Business Mantra

While starting a new business everyone thinks of only sales and getting new projects on regular basis. But, just after a few days of starting a new venture, things start getting worse. Many business face shortage of projects and their expenses went to become a nightmare for them. We know this because we keep getting calls from hundreds of such businesses for a consultation. We deny giving consultations to most of them because it is not easy to deal with so many people without any initial presence, Would you start an online business just because you got some projects? What if that project ends in mid and you are left with your office expenses and what not? From where would you pay the salary of your employees or to the people from where you are outsourcing your work. It might sound harsh but without any initial planning, you can't run any business, forget about online ones. You should have a clear approach about the next steps that you would have to take just after completing the f...

Our requirements are not that big and we wanted a simple and easy to use platform. The developer took the chance and worked really well on the project.

Last night, we had a meeting to have a discussion for the next edition that we are launching in August. For that, we also invited some freelancers in the meeting to discuss some activities that we are going to do. The thing that all our team noticed is that the freelancers were no to organized. One even didn't have the setup to come on a video call with all of us. Due to that reason he just turned off the video on Zoom meeting. We felt really awkward as it is their daily requirement to come online on video calls and still they don't have a proper setup. As we don't have any physical team, so, most of our team works from home and we do have regular video calls to give some tips and discuss on further steps . We contacted each one of them and made them right one point each with the help of which they organize things. Below are the points that each one of them shared with us and we are sharing it here for you all. Do use these tips in getting best results out of your freelanci...

Hey Readers, This is Your Favorite magazine blog Business Mantra. We are here with another great topic that we would be publishing in our second edition. Most of the companies reading this article might have connected with at least one agency in their life. It is a need of the hour to discuss about agencies because we all are dependent on them in one or the other way. We started with our project in December 2018 when we decided to come up with a business magazine. Carl and tony reached out to me with the basic plan of the magazine and then we sat down to finalize the structure. There were two main problems that we outlined after the discussion. First was to get a team of writers and research people to get highly engaging content . The second one was to look for an agency that could help us with the promotion. It took us around 6 months to come up at point where we didn't have any other agency left. We talked with this many people but they all were lacking in one or the other thing....

You might have seen a lot of companies starting with their own podcasts. Isn't it true? We are seeing a lot of ads and banners of podcasts on the Internet. People use them mainly for interviewing purpose and some may even share some valuable stuff related to a particular niche. Starting Our Podcast Some people suggested us start a podcast for our business magazine. They even suggested to us some names that we can put for it. Our team got confused because we don't currently have any topic or path for starting a podcast. And the main reason for not starting one is that it would require consistency. Once started we would have to share episodes consistently otherwise the subscribers will go away. Last year, one of our friends started a podcast and he even interviewed some famous influencers in his niche. In just one month his episodes got around 1,200 views and 176 subscribers. He thought to scale things up but then he got some other big projects. And, when he chec...

Business Mantra is going to launch the second edition of its business magazine. The first edition went viral over the bookstores. It was launched before the lockdown started. Business Mantra Magazine Though lockdown affected the sales a lot because people were not allowed to go to the bookstores. But the sales took a hike in early December. We sold around 10,000 copies of the first edition that doesn't involve a single cent on advertisements. The batch that got benefit from advertisement sold over 2,300 copies of Business Mantra. We were assuming that to be the total number of sales and even our publishers didn't have enough copies to suffice the needs and demands. People started to compare us with Forbes and that was the best thing that could ever happen to a magazine in its first-ever launch. The earlier plan was to launch the next edition in March but due to these circumstances, we took a gap in the process. Finally, the date of the launch is decided and now we a...
