Marketing a Product - Part 2

Creating business model

Draw a table, expenses & revenues. Decide breakeven point. Decide initial investment

Having a business model is very important. Everyone has an app, but what most of them doesn’t know is how to get it to the targeted audience. But if you have a sound business model, you’ll start earning revenue very quickly. Let’s be honest, you work to live, and to live you need money.

Define the problem you’re trying to solve. The problem should be very focused and narrow. It should be well-defined. All these will help you to define the scope of your product. Then determine the targeted audience. Don’t say its entire nation. You should have specific groups as audience. Make sure you understand their behaviors and culture. Else, you’re going to have problem penetrating their market with your product.

Determine what can go wrong in the product/application & solutions. This not only gives you bad reviews but also causes you to lose money. Think about it; if you have an application with loop-holes, then some users may try to get advantages beyond their permission. Stating the risks of your product shows that you have thought about them.

Marketing a Product - Part 1

Recently I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in a 54hr Hackathon. And we were able to work with experts from the industry. This is a glimpse of what I was able to learn from that Hackathon.

Presenting your idea

When it comes to entrepreneurship, the most important out of all is how you present you idea. You can have a great idea, but if you beat around the bush, while you’re explaining it to potential stakeholders, you can’t be successful. Define your problem and explain him how you address it. Show that you have identified where things can go wrong, by stating the risks. If you creating a presentation, for a 5 minute time, 5-8 slides is enough. Don’t have artwork, where you want to highlight the unique features of the idea. Have them as bullet points. Also you need to defend your idea against the questions from the stakeholder. Promote your branding as much as you can in presentation (have the company logo and product logo in the presentation background. Mention product name often)

[Solved] Crackling Sounds coming from Your Laptop

Today I was very much frustrated. My newly bought Asus N43SL laptop, which has an Audio System powered by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower seems to produce crackling noises when I'm playing music. Audio was perfect & precise and I was admiring it all day few days before.

And finally I've got rid of this issue. So what was the problem?
Like anybody I googled about this issue first. Here are the possible causes I've gathered from the resources I found on Google.

Eclipse Indigo Classic - Unable to Install New Software

I have been using Eclipse Indigo Classic for sometime. And I didn't hate it either until very recent.

Once I wanted to install a new plugin in Eclipse. So like a Pro, I followed Help > Install new software. Then after passing few windows I stepped on "Review License" window. After reading the licenses I selected "I agree" radio button. But I can't proceed further. Because Next or Finish buttons are not enabled. (see Eclipse Bug) In fact in this IDE no software can be installed. And this has been reported as a bug. So after few desperate days, I found a work around.
