GOD will help you to fight COVID-19

GOD is my inspiration to support girls and women all over the world to start selling and to grow their hair and beauty business. GOD has been my inspiration to work on How to Sell Hair Extensions since 2012 and HE keeps on doing so. I am sure, GOD has the answer to fight the Coronavirus.

It is amazing, but when talking to women about their dreams to start selling hair, they energize me to go for more. It’s like through every ambitious and enthusiastic start up or reseller, the LORD pushes me for the best. If we succeed, I thank the LORD, if I fail, I blame myself I did not try harder.

How does GOD help you to fight the Coronavirus?

Today, we all feel the pressure of the Coronavirus on our society, our business, our grandparents and of course on our kids. We need his support more then ever. This virus, it makes us doubt about a lot of things. How to make sure your kids will get the right education when they can’t go to school, how to comfort your sick grandmother but keep a safe distance at the same time?

At the very same time you have to think on how to earn money, how to make sure there is food on the table or a roof above your head.

This is the moment you must open all your senses. Your eyes, your ears and your noise to inhale the support others can give you. To fight the Coronavirus all you need to do is to keep on having your faith in the LORD and to be there for others.

We all can fight COVID-19

Coronavirus or COVID-19, what’s in a name? You can fight this virus be showing interest in others. Listen to their stories, ask them how they are doing. Sometimes you opt to make a phone call, or you talk to them at a safe distance. Chat with them and tell them you care. We human beings need the attention of others. Most of us will understand, because of the virus, you can not hug them or shake hands. It is very difficult to write a rain check when you feel you must embrace the other.

But the good thing is, all over the world we see people who genuinely care for each other and who make sure we all can fight the Coronavirus.

Because of that, I will help you to fight Covid-19, I will pray for you and your loves ones. I will pray to make sure you are okay; you will stay safe and healthy. I will pray if you feel sick, you will feel the comfort people care about you. Even if they are very far away.

It is not 1,5 meter or 2 meter distance that keeps us apart, it is the love and care for each other as humans that will hold us together.

Selling Hair in Nigeria without capital

Ready to start selling hair in Nigeria without capital?

Have you been dreaming for a long time to start selling hair in Nigeria, but you do not how? Read how to start a hair business in Nigeria. Today can be your day, because we are rolling out a new business model especially for your hair business in Nigeria.

According to Statista Nigeria has about 154 million internet connections, mostly mobile at the end of 2020. That means you have online access to a very wide audience.

Selling hair with a professional web store and all the hair your clients will like, with the lowest investment of the hair industry in Nigeria.

Now you can start a hair business in Nigeria without cash

You have the passion to sell hair to women and girls in your city or even nation-wide, but you lack the capital to purchase the hair?
No need to keep on dreaming and to miss the opportunity to make money, with a hair business in Nigeria. So often, when I chat or talk to women from Nigeria, they make me enthusiastic about their business ideas. Many have a clear idea on how they will change the hair world in Nigeria. It is very inspiring to have these conversations, but too bad most of them have the same ending. The question: How much do I need to start a hair business in Nigeria? And often they lack the capital to start selling hair in Nigeria.

That made me feel very bad. I know ways to get a loan in Nigeria, but not everybody qualifies. How to get all these beautiful ideas to start a hair business in Nigeria on the market?

So, I decided to solve that problem for once and for all, as of today you can start selling hair in Nigeria without capital thanks to our dropshipping hair extensions offer. Plus an affordable website design for top stores. 

How does dropshipping in Nigeria work?

If you sell hair, you make a profit because the price your client pays is higher than the price you pay, your purchase price. This profit margin is for your expenses and the reward for the risk you take to start a business. You know the lower the purchase price for you, the higher profit margin you can make. But to get a lower purchase price, you need to buy a higher volume of hair, than retail.

Buying hair at wholesale prices is often the problem, because two objectives work against you:

  • The supplier will only give a lower purchasing price when you buy a high volume and;
  • Clients have different needs, to cater them you need to have a broad product offering

You need to buy much to get a discount, but you also need to by some bundles of everything!
With drop shipping you can offer a broad product offering, but you do not have to buy the hair first. But you will get the wholesale price, because the supplier knows you will over a period buy larger volumes.
The orders will be shipped to you, a pickup point or straight to your client. Because the supplier knows this model will only work if they respect your relationship with your clients, they will not steal your client.

Do not shut up because of the novel coronavirus!

Do not shut up because of the novel coronavirus!

Feb 28, 2020 | Get Help, Launch Your Web Store

Do not shut up because of the novel coronavirus, keep talking hair!

