Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

SIMPLIFICATION OF PARTNER KIT

SIMPLIFICATION OF PARTNER-KIT

Our "Partner Websites" program has grown very slowly. There must be many reasons. I feel one of the reasons could be the process of launching a partner website with help of our Partner Kit!

We need to make this process so simple that

  • a non-technical man could launch it
  • the launch could be accomplished in a few minutes
  • there is no need for a website to enter into a lengthy communication with us prior to the launch
  • any (potential / interested) website gets to know how the program works and what benefit/money the website will get and when, and for that what it has to do, all of these directly from our own website, without having to phone us / write to us.

The "working" of the whole program should be available on our website itself

  • to obtain its User ID/Password etc.,

a website can directly fill-up a small & simple PARTNER DATA SHEET directly on our website and get their Password/User ID email from us within 24 hours (after we receive the PARTNER DATA SHEET by email and check-out that the would-be partner website is WORTH making our partner).

In respect of all of the points mentioned above, I have found the "Associate Program" of AMAZON.com to be the best.

Since we have not become their "associate" yet, I have not been able to see/view their special page

ASSOCIATE CENTRAL

where each partner can see/view STATISTICS pertaining to his own website.

We should see this page (and learn from it), even if it means that we have to become an "Associate" of Amazon.com. I strongly recommend this.

But there is one respect in which we should do better than Amazon.

This is in respect of PARTNER STATISTICS TABULATIONS.

A potential/interested partner should be able to see/view BEFOREHAND, all the (blank) tabulations, so that

  • he knows (and does not have to guess) what all statistics will he get to see about the business that he will bring to us thru his website
  • he is convinced about our transparency (no golmal!). He does not have to take our word for it!

We could even "populate" this DEMO TABULATIONS with some fictitious figures to give an appearance of reality / authenticity!

I think this feature itself will become a big factor in convincing potential/interested partners to join our program.

If there are some websites, which still want to give a unique/different /own "look" to the pages that they pull from our server, we could give them our existing partner-kit (but with just one template – not 26 templates!). In this case, could we consider that the template incorporates our own SIDE BAR?

If this could be done, a visitor could get to see our entire site - and not just a few pages of our site.

For Cyber Cafes / Partner websites and Placement Agencies, we also wish to introduce a payment of Rs. 5/= for each resume coming thru them, provided the resume belongs to EXPERIENCED IT-Professional.

This scheme (incentive) will apply only for the first 12 months (from date of becoming an ALLY).

This payment will be in addition to whatever each partner is entitled to (as % of our fees) in case of "placement/appointment" of his candidate.
