What I've been doing lately
Another day passed, I must admit I am really tired today. Oh, and by the way it's been quite a while since I last wrote in this blog - Okaeri :-D. Well, I often keep myself busy to avoid thinking a lot, something that I will not be able to comprehend anywany :-D.
I have a wonderful office this time, it's research driven and funded internationally so unlike those private companies I can say it's the best company I've worked so far (salary is quite low though :-D). Maybe one reason why we've been transforming into a business minded individual. For some reason I am lockdown in the Philippines maybe for another year or two, that's why we've been constantly exploring any other business opportunities. With my GF we've been so far successful in getting clients with our printing business (we offer birthday, wedding invitations, etc), tumblers and pins. Thanks to all those who ordered, although there is a great potential with these business since we are in the Philippines, we are very aware of copy cat :-D. In these kinds of business what you need is a good marketing strategy, contacts and good design, fortunately we have that.
Also I've been working with another business minded people in states. We've been developing his dropshipping business for some time now. It started small but it's getting bigger and bigger, more features are added from the base design. I really must admit that I've learned a lot about business and how to handle a fast phase programming, with the specs constantly changing. Sometimes not after night :-D, but I'm proud of the system though. In this business you can sell his product anywhere and he will be the one responsible for the product itself and shipping. So check it out be an affiliate :-D, www.dropshipunlimited.com. Aside from this we've been thinking of a way to used the balikbayan box in business, I wonder if we can use it to import those unique t-shirts and sell it here or perhaps we can talk to the manufacturer and I'll start marketing here - see I've been transforming into a business minded people :-D.
Now with the other guy who just arrived, where I spent the whole afternoon. His into a new brand of product to export. I must say this one has great potential, in fact he already have orders. So what we've talked about earlier? It's about online marketing tools and strategy, how we can used social networking to promote our products, websites like youtube, etc; bookmarking like reddit, stumble upon etc; blogs, articles and many more. Our conversations and brainstorming was fun though, since I'm a net techie guy and been working on these sets of tools for business. I must say we've accomplished far today.
On another note, we've been designing on a new mobile app in preparation for the Globe Android Challenge, a programming challenge sponsored by Globe Philippines. Last time we've won 2nd runner up, I wonder how far we can come up this time, not bounded by boss hehehehe. Perhaps I can discuss more about the application when the competition already kicked off :-D, it's a secret for now. But it's a wonderful app that have a potential to become a killer.
About my private moments :-D, well been playing chess not alone though but with a computer name ruffi (short for ruffian software :-D). Also I've been learning how to play a song in 3 musical instruments (guitar, piano and violin). The first 2 doing greet, the last one worst. Well I've broke 1 of my violin string what would you expect :-D.
To top it all, I have another secret this year :-D... Good luck to me hehehe.
Well, good night and happy blogging hehehe. Cooldown and ready to sleep.
