Interview: Mike Faist Isn’t Sure About This Whole Acting Thing
“I can’t tell if I hate acting or if I love it too much,” he said ahead of the debut of the Amazon series “Panic.” Coming soon, a major role in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.” For now, he’s going to Ohio.
By Elisabeth Vincentelli Published May 27, 2021
Tall and lanky, looking as if he were born wearing Wranglers, Mike Faist cuts quite a striking figure in the Amazon Prime series “Panic”: His character, Dodge Mason, is a Stetson-wearing rodeo dude who breaks untamed horses, then soulfully gazes into their eyes.
That, however, is not at all how the character was written in the Lauren Oliver young adult novel that inspired the show, debuting Friday, in which Dodge and a dozen other small-town teenagers face off in a series of life-threatening challenges — think a naturalistic “Hunger Games” with more class war.
After shooting a pilot in 2018 in upstate New York (where the book is set), the production completely rebooted in Austin, Tex., a year later, and Dodge’s back story was changed to better fit the new locale. Suddenly, the school wimp who was interested in cards and magic had been turned into a Western archetype: the strong, do-right loner who doesn’t say much. Faist went with the flow.
“Ciphers can be really boring,” said Oliver, who also wrote the screenplay, “but he manages to capture the power inherent in a certain level of invisibility.”
Dodge is quite a departure for Faist, who is best known for his Tony-nominated performance as the tormented, cynical Connor Murphy in the Broadway musical “Dear Evan Hansen.” Blessed with a rangy charisma and a bone structure that appears to have been carved with a scythe, the actor, now 29, could have easily coasted in “Panic.” But his sensibility is closer to that of such atypical leading men as Adam Driver, and he modernizes a potentially boilerplate part.
“Mike really didn’t want to be a caricature, but I don’t think he ever could be,” said Jessica Sula, who plays Natalie, Dodge’s love interest in “Panic.” She recalled that when shooting resumed in Texas after a Covid-19-imposed pause, Faist chose to live in a trailer on a plot of land with his rescue dog, Austin.
“He’s just so fabulously ridiculous and wonderful,” she said of Faist, laughing fondly.
Faist’s own course has been ascendant since he dropped out of acting school at 18, and his plum role in Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated “West Side Story” as Riff, the leader of the Jets, should put him on Hollywood’s speed dial when it debuts in December. (Shooting wrapped in September 2019.)
And yet the actor spent much of a recent conversation candidly admitting to ambivalence and incertitude. He spent some of the past year driving around the country with Austin and writing a screenplay. He has been turning down offers and is now selling his Brooklyn apartment and heading back to Ohio.
Faist was warm and laid back on a recent sunny morning in Park Slope, and he laughed a lot in what seemed to be protective self-deprecation as he pondered his future, professional and otherwise. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.
How did they spring the new Dodge on you?
It was still the same elements in terms of, “Oh, here’s the new guy,” but instead of, like, a weird magician, he’s now a … cowboy? I was like, “What do you mean, I’m now a cowboy?” They were like: “Yeah, yeah, you’ll be fine. Maybe try an accent.”
You do look pretty comfortable playing a horse whisperer.
I’d never worked with a horse in a production before. There were two of them: a very calm, gentle horse and a skittish one. We just ended up working with this skittish horse because it was actually doing stuff. The scene where the horse moves toward me was not planned or choreographed at all. They are, you know, unpredictable.
It might have been less intimidating than a sex scene. Is the one with Jessica Sula your first as an actor?
Maybe. I don’t know.
Wouldn’t you remember?
You’d think! I did do a romantic scene [onstage] in “A Month in the Country” with Taylor Schilling. I remember getting a pretty [expletive] review. [Laughs.]
Since the fall of 2018, you’ve gone back and forth between “Panic” and “West Side Story.” How did you handle these very physical projects?
