She has much experience with the ups and downs of trying to internationalise a personalised product online. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Internet itself is a global business and you need to make sure that your product or service is in this business. There are many steps in internationalising your online business, including choosing the right e-commerce channel where it will be displayed as well as knowing which translation and localisation company can be the best solution partner for your needs. BEST MOMENTS “I think localization is the key, having a translation company that can actually know about localization and search engine optimization because it translates till the cows come home, but if it's not going to write them, it's not going to write on Google or anything else for being nowhere but then you're not going to get very far and it could cost you a lot of money as well.” “If you're a reseller like a merchant, obviously, that's going to be slightly different. Because you need more automation you can go to market much quicker or going on something like an Etsy if you're into crafting things for Amazon or an eBay depending what you're selling. And you can still you know, you need more automation but you can, you can still do okay, it can get to market faster and it can grow faster, probably. But then you also lose a percentage, obviously, to up you know, 15 to 20% or roughly 15% For most of them...if you're a brand maybe though, so you basically it's your product that you make that no one can replicate, and you have the rights to it and so on then you have less skews for product codes. So you have higher profits as well because nobody can replicate your product, you'll make bigger margins and you may be able to get a quicker excellent longer term. I would say that you'd be probably better to have your own site.” “I think there is no right or wrong of which is exactly the best but it does depend a bit on your turnover level. You wouldn't want to go for something like Magento e-commerce is maybe not the right platform. If you're really small like under 300,000-pound turnover perhaps then you would maybe look at like a Shopify or something initially and then you can move on to something like Magento.” “Take advantage of your current audience would be the biggest tip that people forget completely and getting you know, sharing friends or friends get give them incentive to share your travel.” ABOUT THE HOST Levent Yildizgoren, the author of 'Good Business in any Language', is an award-winning entrepreneur, localisation professional, and a PRINCE2 qualified project manager.

The patriots trapped the [CB]/[JB] in their agenda, they were hoping they could get another country to fill the oil void, now they can either continue down the path or restart oil production in the US. Brazil bank now allows customers to purchase Bitcoin. The [DS] is afraid, they have lost and they are fighting for their lives. They are trying everything, but it is failing. The J6 hoax broadcast is falling flat and the people are not believing the propaganda. The people see it as joke. [GM] was just sentenced to 20 years, low man on the pole. One leads to another which leads to another. Sometimes it's the people in the background that are of greater significance. Some investigations have not been made public. The [DS] system is collapsing right in front of their eyes.

Following up on our recent deep dive into the housing crisis, today we’re taking a deeper look at affordable housing. There’s not enough of it in this economy, but getting more built is a hard nut to crack. But what exactly is affordable housing? And, what’s considered affordable these days? Experts say there are generally two large buckets. Big “A” affordable housing is publicly subsidized units that are intended for low-income households. Small “a” affordable housing is generally considered housing priced at no more than 30% of a household’s budget. Either way, there’s a shortage. “Part of the issue is that after the last recession, we had more higher-income renters who were stuck in the rental market or who chose to stay in the rental market longer. So then we just see rents continue to rise,” said Whitney Airgood-Obrycki, a senior research associate at Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, which just released a report on the state of the nation's housing. On today’s show, Airgood-Obrycki makes us smart about the realities of America’s affordable-housing crisis and its impact on the broader economy. In the News Fix, we’ll discuss a new report that may offer clues about where all the affordable homes may have gone. Plus, the Federal Reserve takes consumers’ attitudes about inflation seriously. But it turns out that measuring those attitudes isn’t exactly a hard science. We’ll explain. Then, we hear from listeners about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, mortgage rates and old school typing rules. Here’s everything we talked about today: “The State of the Nation’s Housing 2022” from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University “Biden administration creates plan to increase affordable housing” from Marketplace “Where Have All The Houses Gone?” from the House Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations “The Strange Art of Asking People How Much Inflation They Expect” from The Wall Street Journal “At least 50 people found dead in abandoned 18-wheeler in San Antonio” from The Texas Tribune “Two Spaces After a Period or Just One?
