What are some the challenges you have as a start-up?

Whenever one is starting up a business, you think through the costs and profitability of the business, we have thought about it and we know it’s not a very easy thing to wake up and do. It will take sacrifice on our side. All we have to do is create a desire in advertisers to come on board, we have set up tools to help us monitor our site’s reach and these analytics should help us attract advertisers. We understand people like to spend where they benefit, so we are going to make the “how they benefit” part to be at the centre of all that we do, how? Market the site radically, continue to update and maintain the site regularly and keep it entertaining generally.

The beginning is quite humble, we are going to provide free packages to artistes and help them market their content at no charge at all, create a buzz for events at no charge at all and a whole bunch of other things but after a certain period of time”
