Auto rickshaw Network – A New Cheaper Advertising Medium -

After the TV, Radio, News papers, Magazines, Mobiles, Internet, Skyscrapers, Railway stations & Public Places….. The new Advertising Media come into exists.
And that is “Auto rickshaw Network”.
Yes, In search for cheaper media for client, NGOs have started to train auto rickshaw drivers to speak on different brand.
And running a Company around this idea is a Great Business Idea….!!!!!
Nyaya Bhoomi, A Delhi based NGO has started to train auto rickshaw drivers to speak on different brands. This is part of program to launch 1000 autos by April 2009, which would be branded in and out.
Each auto rickshaw will have commercial ad spaces on in and out.
A handful of rickshaw drivers are already undergoing training for etiquette, honesty and politeness.
So from now onwards, if you want to know which car to buy, just hop onto an auto rickshaw. The driver will provide you all kind of Information including History of the Company, New offers, its benefits and other Vital Information.
In Jaipur, Rakesh Agarwal is running another NGO. Rakesh has also initiated Auto Rickshaw Star Club, a program that will increase camaraderie between these daily wage earners.
The NGO which already has 8000 autos registered with it to use for the branding exercise, will completely overhaul these vehicles.
The Vehicles would have backlit LED panel apart from 2 similar side panels. The entire interior of the vehicle would be used for branding. A hard top would replace the soft top surface of the vehicle. The cost of remodeling each auto would be Rs. 10,000.
Rakesh is in talk with different sectors of mass consumption like banking, insurance and telecom.
Around Rs.120 per day per Vehicle would be the price to advertise on the vehicle…..
So I think Auto Rickshaw Network will emerge as a new media for advertising. And this Industry has a potential to grow very faster in the current economic slowdown…..!!!!!!!!

Business at Speed of Light

This is the Information Age and now you can do Business at Speed of Light. This is the era of Digital Money means now you can make money at digital speed (Speed of Light). After 1990, The Industrial age gets over and the Information Age started. And with the birth of the Internet, more and more millionaires and billionaires born and will be born in the future.
We can not see the potential of Internet with our eyes because it is invisible. We can only see the potential of the internet with our minds only. And this is the reason why still many people don’t believe in the power of Internet.
Let us discuss one Example. The Example of a Doctor & High School kid having a web business.
We used to believe that doctors are the highest earning professionals world wide. Well, it was true once upon a time (Before 1990) but today this is not true. Those days are gone when doctors were earning highest.
Let us compare doctor with high school kid having a Web Business say for Example Blog or a Dating site or a Social Network…!!!
Now, a doctor can see one patient at one time and work for maximum 15 hours a day. And on the top of this doctor’s target market will be a city or a town in which he is practicing. Say for Example Ahmedabad City of Gujarat state of India. Ahmedabad city has a population of 7 Million (70 Lakh). So there is an upper limit of doctor’s earning. A doctor can not earn 24/7.
Now there is a high school kid who is a Web Entrepreneur and who has developed his own Dating site out of scratch only. The main advantage to this kid is, The Internet Population is 1 Billion (1000 Million) which is 142 times higher than the population of Ahmedabad city. Not only this but this Kid’s dating web site can make money 24/7. Means even when the kid is sleeping.
For this high school kid, more web traffic means more revenue and less work while for a doctor, more patients means less time to spend with his family and more hard work in the field.
Take the Example of Plentyoffish.com, an online dating site.
The founder of the site is only 28 today and a Canadian Citizen. He earns US $ 3,00,000 per month from his this dating site via Google AdSense. And that is US $ 3.6 Million / year….!!!!
This is the power of Information age and doing Business at speed of light.
The generation born after 1990 is Techie. They have seen the world through the Internet only. And now they have started their Ventures in the Internet in the form of Internet Businesses. And in no time, they started becoming rich, Ultra-rich.
The new generation don’t believe in the idea of go to school, work hard, get good grades, find a safe and secure job, save & invest in mutual funds or retirement plans and retire at the age of 60 or 65. The Internet generation believes in retiring in their thirties or early forties. They believe in making money at the speed of light.