For “West Side,” I found these Bruce Davidson photos of Brooklyn gangs from the late ’50s. If you look at their photos, these guys are emaciated, they have tattoos, and they look wired. Any money they had, they would pool and buy cheap wine and maybe they would have French fries or something. Then they were doing drugs. So I was like, “I need to lose some weight.” But my body was totally breaking down. Then I tried to bulk up as much as possible for “Panic” — just eating potatoes.
Did you do any kind of special training?
I started going to the Mendez boxing gym in Manhattan for “West Side.” I was working with John Rosado, who was raised in New York, Puerto Rican, badass. He was like, “I can’t believe I’m training a Jet!”
Your first big job was in the Broadway musical “Newsies,” which is quite dance heavy. Still, was it daunting to audition for “West Side Story”?
I put together a tape, and then they said, “We want you to come back in and dance.” I was like, “Is there any way you could not have me dance?” They were like: “What are you talking about? This is ‘West Side Story’!” The only saving grace is that Justin Peck [the choreographer] and I have similar body types: tall, nothing but arms and legs. They had their work cut out for them in order to get me up to snuff.
Why aren’t you in the upcoming “Dear Evan Hansen” movie alongside your former co-star Ben Platt?
I feel like I couldn’t do it. I started that when I was, like, 21, and was with it for five or six years. When you’re doing eight shows a week, it very much turns into relying on your technique and the job of it. And the show was such a zeitgeisty thing. It really took a lot out of me, and I didn’t really have it in me anymore.
With “Panic” and “West Side Story” behind you, what are you lining up?
Maybe this is so pretentious, but “West Side” was everything I had ever hoped to accomplish as an actor. It’s really crazy, but it was transcendental: either I didn’t feel like I was myself, or I was the most authentic version of myself. I can’t really tell which one. Having gone from having no money, wanting to just be a working actor — I don’t want to just be a working actor anymore. I had that experience. It [expletive] me up.
What did?
“West Side,” in the best of ways. I can’t unsee what I’ve seen. The pandemic nearly killed us and — what, I just want to be an actor? That’s ridiculous. [Laughs.] I don’t care enough. It’s a weird thing: I can’t tell if I hate acting or if I love it too much. It’s not like I don’t plan on doing it. I just don’t want to follow the trajectory of what the industry wants me to do.
Which is what?
Put on a cape and wear a mask. I need to take more agency because no one’s going to do it for me. It’s tricky, but it’s interesting and pretty exciting. I’m going to hang out with my family in Ohio and then start to figure out where I’m going to go. I would like to ultimately be of service and of use; that’s when I feel at my best.

Mobile App Development Trends For 2023
Think of the reasons why the mobile app development industry is expanding at such a quick pace. This is exactly the golden time to build a business with your mobile app development. It has opened the door to new opportunities for success for both mobile app developers and various business owners.
This industry of course has changed to a great extent over time and now its framework is completely different from that old industry. As per the straits research, The worth of this industry was around 197.2 billion in the whole world in 2021 and the success graph of this industry seems to be rising continuously.
Let’s take a look at some of the top mobile app trends for 2023 and see how they might help you achieve your ultimate goals.
Some of the amazing Future trends for mobile app development in 2023
● Watching Reality on The Mobile Screen
Viewing reality on a smartphone screen is a mobile app trend that will be felt shortly. A typical software development company uses the technical term augmented reality for the same. An app developer will blend reality with a mobile app to provide you with a precise experience of the actual world. Some examples of AR in mobile applications include 3D product viewing, home modules, and so on.
● 5th Generation of The Internet
The generation of the internet is evolving, hence the trend of mobile app development. With the increasing speed of 5G, customers want more speedier and performance-driven applications. Undoubtedly, we will see a 5g internet speed-based mobile app in 2023. All the leading software development companies are focusing on developing more and more powerful and faster apps for their customers especially in a country like India with 5G internet connectivity.
● Mobile Ecommerce
Considering the dependence of people on mobile applications, the trend of mobile commerce has also increased at a very rapid pace in the last few years. Businesses now treat mobile applications like an eCommerce platform and align the entire process from product viewing to selling in the app. This trend is going to grow further in 2023 as the best players of eCommerce like Amazon, Sephora, eBay Walmart, Nike and Flipkart have also followed this trend on a very large scale.
