitability.

I will not waste your time telling you the different types of risks and how you can manage them rather this simple process will help you to manage any type of risk by taking simple steps. So let’s go through this process

 

Risk Management Process

1) Risk Context- First step is to identify in which area does the risk is involved. Whether you are not getting the goods on time, the marketing budget is not working as expected or a particular asset of the company can damage anytime.

Identify such risks, question yourself and you’ll find how many risks are involved in your business so you can take immediate action.

 

2) Risk Analysis and Consequences- Second step is to analyse the risk and its impact on your business. First, write down the different risks involved and then measure their intensity and identify its cause where its coming from. This will help you to take action on the most important and highly impacting risks so you can avoid its negative effect.

 

3) Risk Mitigation- The third step is to mitigate the risk and this can be done in different forms you can use any of the below methods to manage it.

a) Assume accept- You can assume and accept that this risk cannot be avoided, you have to bear the monetary losses and loss of time and effort. Examples such as entering a new competitor in the market can affect your brand equity.

b) Avoid- By identifying the cause of risk you can immediately make changes in the process and system so that next time you can avoid it. You can take help from your team members, take suggestions and make immediate changes to avoid a big loss.

c) Control- Control the level of risk which is controllable to you. For example, if any cyber attack occurs on your website you can change your servers and arrange efficient manpower to look after such issues, or if the website crash has a backup with you.

d) Transfer- If one of your best employee leaves his job you should have an automated system to take care of his work or another employee to look after his work. This is called transferring the risk to someone else. Best solution is to make a system that’ll take care in absence of someone so you don’t have to worry.

 

4) Risk Monitoring- In this step you have to monitor whether the changes you’ve made are working or not. You need to predict the upcoming risk because of the existing changes.

You need to consider whether the risks are changing or not. Measure the impact of changes you’ve made on your internal business environment, market, brand, and competition, etc. Also, measure in what capacity you can bear different risks so that situation remains in your control.

 

5) Communicate and Consult- In this last step you communicate with different members in your business, consultants or advisors for the risk involved and how to plan them. Take suggestions, solutions from your employee about the upcoming risks and high priority risks to tackle them immediately.

 

How Various Brands have Managed Risk in their Business?

 

jio

 

Case Study#1: Before the entrance of Jio, Airtel and Vodafone were earning sufficient profits and they had the majority of the market share. But when Jio entered the market at such a low cost. It created market risk for many telecom companies such as BSNL, Uninor, Tata Docomo, Airtel, and Vodafone.

Majority of the co. get closed but Airtel, Vodafone, Idea remained because the marketing of Airtel was strong in the market so it helped them to stay and survive and Vi get collaborated. It was a type of marketing risk.

 

tata nano

 

Case Study #2: When Tata introduced its new model Tata Nano, it failed in the market because it didn’t have proper planning, and the product was not upgraded as per the consumer which resulted in failed marketing. It comes under Brand risk.

 

Case Study #3: In India, before Coca-Cola, there were cold drinks such as Gold Spot, Citra, and Bisleri Club Soda. After Coca-cola entered the market many brands vanished, as coca-cola was a big brand in many countries and they captured the Indian market by increased competition. It also comes under Brand Risk.

 

Whatever risk your brand faces, follow the above process, your business will remain in profit as there is no brand captured entire market share. So, be ready for such risks and manage them properly.

5 Key-Lessons to Remember to Achieve Extraordinary Results

 

1) The Power of One Thing- Most people have the mindset that everything is important equally and they try to do it all at once. As a result, they don’t give time to the most important thing. Before getting to the most important thing, you need to ask one focussing question that will give just one answer, that answer must include all the small things that you need to take. A question can be related to your relationships, financial situation, or business.

For example, What’s the one thing that can make me productive this month?

Ans: Be Discipline

Your question must be specific, meeting a deadline and expecting a single answer. You can ask questions in different areas of your life and get your answer.

 

habits

 

2) Discipline builds strong habits By being discipline, your life becomes easier and you can maintain your productivity level with consistent improvements. But for achieving the success you don’t need strict discipline. You just need a little discipline to build good habits.

After following those habits, everything becomes easy, you just need to stay disciplined at the starting but after few days. Your habits will drive you. It’s all about doing the right thing at the right time, and for that, you don’t need a highly disciplined life. Discipline at the right thing will make your life more clear and simple.

 

3) Commitments bring Diamond- Follow the three commitments that will contribute to your one thing and see the magic with you.

a) Master your one thing. Before your mastery, identify one thing and see whether it is important or not. So, your one thing that matters the most. Practicing your one thing daily and doing it consistently help you to learn more and grow more.

b) Unlock your potentials. If a thing comes out of you naturally, don’t stick to it. Try different things and unlock your greatest potential. This will help you to explore more and being limitless. Otherwise, you will make excuses and never ever grow.

c) Be accountable. Take your own responsibility and bring your actions and desire closer together. While doing your one thing, take help from your mentors and ask what improvements can you suggest for me. Write your goals and share them with others, this increases the chances of your success.

 

4) Balancing your life is not the right decision- Balancing your personal and professional life is possible, but you won’t get extraordinary results. Because you will not give your 100% time and energy to it. As magic happens at the extreme.

So, what’s the solution? Do Counterbalance because when you are at work for 11 hrs for continuous 8-10 years you can miss your wonderful days that will never come back. Implement counterbalance in your personal and professional life. So, that you get your extraordinary results and stay connected with your family.

 

5) Avoid these thieves- Below are the thieves that you need to consider for achieving your extraordinary results.

a) Learn to say ‘NO’. Saying no to others means you are committing to yourself and working on your one thing. Instead of directly saying no, you can delegate to someone, give him FAQs or external help. So, that your most important one thing gets done.

b) Keeping a supporting environment. While going through your journey, live with the people that always seek success. That will help you to outperform your one thing and there will be a good friendship between you and them.

c) Do your one thing anyhow. Many distractions, people, and circumstances will oppose you, but your responsibility is to get your time blocked for your one thing. Because that matters the most. Keep yourself productive by taking care of your health and you will get extraordinary results.

 

6) Don’t leave any regrets in your life. Live your life to the fullest, discover, go ahead and just explore more things and see how big life is. By imagining at 60-70 age you must say that I live the want that I wanted and there are many exciting things that are coming to me.

How to Increase Return on Investment and Manage Cashflow in Business?

How to Increase Return on Investment and Manage Cashflow in Business?

In this post, I will cover what is ROI, how to calculate this, its connection with margins, and managing overall cash in your business. I will tell you how important ROI is and the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make here.

You will understand how to increase your margins in different ways and having maximum cash flow in your business. So, let’s start with the first point.

 

What is ROI?

ROI (Return on Investment) is the amount invested by your business on that you are getting certain returns.

So the mistake here is, most retailers or businessmen calculate their profit margins on the value of the goods. Just calculating your profits is not just enough. You also have to calculate the amount invested by your business. If the returns on investment are higher than 12% then the ROI is good. So, here even if your margins are low you can get high ROI by keeping your investments lesser. Below is the formula for calculating your ROI.

Calculation of Return on Investment:

ROI= Yearly Profit/Investment value or Equity

For e.g ROI= 200/100 = 50% ROI

So, always evaluate your business based on the amount invested and check that the ROI should not be less than 10%, otherwise you need to make improvements in your business.

 

What are the Steps to Increase the ROI?

1) Identify which products in your business give high & low margins. Also, see how many times the product gets rotate. Higher the rotation higher will be the profit even its margins are low. And the products with high margins but less rotation and costs your time and investment, remove such products.

Keeping only the ones that get profits with more rotation can increase profitability which in turn increases your ROI.

 

2) Keep your inventory limited, in required quantities. As keeping more inventory in your business will lead to the higher interest which decreases your margins. So, pay attention to your inventory.

 

3) Take advance money from people and deliver services later. So, that you can invest the received amount in marketing & expansion that leads to more rotation of your products instead of keeping your money idle.

 

cashflow

 

How to manage your cash flow in business?

Many entrepreneurs struggle with having enough working capital in their hands. And there are some steps that are mentioned below that can help you to have enough working capital so that you can use that cash for further expansion.

1) If you are in the trading business then sell your products directly to the consumer. They will pay you in immediate cash. So, your capital will not get stuck and you will have enough cash.

2) For credit sales, check the character, the capacity of the person to whom you are selling. Check his reputation in the market through his PnL, B/S, and see whether he has the capacity to pay you. If necessary take something collateral from him like land, or a car.

3) Have a good relationship with your supplier. If you pay your dues on time and fulfilled your promise then your reputation in the market grows. Make a proper billing system to pay your supplier timely.

4) After having enough cash in your business. You can invest that in purchasing more inventory having more demand. You can also invest in mutual funds or FDs for safer options.

 

debt management

 

Debt Management

Having huge debt on your business can result in insufficient cash flow and you can face huge losses. Also, if your margins are low and the interest rates are high you can face the problem of cash flow. To manage your debt properly and keeping enough cash flow in your business, follow these 4 steps:

1. Expansion with low gross margins- Many businesses try to expand in spite of having low margins and they don’t have the capacity to pay huge interest rates. So, make sure that you have sufficient gross margins for the long term to keep enough cash flow.

2. Restructure your Debt- If you find it difficult to repay your debt, you can restructure it by extending the duration that will increase your current cash flow.

3. Save Cost- Clear your debts by saving the cost of different business expenses like marketing, transportation, or sales. Save these costs and try to get a higher credit period that will help you to manage your cash flow effectively.

4. Relationship with your supplier- Build a strong relationship with your supplier. Give him good rates, visibility and some extra benefits from your side. In return, take extra credit period that will reduce your burden and profit margins increases.

How to Grow and Expand a Retail Business In India?

Retail business in India is very popular. Most of the Indians purchase goods & services from small and big retailers. This article will help you to improve your retail business. I will discuss how to deal with your customers and competition, managing your online presence, and sustainable long-term strategies for more expansion. So, before going ahead there are some mistakes to be avoided in this business.

 

Mistake #1: Not building long-term relationships with customers

Many retailers just try to treat their customers as one-time buyers and don’t try to make good relations with them. That’s why most retailers face problems in attracting more customers.

