Space Station Incubation Program (SSIP) 2020

Great time spent with a few Startup Founders at the Space Station Nigeria today 10th March 2020, on the initiative “Space Station Incubation Program (SSIP) 2020”.👌

Many Thanks to Quincy Jibril 🙏😊

While on the quest to learn about “The Google Platform & How It Supports Small Businesses”💝, we explored and demystified the following:

(a) The startup founders wanted to know the value the GBG Community can deliver – The GBG success stories led the way. Videos of Alter Youth, Kok Bisa, Kullabs and Start, Grow and Scale your Startup with GBG were very insightful.

(b) The benefits of Google My Business allowed the founders to discover the importance of displaying operating and business hours, phone numbers, and also the enhancement of online visibility and directions on both Google Search and Maps.

(c) We explored the power of Ads i.e. Google Ads, YouTube Ads and Facebook & Instagram Ads.

(d) The founders in addition also saw the productivity that G Suite offers via Customized Gmail, Hangouts, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Forms, Slides e.t.c and also the Google Cloud Platform for other services.

(e) The question “How can we get FREE website” came up. Google Sites was already waiting in anticipation for a hug.

(f) How can I know when my website is crawled? How can you measure the speed of your website, or know if there are issues, or probably where your customers traffics are coming from?

We explored the Google Search Console, PageSpeed Insights and Google Analytics.

(g) How can we keep in touch with people of like-minded interests? Well, we had to unveil the Developer Communities and initiatives i.e. GDG, DSC, GBG, GDE, Women Techmakers, Google Developer Launchpad e.t.c.

(h) I noticed the questions were never going to end anytime soon, and it’s possible they are hooked by an infinite loop.🥰

My recommendation was simple –

Just Grow with Google 😋😊, and you can always leverage on the free training, tools, and resources to help you and your team(s) grow your skills, career, or business.

That’s It – CONNECT . INFORM . INSPIRE 🙏😊

Something outrageous yet relevant, maybe "Jobs to Be Done: When Your Product Strategy is a Hitman"?

Introduction Picture this: you, in your pristine business attire, meticulously assembled to convey an aura of success – pressed slacks, shiny shoes, maybe even a power tie if you're feeling extra daring. Now, visualize that perfectly curated image lighting on fire. Not a raging inferno, mind you, just a persistent, smoldering burn right around the seat of your pants. It's subtle, insidious, and smells vaguely of burnt ambition. Welcome, dear listener, to my world circa, oh... let's say five years ago. I wasn't an executive. Not even a manager, really. I was cog #3542B in the grand corporate machine, churning out spreadsheets, drowning in meetings, and generally being spoken to in a language only vaguely resembling English. Buzzword bingo was the national sport in those hallowed halls. "Jobs to be Done." "Disruptive innovation." "Blue ocean strategy."  I'd nod earnestly, scribbling notes like my promotion depended on correctly parsing th...
