What I learn from Parle-G

Parle-G, who don't know that name in India. Home or Office, Birthday's or a casual visit, morning snacks or evening tea breaks. Good times or days of struggle. Parle-G is always there to help you. 

Those were good old days, all play, all fun, fighting with siblings and turn to be a sweet boy if mother is watching. My uncle used to visit us every now and then and each time he made sure to come with one packet of Parle-G biscuit. He happen to be a first class academician.

Actually this was the only packet I was allowed to accept from a guest, else, any other thing brought by anyone was completely not allowed. When I little grew up and my other uncle and sisters taught me counting I counted biscuits inside. Then I counted again in next week, then perhaps in next week. And I concluded 12 biscuits for Rs. 2.

I did all divisions, multiplications, subtractions and additions around my cookies.

To a young chap the Print of Child on the packet was a catch. I used to think why after opening packet and when I keep it safe after taking my quota of 2 the child on the packet do not eat, Many times I counted next day from the remaining and found the child is loyal to cookies.

I regret growing up, uncle stopped bringing biscuits for me. And further I got jealous because uncle again started bringing same packet but now not for me, now that goes to young kids in the house.

Time passes as usual and casual. A shopkeeper asked how going work, you are IT guy. I said recession is hitting every industry, I work for different clients. He asked what you do extra, I said I do blogging, it does not make money or very less money but gives me identity and references.

The other guys said, that's important. You cannot think about making money from everything. See parle-G has many products but it did not stopped selling biscuit of Rs. 2 a packet. They are reaching to everyone by that measure. See any shampoo company, together with bottles they make sure to sell shampoo packets of Rs one or two cost.

And I was like, hey, now do not get Rs. 2 biscuit pack from my uncle any more.

But that pack told me one thing, for rupees 2 you can get this N numbers of biscuits only while N is a variable.

Hostgator India and Bigrock are not two different now

    Mergers and acquisitions are common in business world. To do business you need to join hands. Long back Hostgator was not in India, then it spread its wings and come to this geography. Hostgator is a trusted partner you can count on to buy a service or subscription. Its customer support was awesome, just raise one ticket and you are done. That was my experience with Hostgator in past. Bigrock was a separate entity, I seen big rock adverts often but I was a Hostgator customer. It offers affiliate programmes too. But instead of chosing affiliate I recommended my customers always to chose Hostgator. Many people was like its costly and my simple reply was its Hostgator.  Now Hostgator India and Bigrock  are not two but one. Who joined hands with whom and why I won't go and dig those details for now. But, now BigRock has bigger responsibilities in its hands. So, people like me, may be those are a fistful only can say, its Bigrock, it was Hostgator. Not...

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. No, no, do not take a hurried decision. Through paid campaigns you can reach to your potential customers but conv...
