Business Strategy

How do you know when you're on the right career path?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

Hello I am priyanka Sharma. I would help you. 1) Sunday blues don’t exist: The Sunday night blues are a real problem for some people – they’ll even spend the whole weekend worrying about beginning work again on Monday. If Sunday blues are effecting you dramatically, it may be a sign that your job isn’t the right one for you. 2) You talk about work constantly: If you can’t wait to tell your friends and family what’s been going on at work that day, then chances are you either hate your job, or love it. Unsatisfied workers take any chance they can to complain about their workload and colleagues, but those who enjoy their job are equally vocal about it. 3) You always go the extra mile: Putting in a bit of extra work is no big deal if you feel passionate about your career. 4) You do things you love doing everyday: If you’re working somewhere and the tasks you have to do don’t suit you, your personality and your skills, then it may be time to look elsewhere. Work should include things that you love doing – whether it’s problem solving or creating things. 5) You just get ‘it’: If you feel passion for the industry and company you work in, you’re most likely on the right career path for you. People who are meant to work in a specific industry or company just get ‘it’. 6) You’re excited and a little scared: Being on the right career path means that the future is an exciting one. Work should keep you excited and stimulated rather than bored. And remember, comfort can quickly turn to boredom. 7) You’re full of ideas: If you’re happy and passionate about what you do, your creative juices should flow. If you feel like you’re mind is full of ideas and potential projects, then chances are you’re on the right track. 8) You feel on top of your game: Everyone wants to go to sleep at night feeling accomplished and on top of their game. If this is how you feel every evening, you’re one of the lucky ones!https://theundercoverrecruiter.com/signs-on-right-path/ For further queries you can consult me .

How should I give out equities: straight away or after testing on a salary?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

Hello I am Priyanka. To understand this you have to go in detail. Determining the Bottom of the Scale So now you know the most you'll pay. The next step is to figure out the least you'll pay. And that's where the market comes in. Market rates set candidates' expectations. Sometimes, the market underprices value. Truly excellent knowledge workers do ten times the work of merely good ones, but they're only paid 20 to 30 percent more. Deciding How You'll Pay So once you know what the job is worth and what your candidates will expect, you've got to decide how you'll pay. Will you offer a fixed salary or hourly pay? Sometimes the choice is yours, but often, there's a common perception among employees that certain positions will pay one way or the other. Protect equity state You’ll want to have an attorney review all your funding documents so that you understand what you actually own and what you’re sharing. While each round of investment presents a new valuation, you’ll need to ensure that there are minimal - if any - restrictions on your equity, such as vesting periods that give you less than what you might think you own.

What would be the most important things to pay attention to for a one person marketing team?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

I am Priyanka... First things first, take a deep breath. Okay. Now, ask yourself one question, “What are you currently spending your time on?” Be honest. If you feel like inbound is taking way too much time, you may be falling victim to one of two things. You are spending more time thinking about your marketing than you are actually doing it. Unfortunately, this won’t help drive results or ROI. You are focusing on the wrong activities to the results you want. This is also not good. To be successful with inbound marketing, it’s essential to be conscious of how you are spending your time. Once you can do that, you are on your way to being a more productive inbound marketer. With such awareness of your time spent, it is easier to decide what to stop doing, what to start doing and what to continue doing. Before we can reach inbound marketing bliss, let’s talk about the habit-breaking and habit-making that can get us there. 1. Keep Track of Time Spent on Training & Research To understand this have to go in detail. . Plan Ahead If you are already setting aside time to plan ahead with your marketing, give yourself a pat on the back - this can be tough to stick to! If you are not yet scheduling planning sessions, it’s time to start. A planning session is not just designed to help you plan out your blog titles for the next 4 weeks, but also to give you an opportunity to see what has been working and what has not. . Get Comfortable with the Imperfections Worrying about publishing only the most perfect marketing pieces? Give yourself a break! For many marketers, aesthetic perfection in the final product of their work is almost non-negotiable. That might make this hard to hear, but seeking perfection is the top killer of being productive. Organize Your Inbox These days, there are many theories about improving email and inbox productivity. No matter what methodology you believe, what's most important is that your inbox works for you, but does not dictate your day. Grouping content together by type, and even going so far as to setup filters, can alleviate the crippling feeling of a growing inbox and way too much content to feasibly read in one day. This also allows you to find your content when you have the time to digest it, not necessarily the second it appears in your inbox. For further queries you can consult me.