 

Mistake #2: Bad Customer Experience

A good experience is an ultimate thing that a customer expects to receive. Sometimes there is a lack of skills among the member or they don’t give genuine advice.

appreciate your customers

 

4. Appreciate your customers- Appreciating your customers can make them feel recognized and good. Congratulate them on their purchase, tell them how good the decision is. Give them rewards, free coupons, or free access to some of your products so that they know that you care for them and you are not selfish.

 

5. Imagination+Telling- Are you giving a product demonstration? If not, then you must. Because sometimes buyers buy them because of the effective demonstration and detailed explanation of each element.

Get a video of your product and put it on your site or wherever you are selling. Add some video testimonials of your happy customers that will help the buyer imagine in that state.

 

6. Enthusiasm- Be excited and enthusiastic when communicating, explaining, and featuring your product to the audience.

And people will start referring you because of your trust in them.

 

7. Be Familiar- Familiarity helps brands that are well established and have gained people’s minds. But for the new businesses, it is a little difficult. So, you need to present yourself related to your industry and add valuable content to the audience. Keep the design, the theme of your site as it is still the consumer gets familiar with you. Define in which area does your brand stands.

 

ask your audience

8. Ask your audience- Share surveys with your audience, include some relevant questions like what type of person you are? Which problems are you facing or what makes you feel good when you buy from us? The answers are valuable for you as you will know how they think of your brand and how you can improve.

You can now speak their language and understand their pain points. Most of them don’t ask so they don’t get the answers. Just try this technique and your brand surely progresses.

 

9. Something for Something- Give your customers some free stuff like a mini-course, access to your newsletter, or a free subscription. Remember, you are not giving this for free, it has some value and you expect to do business with them.

Giving such surprizes makes the consumer excited and if he finds it valuable, he will definitely buy from you. And when you include some extra bonuses with the product it becomes more valuable as the buyer thinks that I am getting this for a low price.

In Which Area are you making your Brand the Best one?

In Which Area are you making your Brand the Best one?

The word Position means in which area does your brand stands within the industry. Before coming to the topic (positioning). Let’s discuss some main points which you need to consider.

What change are you going to make? Do you want to change your manufacturing process and make it easy for people to buy your products or do you want to encourage the importance of Ayurvedic to be healthy? Define your change.

Whom you are going to change? Select the specific audience with similar psychographics and telling stories that relate to your brand. Your audience should tell similar stories that make them together and differs from others.

 

How Positioning can make Massive Growth in your business?

Positioning your brand means in which area are you standing in your industry irrespective of the competition. Here, competition doesn’t matter, I will tell you why. Maruti Suzuki cars are known for a low price and high quality, it’s a family car. Whereas, Tesla is known for highest security and environment friendly. So, when you think of buying a car that doesn’t harm the environment it will be Tesla. And buying a great car for your family with a low budget it will be Maruti Suzuki.

So, you can position your brand in terms of safety, best service, largest franchise, or fast delivery.

 

What type of story does your audience tell to themselves?

Understand your audience’s behaviour and see what type of story they tell and make them together. This will help you to position your brand based on those stories. If your audience wants to feel secure, well-treated, or have a memorable experience from your service, you should give them the experience that they want.

Make your story a hook- Tell the people how you are going to make the change happen and be different from others. Be passionate about your work because you are not just seeing the personal benefit but also the benefit of society. Create tension in the market by ensuring the highest security, elegant design, or your unique value. And when they see no alternatives, it will create a forward motion and the more people you attract.

Encourage Affiliation- Instead of being dominant in the market, make a community and educate them. Start with small, by building relationships and then after adding enough value. They will become your loyal customer and promote you everywhere. You can incentivize them, conduct contests, and help them to achieve what they want.

 

right audience

 

You will Reach the Right People

By telling the stories that your audience wants to hear, you will attract a lot more. If one strategy didn’t work try another and keep experimenting. If your brand is strong enough and has trust, you don’t need to spend much on advertising. But to gain initial trust and attention you can spend more on advertising but here also frequency matters. Run your ads until people get your message.

Make your online presence and be specific in your niche. So, that when people search you on the web, you rank no.1. One more thing to remember is starting with the small market and winning your true fans from this market. These true fans will be like your loyal customer who will buy your high-margin products and make you enough profit. After winning this audience you can apply the same steps for a big market and expand further.

But how you will know that your product is worth buying. The public will tell you by spreading your word, making it remarkable, and move your mission ahead.

 

build your tribe

 

Build Your Own Tribe

To lead a tribe don’t be a commander instead first be like them. Do what they do, feel alike, and make them feel that you are not different from them. They also can achieve what you have achieved. And now give them a call to action to start something that they want.

Don’t use the tribe for your aims instead be with them and understands their fears and goals and help them to achieve. Be committed to them forever because they are waiting for such people who commit to us. If you stay long with your tribe and nurture them consistently you will earn a lot than others.

I hope you have understood something about positioning and people. Share your thoughts on which area you are going to position yourself. Thank you for reading my article!

 

How you can Build a Great Wealth Without Doing Much Things- Morgan Housel

How you can Build a Great Wealth Without Doing Much Things- Morgan Housel

The Psychology of MoneyMorgan Housel is a book to understand how your mind behaves when you have more money and when you are struggling with financial problems. This book will tell you how to do your financial planning and achieve the ultimate independence.

 

Main Key-Lessons from this Book

 

Different Choices of everyone- When it comes to financing, for some people the financial decision will make sense but not for others. While investing in the stock market in your early 20s makes totally sense but it may not be a good decision for others. Based upon their financial situations they will use the money for other decisions.

But whatever decision you take, it should be contributing to your financial independence (because that’s the end goal).

 

compounding effect

The Compounding Effect- When you start early to invest your money in stock, bonds, or any other assets. You get more benefit from others because you started early and you get a first-mover advantage. Like Warren Buffet did when he started from childhood. So, he’s more wealthy than others even if others are more skilled than him.

 

Getting Wealthy & Staying Wealthy- Getting wealthy is one part and staying wealthy is another part. When you get wealthy, there are chances that you can become more greedy. That’s the worst part. Greed is good but over greed can lose your everything. If your income increases, then you can increase your investments. So, make a rule for investing your money and follow that rule. And you will be wealthy by being disciplined.

But what actual wealth is?

Wealth is something you don’t see because while it’s not important, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on unnecessary things. Rich people buy things that make them feel good. But the wealth of wealthy people is hidden in the form of investments, retirement plans, and strong financial assets. Wealthy people also spend like rich ones but their wealth is much bigger, which we cannot see.

And to build great wealth you just need to invest your money and sit back and let your money compound. You will enjoy the returns after some years, that’ the amazing results of being patient.

 

Being Satisfied- Investing in a disciplined way and being patient is essential to get wealthy. Wanting more can make things riskier than what you have. So, don’t risk the things you have in pursuit of wanting more. If you don’t need more and when it’s not important then don’t take unmanageable risks. After all your family members, happiness and satisfaction are the most important.

 

Ignore other People’s opinions- When it comes to investing your money in stocks or any other bonds. Don’t follow experts’ advice because what they are telling might not be suitable for you. As they are addressing to everyone, not specifically for you. After hearing the experts analyze by yourself and ask, is it worth investing? Don’t follow the crowd instead play your own game by giving the right advice to yourself.

This book teaches you more amazing lessons than this. Great examples and behaviour of people towards money have been clearly explained in this book. I would recommend you to read this book if you want to build sustainable wealth.

How Telling Stories can Attract many Consumers?

How Telling Stories can Attract many Consumers?

I think you are astonished by seeing the title of the book i.e All Marketers are Liars. Seth Godin has beautifully explained that how marketers tell stories and how the consumers believe them. Every brand tells a specific story that is accepted by the people. So, in this book, you will know how you can tell a story that others believe.

 

Why Stories are great for marketers?

Marketers tell a story about theirs. product. Stories give a new position to their products. And by believing that stories consumers interpret in different ways that make them feel differently. A marketer’s job is not only to tell the story but also to make it real and spread effectively.

By telling an authentic story, consumers feel the real experience from the story. And they pay as much they can to feel the experience. So, I think you have understood why stories work best. Now we will discuss how you can tell a story that consumers believe. But before framing a story you have to remember certain things.

1) Make your own story that matches your audience’s worldview. Select a different audience from your competitor. Don’t steal the story instead create your own and spread it widely.

2) Tell stories that are authentic and beneficial to the audience. Don’t try to use the people for your selfish purpose. It’s ok to sell the product for a higher price but not to make people indulge in wrongful activities.

3) Don’t try to prove the people wrong. Consumers don’t try to change their worldviews instead make their worldview stronger with your story.

Selecting an audience- First, find an audience that is having a worldview that matches the story you want to tell. If the consumers are already having a worldview just see if it matching to your story. Otherwise, leave that group.

 

Designing your Story- Your story is the image of your brand that consumers tell themselves. So, it’s important to design a good story. Consumers don’t see how your product is built or how useful it is. They see how it makes me feel good, consumers buy wants not needs.

When you frame a story, you need to tell yourself, how you feel by telling that story. Then you need to spread it by living with that story constantly. Consumers buy emotionally not rationally. Even though your stress more on benefits, and uses among all stories work the best.

 

Making an authentic story- Telling a story is not enough until you make it real. If I said to you that the house you are buying looks more beautiful when there are flowers and grasses around. Or If I said to you that the color of your house needs to change every 2 years to see something new. 

What I had told you, is totally true and you believe in it. You are sure will going to have a garden around your house or changing the outlook. More and more people will follow this when these people try to tell their friends and my word will spread automatically. This is the power of an authentic story. But if the story is not authentic, people will not believe in your lie.

The story you tell people must include in your product. Product makers must be informed that including the story in the product can help people believe in you easily. By making a great story, you can fix the product price as high as you want because people will believe that such an experience could get only from you.

 

Treat people differently- While telling the story you need to tell the stories only to those who have a similar worldview. Telling everyone will not work because everyone has different worldviews.

So, before building a great product. Make a classic story that matches the consumer’s worldview and include this story in your product. Spread your idea effectively and live it.

Seth Godin has explained each & every chapter in detail with amazing examples and case studies. This book also contains the big mistakes to avoid and how to tell the story effectively.

I hope you have liked the article on marketing your product effectively. I truly say marketing is my favourite topic to write about and I love to share my knowledge with others.

How Investing in Stocks can Make you Financially Free?