● Revenue-Sharing-Based Mobile Applications
Revenue sharing-based mobile application refers to an app, which brings together various independent creators or other people and distributes the total revenue among themselves. Almost all the big social apps come under this revenue-sharing mobile application. Youtube is the most vivid example of this. Apart from this, Instagram, Facebook, etc. also use this revenue-sharing model. So it is obvious that this trend is profitable for today and future mobile apps.
● Motion Design Application
Average customers have short attention spans when it comes to mobile apps. In such a situation, a steady image and text fail to engage customers. Whereas if you make images, texts, and other app particles moveable or motion driven then it will be able to engage customers more. As a result, these motion apps are becoming very popular in recent times and developing as a trend.
● Touchless Experience with the App
Touchless UI-driven mobile applications are the future of mobile app trends. You don’t need to touch the screen to operate the applications. Biometrics validation, face unlock, and gesture control through moving a phone (Shaking mobile to change songs, etc.) are some examples of these Touchless applications trends.
● The App Focused on the Camera
Camera focus application is another emerging trend for the mobile apps business. People are looking for different apps for video conferencing and broadcasting. Hence, the needs for camera-based applications are at its peak, especially due to working from home and the pandemic like covid.
● Apps designed for foldable Phones
Foldable phones are no longer a dream but a reality with the Samsung Galaxy Z and Motorola foldable, and as foldable phones continue to evolve, so does the need for foldable smartphone applications. Therefore, the foldable mobile app UI and UX will be the trend in this sector in 2023.
● Audio-Focused Applications
Apart from the camera and touchless app trend, audio-focused applications are another big trend in the Mobile application development sector. Different podcast apps, conversation apps as well as singing apps are being introduced by the mobile app development company hugely. Therefore it is going to be one of the popular trends for mobile apps.

Image 2: a screenshot of a quote and source.
Julia was twenty-six years old... and she worked, as he had guessed, on the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department. She enjoyed her work, which consisted chiefly in running and servicing a powerful but tricky electric motor... She could describe the whole process of composing a novel, from the general directive issued by the Planning Committee down to the final touching-up by the Rewrite Squad. But she was not interested in the final product. She "didn't much care for reading," she said. Books were just a commodity that had to be produced, like jam or bootlaces.
From 1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four), by George Orwell.
Published by Secker & Warburg in 1948

Selling on Marketplaces vs. Building Your Indian E-Commerce Website
Irrespective of whether you’re a novice or a seasoned online seller, this guide will furnish you with a comprehensive understanding of the avenues available for selling your products on the internet. Even without experience operating a physical store, you can commence online product sales for a profitable outcome.
There are 2 ways to sell online.
Sell Online on Marketplaces
Sell on your website.
Both choices seem appealing. We’ve compared the characteristics of running your online eCommerce company in India and selling online via the marketplace to help you decide. In this manner, our comparisons will be accurate.
Customer base
Marketplace: The biggest USP of any marketplace is its ability to draw a sizable customer base. Clients approach you. You are cashing in on the trust that online shopping websites like Amazon, Flipkart, or eBay have built up. You are not required to run marketing initiatives or use social media frequently. You need to set up your seller account and wait for sales (and reviews) to start flowing in.
Own an online store: You must work harder to draw customers to your online store. Your responsibilities suddenly include storytelling, branding, branding campaigns, Instagram presence, and SEO. However, the benefits are also greater.
Competition
Marketplace: In a marketplace, customers are frequently presented with temptations in the form of the goods of their rivals. Whether the sale comes from your store or one of your rivals, they want a sale. While SEO may not be a concern for you, it will be important to think about how to outrank your rival for eyeballs by ranking higher in the search engine results.
