Hello everyone,
Have been thinking about the future of this blog lately, what could be and what should be. And I've been getting a lot of inspiration :) To be honest, it is never my intention to make this into a business empire. I supposed it started out as a hobby, a personal channel to be sort of 'useful' to the community for the greater good. But after working on this for a couple of months now, I realised that there are a lot more Good Samaritans out there than the media so epicly failed to credit us human beings for. So for that reason, I feel that this project must have legs and be able to scale up in the near future. And like most things in life, in order to scale up, we've got to prepare for it and work towards a goal. So here I am, re-evaluating the business model. 100% to charity is really a Jesus-type of ideal (you don't have to be a Christian to agree with me!). In order for this 'business' to grow, we will have to retain some profit to at the very least handle the running fee. Of course at the mo' it's just me. But, to be reallllly honest with you, I dreamt of a building a logistics company run entirely by underprivileged people (who would put POS Malaysia to shame! Kidding ^^). So in order to make that happen, yup... our business model will have to change.
And secondly, we need more content. So for those of you who are 'sellers' of any kind - products, ideas, services, etc and would like to collaborate and promote your products, ideas, services via this blog, please email me and we can discuss further. Basically, I'm thinking - instead of you paying advertising money, you could pay via your products and lemme sell em' here :) If you're feeling generous you are welcome to continue donating your out-of-date products, etc, so that you keep getting new eye-balls here and I could link them to your site. This place could be like your 'cheap sale' corner. Hehe, except you're really donating your products for a good cause. OR if you're a hobbyist who wants to sell limited supplies of your product and don't have a channel, we could also talk :)
I'm also thinking of identifying a proper charity. But, truth me told... I'm very apprehensive because anyone who had worked with NGOs before would know that sometimes this isn't an industry that's as 'clean' as it should be. But... we'll see :)
My grand idea (whether I'll reach it in this life time or not) is to branch out as many businesses (micro or not) such as logistics, an aggregating platform of needs (like a community support network - I was involved in something similar before and trust me, it is doable!), production/manufacturing/services (contemporary home made stuff), etc as possible - all managed and run sustainably by underprivileged communities. Why? Because for mankind to step into modern living, we must first and foremost, eradicate poverty. Why? Because it is poverty that robs us of human equality.
Fingers crossed :)