How Investing in Stocks can Make you Financially Free?

When it comes to investing in the stock market, everyone ignores it and puts their money in other investment options such as gold, mutual funds, or real estate. They have a fear of losing their money in the stock market. But why they are having such blind beliefs? So let’s understand in detail.

 

#1 Ignorance about Investment options:

We are taught in our childhood and our parents also recommend investing in reals estate, FDs, or mutual funds that are safer options for investing. So, we also try to invest according to what our parents say but we are losing a golden opportunity to earn a big fortune. (I will this in detail in further part)

 

#2 Stock Market is a Gamble:

Those who have half knowledge and invest in the stock market by hearing just news and insider’s information, for the stock market is a gamble. But for others, it’s a money-making machine because of their intelligence.

 

#3 Only rich people can earn money in the stock market:

Some people believe that only rich people who are having secret information can make huge money. But it’s not about rich and poor it’s about the mindset you have towards others. Rich and poor both can build a great fortune by using their knowledge and becoming an informed & intelligent investors.

 

Why only Share market and not other options?

You may ask me what’s special about this. It’s a money-making machine and everybody can earn huge profits from it. People are just ignoring this golden opportunity and trying to invest their harden money in mutual funds or FDs.

Most people want safer options that will give them good returns after some years. But you will not believe that the money you invest here will get the highest returns only by using your knowledge. Some try to go on the road that was taken before, but very few invest in self-education and find a way that was not taken before. By investing in a small amount (5000) monthly your portfolio worth can become more than 10 crores in 4 to 5 years.

 

Which is the reliable source?

So, it’s all about having the right knowledge from the right person who will guide you in the right direction and shares his experience transparently. In this period, it’s very difficult to find such a reliable source from which you can learn these things and start investing wisely.

But I have found a reliable source. Mr. Sagar Dodega an Ex-IES Officer, my mentor of share market whom I have learned a lot of things and the mistakes to avoid. He also has his own youtube channel- CIVIL BEINGS. I have purchased this course from the Indian Skills Academy app (available on play store) build by him. Start your investing journey with this course. You can achieve your financial freedom and do what you want. This course will remove the fear of investing from your mind.

The value you will get is just amazing at a much affordable price. By doing this course, you will understand the different market terms and you can interpret the news also. You can also go for other sources according to your choice but I will recommend the above course to you.

 

Some Bonus Tips on Investing:

  • Having control over greed, patience and investment are necessary for investing. Long-term trade (for 6 – 9 months) can make huge profits than short term. Never invest without studying the company. Incomplete knowledge and over greed can lead to big losses.

 

  • Keep a diversified portfolio to minimize your losses. Keep a separate Demat a/c for long-term investments and another for the short term.

 

  • Take news from authentic sources like Economic Times. Read articles on ET Markets.

 

  • Always keep learning from big investors like RJ, Radhakrishna Damani, and many others. As it is said, ‘Money in the Brain grows faster than in the Banks

 

  • Never invest when there is extreme greed in the market. Invest at the lowest point and sell at the highest.

 

  • Use tools like- Tickertape, trading view, upstox or Zerodha, and MS Excel to track your portfolio.

All these things should be taught to students in school & colleges because these investment plans and financial management should be learned by everyone. If our youth learn to invest wisely then our Indian economy can grow consistently.

 

Final Words:

I hope you have understood the power of investing and making huge profits. I also tell you that cryptocurrency is not recommended because it is not regulated by India, no intrinsic value, and there is no existence of it. So, basically I don’t invest in cryptocurrency and why not to buy our Indian stocks and grow our country.

If you are a student and don’t have enough money, you can take pocket money from your parents or learn a skill, do freelancing, teach others and invest them into stocks. Adapt good and new habits to leave the bad habits, as understanding & managing the finance must be learned by everyone. It’s a need of the hour, so to become financially free is the topmost priority. I hope, you have understood what I told you. But you need to take action to grab the full benefits.

Start your journey by opening your Demat a/c and invest wisely. Thank you for reading my article! Happy Investing.

15 Amazing Sales Strategies to Boost your Sales

15 Amazing Sales Strategies to Boost your Sales

If you are facing a problem in the selling process then I will tell you some amazing sales strategies that are helpful in this Digital age for any business.

What I will cover in this post:

 

  1. Product Knowledge and Conviction
  2. Importance of Relevancy
  3. Average Handling Time
  4. BANT Sales Technique
  5. Starting and Ending Special
  6. Don’t let the Leads get Cold

  12. Benefits to Employees and Flexible Payment options
  13. Employees Performance, Network, and Guarantees
  14. Kill the objection in advance
  15. PR Strategy and Generating Passive Income

 

Product Knowledge and Conviction- You must have a strong conviction and knowledge about your product. If you believe that it can solve the buyer’s problem then you can convince this. But without believing and not having proper knowledge you cannot sell. A clear explanation about your product, its benefits, and features, and what value the product will give to the buyer. This explanation makes the customer purchase the product.

 

Importance of Relevancy- Just remember the last Facebook or Google ad you have seen. The ad was relevant to your interest and behavior. The same thing matters here, sell things only to those people who want them. People like to customize recommendations and so relevancy matters a lot.

 

Average Handling Time- Get the average time required to invest in each customer. This will increase your efficiency and saves time. Give training to your employees, listen to their recordings, give them the materials, resources, and proper guidance for selling.

 

BANT Sales Technique- Bant stands for Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline. Identify that whether the customer has the budget to buy your product. How big his need is, whether he is the authoritative person and at what time he has to buy the product. This will increase your sales effectiveness and focus on potential customers.

 

Keep the Starting and Ending Special- Start the meeting with an unusual statement that will make the buyer interested in your product. And end the meeting with a powerful statement to make the customer remember you even after the meeting.

 

Don’t let the Leads get cold- Nurture your leads regularly, build relationships with them and make a strong communication. Because if you let the leads go cold, it makes it difficult to revive them. So, update them with your quality content and offers.

 

customer service

 

Customer Service- Take feedbacks from customers. Higher the no. of feedbacks higher will be your chances of improvement. You can take this feedback through a website, survey, polls, or sending emails. Focus on making a promoter for your business. Talk to the customers who have problems related to your brand and give them some benefits to regain. Track how satisfied the customer is and care for them.

 

Backword Close Approach- In this strategy, when you start the meeting. You don’t start to sell first, start with the background of the product like ask the client to whom this product is suitable or what will be the product’s impact on different businesses. By doing this you will get some referrals and the buyer will also some type of extra benefit. Referrals are important for the business to expand your list.

 

Soft Close Approach- In soft close, you ask some low-impact questions to customers like do you want more information about this product. This will help you to understand the buyer and you also get a chance to explain the product.

 

Get Solutions to your Product- Identify the objections of your product that customers tell you like low quality or high price. Get the solutions to such problems and tell this solution in your product explanation. By this, you don’t leave an excuse for the buyer to avoid your product.

Understand the problems, needs, behaviour, and attitude of the buyer to make strong relationships.

 

Avoid calling the customer for a short period of time. By doing this your customer will automatically come behind you ( as he will think something is missing). Identify the best time to offer your product that the customer needs to invest in you. For example; Sales of Online Courses and workshops have grown massively in lockdown.

 

Importance of Visual- In the selling process, your vocal and visual matter the most. In vocal, your tone, excitement, voice modulation, and attitude matter the most. And in visual, your body language, impression, and facial expression impact most on the customer.

 

Confuse the Customer- If you want to sell a product that is difficult to sell. To make it easy recommend the product that you need to sell. And tell the disadvantages of other products, so that the buyer will think that you are recommending the best one to me.

 

Build your Brand Advocates- Brand advocates are those who will promote your brand everywhere. In this you don’t need many employees and ad expenses, your own customer will bring more customers to you. For this, you need to give consistent value to customers. The higher the brand advocacy ratio better will be the growth of sales.

 

Consumer Research- In-depth research of customer will make you clear that how the customer is. Take information like shopping habits, his likes & dislikes, profession, goals, lifestyle, attitude, and behavior. This will help you to design your product according to your target audience. By seeing the data you will know the demand for a product and the problem it will solve.

 

Solved their problems at the first call. Publish the FAQs on your site to solve the common issues. Don’t let the customer wait for your call, solve it immediately.

 

discount

 

Discount on Product- a) Loyalty discount: Give a discount to loyal customers who always share their experience with others. Give them the Exclusive membership or an extra benefit.

b) Promotional Discounts- Give this discount at the end of the product use. Offer this during Big events or on Festival days. In these times Buy one Get one Free work well.

c) Volume Discount- This discount is given when anyone purchases products in bulk quantity. In this, the buyer gets at the discounted price and he will again refer you because of the value received. And your brand gets viral.

d) Early Bird Discount- This discount is only for the buyers who are excited about your new products.

e) Flash Sales- This discount is for a limited time period on special occasions like Independence Day. Provide a good discount, set a limited period to create urgency and this would sell your old products. Spread the news at the right place, time, and to the right people.

Discounts of coupons are famous on social media. You can also partner with other brands to give such coupons. But remember, whenever you give any discounts, it should not lower your profit.

 

Give Benefits to Employees- This technique works when employees work above their capacity. You can give them benefits in the form of the special training program, workshop, bonus on output or time based, and extra commission if they get the big deal. This would encourage them to work better and productivity increases.

 

payment options

 

Flexible Payment Options- Give many payment options to the customer. If the buyer doesn’t have a credit card, there should be a facility for online payments like UPI, Digital Wallets, EMIs, or Net banking. By giving more options you are solving the buyer’s problem.

 

Guarantees to Customer- Product or money-back guarantee make the customer feel that they are transacting at zero risks. So, it gives a boost to sales. Guarantee for 30 days, 1 month or 1 year, higher the guarantee higher will be your sales. You can also offer a zero guarantee if your product is good.

 

Track the Employee Performance- You must see in your CRM tool that how many leads your employees have converted and which are not converted. This will give you an idea of which employee to focus on. Leads are important for business and they should not get wasted. Check your Sales Funnel and employee’s performance to take further action.

 

Network- Build a strong network for your company. Like build the gap between buyers and suppliers at a single marketplace and this will increase your sales. Uber and Zomato have done this. They have built the gap between the customers and service providers and having a great network.

