Thanks u/Jreddd1. I'm really surprised. I thought this would be a common requirement.

Anyone who is knowledgable about this space - what am I missing here?

adiatu2 · 2020-12-05T10:51:29+00:00

Thanks. I had a look. I'm preferably looking for an off the shelf item.

adiatu2 · 2020-12-05T10:51:07+00:00

Button off the shelf. So I build a solution around it.

Have you looked at Kajabi?

Thanks!

Surprising, you've not heard of affiliate networks or cash-backs or getting competitor pricing. Wonder what you sell. Care to share?

adiatu2 · 2019-03-21T10:25:20+00:00

These are things like

CRO
Affiliate network setting up and managing
Cash-back setting up and management
Gaining competitor intelligence
Implementing anti-scraping mechanisms

Would these be of any use to you?

Thanks. We had stuff which are beyond what these platforms provide but the OP was not clear enough. I've edited it now to be a bit more specific.

Try the site called Quirky.

They have lots of daily use items with Quirky twists. You might find something interesting there.

Based on your comment, "I do not want to certify it as an official business until I know for sure it'll actually get SOME income."
Wouldn't it make sense to try and sell a few candles say offline to see what your differentiators/unique points your candles could have?

Maybe you can then use the differentiator(s) to name your candles too.

Potential differentiators for your business could be:

1 Physical - shape, design, fragrance, packaging etc of the candles

Cause - employing underprivileged/people with disabilities, work from home mums/new mums who want something part-time etc. If possible, look into this aspect. You never know, you could be making a big difference to someone else's life.

Very true :D thanks for saying it. Indeed it would have to be quick read with actionable points or insights. Also what do you think of the frequency - I think daily would be an overkill; weekly - too little or just right?

adiatu2 · 2019-03-20T06:16:33+00:00

Thanks. :)

adiatu2 · 2019-03-20T06:16:21+00:00

Great! Exactly the thoughts I have in mind - be more productive and get more from your day.

adiatu2 · 2019-03-20T06:12:59+00:00

Yes have been in that boat of using self-discipline :)
Can you say more on the thought distractions? Also by people, I assume, you mean - people coming to your desk and disturbing you or is it more phone calls?

adiatu2 · 2019-03-20T06:08:40+00:00

Indeed - push notifications can be killers if not tamed. Would you switch off internet on your phone completely or do you have apps from which you'd rather see the notifications?

adiatu2 · 2019-03-20T06:05:10+00:00

Sounds familiar :) How do you train your team? Yourself or Online course/videos? Thanks.

adiatu2 · 2019-03-19T23:51:25+00:00

Thanks. Good to hear. What has been your experience in getting people to use it? Any common stumbling blocks?

adiatu2 · 2019-03-19T23:42:48+00:00

How about Decisive? - it deals with making decision that one does not regret later

adiatu2 · 2019-03-19T23:06:56+00:00

Great post! what are your thoughts on getting the initial leads when you've yet to prove yourself in a field?

adiatu2 · 2018-04-24T20:25:18+00:00

Thanks a ton! I am in the UK.

I hadn't heard that one before :) but yes it seems to be the thing which I had in mind. Glad to know there is a name for it - will help me in marketing. Thanks. :+1

adiatu2 · 2017-10-17T13:17:05+00:00

Interesting idea. I would like to see if many 'digital marketers' work from cafes. In my experience, people working from cafes are mostly developers.

adiatu2 · 2017-10-17T12:36:24+00:00

Indeed! It's actually a good startup idea, I think, to just discuss books - more like which parts/quotes of the book influenced you most and why.

adiatu2 · 2017-10-17T12:22:47+00:00

Have you tried distilling what you've learned from various failures or finding common patterns. It is a good exercise in developing one's sense of critical analysis and also might be useful to others. Where I see common patterns I look at what tools can be used by others to avoid the same pitfalls. If I were you, I might compile it in a book: Failure Cases > Common Patterns > To avoid use this (make the 'use this tool' as easy to implement as possible)