Many resellers of hair imported from China are facing difficult times. In this crisis, caused by novel coronavirus there are no borders, we all face similar kind of challenges. A travel ban will not stop the coronavirus, it will only hurt the business more. Also, all hair stores all over the world, sourcing hair from China, face with the problem where to get the hair from? China is the world’s largest exporter of human hair.

The factories collecting the hair and producing human hair products are still not at the full production level. Today a significant part of the factories still deals with workers who stay at home or supplies not delivered. Indian hair suppliers, for example, face difficulties in exporting the hair to China as we know.

The novel coronavirus shows again how much we depend on each other in the current global economy. It will take at least till the end of the year before a vaccine will be at the market. Even if China will be able to master the outbreak and get back to normal production, the demand will lack behind estimations. Overseas buyers are to occupied dealing with the virus and not capable to buy Chinese products. They are or in quarantine or have limited access to the markets.

The expectation is the world, or at least most developing countries, will face economic slowdown. Or even a recession due to the novel coronavirus. Your clients will buy less often new hair. At the same time, they will still feel the need to look and feel good. They might look for cheaper hair, or alternative products. Or wait longer before they buy new weaves.
Does this mean you have to wait until the virus has become a normal sickness? Do you have to close your hair business for the next coming months?

How to beat the novel coronavirus

No, please do not pause your hair business because I want you to stay in business. Let your clients know you are there for them. The time and the money to buy hair will come back. The novel coronavirus will not be there for ever. You want your clients to spend the money in your hair business when the times are better, right.
There are a couple of business strategies to stay in business long enough to be able to pick up the higher demand when this crisis is history. The most important and cheapest one is to increase the interaction with your clients. Even if you cannot sell hair.

Make money with your expertise

Use your knowledge and insight of the hair and beauty market to write the best blog postings ever. If the business is slowing down, use the free time to go out and look for hair and beauty trends. Share your experience in a blogpost or on social media. This is the best time to promote your brand and your expertise.

Writing blog postings and taking pictures will not cost you much money. You can create content that will be attracting leads and clients for a long time into the future. Having a business does not always allow you to divide enough time on your marketing strategy. Use this crisis to boost your marketing effort, and again without hardly spending money.

You can also promote the business of others, and they will be interested to pay you for this. Make sure the products and services you promote do fit with the ideal client needs and preferences. If you can also allow some AdSense advertisements on your website or blog. Not all over the site, but you can add value to the relevant blogs.

Interact with your clients

Social media is a great, but time consuming, tool, now you can interact more with your visitors. If people leave a comment, you can now respond much faster. Big chance they are still online after leaving the comment and when you respond in real time you can keep the conversation going.

Let me hear in the comments below how you deal with this.

How a poor product description kills your hair sales!

How a poor product description kills your hair sales!

Feb 27, 2020 | Prepare for the Launch

Home ( Page 10 )

Often the product descriptions in online stores do not sell

A poor product description on your web store has a negative impact on your sales. Too often we lack the time or inspiration to write a compelling product description. That’s a waste of all the effort you have done in finding the best hair for your clients and selecting the best images to convince the online shopper you have what she is looking for.

The purpose of a product description is to share the right information to your customer, so she can make a buying decision. Too often the descriptions of the products are poor in content and explanation. Some store owners like to copy-paste the content for the various products, without sharing valuable information to the visitor of the website. By doing so thee hair re-sellers are shooting themselves in the foot by getting lower sales than possible.

Free up some time to scroll through your product pages and be a judge for, all the descriptions of the hair and beauty products.

A product description exclusively for your ideal client!

Writing the description for the hair on your web store, you need to consider your ideal client. Your ideal client is the client that always want to buy from you. You have put her needs in the center of your store. You know what she needs and how she communicates. When writing your product descriptions, you need to write with the Ideal client in the back of your mind. What words she is using, what is important for her to make her decision before buying any hair product. If you talk hair, make sure you talk like her!

Tell her what she can’t see

Your ideal client is looking for a solution for her hair problem. Your product description should be an explanation of the solution for her problem. It should show your hair will solve her needs. Let your product description tell the solution you offer to her.

You’re selling online, so do not forget your potential customer cannot feel and touch the hair. You make the feel and touch sensation by providing high resolution images and videos nominated for awards. More important is to convince her by using the right words. Let the reader of the descriptions imagine what it would be to own your product. The magic word here is “Imagine”. Start the sentence with the word “imagine” and finish it by explaining how your reader will feel when she owns and wears the product, your hair brand!

Remember, you are not selling bundles of hair strands, you are selling an experience.