An additional suggestion I can give you that make use of technology. Without technology, businesses cannot survive. It will help you to manage everything without even worrying about your stock. Today, there are many software such as Marg ERP that can make your business flow smoothly and you can track all the records. This software also gives you behaviour forecasting of your buyer that which item to recommend to your customers based on their purchase.

 

Kill the objection in advance- List down the objections of your product and make the solutions against these objections. Listen to the genuine opinion of your customer then tell your solutions for the objections. Listen carefully to what problem he is mentioning, acknowledge that then clear all his objections with your solutions. This makes a clear path to buy your product.

 

public relations

 

PR Strategy- Public relations are a great way to bring traffic to your business. You can use social media by posting relevant content for more participation, make a viral campaign based on your type of business, and invite an influencer for your business. This can attract a new audience, investors, potential clients and increases your brand awareness.

 

Generating Passive Income- Passive is the best strategy to increase your sales without any extra cost. Make a subscription-based model, own different companies, take royalties on your product. Make sure that this gives you sustainable income, increase & immediate cash flow and you don’t have to manage fully.

 

These were the amazing sales strategies to maximize your sales. You also need to do a proper competition analysis in the sales process. And use the above strategies to grow your business. I hope you have liked them. Share your thoughts in the comment section and tell me your favourite strategy.

16 Valuable Life-Lessons Learned from these Books- You Must See

16 Valuable Life-Lessons Learned from these Books- You Must See

If you are just reading the books and not implementing the lessons that it contains, then what’s it use?

Taking immediate action after reading the books is important. Otherwise, you will read a lot and gain knowledge. But the knowledge is useless until you use it. So, in this post, I will tell you some important learnings from the books I have read. You also have to learn, implement and progress.

 

Below is the list of books I have read:

 

mindset

 

Keeping the Right Mindset- Mindset helps you achieve what you want and sometimes gives you more than you expect. A mindset of achieving higher goals keeps you uncomfortable. If you think small, you will achieve less and there is no enjoyment in achieving small things. Before winning the game you need to win yourself.

So, think that everything is possible to do and I have the full potential of achieving my goals.

 

Live your life to the Fullest- Never compromise with your life. If you don’t like your job just leave it and follow your passion. Because in the long term your work will not feel like work, you will enjoy the process of earning money. Doing a job whole life and just waiting for retirement will not work. Build your business, make passive incomes and let the money work for you.

You should have the freedom to live the life you want. For that, you need to achieve your F.U Money and build your business around your passion.

 

Financial Knowledge- Having financial knowledge is the need for today’s world. If you make some money, you must know where to invest and make good returns. Knowledge about how money works and how it can work for you is necessary. What is the importance of money and how you can manage it? This can be learned from Rich Dad Poor Dad.

 

Learning from Failure and taking Further Steps- Failure is good. It shows that you are trying something and making mistakes. If you face failure and learn from it, you will get success. If you make some big mistakes you can tell others and their time will be saved. So, mistakes help you to go further and they benefit others as well.

 

Investing in your Mind- Your Mind is Your Greatest Asset. Upgrading your mind daily and sharing your learning with others is the best way of learning. Sharing knowledge with others, helps you grow more. Learning new things and using them will make your mind more flexible (find many solutions to one problem). You can achieve your goals at a faster rate. So, Spend like a Beggar but Invest Like a King.

 

courage

 

Patience and Courage- Patience is important in life. It defines how long you can wait to get the results. Impatience causes problems and you will lose some golden opportunities. So, in every aspect of life patience plays a crucial role.

Courage to take action and big risks. Have the courage to dream big and choose the road from which very few people have gone. Courage helps you to try different things, follow your passion and think differently than others.

 

Importance of Personal Brand- Build your personal brand will take some time. By adding enough value and solving others’ problems. It will help you everywhere and you can get paid for your authority in the market.

 

Building your Self-Confidence – Remember, Communication = Wealth. There are 4 levels of communication; Basic, Professional, and Leader. But there is one more level that is the Influencer. Influencers are highly paid to promote big brands. And to reach that level you need strong communication skills. Communication skills did not come under soft skills, they are the most important in building your brand as well.

 

Give and Forget- Whatever you have got or have extra with you. You need to give to others who don’t have anything. Don’t expect any returns from them just give and forget. By giving to the world you become a producer and not a consumer. Sharing is caring. The more you give, the more you will have. (I have learned this from Dev Gadhvi)

 

Be Responsible and take Actions- Being responsible for your actions is important otherwise you will blame others for your mistakes. So, actions are important to achieve the goals but taking responsibility for your success is equally important.

 

Moderate Yourself- Moderation towards your behavior, habits, and actions is important to ensure that you are going in the right direction or not. See that your every activity contributes something to your goal and you are consistently trying to achieve them. Get your monthly goals and see whether they have been achieved or not. If not, take Massive Actions. This gives you a signal on which area to improve.

 

Value your Time and Increasing Productivity- Spending your time carelessly will not work. Make your priorities in a day and complete them anyhow. Slot your work in specific time periods and utilize your free time. Time allotted for specific work and working without any distractions will increase your productivity. Make your own rules. For example- No phone calls after 9 pm or No usage of mobile phones during office time.

 

health is wealth

 

Health is Wealth- By only being healthy you can enjoy your wealth and live the life you want. Maintain your health by exercising, walking or swimming anything you love to do. Because if your health is poor then you can’t give 100% to achieve your goals.

 

Follow your passion and let the Money follow you- Doing what you love to do and fulfilling your desires. This can attract money towards you. If you don’t focus on money, you will make a lot of money. Your primary focus should be making your dreams real and taking action. So, money will not be a problem for you.

 

Associates and Mentors- Choosing the right associates that push you out of your comfort zone and help you achieve what you want. This kind of associate is great for anybody that co-operates and helps each other every time.

Having the right mentor that guides you in the right way and who focuses on increasing your ability. He should have wide knowledge on the subject, be experienced, and genuinely helping others. These are the qualities of good mentors. Mentors help you to achieve your goals in a faster way because of their experience in their field.

 

Leave a Legacy Behind you- It is not necessary to build a legacy like Mahatma Gandhiji. You can build a legacy in your family, around a small group of people, or in your own country. People should remember you for years and years even after your death. You need to transform other’s life and make a better place to live.

 

I hope you have understood some important lessons and I am expecting that you will also implement these lessons in your life. And take charge of your life. Picking random books will not help you, read the books related to your goal.

Be a focused learner because earning is hidden in learning. Thank you for reading my article! See you in the next blog post.

Great Impact can Come from a Killer Copy. Follow this Steps

Great Impact can Come from a Killer Copy. Follow this Steps

What role does communication play in copywriting?

 

Communication is the most important element in copywriting as it makes your copy unique. Great copywriters are good communicators. Anyone will love the company of such copywriters because of their effective communication skills. So, every copy should communicate well with the audience to tell their message. So, let’s discuss this in detail.

 

How Effective Communication can make your Copy Unique?

 

The communication contains 4 elements that are Sender, Receiver, Message, and Feedback. While sending the ads on the internet or any medium, audience feedback is important. Because based on that feedback you can make further responding ads and that will make a complete loop.

Your message should be clear, impactful, simple with a CTA. As consumers go through thousands of ads in a day, so you need to create a strong impact to make them remember. For example, The ad was given below.

 

mercedes ad

 

There should be no Clutter between your ads. Your message should be short to remember easily and something unusual. The CTA in your ad can be visiting your store, subscribing, or commenting on your post. Ask some questions, or tell some story to the consumers to get more feedbacks and create engagement. Ask what the audience wants, solve their problems, and give them new content based on their feedback.

So, whenever you create a new post or an ad. Talk to the user directly, make them engage, and solve their problems by giving the perfect solution.

 

Communication on Social Media- When you post an ad, offer, or any other content based on audience feedback. That’s complete the loop. When you cannot give something new and different from others, just present or say it differently as this ad did. Or post something of current news. (2nd is the example based on current news)

 

 

Volkswagen ad

What are the Things to avoid during Communication?

1) Just remember you are not for everyone. You target only a specific group of people and you make an impact on only those people. If you target everyone, your message could not be delivered to your main audience and everyone’s problem will not be solved. So, just target your main audience and influence them.

 

2) Tell everything about your product to your audience. If your product is expensive you must give them detailed information and build trust with them. Without doing this your product will not sell. Explain them how the features of your product can benefit them. Never hesitate to write a long copy if your product is expensive. Below is an example of it. They have explained why their product’s price is so high.

 

rolls royce ad

 

3) If you lie with your audience, it can break your trust and relationships. Always be transparent with your audience, don’t break their trust. It can harm your brand. The credibility of your brand goes higher when you tell the truth.

 

4) Proofreading your copy is necessary to avoid grammar mistakes. Use tools like Grammarly to autocorrect your copy. As people can catch your mistake and avoid your copy. So, proofreading your copy before publishing can help you.

 

What are the things to follow in your copy?

1) Make your copy clear and simple to understand. There should be no doubt in consumer’s minds about your product. Your ad should understand at the first glimpse but how you gonna create an impact on people. Let’s see.

 

2) Unique copy means telling the audience that they have not heard before and there should be a WOW! moment in them. You should create at least 2 such moments to make your copy stand out. Below is an example of it.

 

3) Use Multimedia in your copy. We understand quickly by seeing pictures and videos. So, a copy with images, videos, or infographics can grab the user’s attention. Relate with your audience, communicate well about your product and break clutter to spread your main message.

 

4) You can break some grammar rules and tell your message as it is without following some rules. While communicating you don’t need to be perfect. You are communicating to explain your product, so write as you speak. Make shorter sentences to stay in flow and it will be more conversational.

 

So, Whenever you write a copy, communication plays a big role. To avoid mistakes during communication go through the above points and make a strong connection with the audience.

I will be giving some more amazing techniques on copywriting in the next post. Thank you for reading my article!

9 Important Lessons Learned about Money – F.U Money

9 Important Lessons Learned about Money – F.U Money

Do you want to achieve financial freedom and work from anywhere you want?

Do you want to do what you love and enjoy your time with your family?

Do you want to be your own boss, travel around the world and let the money should work for you?

This book F.U Money is totally based on these topics. The author Dan Lok tells us in this book that to achieve our F.U Money, you need to make certain changes in yourself to live the life you want.