Ideacts Innovations – A Great Business Idea

Ideacts Innovations
Let us discuss today the story of 3 Entrepreneurs – Maninder Gill, Saurabh Khullar & Rudrajeet Desai – The co-founders of Ideacts Innovations.
In countries like India, Cyber cafes still remain the main access point for more than 40% Internet users even though personal computers have become a main part.
During the year 2000, Internet cafes were starting to mushroom in India. This made realize this team that computer screens at cyber cafes could be used for something far more interactive. And That’s why they have developed a desktop application.
They developed a Desktop Application that would enable ads to be screened on computer desktops in cafes. In return, cafe owners would be paid a fixed sum every month. They got advertisers like Yahoo, Hungama and Kinetic Honda and managed to tied-up with 45 odd cafes in Pune.
According to Desai, They made some money which they blew up on parties.
But after the dot com bust they went in trouble and they were only 20 so they shut down the business. Ideacts than ceased the operations and the trio went to work in fields as different as media, technology and finance.
In 2007, the trio meet again and decided to start again. But this time they were mature and with experience from various backgrounds. They pooled their savings and collected Rs.10 lakhs for start-up capital.
And this time within 5 months, they developed a Desktop Application known as “CLINCK”.
In November, 2007 the Ideacts raised US $ 5 Million (Rs.25 Crore) from Sequoia Capital.
Today it has 120 advertisers and operations in 19 cities over 58 locations and 21,000 + PC terminals in over 3,500 Cyber cafes.
Though Ideacts is yet to break even, its growth plans are on track. It has recently received fresh round of Venture Capital funding from Sequoia Capital and SVB Financial Group with which it plans to enter in Tier-2 & 3 cities.

Markus Frind & PlentyofFish.com

This is the Information Age and it doesn’t require money to make money anymore. It requires an idea and online space (Web site) to make money out of nothing. After the birth of the Internet, it became possible to make literally millions of dollars out of Scratch only.
Take the Example of Markus Frind (In Photo) of PlentyofFish.com
Markus is a 29 year old Web Entrepreneur from Vancouver, Canada. He is the owner & founder of world’s largest online dating site PlentyofFish.com. Markus had launched his dating web site in year 2003 and today he is earning over US $ 10 Million per year by displaying Google AdSense adds on his site.
PlentyofFish.com receives over 45 Million Visitors & over 1.1 Billion Page Views every month.
Markus operates his Web Business from his apartment in Vancouver, Canada. He is the single person on this earth who is earning this much amount of money from Google AdSense.
The amount of money he makes and how he went about creating this million dollar business has been the subject of much discussion in various webmaster forums. Some bloggers have done interviews with Markus or have written about his success.
Only a very small number of people can achieve a similar income level just from one website and what he has achieved is due to a combination of multiple factors such as technology, market entry/positioning and sheer personal effort.
What this shows? This shows that Information age has a tremendous potential to make you extremely rich in your twenties and early thirties.
Markus works just 10 hours a week. His website grows automatically and the Income also increases automatically. After the birth of the Internet (1990). more and more millionaires & Billionaires born and will be born.
Go to School, Work Hard, Get good job, again work hard at your job place and retire at the age of 65 when you retire is a no longer favourite idea. The youngsters prefer to use their mind in their twenties and thirties and make lots of money and retire in thirties or early forties.
So What are you waiting for? Use your mind and start your Internet Business as early as possible in your life means NOW and make millions of Dollars in No Time…!!!

Jagdish Khattar is the founder of the Carnation Auto. 66 years old Jagdish Khattar was a former Managing Director of MARUTI – SUZUKI. He has left Maruti Suzuki 18 months left and started his own Venture – Carnation Auto on his own.
Carnation is the bold new venture in the Indian Automobile Industry. Modeled on similar third-party formats in the West, it plans to create a nationwide network of multi-brand outlets which will trade in new and used cars and spares and accessories, offer service, insurance and finance under one roof.
Carnation was formally launched in June this year and already has 10 company-owned outlets across India along with 6 joint ventures with local players in different states.
Khattar’s Model is ambitious but it’s by no means the first. MyTVS from the TVS Group, Mahindra First Choice and Reliance AutoZone have launched earlier with similar models but haven’t gone national.
The Company is funded by Premji Invest (Rs.80 Crore) and IFCI Ventures (Rs.28 Crore) in addition to Khattar’s own contribution. He adds he is on the verge of finalizing a Rs.170 Crore loan from a bank.