Own an online store: You can compete fairly by having your own online store. You don’t have to accept undercutting deals that make your rivals’ products appear more affordable. There isn’t any opposition. People frequent your shop because they like it and aren’t lured away by other goods once they’re there. And also an eCommerce web development company will also help you in website SEO for your website ranking.
Design flexibility
Marketplace: Since these have design limitations, listing your stuff there is simple. Although you can add pictures and descriptions, the main design follows the marketplace’s standardization strategy. Your company ends up being an afterthought.
Own ecommerce site: Creating your own website using a platform and a reputed eCommerce development company in India allows you a lot of design flexibility for the look and feel of the site. Your store and your merchandise are both yours. You can select from various layouts on most online store platforms. This is your greatest option if you’re trying to stand out in a crowded area.
Marketplace Vs. Own Ecommerce Store
Online marketplaces in India, like Amazon and Flipkart, are at the top of the list as global eCommerce sales increase. You can post your products on these marketplaces and directly engage with clients. Every marketplace has a different target market and pricing scheme. You must compare its features to pick the marketplace that fits your store and brand the best.
1. Selling on Amazon
Amazon, which began in 1994, is now the most successful online retailer in the world. More than quadrupling from 2014’s $88.99 billion to 2021’s $469.81 billion, Amazon’s net revenues are expected to continue their meteoric rise.
Amazon Prime members can access perks like free two-day shipping, video, music streaming, and more when they sign up. Most of its shoppers find it to be the best option available.
2. Selling on Flipkart
Flipkart Private Limited recorded income for the fiscal year 2021 of over 433 billion Indian rupees, according to a poll. Additionally, the e-commerce player saw a 25% growth in revenue from the prior year.
Flipkart, a niche player than Amazon and supports fewer vendors, is a fantastic place to conduct online business.
Creating Your Own Website
A poll revealed that 52% of the sellers only sold through their own website, 42% sold through an e-marketplace in addition to their website, and only 6% said they exclusively sold their products on e-commerce websites.
2020 saw more than 50% of repeat purchases across all categories going to private labels, per a different survey. In the cosmetics sector, approximately 75% of repeat sales were observed. Repeat purchase trends were similarly higher in the other categories—grocery, wellness, furniture, etc.
The benefits of selling your products on your own eCommerce development company in India are as follows:
The platform is yours: Although you will be in charge, setting up and maintaining an e-commerce website is far more expensive than selling your products on a marketplace.
No commission: Even in your own e-commerce business, selling things online will incur transaction costs for each sale, but after that, the profit on the products is all yours. Typically, commissions are set up for third-party websites where you sell your products. These commissions may even be paid to the third party before making any sales.
Deductions from Earnings: In addition to sharing a portion of your profits with the e-commerce platform you utilize, you should anticipate incurring various expenses. These may encompass subscription fees, referral charges, and more.
Analytical Insights: Rather than solely relying on the data furnished by your e-commerce platform, you can employ your analytics tools. Google Analytics, for instance, can assist you in pinpointing your top-selling items and most frequently viewed products, monitoring buyer behavior, and so forth.
If you want to start your online website, 9eCommerce can help. 9eCommerce is an eCommerce design company in India who helps you to make your own ecommerce website that will increase your ROI.

Amazon Affiliate Marketing Mistakes to Avoid
Hey, you! Do you want to avoid getting tangled in the web of Amazon affiliate marketing mistakes? Well, buckle up because we're about to take you on a wild ride through the land of hilarious mishaps and sarcastic blunders.
From not choosing the right niche to overloading your website with affiliate links, we'll show you the ropes of what not to do.
So grab your sense of humor and get ready to laugh (and learn) your way to affiliate marketing success!
Not Choosing the Right Niche
One of the biggest mistakes you can make in Amazon affiliate marketing isn't choosing the right niche. Seriously, it's like trying to sell snow to Eskimos or sunscreen to vampires. You need to find a profitable niche if you want to make any money in this game.
So, let's talk about niche selection strategies, shall we?
First, you need to identify profitable niches by doing some proper niche research techniques. Don't just randomly pick something like 'toothpick holders for left-handed people.' Instead, target untapped markets where people are actually willing to spend their hard-earned cash.