But what is F.U Money? F.U Money is the money you need to achieve your financial freedom, be independent, and do what you wish to do. And build the business that will serve you endlessly. The main purpose of business is to make your F.U money and not just providing jobs to others (that’s the side benefit of it). So, let’s discuss some important lessons from this book.

 

9 Important Lessons from this book

 

1. Change your Mindset- To achieve the F.U money you need to change your mindset. Think I can achieve the goals and everything is possible. If rich people can do this, why cannot? Mindset requires everywhere because this is the first step that you must believe in yourself. And you will not compromise on the things that you don’t like. Why not live life to the fullest? If you follow your dreams money will follow you.

The purpose of becoming financially free is not to think about money when it comes to going on a vacation, giving your child the best education, or saving someone’s life. So, money is important in life but there’s a limit to its importance.

 

work hard

 

2. Work Hard in the Right Direction- Just think working harder and harder day by day, will you achieve your F.U money? No, because you don’t know in which direction you are going. Working hard on the right things can get your F.U money faster. Use other people’s knowledge, experience, and expertise to build your product and serve you a lifetime. Having great financial knowledge & intelligence about money can make your journey faster.

 

3. How Rich People Think- You need to change your perspective towards rich people. Don’t blame the rich people, learn from them, what actions did they take and what was their thinking about money. Learn from those people who have created a legacy and changing the lives of thousands of people. For example Bill Gates and Ratan Tata. Read books, enroll in self-development courses, and indulge in those activities that contribute to your F.U money.

 

4. Achieve your F.U money in less time- You can faster your journey to make your F.U money. Leave the mindset that to become rich takes many years, you can get rich in 3- 4 years by taking massive actions and building your business. Saving your money and leaving below your means can’t make you rich. Make high-return investments and talk to rich people who have done this before.

Learn to manage risks and take massive actions at your early ages because those are the best years to chase your dreams and make them a reality.

 

 

5. Just take action- You don’t want to be perfect to start something. Just start, make mistakes and learn from your mistakes. You will gradually progress. If you wait to be everything perfect then the time will pass out and you will regret it later. So grab the opportunity, work on it and make it a massive success. You will know what’s working and what not and in which thing you are interested in only by working on something, taking action. And learning from your experiences.

 

6. Be responsible for your actions- Whatever you do to in your journey to achieve your goals. You are totally responsible for everything and not others. Your progress is the result of your actions. There should be a strong desire that will push you daily to do your work and achieve what you want. Remind your mind constantly about your goals and become obsessed to achieve them.

 

productivity

 

7. Value your time and increase your Productivity- Respecting your time and managing yourself with the time is the main thing on which you need to focus on. Calculate your hourly income based on your monthly income and start increasing it. By this, you can find the value of 1 hour and helps you to decide on which activity to spend the time on. Outsource the work to save your time ( I mean money). Find in which timings you are productive and work during that hours without any distractions. Because you will be focused and you can achieve your daily income goals.

 

8. Making money online- Having your online presence, a quality email list, and serving other people through the internet is necessary for this digital age. A website that gives enough information about you, your products, and adding value to the people is important. Otherwise, you will lose a big audience. Build authority in the market by publishing some books, giving valuable tips, and solving other’s problems. Because the power of the internet is massive and you must utilize it. Automate your business and let the business work for you.

Focus on building a passive income through the internet. Like making coaching programs, publishing books on kindle, investments, and affiliate marketing, etc. This product requires not much work but gives a return forever. Find which products are in demand to make them.

 

9. Just focus on one thing- Indulging in many businesses will not work because you are not focussing on one thing to get big. Create multiple income streams from one business and focus on creating assets. Building your own business is the best way to make your F.U money. Leverage other people’s time to save your money.

You can achieve your F.U money by taking massive action and making changes in yourself. This is a great book to change your financial situation and take control of your life. Excuses don’t work but taking action and making mistakes would make progress in you.

8 Proven Techniques to make your Copy more Interesting

8 Proven Techniques to make your Copy more Interesting

For whom this post is for…

If you are a small business owner and have frustrated with your copy because of no sales.

If you are a big business owner then these basics of copywriting can make your copy more interesting.

If you are a copywriter and not finding your way to an amazing Million-Dollar copy then this will work.

If you are a blogger just want to improve your copywriting skills for your website then you are at the right place. So, let’s dive into our copywriting formula.

 

1. Headlines- Most of the copies remain unopen because of the low-grade headline. So, more attention should be given to headlines where the reader should feel something interesting, exciting or a surprise gift for him.

You can include humor or a powerful quote in the headline. Or asking a powerful question where no one talks about it. Statistics work because it gives credibility to your headline and it generates more open rates. Telling about current events can also work because people want something new and interesting. If you add listicles in your headlines include odd numbers to grab attention. Headlines with ‘Even if you or Without’ also work well.

Examples of great headlines can be found below:

  • 5 Simple Techniques to Increase your work Efficiency.
  • How to earn $13,500 or more a day using a simple one-page website with 1 hour of work a day.
  • 7 Reasons why your Content doesn’t get Viral
  • Are you tired of a 9-5 job and want to do what you love to do then book your seat now!
  • How to Start Investing Even if you don’t have enough money?

 

2. Story-  Why do you write a story in your copy?

To generate relatability with your audience. In the story, you don’t have to tell about yourself. A story about your product that is relatable to the people works well. Relatability helps the user to read your copy further and this shows that you understand the user’s problem.

 

3. Content- The main purpose of content is to generate credibility by adding more value to the audience. Here comes, convincing your reader that your product is the perfect solution for the problem. For that, you need to give enough information about the product, its USP and show some proven results, testimonials of successful customers, Awards, and recognition. Stay organized and explain through diagrams.

 

4. Visual Flow & Linear Thinking- Visual Flow matters a lot in copy as this decides that your copy will be read or not. Here’s an example for you. In the below image the user can easily read and understand.

 

linear thinking

 

Linear thinking means presenting your product information in bullet points or a step-by-step method. This technique helps the reader to remember the points quickly and understandable. By this, clarity comes into the user’s mind about your product.

 

5. Not Having a Killer Offer- For the product to be sold the offer should be unique and interesting for the user. He should feel like I am getting more than what I have paid. Show a clear pathway that gives the buyer what he wants and helps him to achieve that.

Great offers will surely lead the customer to buy the product. Including bonuses and gifts in your offer can increase your conversion rate.

 

6. E-mail Copy- Subject line of the email should interest the reader to open the email because the subject line determines whether your email will get opened or not. Irrespective of the quality of the email your write. Keep your headlines short. Be specific and use symbols in your headlines.

Create a connection and be personal in the body copy. Ensure that your email doesn’t go into the spam folder. Show proper CTAs and relevant links. While educating the audience in the email make clear what the audience needs to do further.

An email with a story builds a relationship with the users. For that you need to set up the environment, express emotions, tell the events in series, and come to the main point. But, what’s there for the user? Tell what lesson you have learned and what the user has to do. Then relate it to the story. Explain your product on a sales page, not in the email.

 

7. Funnels-  What’s the Importance of Funnels in business?

Funnels help us to increase the conversion rate and decrease the ad cost. Funnels with the right offer can generate huge revenue in the business. So, the proper use of funnels is necessary for your business. I will tell you which type of funnels works well.

  •  Traditional Opt-in: It’s the traditional funnel but it works well. In this, you offer a free product for a name & email id. A low ticket offer is presented after the buyer has claim the free product. After that ask for a bump offer to add to the cart. Once the buyer purchases the program offers a  upsell of the product in which the buyer is interested. Instead of upselling you can also offer a down-sell because the upsell might be expensive for the buyer. Without having a upsell/down-sell you cannot make much money.

 

  • Webinar + Free Book: You drive the traffic from ads to your webinar page and offer a free book for a name & email id. And it’s a high-ticket webinar where you give valuable content and offer your high ticket product. Users will attract more because you are offering a physical copy of the book which gives instant gratification and your CTR increases.

 

  • Low Ticket Sales: In this funnel, you direct the traffic to a low ticket sales page. Then a Bump offers to add to the cart. Once he purchases, offer a upsell because you cannot make money just with low tickets as low tickets cost more money to drive traffic.

 

8. Mobile-optimized and Auditory rhythm- As more no. of people visit your site through mobile so the copy should be mobile-optimized with a flow in it. Ignoring this would lose your audience and the revenue.

In auditory rhythm, you have to read your copy aloud and ensure that your copy doesn’t get along, and avoid overusing commas. This is important to keep the simplicity and flow.

I hope you have got some new techniques for writing an interesting copy. Just reading will not get results, you need to implement these steps in your business to see good results.

Perfect Guide on Copywriting to Increase your Sales- Robert Bly

Perfect Guide on Copywriting to Increase your Sales- Robert Bly

The Copywriter’s Handbook is suitable for every person who is struggling to get more sales from the copy. Those who have started learning to Copywrite can have this book because it gives a clear step-by-step process for writing copy that sells. This is the updated fourth edition of this book because the way of presenting the copy has changed, advertising medium and buying process has changed. So what you can get from this book? Is it worth the investment?

Robert W. Bly has stated that the main purpose of the copy is to sell the product and not just entertaining or creating humour in the copy. How you convince the reader to spend their hard-earned money on your product that is copywriting.

 

The Main Key Points from this Book:

 

Headlines – The first thing the user will read is your headline. if your headline is not good enough he will not read the further copy. So, writing a headline that is unusual, controversial, surprising, specific, and interesting would work. Your headlines should represent a reward or solving a problem of the user. It can also be a powerful quote (below is the example), a question, or related to current events. So focus on your headline to get attention.

Every Successful Businessmen must be able to sell through the Art of the Written Word-  Anik Singal

Communication- The introduction of the copy should tell what the user will get by reading your copy. Include how your product can solve the consumer’s problem in simple words. Make bullet points to understand clearly what are the features and their benefits.

Use short sentences because it keeps the reader’s inflow. Include your Unique Selling Proposition in the copy that will make your brand stand out from others. USP makes the buyer more interested in your product.

 

blank page

 

Why your Page remains Blank?

When you start writing you don’t have any ideas and you cannot write further. I have a solution for you. Outline the copy and be ready with your research and materials. Write carelessly whatever information you have gathered from different sources. Once you have written that make a group of related points and then organize them in terms of their importance.