How should I set OKRs for my startup team so we can collaborate, do tasks and can measure progress?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

Hello I am Priyanka.. To know about this have to go in detail. Here is a quick list of some of our top tips for setting OKRs at Buffer: Objectives are to be ambitious and should feel slightly uncomfortable. Key results are measurable; they must have a number. Ideally, you’ll only achieve 70% of your OKRs. Getting 100% means your OKRs aren’t ambitious enough. Low grades aren’t to be punished. Be careful not to set too many. Generally, a maximum of five objectives with a max of five key results each is enough. And probably our biggest learning with OKRs: They can (and should) change during the quarter. Especially at a SaaS startup, things happen fast, we learn fast, and the objectives we set may not be the right ones in a few weeks’ time. Our marketing OKRs for quarter two (April through June) included five different objectives that we were excited to take on, each with three to five key results attached. Here’s one OKR for what we hoped to do on Medium last quarter: Buffer's list of OKRs. Setting them is really fun. It is a chance to dream big, reflect on where you’re at and where you want to go, and brainstorm how to get there. Also quite fun? Tracking them! I’ve found a lot of joy in of the system we use for our marketing OKRs. Initial Setup The basic layout is organized like this: Each Objective is summarized in a list title Each Key Result gets its own card under its Objective list Each card has a rich description of the OKR details Labels show the status of the Key Result Checklists One of the best ways we’ve found to track progress on Key Results is to use checklists. These make great sense for the results we’ve set to “achieve x number of things” like blog posts, experiments, and the like. The basics work like this: Set a goal, based on a time period; Determine how much daily progress you need to make in order to reach the goal; Chart this progress on a line graph; Track your daily progress; and, Add this progress to the line graph, too.

How do websites like Bleacher Report attract massive social media engagement and impressions?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

Hello I am Priyanka. To know about this topic you have to go in detail and I will help you in this. Bleacher Report has created an industry-leading game plan with its decision to focus on social media, going where the audience is to increase engagement. Lee Walker, Global Managing Editor of Bleacher Report, discussed the idea of “giving audience the best experience”, through the creation of “hugely shareable content across social media at a rapid speed.” Home pages are dead. Lee Walker notes that people stopped visiting the home pages of sites, and as the habit is lost, “all you have left is the brand.” Go where the audience is. Bleacher Report wanted to grow as a brand and that’s why it decided that it should invest in social-first content. It invested in creative resources, going “all in on all platforms, to where the audience is.” Lee Walker believes that “if you’re creating great content, people will share it” and that’s how Bleacher Report saw a growth to all the social platforms: +213% growth in Facebook +633% growth in Instagram +351% growth in Twitter +5585% growth in Vine The success lies on “treating each platform on its own merits,” as “each platform has a different message.” Their Facebook page for example is focusing on native clips and highly shareable content, while “there’s no need to fight the algorithm changes, work with them.” Their Instagram feed has seen a huge engagement, with Lee Walker adding that they are “confident of telling interesting stories” with the audience appreciating it. Change the narrative. Snapchat is another platform that Bleacher Report is working on, aiming to “put stories that transcend and change the narrative through the currency that young people are using.” The rise of video content. Video content has skyrocketed lately and Bleacher Report has focused on native videos on Facebook and Instagram, creating content that people want to share. Define your actual competition. According to Lee Walker, the actual competition is “time, attention, and eyeballs” and that’s what you should beat with your work. Create consumable content. Bleacher Report noticed that there is a growing female audience on their Snapchat channel, which justified their strategy of not“producing content that is male-focused, only very consumable.” Aim for fun, good, creative content. “Sport will always be great for sharing” but this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be consistent with “fun, good, and creative content.” This is the best way to find the fans and the revenue to keep your brand going. https://socialmediaweek.org/blog/2016/09/bleacher-report-became-worlds-engaging-publisher-social-media/ For further details on the topic you can consult me.

Advertising

What are come ways to generate a concept for an advertising campaign?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

I am Priyanka. Marketing success depends, at least partially, on creative strengths. You may have a logically better project, an objectively lower price, and a measurably longer history than your closest competitor, but if your marketing messages are boring or stale, people aren't going to give them a second glance. Creativity helps you stand out in a world bombarded with advertising, it helps differentiate you from your competitors, and it makes you more memorable in your customers' minds. Use the Environment to Your Advantage These creative environmental ads are SO COOL. Not only are they better than boring billboards, they make an ordinary space into something funny or interesting for advertising purposes. I personally feel like these creative ads came straight from the brain of a five-year-old. The SWOT analysis of the product and the company Before analyzing how to create an advertisement that converts into great results, you should start by performing a thorough analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for both, the company and the product that is to be advertised.

How do I land a job at a VC firm?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