Neglecting to Research and Understand Your Audience
Neglecting audience research and understanding can be detrimental to your success in Amazon affiliate marketing. I mean, who needs to know their target audience, right? Just blindly throw out some random products and hope for the best.
Who cares about research strategies, market analysis, audience engagement, and understanding demographics? Certainly not you! You're a rebel, a maverick, a renegade affiliate marketer who doesn't need to waste time understanding who you're selling to.
It's not like knowing your audience's preferences, interests, and buying habits could help you create content that actually resonates with them. Nah, let's just keep guessing and hope that something sticks. Because hey, who needs success when you can have a shot in the dark?
Focusing Solely on Product Promotion Instead of Providing Value
By solely focusing on product promotion and neglecting to provide value, you risk losing the trust and interest of your audience in Amazon affiliate marketing. Let's be real here: nobody wants to be bombarded with endless ads and shameless plugs. Your audience craves more than just a sales pitch. They want something that educates, engages, and entertains.
So, step up your game and start providing valuable content. Offer educational resources that teach your audience something new. Engage with them by responding to comments and starting conversations. Offer unique perspectives on the products you promote, giving your audience a fresh take. Share your personal experiences with the products, because authenticity goes a long way.
And don't forget to create interactive content that keeps your audience coming back for more. Remember, it's not just about the products – it's about the value you provide.
Overloading Your Website With Too Many Affiliate Links
Avoid cluttering your website with an excessive number of affiliate links. Seriously, nobody wants to visit a site that looks like a Las Vegas billboard on steroids. Sure, affiliate links can be a great way to monetize your website, but there's a fine line between strategic placement and overwhelming chaos.
Think about it: if your website takes forever to load because it's filled to the brim with affiliate links, users are going to bounce faster than a kangaroo on a trampoline. And let's not forget about user experience – nobody likes navigating a website that feels like a never-ending maze of links.
Oh, and don't forget to include that oh-so-important affiliate disclosure. And while you're at it, make sure your website is mobile optimized because, well, it's 2021 and people use their phones for everything.
Ignoring the Importance of High-Quality Content
Make sure you prioritize creating high-quality content for your Amazon affiliate marketing efforts. Because, you know, who needs good content when you can just slap a bunch of affiliate links on your website and call it a day? I mean, who cares about engaging your audience or providing them with valuable information? It's all about the money, baby!
But seriously, content quality is crucial for your success as an affiliate marketer. A solid content strategy won't only help you rank higher in search results, but it will also keep your audience coming back for more. So, don't neglect the importance of content creation and user experience. Your audience deserves better than a bunch of spammy affiliate links thrown together with no thought or care.
Give them the quality they deserve and watch your affiliate marketing efforts thrive.
Neglecting to Track and Analyze Your Affiliate Marketing Performance
To ensure the success of your Amazon affiliate marketing efforts, it's essential that you regularly track and analyze your performance.
I mean, who needs to know if their strategies are actually working, right? Just keep throwing things out there and hope for the best!
But seriously, tracking performance and analyzing data are crucial steps in understanding what's working and what's not. It's like playing a game blindfolded and hoping to hit the target.
Measure your success, people! By analyzing your data, you can identify areas for improvement and optimize your strategies accordingly.
Don't be afraid to dig deep into those numbers. Remember, knowledge is power, and in this case, it's the power to improve your results.
Not Optimizing Your Website for Search Engines
Ensure that you aren't neglecting to optimize your website for search engines. Because, you know, who needs search engine traffic anyway? It's not like people use search engines to find information or products or anything. So go ahead, ignore website optimization and watch your site languish in the dark corners of the internet, where no one will ever stumble upon it.
Forget about doing keyword research to find out what people are actually searching for. Who needs that kind of valuable information? And on-page SEO? Pfft, it's not like optimizing your meta tags, headers, and content for relevant keywords can improve your search engine rankings.
