Its a function of the number of people you control. \nGathering people together today is what brings the three things that man pursues all through the days of his life which are:\n\n1. Fame (F)\n2. Money (M)\n3. Power (P)\n\nThe reason why Pastors like Adeboye, Oyedepo and co have these three things FMP is because of the large congregation they have.\n\nThe reason why Celebrities (Musicians, Actors, Actresses, Comedians etc) today are famous, powerful and rich is because of the number of people who follow them and buys their products. Those worldly Musicians host big concerts/shows and just imagine the attendance and the money they make from it.\n\nThe reason Mark Zukerberg of Facebook, Jeff Bezoz of Amazon and co are famous, rich and powerful is because of the number of people they have been able to connect together. Just imagine if Facebook were to be a country, It would probably be the largest country in the world according to the statistics below.\n\n\n\nAnywhere there is large gathering of people there is FMP there.\n\nAny App where many people gets registered and are connected together, there is FMP there.\n\nAny business that gathers or connect many people together, there is FMP there.\n\nAnything whatsoever that creates a pool of humans, there is FMP there.\n\nLarge assembly of people creates acceptance which gives Fame and Regard.\n\nLarge assembly of People creates Market which provides avenue for products advertisement, products sale etc, and invariably gives Money and Wealth.\n\nLarge assembly of people creates followership which gives Power and Authority.\n\nIf you can create a product whereby you can get up to 500, 000 people using the product or an app that connects up to that number together, you don blow be that. Because you now have a Wide Acceptance for Fame,\nBig Market for Money Making and Direct Followership for Power.\n\nIt's not about position or wish but by the number of people you control and command. Welcome to the era of Connected Economy.\n\nConnected/Network Economy\n\nI attended a Business Seminar of recent and from what I gained there, anyone who wants to make passive income must dabble into connected economy and some other types of business but what I heard about that of Connected Economy looks stronger and convincing.\n\nThe two leading economies today are Industrial/Material Economy and Connected/Network Economy.\n\nDangote, Adenuga, Warrent Buffet, Bill Gates are all in Industrial/Material Economy because they manufacture things and sell.\n\nJeff Bezoz, Mark Zukerberg and co are in connected economy. They don't manufacture, they just connect people/things together.\n\nLook at Transportation Business, Go Express, GUO Transport, The Young Shall Grow Transport etc are operating in industrial/material economy. But Taxify, Uber and co do not have a single material. They don't have any bus or vehicle or Taxi of their own but they just created a system to connect drivers and passengers together and today they are richer than the so called Bus Transport Companies. And they could reach far to other countries.\n\nConnected/Network Economy is all about:\n\n> Connecting people to people\n\n> Connecting buyers to sellers\n\n> Connecting businesses to businesses\n\n> Connecting wholesalers to retailers\n\n> Connecting teachers to students\n\n> Connecting patients to doctors\n\n> Connecting problems to solutions\n\nIt's all about finding a need/problem and it's solution and creating a system to marry the two together.\n\nA product that almost everybody in the world is using like Google, Facebook etc can turn around the GDP of a country. Its as powerful as that. Connected Economy is the BOMB now. Jeff Bezoz is currently the richest man in the world today. He doesn't manufacture anything but just connect people together so that they can sell books and co. \n\nConnected economy is all you need today. There are many social media platforms today in which their owners are dangerously wealthy just because of connecting people together. Social media platforms because of the high traffic they pull have now been turned to media that can be likened to Radio Stations, TV Stations and Display Arenas for products/services advertisement called digital marketing. Today people make money through affiliate marketing, Ads and so on. It's now a function of how big and popular your platform is. \n\nToday people make money on social media referring people to a social media network site. People now get paid for posting things on social media sites. Sites like NNU, Zinolly and co do these. YouTube pays qualified people (Vloggers) that post video contents on their platform.\n\nToday people work from home. There are platforms that connect people who have jobs/projects to execute with skilled people who can do the job for them. We have platforms like Fiverr, Freelancers, Upwork and so on that connects people who have jobs/projects together with skilled people usually referred to as Freelancers.\n\nToday, there are many apps connecting people to what they want. We have for getting the price of things, food, repair and so on. Apps like Efritin, OLX and co make these possible.\n\nWhen you examine all these ideas critically you will agree with me that the pulling of high traffic is the kernel of these ideas. Most of these sites wants high traffic so that they can become hot cakes for digital marketing and online businesses. For example facebook makes money from advertisement. They already have the market through their subscribers, so its just for you to open a business page with them and they start telling you to advertise with a cost and lo and behold money starts rolling in. Freelance platforms like fiverr, upwork, goLance and co take a percentage of the price you charge a client you got linked up with on their site and that's it. There is this payment platform called PayStack. The platform too is a bridge to connect people so that they can transact money like between a buyer and a seller. And for every transaction made a percentage drops in for PayStack. \n\nYou have to think, find a need/problem and its solution, connect the duo together and be part of connected economy. You too need to blow.\n\nThanks.","signature":"\nWritten by Olumide Olaleye(Olumyco)\nA Programmer and Founder of Olumycosoft.

The truth is that; the fact that you can start and market a business does not mean that you are a good business person.\nThe major difference between a business and a company is STRUCTURE.\nA business is anything you do to make money. For example you can start a business that sells shoes, or phones. And someone and you to pitch your idea. What do you think you’ll write as the problem you’re solving? Because in almost all cases, you’re doing the same thing that all people selling those products are doing around the world. Except if you you want to do something like Apple store where the experience when something walks into the store is careful thought out.\nWhen you run a business, you don’t have to think about hiring people, selling sharing, raise funds (from investors) and all. All you need is just capital to start and that’s all. And when you’re thinking of expanding, you are better off with loans than funding rounds. A well thought out structure mustn’t be there. Just open a store and buy or make what you want to sell .\nBut when starting a company, the company’s structure must be given a careful thought from day one. Most companies if not all have a problem they are solving, and that’s why all of the have a mission statement. And everything they do must be inline with that mission statement.\nA company cannot be run by one person. And they are hardly completely own by one person. Most companies are owned by share holders and “owner” is the highest share holder. Usually the founder.\nCompanies need a lot of money to start compared to business, because those structures are not easy to put in place. And heads of companies must be smart, strategic, and organised. But businesses mostly just needs good marketing.\nStructures can mean, the workers and their roles, documents, permits and all\nTo conclude, there is a thin line that separates business with a company and that line is the structure. So remember, the fact that you’re a good marketer that doesn’t mean you are a good business person. And the fact that you’re not so good at marketing that doesn’t mean you’re a terrible business person.\nEither you run a business or a company, https://www.venmun.com helps people discover, order and pay for your products and services for free","signature":"\nWritten by (seths)\n","camo":"img/rhittenBrand1.jpg","url":"whats-the-difference-between-a-business-and-a-company-20885918934882803","comments":0,"likes":1,"views":24,"day":"Sep. 26, 2019 at 12 : 21 pm"},{"username":"Proptybox","category":"Business/Economy","heading":"REAL ESTATE, THE PAST, PRESENT AND THE FUTURE","summary":"Real Estate industry Has evolved through different systems and today one-click solution is reshaping the industry","content":"It all started as a single soul according to\nthe holy books in the garden and then 2\nand then 4 and now over 7billion souls in\nthe planet earth.\nBefore, people lived in little stratum of huts,\nspread across a little village; basic needs,\neven love was just a walk apart, though it\nwas \"dark\" they said life was good.
