Why every businesses are down and what should small businesses do?

Due to pandemic most of the businesses are down and not being able to get the basic revenue out of it. Most businesses that went bust because of the pandemic are the ones who were totally dependent on the offline market. We can say the more than 70% small businesses were traditional shops that didn't even have listed on Google maps forget about the website or the e-commerce shop or even WhatsApp as the business.

Now people are more afraid to go to the market not only to the population-dense area but to any area where people are there. People are afraid of people.

 Now the new trend of e-commerce especially for small businesses will rise because the demand of the people will increase for shopping online. People will buy the $10 retail thing in $15-$25 in an online shop just because they don't want to come in contact with the virus.

Small businesses should focus more on how to get their shops online because that's the only most effective way to remain in the business in the next few years.

How small businesses can get online


Things to consider for small business when starting online selling 



  1. When starting out online the best and the most effective thing a small business can do is to start a business in a WhatsApp and get all the contacts of your existing customers.
  2. When you have all the contacts of the customers be in touch with them and always try to update new things about your business and the main thing is the Customer should not forget about your business.
  3. When starting online selling do not just go directly to the online marketplaces for selling because of the competition in those marketplaces and there are a lot of rules and regulations due to which you will not be in control of your business.
  4. Start your own website and list your products there it is better because as a small business you are just targeting the customers who are located nearby to your shop or small business and not targeting the whole country.
As a business, you should always come with new ideas creative ways to find out how you can get your business up and running in great revenue. and finally, always remember to be in touch with your customers to be remembered by them.

What if Reviewing can be Rewarding?

Image
Every time we look for buying something we always rely upon the reviews from the people who have used it and based on that we can make better decisions about buying that thing. While we like getting a lot of reviews about the product but reviewing requires a lot of efforts and often we ignore reviewing anything at all even if the thing we have bought delivered the value better than we expected.  Only 10% of the total people who have bought, review it. And chances of giving a negative review is higher than giving a positive one because everybody who got frustrated using that product most likely will give review than those who had a great experience.   If we look closer we can observe that till now giving a review is not more than just giving a simple favour. It feels like we are giving something out there so that other people can get benefits out of it. What if there is a way in which anyone who gives a review gets rewarded for it. For example, someone bought a car and if the person ca

Education Startups giving only Content should not create Content.

In the past few years, lots of educational startups came into the picture and made their user base grew because they gave "FREE" content mostly in video form. Users liked their content because it was good and they all felt really great because it helped them to replace their traditional offline tuition classes. It was much easier to watch a 30 minutes video than to commute for 1 hour, learn for 30 minutes, and commute back home again for 1 hour. Most of the educators in those platforms were also those who cleared the respective exams and were driven by passion than the money to create those "FREE" content and students were happy because they were learning through the best educators.

Here comes the tricky part, the educational startups which grew their userbase sole

Due to pandemic all around the world, the schools are shutting down but they have to make study running for students so teachers are teaching the students online. It was all good until it wasn't! Let's see what are the funny things trending now on the youtube. And there are lots of examples like this which shows how the situation of the online classes turned out for the teachers. The video may have been funny and you and I are just gonna watch it for five or ten minutes and laugh it off but the teachers who have been through this are facing lot of frustration and they are also demoralizing from this behavior of the students.  I am not here to just whining and cribbing about the situation of the teachers. If the criticism is not CONSTRUCTIVE then it is just only whining. Right now you can see the rise in the usage of video conferencing platforms across the world and there will not be a " One Size fits all" solution for all the needs for v