And link building? Nah, building high-quality backlinks to your site is way too much work. Just sit back and wait for Google to magically discover your website and bring you tons of organic traffic.
Oh, and content marketing? That's for chumps. Why bother creating valuable, informative, and engaging content when you can just slap up a few poorly written product descriptions and call it a day?
So yeah, don't bother with website optimization, keyword research, on-page SEO, link building, or content marketing. Who needs those things anyway?
Just kidding - you do! Get to work and start optimizing your website for search engines ASAP.
Disregarding the Importance of Building Relationships With Your Audience
Don't underestimate the significance of building relationships with your audience. I mean, who needs friends, right? Who needs to engage with people? Who needs to establish a connection or create rapport? Surely not you, oh mighty Amazon affiliate marketer. You're too busy swimming in a pool of money to bother with such trivial matters.
But let me burst your bubble for a moment. Building trust and nurturing relationships with your audience is crucial for your success. You see, these people aren't just faceless customers. They're real human beings with wants, needs, and emotions. And if you want them to trust you enough to click on your affiliate links and make purchases, you better start treating them like more than just dollar signs.
Conclusion
So, there you have it! Avoid these Amazon affiliate marketing mistakes, or else you'll be stuck in a never-ending cycle of mediocrity.
Don't bother choosing the right niche or understanding your audience - who needs that, right?
And forget about providing value, just bombard your website with affiliate links like confetti at a party.
Who needs high-quality content or tracking your performance anyway?
And optimizing for search engines? Nah, that's for losers.
And building relationships? Who needs friends when you have affiliate commissions?
Good luck with that approach!

My first short film “Full Circle” took over a year to make. Here’s why.
I starting writing the script in June 2021 but I properly placed the initial efforts into green lighting my short film onto pre production around early march 2022 with the storyboards as the 1st thing to do.I organised 1st pre prod meeting and hiring my film friends as above the line crew in July 2022. Casting finished in late April 2022. Outside of my group of friends, I externally hired a film armourer to cover the legalities along with supplying the prop weapons on set and a talented hair + make up artist for the femme fatale character
It cost around $5k in total to make. Some expenses covered by the exec producer and a couple of my mates but mostly from me.
Equipment purchases
Equipment rental costs
Paying crew
Paying cast
Premiere costs.
Merch costs
Film festival fees
I was busy working on other film related projects and other jobs in parallel to the production. The editor and foley artist didn’t start post production until December 2022. The colour grading on my part took a lot of time perfecting as I was compositing the overall black and white grade along with all the reds present in certain shots. The manual process was abysmally slow as I had to manually scan and composite the monotone and reds frame by frame due to quick actions from the cast.I was also saving up for merchandise and screening costs to prepare for the film screening.
The foley artist was taking a long time as well as going M.I.A temporarily (due to being in between gigs at the time), putting post production to a stand still until all the stems were sent to the post sound mixer.
My best friend that helped me immensely on the short passed away during post production. Had to grieve greatly.
I dedicated the premier to my friend. I also donated my cut of the profits to “Epi-awareness” out of solidarity to my greatest friend. Episodic-awareness is a charity currently in development from the parents of my deceased friend. the aim is to raise awareness on the critical dependancy people have on episodic pens for health reasons along with 2 other agendas. One is to use the donations to supply episodic pens for people who need them but cannot afford them and for businesses to equip into their first aid kits in parts of the world where epi pens are optional rather than compulsory.
After the screening, I Submitted Full Circle to various film festivals around the world whilst simultaneously selling Full Circle onto my website and these TVOD (transactional Video on Demand) platforms;
- Koji
- Gumroad
- Payhip
Whilst Full Circle was going through the film festival process, i also dealt with the remaining unsold merchandise from my premier screening via contacting my local clothing boutiques that sell the kind of apparel that my t-shirts matched the style of. I Had 1 successful consignment deal with a local boutique. Came to a 50/50 split agreement. I left my T-shirts in the store for a month and hoping I get a few bites. Any T-shirts left, i will try to sell via Facebook marketplace, Etsy, Amazon, Wish and of course, ebay. Give it a month to try that method and if there are still any t-shirts remaining, i’ll just give to the rest of the cast/crew (assuming i have one for their size).