Hi I am Priyanka. Lightspeed Venture Partners Go to the profile of Alex Taussig Alex Taussig Partner at Lightspeed. Focused on tech+pop culture. Current: Daily Harvest, Vector, Zola. Past: thredUP, Jaunt, RentJuice/$Z, $TWOU, $CBLK, $IMPR, Vertica/$HPQ. Feb 21, 2017 VC has a lot in common with investigative journalism. Less paper though. (Source: “Spotlight” Movie.) How to land an Associate job in VC Associate jobs in venture capital are rare. I was fortunate enough to land one of these roles 8 years ago and learned a ton by starting out on this path. Around this time of year, I receive a couple emails each week asking for advice on breaking into VC. Here’s some boilerplate guidance to get you started on your search. Do you even want this job? VC is a peculiar beast. It shares little with product management, engineering, finance, or other previous jobs you may be coming from. Investigative journalism is more similar to VC than these other professions. You develop a nose for something interesting and unknown. You chase down a lead, putting your foot in the door when it’s often not welcome. You scrounge around for data to inform your thesis. You compile your analysis and have conviction to publish (or in this case, invest). Investigative journalism requires resourcefulness, rigorous analysis, and a strong sense of purpose. It also requires a thick skin. You will be told by more “experienced” people that you’re wrong, or that you’re wasting your time. It will take years to develop your “gut” instincts, so you need lots of patience in the meantime. And you’ll make plenty of mistakes. The payoff is huge and well worth the journey, but the journey itself can be arduous. Is that the kind of job you want? Would you prefer it over working with your product team, writing code, or building and presenting financial models? If so, then you might enjoy being an Associate. Find your superpower. No single job adequately prepares you for VC. The best VCs do not share a single background. While the industry is less diverse than it should be, diversity seems to be increasing. Our belief is that diverse firms will outperform over time. Instead of focusing on past job skills or education, focus on your “superpower.” It will likely fall into one of these three dimensions: Access to a proprietary network for deal flow, Unusually deep understanding of a trend or sector, or Some ineffable reason why entrepreneurs enjoy spending time with you. Ideally, you have more than one of these superpowers, but even one will do if it’s sufficiently strong. For example, you may have been an early employee at a successful company and know all the engineers who will likely do their own startup. Or, you may have studied and blogged about a particular sector for years and have deep insight into future trends. Or, you may be excellent at throwing dinner parties that founders want to attend. Whatever your superpower is, figure it out and position yourself around it. Build a firm list. Get intro’s from portfolio company CEO’s. Lists of top VC firms are not hard to come by. CBInsights did one last year. Only 19 firms have more than one partner listed. While the list is certainly not definitive, it illustrates that there are few top firms, and hence fewer opportunities for you to find good fit. You should prioritize those firms where your superpower uniquely fills in a hole on their team, or in the sectors they’ve invested in. Once you have your list, you should request intro’s from founders who have received investment from those firms. Getting the intro is an acid test for your ability to network your way to founders. Plus, an introduction request from a portfolio company CEO is never ignored. Remember: your only goal at this point is to get the meeting. You don’t need to “close the deal” just yet. A few other tips here: Reach out to senior partners. They will have more visibility into the hiring needs of the firm. Reach out to partners who share something with you — an interest, an college or hometown, a publicly stated opinion, etc. Start with a common ground to build rapport. Deeply research the portfolio. Have strong opinions about deals the firm has done, both positive and negative. Don’t worry if the firm has an open rec or not. If they don’t have one now, they may in the near future. Create a sense of urgency. https://medium.com/lightspeed-venture-partners/how-to-land-an-associate-job-in-vc-c4f14aeffafb For further queries you can consult me.

How can I find new International clients who are ready to outsource work to India for my web design firm?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

Hi I am Priyanka. Freelancer and Upwork (formerly oDesk) are freelancing sites that facilitate and streamline the process of hiring virtual (or remote workers). Each of these sites have their own approach, but in essence, all of these companies allow you to do more or less the same thing. You can post a job description, have people bid on the work, negotiate on price, and look at previous ratings and work history before settling on either a contract rate, or a pay-per hour agreement. Generally, money is escrowed (or held) by each of the websites and they release the payment to the worker when the work is complete (skimming a neat profit at the same time – typically 10-15% of money that changes hands. https://www.timedoctor.com/blog/the-top-6-outsourcing-sites-and-how-to-use-them/ For further queries please contact me.

What are some best practices for keeping your momentum during the work day?


Priyanka Sharma

consultant on business,startups digital marketing

Hello I am Priyanka. 1. Practice shaking it off. It’s easy to let defeat settle and completely dominate any success you’ve experienced in any area of your life. But if you practice letting problems roll off of your back, you’ll be a lot happier, and more likely to keep your stride. So, what if your cheat day turned into a three day indulgence? And so what if you didn’t get the position you thought would change your life and career forever? Shut down those negative feelings and thoughts, and shake it all off. Remember that things don’t always go as planned (no matter how badly you want them to). You can always try again (and yes, you are so worth it). 2. Share your experiences with others. A great way to keep your momentum is by including others in your journey. Not only will your dedicated support system hold you accountable, but it will also stop at nothing to keep you on track. Pick 3 people that are great listeners, have always encouraged you, and can help you reframe your perspective in the event something bad happens. Don’t forget to return the favor, and give as much support as you can to the people that uplift you each day. If you can’t think of three people, try networking more or pick three things that you can surround yourself with in the event life hits. These things can be a favorite class, inspirational music or podcasts, or a hobby that always helps you refocus and destress. 3. Be your biggest advocate. When all else fails, sometimes you have to be your own coach. Practice thinking and speaking positive things about yourself and/or situation. After you shake off those negative vibes and reach out to a friend, tell yourself everything is okay and move on to your next course of action. Just because life throws you a curveball you weren’t ready for, doesn’t mean you give up and let your progress go down the drain. Pick yourself off and press on. Momentum isn’t earned, and you definitely aren’t born with it. Momentum is learned, and is something that you dedicate yourself to and practice daily. You can only be as unstoppable as you think. You can only progress and do great things if you allow yourself to. For further queries you can consult me.
