    TEN Talk: Building a Successful Online Business

    A lot of people ask me questions about the who, what, how type issues we deal with on a daily basis when it comes to running an online business.

    The best place to address some of these questions and start what I hope would be a educational discussion with people who run online businesses or are interested in starting up online would be TEN (The Entrepreneur Network).

    Drop me a PM if you do run an online business, I'd like for some other entrepreneurs to be involved in the discussion.


    Thursday, September 8, 2011 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm
    Main Topic: Building a Successful Online Business - Dealing with technology, people and customers
    Presented by Shri, Founder of GeoClicks


    Going from working 18 hours a day on a startup to spending weeks on a super-yacht with a laptop is every tech-entrepreneur's dream. In between these two stages, a business owner needs to deal with several questions, such as:

    • Is your vision really scalable and profitable?
    • Should you build a team or hire consultants?
    • What happens when the "bad guys" find your business?
    • Can you disconnect and leave your business to your employees?
    • Is Hong Kong the right place for your tech business?

    After the presentation, the session will continue in an interactive Q & A format where members and guests are encouraged to discuss relevant issues with our guest speaker.

    About our speaker: "Shri" is the founder of GeoClicks. Every day, over 50,000 people connect to GeoClicks' online communities like GeoExpat & GeoBaby or buy books, toys and more on ShopInHK.Com. Having built a "mom and pop" business that affects people globally, Shri will share his opinions on issues that a growing online business must consider and plan for.

    Venue: Skylark Lounge
    1/F Parekh House
    63 Wyndham Street
    Central, Hong Kong
    Tel: 2801-6018

    Happy hour 2 for 1 drinks will be in effect at Skylark from 6:00 to 9:00.

    Hope to see you guys at the event on the 8th.

    I suggest when you get your super yatch that you name it M.S. Spell Checker.

    Thanks Boris, fixed it and updated the organizer.

    I can barely figure out copy-paste, unlike you English teachers turned cyber-ninjas.

    My yacht capsized and it's been a bugger getting the water out my laptop.

    oh too bad I will be on my yacht (errmm.. business trip to Japan) next week.
    I could have shared some of our experience building up kawaii shop modeS4u - cute stationery, fabric, bags, bento boxes and more

    Is there anything else related to online businesses coming up?