Once Full Circle has finished the film festival circuit, I'll self distribute Full circle onto all SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand) & AVOD (Advertising Video on Demand) platforms that accept and monetise short films. I'll write another blog with an update If you wish to see full circle there instead. I’ve also added the Full Circle poster T-shirt to my apparel store YOTKO Apparel if you want to grab one for yourself there.
I write this blog to send a message of hope for first time filmmakers that are all pumped up on creating their first project. Good things take patience as good art is never rushed. Whether it takes an hour or a decade to get your art made and known worldwide, do it.

If yes, then you are in the right place. Because you have the biggest opportunity in 2023. But Before discussing my career, I just want to show you some facts, stats, numbers, and what successful people say about India.
Why I am showing you the facts, stats, and numbers. Because I want to show, you are very close to your success. These facts and stats will boost your confidence that you are just one step away from success.
Facts & Stats
Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon says that "India is going to produce maximum billionaires"
While The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg said that "India is going to the huge part of metaverse"
I have just coated their words. These words are sufficient to understand the economic Internet power of India.
According to the Economic Times Number of millionaires will grow 63% more over the five years. It means we are growing fast as a counter in the world.
In the last 2 years, the maximum number of startups registered. That is really amazing result.
Now we move toward the Henley study. Henley's study says that India will be the fastest-growing wealth market in the upcoming decade.
While Bain report confirms that the Indian Eccommerce user base will beat the US number in the upcoming next two years. Indian Eccommerce will grow at a rate of 25-30% annually for the next five years.
Indian Ecconomic will grow up to 30 billion dollars in just the Eccomerce field.
While Money Control says that India will be the fastest-growing economies in this year. It means if you will launch any product or service in India, the chances of consumption is very fast.
Why is this possible? Because India is a demography that consumes the product or services very fast. So, the Biggest Opportunity in 2023 is for you to get started in your freelancer career. It means if you are selling anything in any sector like travel, tourism, education, hospitality, tech, luxury, or fashion, will sell like crazy.
But now the question is arising that why India is consuming very fast. The answer is very simple. India is the 2nd highest internet user after China.
Internet Consuming V/S Internet Leveraging
According to the Economic Times Report, In India, 50-60% of people consume the Internet.
According to Statista, from 2016-2021, people invested 30 billion dollars in Online advertisement. But the good news is that the data cost in India is drastically low.
But the sad news is that India has the lowest no of web domains registered among top economies. It means Indian people love to consume the internet but don't leverage the internet for their growth.
If your age is between 18-24, then you invest your maximum time on the internet for entertainment purposes only.
So the gap between consumer and leveraged is vast. Hence, it is the Biggest Opportunity in 2023 for you to help small business to make it globally by using the Internet.
I will suggest you that don't be a digital consumer, be a digital enabler.
Digital Marketing Skills
If you have something special digital skill to help other businesses then it is the best time for you. You can help people to list their businesses on Google. You may become a digital marketing agency owner or a freelancer.
Why I am talking about Freelancer.Because Papal Report says that the annual income of most freelancers in India is on average 20 Lakh. Friends, this income size beats the Grade Government job income.
So, you can start digital service at the highest effective, scalable, and low cost. Most amazing business under the sun for you. In a digital service business, you become the owner of your business and can decide your niche, and package yourself.
Everything is in your control. You can work from anywhere everywhere.No one will ask you anything.
So it is the right time to become a pro freelancer or business owner. I just give you one example. You have to close just 6 clients in 3 months. Let's say, if one clients pay you only 30K it means you will earn 1.8 Lakh in just 3 months.
If you retain them for the next 3 months and do up-sell, it means you will earn 3.6 Lakh in the upcoming next 3 months.
What you will have to invest. Nothing, you will have to just leverage the other times.