An outline gives you guidance on what to write next in sequential order. In this way by writing carelessly but editing carefully, your page will never be blank.

 

Writing your Copy- While writing your copy you should be done with the research of the product, customer problems, and the demand in the market. Introduction of the copy should represent, What’s in it for them? What the customer will get by reading your copy. The purpose of the story in the copy is to generate relatability with the user then prove your credibility in the content and confirm your sale by adding enough value.

The flow of the copy is important as it will make the user read the copy completely. For that, short sentences, changing fonts, underlines, and making bullet points is necessary so that visual flow will be maintained. Make it more visually appealing.

To maintain auditory rhythm read your copy twice before publishing it and see where the user gets disconnected and correct it. Have a strong Call to Action (CTA) with big size and bold letters. CTAs such as Learn more, Book a Free Call or Grab your Free Copy works better.

Making a killer offer such as a ‘50% Discount on Lamborghini’ with this offer if you make an emotional connection with the buyer he will surely make the purchase. Including bonuses such as ‘ 3 Year Warranty or Free Service for 8 months’ can make your offer more interesting. This will push the reader to buy because he is getting a great deal.

The length of your copy depends on your product price and its demand in the market. The higher the price higher the information you need to give them.

 

Writing E-mails – Again the headline of the email must be interesting, unique, and a reward for the user. Give attention to the preview text that will also determine the open rates. Tell what the e-mail is all about, give valuable content, tell stories and express emotions. Tell what is there for the important user, tell what the user needs to do that will solve his problems and avoid big mistakes. If you continuously send pitching emails your open rates will go down so keep in mind that.

 

landing pages

 

Writing Landing Pages- Landing pages are important for explaining what your offer is. You can direct the user from online ads to your landing page. Conversions of Landing pages can be increased by generating more credibility through showing testimonials of successful customers and proven techniques that have got great results.

Your offer should be unique that is worth the investment of the customer. ’30-Day Money Back Guarantee or Same Day Delivery’ can also work. Updating your Landing page frequently with current events is necessary for some products.

You can find a lot of information and techniques about copywriting in this book. I have just reviewed some main points so that you could understand what’s there in this book. Your sales through your copy will surely increase by reading this guide. Buy this Guide on Amazon. Thank you for reading my article!

Are you Interested in Learning Copywriting? This Guide will help you to Achieve

Are you Interested in Learning Copywriting? This Guide will help you to Achieve

A book for copywriters and beginners in copywriting those who want to learn how to write a copy that sells the products and learn the skill that can be useful to your business and other’s businesses also. So, what is there in this book?

I will highlight some main points from this book that will help you to decide whether to invest your money in this book or not.

 

Important Learnings from this Guide:

Before writing the copy you should have clear information about the product and also your customers. Because without understanding them your copy could not get into the flow and won’t sell many products. Then comes the time to offer the product that people will tell you whether they want it or not. Before offering the product take a test of the product in the market and see if there is a demand this could help you to avoid big losses.

 

Why would people read your copy?

There should be something in your copy that solves the people’s problem and a unique benefit that they will get from your product. So, at the start of the copy i.e, your headline should grab the attention by telling something unusual, creating curiosity, or a solution-oriented approach that will lead the user to read your copy.

 

CTA buttons

 

Your body copy should be simple, interesting, giving the solution to the problem, mentioning the benefits of your product, and with a CTA button for the people to take further action.

Then comes the length of the copy. The length depends on the product, if the product price is high and the emotion to buy the product is also high then the long copy will work. Short copy works when there is less involvement and fewer emotions towards the product.

Keep the words shorter, simple, and straightforward will reduce the time for the consumer to understand the product and there will be no clutter. You need to put the words that are in your mind on the paper. After some time trying to edit again and you will find some new ideas from your mind. This incubation process is well explained in this book.

Create scarcity for immediate action. Giving your audience something new and explaining to them how this product could change your life will interest the buyer to know more. While offering a product don’t offer too many varieties otherwise the buyer will confuse and buy none. So, offer more products at the last stage of booking in a catalog.

Mentioning credibility in your copy will reduce the questions in the consumer’s mind about your product. Because then only they can trust your brand for that show them some testimonials as people believe people.

You need to make your consumers believe that your product is worth its cost. They should feel guilty that why I didn’t buy the product? That’s when you feel that you have done some great work.

The buying environment is important because that can affect the buying decision. The perfect buying environment related to the product will definitely make a sale. So, you need to decide which environment to be created based on the product. You also need to serve the consumers well after the purchase as service matters. If you serve them well and keep them happy your brand will make a good reputation in the market and that’s the main element for every company.

Practicing writing copies will help you to build your copywriting skill. Because the more you practice the more you learn, what works and whatnot. Learn from other copywriter’s mistakes and also from your experience. Don’t just be an average copywriter, make your skills stronger by learning new things and share your knowledge with others.

This book contains a lot of ad examples that will give you some new ideas about writing copies differently. Joseph Sugarman has shared his experience of copywriting in this book and those who want to pursue this skill must buy this book.

And yes one more thing to remind you. Keep learning! 😊😊 Thank you for reading my article and I will soon review another guide on copywriting, so stay tuned!

How To Monetize Passion (In 1 Year) Irrespective Of Income, Skills Or Degree

How To Monetize Passion (In 1 Year) Irrespective Of Income, Skills Or Degree

6 Sundays A Week Life by Dev Gadhvi, the Best Selling Author of 80% Mindset 20% Skills a life-changing book for everyone. Dev Gadhvi was working 13+years in a corporate job, doing all the things which were told by his boss (irrespective of whether Dev liked it or not)

However, after meeting Grant Cardone & Dan Lok, he quit his job & started the Passionpreneur movement where he help 9-5 job workers build a profitable empire around their passion. Eventually, Dev sir has now built a multi-million dollar business & continuing his mission forward.

This is a bible of the step-by-step process which Dev sir followed to build such a massive empire.

 

What kind of Life are you living?

 

Imagine the daily 9 to 5 life and how boring it could be. Working for a specific time period and enjoying watching entertainment after reaching home. No time for self-development and not watching educational videos.

On the other hand, what would your Sunday look like, no daily meetings, or assignments, just following your passion. 6 Sundays a week refers to doing what you love to do wherever and with whomever you want. You will have to work but it will not feel like work you will enjoy and further build your business around it.

 

I know you cannot leave your job at present but you should have an idea about your passion, skills, and demand in the market. If you are passionate to help others with your skills and that has a demand in the market then it will work. So, while working in a job upgrade your skills, invest in yourself, and share your learnings with others through social media to gain trust and add value to the audience. You have to be ready with your skills and audience before you quit your job. So, things you should do before quitting your job are:

 

  • Publishing a Book and making it a Best Selling Author.

 

  • Having a strong base of an audience who are ready to invest in you for any of your products. This is your true fans.

 

  • Have your Youtube channel or any other platform where you already have a good following where you regularly post useful videos/posts for your audience.

 

  • Speaking with confidence at many workshops and webinars. Having a strong authority in your field.

 

Unique identity in the market where you are the only one who is a specialist in a particular field. I will explain to you in detail first, publishing your book means making your authority stronger instead of giving your visiting card you are giving a self-published book how would be the impression? Authoritative. 

Riches are not in niches. Micro-niches are the new currency. When you just tell “𝘐’𝘮 𝘢 𝘍𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 & 𝘕𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩” you’re being generic but when you tell…

‘𝘐 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘛𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘺𝘴 𝘛𝘰 𝘉𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘍𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘈𝘯𝘺 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘺 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨’ is more specific and the right kind of buyer you attract to your business. Eventually, you find your tribe and grow your business as well.

 

You have to be on Google because if you are selling a product then people will search for your product review. So, having a self-published book, Youtube channel, blog helps you to build your brand and trust with the audience. And people will be ready to invest in your product. You can charge the desired price for your product but its returns should be higher than its price. If you are changing somebody’s life then you have got a meaning and purpose to your life that what problems and mistakes you have done others should not do.

 

To keep the fire burning you have to follow some daily rituals where you have to write down your goals and thankful to god for giving you such a great life, imagine yourself achieving your desire, visualizing and living the things that you want then comes exercise for at least 30 mins and reading 1 book in a week.

 

 

monthly income

 

What about the monthly income?

You may ask what about the financial strength I will have when I will quit my job. So, for that you need to save some money aside to survive for basic needs, support of family and you need to test your skills in the market whether people are ready to pay your or not then only you will have the financial confidence within you.

 

In that period of quitting your job, you have to live below your means and have a minimum survival amount. Whenever you will have some extra money, invest that in yourself to take good returns. Find the person who has achieved what you want and learn from him to reach your goal faster.

How Low Cost Advertising can Increase your Revenue

How Low Cost Advertising can Increase your Revenue

Who doesn’t need Advertisements?

Advertisements are important for every business to build their brand and authority in the market. From strong branding and authority, the trust of the company in the eyes of people becomes stronger. So in this post, we will discuss how to make an advertisement that will lead to more conversions and the attention of the people.

 

Why Effective Advertising is Important?

While most of the businesses make such a simple ad which has no effect on the people and the ad expenses are gone in waste. So it is more important to study how one ad can make a huge turnover for the company. To make a memorable ad you need to understand your audience and design your ad according to them. Effective advertising can make engagement with the audience, drives traffic and creates a forward motion in the market, overall it is action-oriented and we need to use them in our favor.

The power of Effective marketing is great and you need to utilize it fully to get benefitted. I will discuss all of the methods for effective advertising and the mistakes done by most marketers while advertising their brands.

 

Types of Advertisements:

Features Oriented Advertisements:  Will you buy the product that have many features or the one that have the features plus benefits? Of course the one with many benefits. Some marketers tells only the features of the product and they lose the customers. I will give you more examples to make you clear. Below is one example which focusses more on features but not telling what we can get from the features. If you are telling the features and the benefits that the customer will get then he will definitely make a purchase.

 

features oriented

 

Advantages Oriented Advertisements: Basically, this kind of ads works in the market as the customer has a clear idea what he will get from it. I will show you some examples of such ads. Below is the example of iPhone that are telling their benefit in a simplest manner.

Benefits of Iphone

 

Another one if I am selling a Digital Marketing course people will ask me the benefits, that will be:

  • Get a High paying salary at anywhere.
  • Add an Additional Income for your family.
  • Learn from the Top Industrialists Experts.

