Retail Industry

What non scalable things can I do to validate demand for this?


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

You'll just have to create an Excel Spreadsheet, with the retailers and contractors. Then you'd have to manually match them, and then you'd have to call them to find out how the gig went. Just run it as if YOU ARE THE PLATFORM. So basically, you'd have to do manually what the platform would do if it existed.

Online Marketplace

I want to build a two sided marketplace for creative industries.


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

I'd say work on the supply side. Only when you have a good quality supply side can you start to work on creating the demand. That's how Uber started too. But you must work on the 2 simultaneously, with a focus on the supply side, initially.

Mobile Apps

Is creating a similar product in a competitive market thats only major point of distinction is a much lower cost to customers a good idea?


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

If your cost is very low, it can be a great idea. Look at Kogan.com that built a successful electronics retail company online, a highly competitive market, but the idea became extremely successful based on his core competitive advantage, i.e. low cost. Just depends on what sort of cost advantage you can provide!

B2B Marketing Strategy

What can I do to build trust to acquire corporate clients?


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

You can write a book. Writing a book builds your authority around a topic, especially with corporate clients and makes you look more trustworthy.

Content Creation

As a brand new content creation agency, how do I get new clients asap?


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

Co-incidentally, I ran a content creation business virtually, and had the same problem. You need to identify clearly who your audience is depending on the type of content you produce. So if you make infographics, maybe a highly technical data driven client that is looking to present their content in a more interesting manner would be an ideal match. Then when you do find out who your ideal client is, if they're in the B2B space, I'd say email marketing works well. You'd have to reach them on email to figure out if they'd like your services. You might need to email about a 1000 people to even just get a couple of leads, like 2 or 3 that actually become paying customers. I'm happy to jump on a call and share more information if you'd like.

Entrepreneurship

How to start entrepreneurship at just 17


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

There is no age for starting entrepreneurship. You can start whenever you feel ready. In fact, your youth will give you more energy, and "ignorance" to get started since you may not know everything, but you'll still keep going. More importantly if you start young, you have an advantage compared to those who start late, because even if your venture failed (which it might), you still have more chances to give it a shot since you'd still be young! So my advice would be to just begin!

Job Coaching

Why my Resume aren't grabbing the attention of the recruiter


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

Have you tried making a video CV? Is this something you need help with? I can help you with the script, and if you can do the video, I can help with editing too.

Business planning

What are the contents Will be constitute in business plan?


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

I'd recommend using the Lean Canvas by Eric Reis. It's a one page business plan you can use, and then you can keep adapting/iterating along the way to test your assumptions. No point wasting time on a 100 page business plan that fails the minute you touch the marketplace in the real world.

Copyright Law

How to protect intellectual property like my coaching method?


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

Look, I'll tell you straight up: 1. Why are you looking to get IP Protection on your coaching method? 2. Is it hard to copy your coaching method? If it's easy to copy, just don't bother wasting several thousand dollars on IP protection because people are going to copy anyway. It all depends on how easy or hard it is to copy your coaching method.

Immigration

Should I go niche or be a general visa/immigration platform?


Akshay Sachdeva

Innovation Consultant & Entrepreneur

I'll give you an unconventional answer. The best way to know which one is better, is to try both. Yep. No point starting niche and then going broad, or starting broad then going niche. Just invent an alter ego for both, until you realise which one is better. You will have to work twice as hard, but it will be worth it in the end.