Business Ideas for School Children

Which are the Business Ideas for School going Children?
Let me tell you my story today. Since childhood, I was so much curious about Business and Investments that, i was regularly asking questions about Business and investments to my school teachers and parents.
But unfortunately, all i learn from my parents and school teachers about Business and Investments is that, “It is Risky”, “You are a Kid, First study hard, get high college degree and than think about business”, “You are a Kid and Business is for mature people”….and like that….
This is all I learn from School and my parents about Business.
But let me tell you that, What’s the truth in the real world. If today you are a school going kid and you also hear the same things about business and investments from your parents and school teachers like me than let me tell you that, Don’t listen to them.
This is because, in the real world, Not Having Business and Investments is an extremely risky thing in the real world. Just see around you and ask yourself that, who is more safe and secure financially? Those who owns Business and Investments or those who owns a Job?
Where is the job security in the modern world? No where in the world. Now, the question is that, Is it possible to own a Business as a school going children? And if yes than Which is the Best Industry to own a Business as a school going children?
Well, the answer is, of course it is possible to own a Business even if you are a school going kid. And the Best Business to own as a school going children is the Internet Business.
This is because, you will require little to no capital to start your Internet Business empire. Take the Example of myself. This Blog is my Internet Business and I started this Business without ZERO Capital Investment. Yes, I have developed this Business out of Scratch only.
You will be surprised by knowing that, many high school going teens are making thousands of dollars every month from their internet businesses every month. These kids are running their successful blogs, forums and websites and by running Google AdSense or affiliate marketing on their blogs and websites, they are making tons of money even without having any hi-fi educational degrees.
So What this shows? This shows that, if you are going to do Business only than educational degrees are not at all important in your life. Because it is possible to make money even without educational degrees.
Let me give you the example of Derek from Tycoon Cashflow. Derek was making $ 3000+ from Affiliate marketing when he was just 19 years old. You can also earn like Derek by developing your own Internet Business empire. What you have to do is, simply buy the Tycoon Cashflow program from Derek and Start making money Online from your Internet Business.
Industrial age Businesses are out of scope for school going children. This is because industrial age Businesses require start-up capital as well as they don’t run without your presence initially. But in case of Internet Businesses, they will run even without your presence from Day1 as well as you will require the up front investment of time initially and not the money.
Say for example, this Blog. I have to give 5 hours a day of time investment behind this blog to keep it growing. But even if today I stop working behind this blog, this blog will still run without my presence and make money for me…!!!!!
So Start your own Internet Business Now…..!!!!

New Online Business Opportunities

Because of the Internet, many online business opportunities have been created in this world. And many people from all around the world are literally making 6 figure income in dollars every year from their online businesses.

This article is all about some great New Online Business Opportunities on the Internet right now. I am sure that, you will be very excited by knowing all these opportunities.

01) Website Flipping -
Website Flipping is the hottest new Business Opportunity on the Internet right now. Website flipping means buying an already established website or developing a website out of scratch and later on selling that website for a huge places on the various internet market places like Flippa.com and SitePoint.com
This is the hottest business opportunity on the Internet because there is huge money making potential here. Developing a website or a blog out of scratch requires lots of mind labour work. You have to invest hours and hours of mind labourwork a day to develop a successful website. Thus, many companies simply acquire a website or a blog in their Niche by paying huge money rather than developing it out of scratch.

This is because if you buy an already established website or a blog than you don't need to market it because it is already marketed. So you save both your money and time.

02) Domaining (Domain Flipping) -
Buying and selling Domain Names is the second great Business opportunity on the Internet. Domain names are just like the real estate of the Internet. Means the supply is constant but the demand is increasing.
Some generic name domain names such as Car.com, Mortgage.com, CreditCards.com, Fund.com and Investment.com are worth of literally millions of dollars.
This is because generic name domain names drive natural search engine traffic from the day 1 only so starting an online business on these domain names mean you will make money from the first day.

03) Blogging -
Blogging is another new Online Business opportunity. You won't make any significant money from your blog from the first day unless you start blogging with a team of writers. It will take a year or a two before you start making some real money from your blog. Making money from a blog business is tough initial but still it's a great business opportunity because the earnings from your blog business fluctuates very less and areextremely stable in comparison to other businesses online.

