Things every start up growth depends upon [2026 Version]

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

Even if you don’t have a perfect idea, to begin with, you can likely adapt.”

–Victoria Ransom, co-founder of Wildfire Interactive. This quote necessarily highlights the fact that in order to encounter a consistent growth in the journey of start-up being adaptive is mandatory. Handling a start up by putting your best foot forward every single time and yet facing some considerable number of failures is not everyone’s cup of tea. Not everyone is oozed with enough passion that would make them keep going despite everything.

Hence, here are 6 such start-up growth tips only for those night owls who believe in making the difference, be it smaller or bigger.

1.Set goals straight – When I say set goals I mean set small goals, set big goals but most importantly set realistic goals. Owning a start-up is a responsibility and to grow you are required to prepare goals. Set deadlines for achievements say in a month your goal should be branding while in next month it should be data creation. Setting smaller goals before leaping for bigger ones ensures the correctness of your direction.

2. Watch the market – The rapid changes in the market should be keenly watched and studied. As an entrepreneur, you must not only take care of your organisation but also your competitors. Since the market is highly volatile, being on your toes is necessary. Before you even make a move watch what the market is up to!

3. Building a team –No start up can pave the path of glory without building a team. When the employees recognise their goals in the company’s growth they finally begin to diligently work towards it. In a famous quote this sums up as – “If you wish to go fast, go alone; if you wish to go far, go together”

4. Be adaptable – Being adaptable is one of the key points that each start-up would require to do. Without this streak of adaptability, it is tough for any start up to survive. A regular research process done in the market shall keep you updated with the trends that are necessary to follow.

5. No compromise on ethics – initially given the number of hurdles your start up faces it makes you vulnerable to undue and unethical practices to take it ahead. Do not fall into the trap. One of the deadliest things you can do to your start up is certainly compromising on your ethics and keeping the reputation on the stack.

He said, “Don’t tell your mom.” Was the first lesson I remember from my father.
He took me to this place, shady and dark, with only laughter of men.
Thought of the shooting of ‘Men will be Men’ of those eras would be going on.
I couldn’t figure out what it was until we sat & my father told me to taste it.
If I wanted to taste it, I would have. But, he insisted me to taste it.
I took a sip and it tasted like feet. I did my bad face.
He then said, “Don’t tell your mom.”

I always wanted to have one look, that one look
That one glimpse, one stare, one glance, from
The other side of the shelf in the library.
I am a reader and I always weave story because
I guess it actually don’t happens to us, does it?
I go & scroll the rows and columns of books
I lean through the thick and thin holes
Through which only a sleek of light could peek
But, it passed, it passed, pretty enough
To make an eye contact that takes them forward,
Further and far to the future.
I always imagine how the world would stop
Behaving, speaking, listening, and seeing
How the earth wouldn’t rotate and sun wouldn’t revolve.
I just don’t know
How the romantic eyes would glitter on the other sides of 1000 romantic stories written and crossing their boundaries.
I am sure it must be delightful.

I gave him my old ear plugs
It’s my birthday, he said
Actually I don’t remember my birthday, he said again
Yes, I don’t know my birth date, he said sadly.
But, happily again, he continued looking at me,
I will celebrate today and this date onwards as my birthday
Because for the first time in my life,
Somebody gave me something.
That’s how the birthdays today are celebrated, right?
I speak nothing. He paused and thanked me for the old gift
Which will bring a new life to him.

[Updated] Tips to receive High-Quality Leads from your Online Platform

Posted on by Bhavik Sarkhedi

The survival of a company – whether big or small, depends upon the online presence a lot. One must understand SEO so that one can increase the flow of traffic along with increasing awareness among people about the company. SEO experts are greatly in demand now. But if one does a bit of research and follows the right steps, your content will definitely get more footsteps and feedback. According to a survey done by HubSpot, a simple search query begins with the help of a single search for some keyword. Around 80 per cent of traffic in a website comes from such searches.

One must not hesitate to experiment if your aim is to stay on the top of the SEO charts. Moreover, Google is the most popular search engine in the world. Hence, make it a point to stay updated with the latest news in SEO updates. Research a bit on your own, and try different methods of SEO. You will realise with time that you can be your own SEO expert with experience.

It is helpful if you do an SEO audit for your online platform. It might help you discover the reasons as to why your website is deprived of the traffic that it deserves. Nowadays there are a number of professional services which provide you with SEO services, but if you have a bit of extra time on your hands, you can do your own research and be an SEO expert. This might help boost sales in the near future. An audit shows where your platform stands in the market, thereby letting you build strategies so as to boost both traffic and sales. It may also help retain the customer base with required modifications.

Try to understand the demands of the customers. For instance, Google is a company which deals mainly in data services. It is contrary to an advertising company. The Google team understands that, and strategizes accordingly. The features and tools they design have the sole aim of acquiring data from users so as to build a strong base for their Search Engine. Likewise, you need to focus on what the people expect from your company. Bring in innovations into the products and services needed by the customers. Content specific to such necessities will attract customers and lure them into trying out your products and services. Hence, customer feedback is of great essence for SEO.Offer your customers something of value for free of cost. It contributes to trust building measures between the customer base and the company. If you indulge in mailing list advertising strategies, then providing some service free of cost appeals to customers more and more. Sometimes a simple gesture of discount coupons, or access to some special white paper helps in bringing in customers under your umbrella. Give visitors a reason to return to your online platform again and again. High-quality content is a must for achieving the same. Update the old content on your website from time to time. Keep customers informed about the new enhancements and new marketing models of your company. Leverage your online presence by upgrading your old posts. This would take your platform higher on search engine results.
