Starting from next week, I will commence publishing ONE new post on Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas, in direct response to each one of over 200 questions sent to me by visitors to my Farm Business Ideas website. <\/p>\n
To give you an idea of what to expect, here\u2019s the first question I will be posting a detailed (researched) response to next week Tuesday (i.e. 4th December 2012).<\/p>\n
Zainuddin zai_abi <\/strong>(who indicated he discovered my write-up on Facebook) wrote in from \u201cHyderabad a.p India\u201d on the subject of \u201cCost for egg productions\u201d. Here\u2019s his exact message(Edited for clarity):<\/p>\n ====Starts==== I\u2019ll be publishing a detailed post in response to the above enquiry on this blog next week. <\/p>\n Note however that access will be limited to past buyers of ANY of my products or services. Such persons will be automatically assigned personal usernames and passwords to view this premium content that will be published. <\/p>\n Past Buyers: <\/strong>To get your membership account activated, you MUST contact me (click the preceding link) stating your interest in joining my new Farm Business Ideas members club.<\/p>\n Other Persons: <\/strong>If you\u2019d like to be able to access that \u201cmembers-only\u201d premium content post, and subsequent ones. Or if you\u2019d like to be able to send in your question and get answers, send your message to me using this contact form<\/a><\/strong> (click the preceding link) for details of what you need to do. <\/p>\n Once you become a member, I\u2019ll research and publish a detailed post on this blog, answering your submitted question.<\/em><\/p>\n In the course of the past eleven months I have learned quite a lot MORE about catering to the needs and interests of farm business prospects. This has been through the many web contact form enquiries, direct emails and phone calls I have received.<\/p>\n I have found the web form enquiries especially useful in narrowing down to the specific areas majority of my farm business ideas articles readers are interested in<\/p>\n Quite recently I received yet another web form enquiry from a prospective buyer of my Ration Formulator spreadsheet app. The gentleman who I will call \u201cY\u201d, runs a farm business in Kano state. After I sent him purchase details, he wrote back saying:<\/p>\n ===Starts=== I went on to explain to him that compared to the really sophisticated Excel applications<\/a> I have built for clients, the Ration Formulator<\/a> is very elementary \u2013 so that giving him a trial version would effectively amount to giving him the fully functional app. <\/p>\n The alternative would have been to offer him a compiled EXE version setup as a trial. However, I am still reluctant to introduce that \u201cbreed\u201d of my applications in the local market. And then again, the pricing for those ones is much higher \u2013 and not likely to appeal to my naturally price-conscious fellow countrymen.<\/em><\/p>\n In subsequent phone discussions I was able to gather that \u201cY\u201d was concerned that he might need to know how to use MS Excel in order to use my Excel-VB driven Ration Formulator.<\/p>\n And that was when it hit me<\/strong>. The reason he was reluctant to take the buying decision was a fear that the app had a steep learning curve. <\/p>\n I assured him that the whole essence of using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in conjunction with an intuitive Graphic User Interface<\/a> (click preceding link to watch Youtube video) to eliminate the need for a user to interact directly with MS Excel. <\/p>\n A floating modeless data entry form is all the user needs to work on, and clicking a few buttons instantly generates a livestock ration formula. <\/em><\/p>\n With that clarification, \u201cY\u201d asked me to send him the account details so he could make payment.<\/p>\n After that conversation with \u201cY\u201d, I did some thinking and came to the conclusion that I need to stop assuming every visitor to my website will readily find answers to all the questions they may have about the solutions I offer. <\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s why in addition to publishing answers to questions you send in on Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas, I will henceforth periodically publish \u201cEducational Commercials\u201d about every one of my products and services targeted at Farm Businesses.<\/p>\n The first will be on the \u201cRation Formulator\u201d. And it will be out the same day I publish the Question and Answer post.<\/strong><\/p>\n I built this application to help people reliably formulate balanced rations by freely using ingredients of their choice. <\/p>\n That\u2019s why I am always open to exploring ways to working with buyers to make use of it to achieve their goal of successfully formulating rations to meet various needs.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s been exciting to see how people from different places within and outside the country have embraced it \u2013 with great feedback too. I\u2019ll be publishing some next week!<\/p>\n So, let me summarize. I\u2019ll be launching the earlier mentioned special members only section on my website (accessible via password only) where all of the new content mentioned in this post will be published. <\/p>\n All past buyers of the handbook and software get automatic ONE year of FREE\u00a0 membership. <\/p>\n In addition, all members get a permanent 40% discount to purchase any of my other products or services whenever they want during the life of their membership.<\/em><\/p>\n Towards this end I'm currently building a Farmers Database based on information submitted by over 250 farm owners who have contacted me from my website. They will all be notified by SMS and email from next week.<\/p>\n IMPORTANT NOTE: <\/strong>For past buyers, to get your membership account activated, you MUST contact me<\/a> (click the preceding link) stating your interest in joining my new Farm Business Ideas members club. All other persons will need to contact me<\/a> for details of how to get on board.<\/p>\n I look forward to welcoming you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Starting from next week, I will commence publishing ONE new post on Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas, in direct response to each one of over 200 questions sent to me by visitors to my Farm Business Ideas website.
