Here are three areas that you will want to focus on in your quest to becoming a successful e-commerce entrepreneur.

Learn Who your Target Audience is
Don’t waste time and money advertising to everyone, focus on the people your product or concept is aimed at. The people you think are most likely to purchase from you! You need to have a clear understanding of who that is, and then create your marketing strategy.  This will help you tailor your marketing efforts, as well as to better connect with your buyers.


Develop a Strong Social Media Presence
These days there is a smartphone in every hand, and a tablet or laptop likely in the other. Which is obviously one reason e-commerce is so profitable. But it also means that your business must have a social media presence- it's simply a crucial ingredient in best reaching your target audience. Social media is an influencing factor in consumers’ buying decisions, use it wisely to drive up interest and sales.

A Smooth and Seamless Experience
Ensure that your checkout and customer transactions are secure, and provide an easy, streamlined checkout experience for your customers and clients. If customer do not feel their payment options are secure, they will not order-- simple as that. Keep to the 3 S’s: Simple, Seamless, and Secure.

Advice for AYO Auditions


 
Follow the Asian Youth Orchestra on Facebook and Instagram for details on 2019’s audition and tour dates. We’ve released the Audition Schedule here.

2019 Asian Youth Orchestra Auditions are nearly here, with our first stop beginning in Manila, on 19 January. From there our panel of jurors will be traveling to Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo, Osaka, Shanghai and finishing up in Beijing on 24 March. In this article we will be giving our auditioning musicians a bit of audition advice- we hope it will offer great help for your preparation.

Please also feel free to reference our audition advice articles from last year:

We hope these tips will help our aspiring youth to prepare their audition music assiduously.


You will be expected to perform an orchestral excerpt and a solo composition of your choice.  Orchestral excerpts can be found here.

Be sure to choose a solo piece that showcases your ability and versatility. A piece with varying tempi and mood shifts.

Plan ahead, listen to recordings of the orchestra you plan to audition for and take note of their style and preferences. You can find AYO’s Top Tracks here on YouTube

Tune your instrument carefully every day-- be sure it is in perfect tune for your big day!

Be confident in your playing. Play with a focused sound that will assure us that you can be heard over the orchestra, even in a pianissimo.

Try to memorize your excerpts, Yes, they will be in front of you -this can really come in handy if nerves get ahold of you- but things happen. Your best bet for a flawless performance is to have the music memorized.

Practice with a metronome. This will help you to know the correct speed you should be playing. Be sure you are not dragging or rushing.

Practice. Practice. Practice.

We wish you the best of luck at your upcoming audition!

Here are some of the commendable goals ROMA EuroGames 2019 hopes to achieve:

  • Fight against discrimination in sport on grounds of sexual preference or orientation
  • Stimulate integration in sport and emancipation of LGBT+ athletes
  • Enable and support the coming out of LGBT+ athletes
  • Support the founding of new LGBT+ groups

There will be 16 sporting events ranging from beach volleyball and rugby, to dance and bowling, as well as special ceremonies, cultural and tourism events and even a "sports village"-- aka 15,000 square meters in the heart of Rome where participants can meet others, relax, and grab a bite to eat and/or drink. It promises to be an amazing time for all, and we highly encourage participation! Please click here to visit their website to learn more and register.