These are the benefits you will get when you buy this course and there are a lot more than that. One more thing you can add to benefits like the Avoidance of Mistakes, people buy mistakes and can take action in the right direction. So, you can add all of these things to your ad.

Emotional Advertisements: Emotional advertisements works really great because they bring a emotional attachment with the audience and an emotional story gets fit in their mind. People don’t want the information about your product they want the feeling that they will get from it. Emotions are very powerful and people remember the brand which connects with their emotions. Emotional ads require less cost to make but it gets viral like anything due to strong emotions. Some of the examples are given below. An emotional ad made by Samsung results in an increase in their sales by making the audience feel responsible and helpful to others. You can too can make an emotional ad by identifying a strong emotion of your audience.

Some Examples of Excellent Advertisements:

The college students gift their professors a Titan Watch and the professor got emotional for showing so much of love. Titan is giving the experience of happiness for sharing love with others.

 

Above is the ad on google that tells us we can search anything on Google and get our solution and how wonderfully the two best friends had met each other. Google has touched the emotions of people and generated more than 150 billion dollars from one ad.

 

Above is the ad of Coca-Cola that focuses on sharing happiness with each other. They know their target audience and making such wonderful ads.

I hope you have understood on which type of ad to focus on and make your brand viral in the market. I will suggest you to read some books on advertising:

Read- 1) Ogilvy on Advertising by David Ogilvy.

2) This is Marketing by Seth Godin.

 

How can you do your Advertising at Low cost?

Low cost marketing helps you if you don’t have enough budget to spend on ads to gain more audience. So, I will tell you some techniques for low cost marketing and gain the customers of other brands. So let’s start!

Cross Promotional Marketing- This is the technique where you can promote the products of another brand, not your competitor but who have a unique identity in the market related to your product. This can be done by collaborating with another brand. For example Mac Donalds and Coca-Cola, Ariel, and LG are the brands who are promoting each other’s products having a unique quality in each of them so it helps to attract new customers of each others brands at a very low cost. But you will have a question that which brand is the most suitable for me. I will tell you.

1. Most Suitable Partner– You have to pick the partner who is loyal enough, having the similar audience, and psychographic also who have a unique identity in the market. There are so many partners out there to whom you can easily promote, you just have to research in the market.

2. Integrative Advantage- Tell your partner what advantages and benefits will he get by promoting you and then tell what benefits you will get. This will help in building long-term relationships.

3. Legal Contract– Having a legal contract is a must, it tells us what commitments were made, ROI between each other, and responsibilities. This helps to build trust with the brand.

Comment in the comment section that which type of ad do you like the most and will be using for your business. Thank you for reading my article! See you in the next post.

The Insider’s Guide on Effective Marketing- Seth Godin

The Insider’s Guide on Effective Marketing- Seth Godin

Who should read this Book?

This book is especially for those who want to improve their marketing skills. Because marketing requires everywhere and without marketing business cannot survive. Seth Godin the god of marketing has wonderfully explained how marketing works and how we can benefit from it. So let’s learn a new way of marketing.

 

Leave the Old Method of Marketing-

Earlier all the masses were just shouting and telling the information of the product, sending random messages, not understanding the need of the society just selling more and more to get more profit. That method of marketing is now gone. The new way of marketing is to solve a problem of a particular group with a perfect solution. Marketing is done to provide more opportunities, spreading our ideas to make the change happen.

 

What actually Marketing is?

Marketing is understanding the dreams and desires of the people. It is not selling a low-quality product with a high value. It is about changing people’s minds and help them to achieve what they want. In every step of marketing, we have to see what works and whatnot. If it works fine. If not, search for what is working and learn new things.

Marketing involves telling emotional stories which are relatable to the people, building a product according to the market needs, and showing your product consistently to make the change happen. Marketing needs creative people who can make a change by making things better. But the marketer must be clear who is it for? and what is it for? so the efforts will be in the correct direction. You have to change the people’s perspective towards you.

A story that people will feel connected to you and want to hear more from you. Ultimately it increases your trust level which turns into a transaction. People want the results that will get from your product and not the features. They want a sense of satisfaction, status, and confidence from the product. Make a rational choice while understanding the market and its behavior.

 

dominos Pizza

 

Case Study:  Dominos Pizza

According to you, what is the best quality of dominos? It’s their fast delivery and quality service. They are more focused on customer’s needs and delivering the best pizza in the market. They are consistently updating the customers about the latest trends, offers and taking valuable feedback to improve. Dominos have managed their reputation by making a change in the market and are leading it.

As a marketer, you should make a promise to yourself that what change you want to make and how will you do that? It will help you to direct your efforts in the right direction. Remember, ‘If you are for Everyone then you are No one’ you should change a particular group of people that have similar views and beliefs. Put yourself in the place of the market and imagine what the market thinks and what stories they tell themselves. This helps us in understanding people’s reactions towards your product and understanding their problems better.

Choose your people based on psychographics who are the right people according to you, those who will share your message, and they are your true fans your focus must be on this group. Be more specific. Your product should match the wants of people. Serve your audience with great care so that people will start loving you and share your thoughts. You have to describe who is it for. Your product is only for those people who you are trying to change.

 

Defining the Better-

Better is different for everyone someone feels that this product is better and it could be different for others. Best is different for everyone, for someone the best brand could be Nike for others it can be Sparx it differs because we remember the one which is best for us and worth it. You have to target this audience so that they can find you. Find the dreams and desires of the people, offer a solution, and serve them better so that they pay you enough attention.

 

Amazon

 

Case Study: Amazon

Amazon is a company that focuses on the consumer and delivers the best service. They understand the market needs and their problems and provides a perfect solution like fastest delivery and great customer support. Most of the brands ignore this department but it should give the utmost importance. When a customer reports a problem, he or she is connected with the concerned department within a minute and the problem is solved.

Choose your Extremes– In today’s world, there are too many choices, and what is the guarantee that the customer will choose you? You need to pick your unique feature to separate from the competitors. You need to build a strong emotion ( safety, worthy or valuable) that your customer will get when he thinks about your market.

Be Different from Your Competitors– You should have the skill of being different and delivering a high-quality product. The skill that technology can’t replace you. You have to build your own story that defines your promise, strengthen your core values, building relationships with customers, and making positive changes in the market. If you want to understand what your audience likes in your niche then take feedback, you will understand who is better and why?

You have to be authentic towards your work. Don’t do the work that you don’t love. Understand the audience, their beliefs, and views. Be more personal with the audience don’t talk with them as a brand, talk to them as a person who makes a strong connection.

Deeply Understanding the Customer– The product you make is not just a task that a customer will use and throw it away. You are offering him the roadmap that leads to his desires. It is the feeling of status, emotion that the customer gets from it. You have to see the dreams and fears of different customers because each one will have their fears and desires.

Always be testing your product with the type of audience you seek to serve, what is working and what is not working, and see what your audience likes the most. If you want to charge more from the people, you don’t need to increase the quantity instead you need to put your highest value to the audience with a great story. Offer your service full of love and happiness, great service, and quality products to attract more customers.

Achieving the Small Market– You have to first win the micro-market to expand further and gaining your true hundred fans. The fans are the one who has trust in you, loving you and buys your every product and also recommend to their friends. To achieve results in mass-market you have to work on the small market. When you get feedback on your great product you will find some wrong feedbacks that are not useful for you because the one who has given a one-star should have a different problem, not from your product. In this case, you have to ask for helpful advice on how the product could fit from their perspective, don’t just take random feedbacks.

People Like Us Do Things Like This– Everybody takes decisions to buy a product or service by looking at the crowd not by thinking why it is important just people are doing, so we should also. We cannot change the whole culture but we can change the small market. You have to create tension in the market telling that everyone is coming why you want to leave behind and give a chance to increase the status of the audience.

Creating a Pattern– You have to create a pattern and tension in the market by interrupting people. Create tension of left behind to uninformed for the people who can take an action. But how to create the tension? Tension can be created by making a strong offer or a situation that is never created before and relieving that tension in the form of action.

We make most of the buying decisions based on our status that we live in. It will not make sense initially but if we think deeply that we took the decision because that suits our status. Separate the audience based on the status roles by identifying their behavior. This will help you to know which are the audience who want to increase their status and the status of others as well. Status plays an important role in life. You have to understand what people are telling themselves about you, make them a part of your group, and be connected.

Making your Logo– Your logo is the sign for people to remember your company, it remembers them of your brand when you show up a logo. Your symbol should be related to the change you seek to make and describing your special feature. The brand is something that people care about you and expecting better work from you. Without a brand logo is useless and you can choose a logo as your first name.

Treating Different People Differently– You have to offer your product according to the people’s behavior towards buying, some people like to have a new thing in their hand but some will love what they have. Different people want different things based upon their routine and likes & dislikes, so you have to treat everyone differently to get the desired results. Identify which group of customers is contributing to your profit and leave others who cost you money. Focus on the profit-making customers with a delightful experience and excellent customer service and in return, you are in huge profit.

Building your Strategy– Your strategy should be clear to you that what change you are going to make and who it’s for. It should be for the right people. The strategy is made by tactics and by testing different tactics you will get an idea of which one is working. Your more focus should be on Digital Advertising where you can market your product efficiently to the right people and earn trust and attention gradually. You can also go for Brand Marketing where the environment in your company, delivery service, and the treatment you give to the customers everything matters and you can improve it to build your strong brand.

You have to grab the people’s attention by placing your ad continuously to the right people even if they get tired of it. Jay Levinson said, “Don’t change your ads when you’re tired of them, don’t change them when your employees and friends are tired of them. Change them when your accountant is tired of them”. So frequency matters. People should directly search your name or the service you deliver to them so that Google will understand that you care for the people and they can rank you.

 

product price

 

What is your product price?

The price of your product determines whether it will sell to or not. Someone will try to buy a cheaper product rather than expensive but he will not see its ROI that he will get. So you have to fix the price according to the people you serve. We cannot sell the product for free because it requires the cost to market and invests in our team but you can give your ideas and tips free to people.

Earning Permission– To deliver an email or a message you need permission to contact the people so, permission is valuable. If you have permission you can gain attention and trust. Educate the people regularly, only to those who want to hear from you. Permission is an asset, you have to earn it. You have to benefit the user from your service so that he can proudly spread your word.

