5 points to consider when starting Solopreneurship

A solopreneur is not an entrepreneur. Sorry being honest. A Solopreneur is entrepreneur in the making. So when starting a business SOLO you need to know many things. How many things and what exactly cannot be said in a page. Answers varies in accordance with circumstances. However, here are 5 things everyone should know when starting a business alone.

1. Market
Whatever you are supposed to do or sell, study its market size. Meet people, interact, know, since how long they are in this business. What they think, how will be market for the said business, product or service. If it will rise, go steady or fall.
2. Mentor
YOU WILL FAIL. Not only one, two or three times but many times. Do you know someone who will help you in downtime or when going for expansion. Ideally, mentors do not work for you, hiring a mentor is not cheap, also they are less available human commodity. Start searching right away till you find one.
3.Time
Doing business is 10 times more tiring than doing a job. You not get any salary. Plus you will need to multiply your work hours. If you are going Solo, you alone will be responsible for Marketing, Production and Sales.
4. Family
Everyone have a family. Even your childhood was spent on streets then too you have a family like relations with your friends. When you will multiply work hours, chances are you won't be able to interact with family members. Be open, tell your family and friends and ask for their consent. Mind It; everyone won't be happy with your decisions. Do not go against them indeed convince them. They are people who will come your rescue first.
5. Finances
Do you have sustainable funds for days to come. There is no guarantee how soon you will start making profits from business. It will need time, patience and good amount of work. If you have depends like parents and kids to look after then check THRICE for how long you would be able to sustain without making profits.
DO NOT COUNT ON BORROWING; IT WILL COST YOU A FORTUNE.

Experiences give Learnings and these comes of Pain

 May be right, may be wrong. But not absolute rubbish. Going for the first time despite knowing perhaps I won't be able to achieve milestones as the support system is scary weak. Somewhere back and deep in the mind the thought was what I will do, then, where I will end up life. Will I succeed, if not then what will I do? Whether I will be able to make both ends meet. How will I face people at home, society, relatives and others? The struggles were endless. If I go back in memory lane I observe I met many people, I made many good friends, I got support from many teachers, I got support from many people supposedly rich in society. I met many employers. But suddenly I realized through every step in life that no one was mine. No one was my support system, that was an illusion only. As soon as people realized this guy is looking to achieve a milestone, suddenly I realized there were no friends, no well wishers, no supporters, no sympathizer. I found myself stranded in the deep seas o...

Why small business shall not count on SEO but paid campaign

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is very slow process.  If your are a business owner,  already have businesses,  and making profit, then you can hold on,  wait for couple of months to grow your business organically through search engines like Google. However,  if you are a new business and looking for immediate profit,  do not count on SEO.  It's a slow process.  Perhaps,  by the time your business grow through seo you will need to close it because of no actual results. Actual result means sales that can make more money than expenditures. If you are new in business instead of hiring seo guy I will suggest you to spend money on paid campaign like adwords,  Facebook ads etc. If you have better budget,  go hand in hand for paid advertising and seo else put money but WISELY on paid campaigns to generate some quick sales.
