About this idea "Marketing"

Hi

I had this idea before and I also do that .

In past , I always in the Taiwan "toberich " forum (build a business your own)

I really like to answer everybody who has problem. Because I trust I can fix their problem and sometimes I can get better answer from their.

I am pretty good at that .. fix problem,  find problem and marketing .

There is the best University and biggest BBS in Taiwan.

Even though ,my article always let the manager mark it and many user also like that and trust me. Therefore I get some cases.

The first case is clothes shop .The owenr asked me many questions..and I find

out she can't keep the shop open. Because she didn't count benefit and cost.So even she sell everything in good price. She still can't make any money.

And she can't invest more money in the shop.So even in the end .She quit the

business. But that still the best way  for her .Sometimes reduce your lost when
the business can't be saved ...At least ..you lost few money than you keep the business and you also earn some experience.

And I still meet some people who wants to get help but doesn't want to pay.

I think that is ok if I just help them fix few problems. But when they think I am
good for them and still request I give them more helps.

I start to charge them but them just quit ....because they all young people and doens't want to pay anything.They thought they can find someone who is free
in the forum even they are not good enough ...
So that's the first problem I meet.

The second problem is race personality . Taiwanese are often build the small business their own. or someone who is rich because their family but they are not as good as their family. One of my father 's friend is .

He is quite rich because his father so he got a good job in the famous business.

And now he is a gas station owener and my father is share holder.

Therefore, when his gas station meet problem....It is also good chenllenge for me .And the gas station can get money or not also relation between us.

So I spend some days to make about 10 pages markething way to him.

Everybody knows that in Taiwan. We can't decide the gas price ourself (if you want to pay the additional fee.that's should be ok) so it's a hard chenllenge to

marketing person.But I did a good job. (will say why I think I do a good job later)  But the station not got more money ...why?

Because the general manger doesn't do what I said. He only trust himself.

(That's is very normal problem in every country but especiall serious in Taiwan)

And in the end ....about 5 years later....Many gas station start to do every marketing way as I made at 5 years ago . And they all get very good raise.

Now  I still put some free ads in my signature file ....That's about

I charge one twd and reply one question...if you think that's is good.

Then I start to charge...but even one twd...No one really want to spend .

There is a girl she start her business recently ...She asked me about the question. But in the end....I gave her any suggestion...She always refused.
 
And she thinks her idea is the best..and she is a little rude...so...

In the end ....she failed . I don't mean if she heard from me she will be successful.But...I trust  nothing will worst than failed .

So...that's a big problem I have ever meet in Taiwan. I really wants to provide free advice to someone if anybody need that... please contact with me...

But...the request is you must trust me and must really serious in your business. If someone who don't really care about their business.

Even I give you the best advice. You can't do it 100%