The Role of Trust– Trust is a factor that needs to be earned by continuous communication, helping the people, and giving proper guidance. People not only hear you but also trust you. Most important thing is to gain trust from your target audience.

Funnel Building – Fixing your funnel is like growing your customers, others don’t even know that problem is in the funnel. The problem may be in delivering the right kind of service, not doing according to the promise, or disrespecting the audience. Examine your funnel and see what changes you need to make while experiencing the journey of the customer. Do you need a strong reason for your offer that why should people share your story and recommend others to use your product?

Managing your tribe is important. You have to gain action by telling others how they could achieve their dreams as you did and we are all same and now it is the time to change ourselves. This causes tension and leads to forward motion. You have to be committed to your tribe and your tribe will be committed to you.

If your product is not selling then you have to change the story that you tell to the people. Give them a new story to tell which includes status, safety, and respect. As a marketer, you constantly need to become better and better to market your product efficiently to the right people and make things better.

passion

 

1. How to find your Passion?

What type of work do you like the most? And also you are skilled in that work. See if there is a demand or not. If you have not yet found your passion then start thinking and build the skill gradually, also you have to remember the demand for your skill. If there is no demand and you are skilled in that work, anyone will not hire you. So there should be a demand matching your passion and skills then only it will help you.

                              “If you are for Everyone then you are No one”   – Dev Gadhvi

2. Building your Authority-

Building your authority includes 7 steps that are:

Micro Niche– Pick a micro niche where you are the only one who is providing the service. If you become a Digital Marketer then everybody is a Digital Marketer what unique you have. If you say I am a Digital Marketing Strategist and a Mentor for educational institutions. It sounds interesting to the people, they will want to know how do you do this. This is the magic of specialization, you are picking a small market where everybody is not like you. So, specialize in a small niche and build your authority. Remember this was the first step, you have to go step by step, do not take the 3rd or 4th step at the start.

Creating your Content– Can you tell me which type of content is the best? Those are books and videos. Books teach you many things about life, they can make you aware of the big mistakes and teach you the important lessons of life. People like video content format, you can make your digital products in video format. Now, can you tell me the best platform of content? No, it is not Youtube. It is Clubhouse, the clubhouse is a great place to provide them great content and you can also learn from Millionaires and Billionaires. Don’t just be a consumer there be a producer as well. The clubhouse is available only on ios.

Making a System– You have to learn the basic systems that are Email Marketing, Sales funnel, Video Editing, and Picture editing. You need to learn how email automation works, how to build great funnels, and then you can automate all of the things. You can first do it manually and then hire an employee to do this all.

 

community

 

Build a Community– You have to create your community to send them daily short videos, making announcements, important messages and also to take suggestions from them. You can build the community on Whatsapp, Facebook, Youtube, and Linkedin. It helps you to build your brand and reach a wider audience.

Building your Strategy– The first step you have to build your product that will provide value to the audience. They should pay you in advance for your product. Then comes marketing, you have to market your product before launching. If you launch a product and then market it, it will not sell. First, do marketing and then make sales, which is the last part. More sales will happen when you have provided a lot more than the people have paid you.

Making your Product– There are different prices of products. First is free, like you can conduct a free webinar or workshop. The second one is affordable where the product price is low but the value is high. In this type, everybody can buy it and you can sell your premium product to a wider audience. And the third one is core products where the product price is high and the value you are giving is super high. In this type, you give access to your private community and support for a specific period.

 

3. 5 Streams of Income only Rich people Know:

streams of income

 

Active Income– It is the income where you are working daily for 30 days in a month and the income is handed to you. This is a normal type of income where everybody gets stuck in the rat race.

Passive Income– It is the income where you are not working but still the income is generated. This can be done by publishing books, making digital products, or investing in yourself.

Leverage Income– It is the income where other people (workers or employees) are working for you. You can go on long vacations but your business will not get affected.

Money Income– Money income is a simple type where you invest the money in something and you get more returns. This income is generated by investing in stocks/bonds, real estate, or in a friend’s business.

Brand Income– It is the income generated just by giving your name to others. Your name has become most valuable where people can trust you and buy anything that you tell them. It takes time to build but its returns are massive.

The most valuable income you can get is from self-development, it can give 10x or 100x returns. Remember your greatest asset is your mind, make it strong to make more money and to have more options in life.

I personally suggest you attend a webinar or workshop of Dev Gadhvi he is India’s First Passionpreneur Mentor. His programs are also well designed, you can see his achievement and about him on DevGadhvi.in. He had published two books that are: ‘80% Mindset 20% Skills‘ and ‘6 Sundays a Week Life’. I will soon publish a book review on 6 Sundays a week life. Thank you for reading my article!

 

Make your Start-up Journey Memorable using this Steps (2021)

Make your Start-up Journey Memorable using this Steps (2021)

In this article, I will tell you how to start and grow the start-up in India at the initial stage and take your start-up to the next level. This article is for those people who are willing to start a start-up in India and ready to take efforts. So, let’s dive in!

Why start a start-up in India?

The main reason is the youth of the country, the teenagers are all super active to do business and to live a luxurious life or might have to solve a specific problem of the society. Everybody just thinks that they will start a start-up and grow it in the future but the main problem is they just think they never take action. If you don’t give momentum, shape to your idea it will not bring fortune to you. You have to convert your idea into execution and grow slowly.

Start-up or doing business helps employment generation and well-being of the people. There will be no poverty if everybody tries to be self-employed and gives jobs to others. The government is encouraging people to start their own start-ups. After reading this article you will get some business ideas and then you can move ahead by executing them.

 

start-up idea

 

What’s is your idea?

The idea is your base of the start-up. What type of business do you want to start? It can be anything like opening a training centre where you will train the students and take them on the job based on their performance, opening your office related to your profession, or manufacturing a product that a market needs it. Come up with an idea that is unique and solving the major problem of the people as well. The bigger the problem, the more money you will make. So get the idea clear in your mind.

Focussing on ONE plan only-

Having two plans in the mind, then the chances of succeeding are very less. If you stick to the plan that you have made and give your 100% then it will definitely work. You will be not sure whether this plan will work or not. But having an alternative plan will not help you, focus on one plan and put your full energy, suffer the pain because that makes your stronger will help you to succeed in the long term. Commitments in the star-up are important because that makes you think about the solution and make it happen in any situation.

 

funds for start-up

 

Arrangement of Funds-

I have written a detailed article on how to get funds for a start-up or for any other business. You will get to know the different sources of funds that are required for your business. So, visit that article. I will also give a extra tip for a debt-free business.

1) Take 50% or more in advance to manufacture your product. So, that you don’t need to take money from others.

2) If you want to make cost effective then do the entire process by yourself. From raw materials to finished goods and exporting them.

3) Avoiding wastage of resources and making simple and easy process can save your most of the money.

Choosing the location and environment-

Choose a proper location where you can work at night, secure, and with affordable rent. Arrange all the systems and computers that you need to work on. Remember to begin with a small market and then expand slowly. Maintain an environment that is favourable and more productive for your work. What type of environment your employees like, keep that only. It will make them feel interested in their work. We will discuss more employees in the later section.

 

Understand the Market-

First understand what the market wants, their problems, and expectations. You have to look towards the problem and then take action according to it. Quora is a great place to look after different problems. Initially, you have to take some efforts to market your products. You have to tell stories to people that are relatable and interesting. Then the growth will happen slowly.

 

business team

 

Building your Team-

Making an efficient team is necessary for the company’s growth. You will think that hiring my friends or relatives will help in the start. Well, avoid that, you cannot fully trust your friends or relatives. They may want a job but you will find it difficult when you want to remove them from your company. If your friend is efficient and you have trust in him then there is no problem. The reason you should hire a team member from outside is that you have the authority and choice, you can choose according to your judgment. Well, I have written a detailed article on how to hire employees for a company, you can read that.

 

Updating yourself-

In your journey, you will face competition and many other obstacles but you have to be updated. Every day you should invest some hours in learning new things, reading books or sharpen your skills regularly. You can take a course, attend seminars, workshops to develop your skills. Learning will never end. Investing in yourself is the best way to be ahead of the competition.

 

Grab the Opportunity-

Don’t wait for opportunities to come, go and find new opportunities. Life is full of opportunities, it offers every day a new opportunity but we don’t see it. Taking the opportunity at the right time will help you in the long term. Along with that take risks, if you don’t take risks you will not grow enough, you will play a safe game where there are very few returns. Take calculated risks and see the outcomes, you will be surprised!

 

Take a look at Digital Marketing-

Digital Marketing is the fastest growing industry. If you missed this area, you will lose your main audience. Having your own website, community, and email list are necessary for today’s age. Generating leads through your lead magnet will help you to understand and nurture your audience in a better way. You can make announcements, promote your product, also get the suggestion of the audience. If you want to learn Digital Marketing and become an expert in it then you can visit here. Remember, doing Digital Marketing can grow your revenue by 10x.

Having a Polite Attitude– Always say I am prepared to do the following things:

Do's and Don'ts

 

Customer Service-

Remember, the customer is your king, you should keep him happy. At many companies the queries of customers not get solved quickly. If you are slow in responding to customer queries then you might have to improve on your customer service department. A longer time to respond will result in losing many customers. So, provide the best service to the customer because a happy customer will bring more customers.

I have listed some websites that will be useful for your start-up. Have a look at it.

99Designs.com

Dribble.com

Angel List

 

Difficulties during your journey-

There will be many difficulties waiting for you. But the difficulties become very small compared to your desire to make it a successful start-up. Sometimes you will have a problem in outsourcing funds or employees are not working properly. Everyone problem has a solution, if there is no solution then the problem never existed. So find it out how can I fix it and move ahead there is a lot to explore. Have massive goals in your life that will keep you motivated that you have to achieve them anyhow. 

Having patience is important in the start-up. Taking consistent efforts, significant patience and always looking for opportunities can help the start-up to grow exponentially. In your start-up journey you will not know what is working and not working, so always experiment and see which is the best and then scale up. You will have a little fear, nervousness in your mind, just face that and you will realize, that was nothing. There is a lot to explore ahead. 

All the best for your start-up journey! Thank you for reading my article and tell me how did you like this article.