04) Discussion Forums -
Here you simply launch a vBulletin forum software and start a discussion forum on some topic. Now, the best advantage of starting a forum is that, once it has sufficient amount of users (Few thousands), it will constantly keep growing even without your presence. This is the best part about doing a Forum Business. Because here the users will create a content for you forum at free of cost.

Thus, the above are the great new online business opportunities. You can start anyone of them and make money online...!!!

Simple Online Business

Online Discussion forums is the simple online business. What I like the most about Discussion forums is that, they are automatic once they reach to a certain size. The main hard work behind any Forum is to kick start the discussion. Once it has sufficient number of users (Few thousands), it will automatically run and grow even without your presence.

In case of Discussion Forums, users from all around the world create a FREE Content for you. So you don't have to do anything once your forum becomes fairly popular on the Internet.

In case of a Blog Business, you have to keep it updated on regular basis to keep visitors come back again and again. Of course, there is nothing wrong in that. Buyt the Forum Business is relatively simple than the blog business. It takes the initial hard work to make your forum popular in your Niche. And once your forum become fairly popular, it will keep growing more and more over the time.

Many Internet Entrepreneurs from all around the world have launched a successful forums online and now they are travelling the world while enjoying the passive income from their forums.

The owner of DigitalPoint.com is making $ 15,000 every month from Google AdSense. And for this he does not have to work even 2 hours a week....!!!!
Because the users of the forum generate free content for his forum while he travel the world.

Thus, Forum is a simple online Business. And yeah.... It has a great potential of making money too. if you want to launch your own Forum than vBulletin is the software that you need to install on your web host. Simplye go to vBulletin.com and buy a forum software from it and install it on your web host.

Woot: One Deal a Day Website

Woot: One Deal a Day Website

Let us today discuss about The History of Woot.com, One Deal a Day Website. Woot is a privately owned company and founded in 2004 by its founder Matt Rutledge (Founder & CEO).

Woot.com is the Internet Business having annual revenue of $ 164 Million. This site mainly sale electronics and household goods. Matt was the electronic wholesaller in the past and he founded this company after having a great idea in his mind.

Woot’s main website offers only one product a day at very large discounted price. I mean at wholesaller’s price. It’s not like Amazon.com where everything is loaded on the website. Woot just launch one product a day at discounted price.

Other Woot sites offer one original t-shirt per day, two selections of wine per week, one children's item per day, and one closeout deal per day in cooperation with Yahoo! Shopping.

Woot Business Model:

Woot's tagline is "One Day, One Deal". Generally, Woot offers one product per day until its stock of that item is sold out or the product is replaced at midnight Central Time with the next offering. If a product sells out during its run, the next item still does not appear until midnight, except during Woot-Offs. Products are never announced beforehand. This sales model means that Woot is unable to replace defective items and encourages customers to call the manufacturer if the item is defective. This now common One deal a day business model has been implemented by hundreds of web-based retailers since Woot's launch in 2004.
Customers may buy up to three of the day's item, although occasionally the site has limited product quantity to one per customer. Woot does not reveal sales figures unless the item sells out.
Woot is the amazing Business idea. Within 5 years of launch, Woot has increased its annual revenue up to a $ 160 Million mark. Right now the company has 140 employees.

Now you will think of starting any one or more of the above Businesses right? Because they have turned into a Billion Dollar Businesses right? Have you ever noticed that all of the above business ideas are not innovative they are just simple business ideas that later on turned into a Billion dollar business ideas right?

What I want to tell you is that, any business idea can become a billion dollar business idea. But the only requirement is that, you have to think big. Say for Example, Starbucks. The goal of Starbucks was to put a coffee shop in every corner of the US which is wild thinking.

Amazon.com, the founder decided to sell things online to whole of this world via his online site. Polo – Ralph Lauren decided to develop a brand that everyone in this world wants to wear.

All of these shows a wild imagination. You have to think big and wild. Otherwise you can not develop a Billion dollar Business. A Billion Dollar business idea is not something extra ordinary creative but it’s extra ordinary big and wild in imagination.