Do not tell what everybody is saying already

When writing your product description, you should avoid using descriptions that are to general. I mean, everybody is selling high quality hair. Nobody sells bad hair!

Instead of describing the quality of your hair, you can describe the bonding method, or how the hair is processed. By sharing these kind of product details, you still can talk about the quality you deliver without telling your client what everybody else is doing also. Be unique!

Less is not always better

When writing for a blogpost, or any text on the internet, the advice is “Less is more”. You should not use too many adjectives. But in order to make your visitor fall in love with the hair, this rule does not apply anymore. Seduce your visitor with the most descriptive adjectives you can find. Do not underestimate the power of adjectives, to increase your sales!

Make your description scannable

Even if you have a small description about your products to share, help the reader to find as fast as possible what she needs in a product. Like, use headlines, bullet points, be generous with white spaces and increase your font size to promote readability.

Now start selling!

For the next two weeks, allocate 15 minutes in your schedule to read the product descriptions you already use and see how you can bring them, using this post, to a higher, more sales-oriented level. This investment in time pays back immediately, less question marks in the brains of your visitors and they have more arguments to buy your hair after reading your very persuasive product descriptions!

You can get COVID-19 by touching a surface informs CDC

You can get COVID-19 by touching a surface that has the Coronavirus on it and then touching your own mouth, nose, or eyes. However the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not think this is the main way the Coronavirus spreads.

CNN has reported more and more hair re-sellers face a shortage or at least higher prices for the human hair they import from China. Production is still below the regular level and on top of this the uncertainty in the market leads to lower demand.
This is often a combination between lower spending power for the consumers because many countries are at the brick of recession due to the Coronavirus outbreak. And, less demand as clients fear they will get COVID-19 or Coronavirus by touching the packaging or the hair.

Please read the latest information available about the spreading of the Coronavirus and what you can do to protect yourself and your clients. Use this information to take well informed business decisions to protect your business too.

Now (February 25th, 2020) no vaccine is available according to the American Health Organizations, like CDC, thus the best way to protect yourself is to avoid you will get COVID-19.
The outbreak or spreading of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus, or official named COVID-19, is now not active in China but has now been detected in 37 locations internationally, including cases in the United States.

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- blog --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><ins class="adsbygoogle"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> style="display:block"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> data-ad-client="ca-pub-3387013842134385"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> data-ad-slot="3070188262"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> data-ad-format="auto"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --></script>

Where does the Coronavirus comes from and how does it spread?

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and now with this new virus (named SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19).

The COVID-19 virus is a betacoronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. All three of these viruses have their origins in bats. The sequences from U.S. patients are like the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.

Early on, many of the patients in the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China had some link to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread. Later, a growing number of patients reportedly did not have exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread. Person-to-person spread has been reported outside China, including in the United States and other locations. Chinese officials report that sustained person-to-person spread in the community is occurring in China. In addition, other destinations have apparent community spread, meaning some people have been infected who are not sure how or where they became infected.

Illness Severity, including illness resulting in death

Both MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV have been known to cause severe illness in people. The complete clinical picture regarding COVID-19 is not fully understood. Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe, including illness resulting in death. There are ongoing investigations to learn more.

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- blog --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><ins class="adsbygoogle"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> style="display:block"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> data-ad-client="ca-pub-3387013842134385"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> data-ad-slot="3070188262"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> data-ad-format="auto"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --></script>

Risk Assessment to avoid you get COVID-19

Outbreaks of novel virus infections among people are always of public health concern. The risk from these outbreaks depends on characteristics of the virus, including how well it spreads between people, the severity of resulting illness, and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccine or treatment medications). The fact that this disease has caused illness, including illness resulting in death, and sustained person-to-person spread is concerning. These factors meet two of the criteria of a pandemic. As community spread is detected in more and more countries, the world moves closer toward meeting the third criteria, worldwide spread of the new virus.

The potential public health threat posed by COVID-19 is high, both globally and to the United States. But individual risk is dependent on exposure.

It’s important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. In that case, the risk assessment would be different.

What May Happen

More cases are likely to be identified in the days after February 25th, 2020, including more cases in the United States. It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States. Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time. Schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism. Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths. Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and transportation industry may also be affected. Health care providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed.

No vaccine to protect against Coronavirus

At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it. Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy.

CDC Recommends

While the immediate risk of this new virus to the American public is believed to be low at this time, everyone can do their part to help us respond to this emerging public health threat:

  • It’s currently flu and respiratory disease season and CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine, taking everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs, and taking flu antivirals if prescribed.
  • If you are a healthcare provider, be on the look-out for people who recently traveled from China and have fever and respiratory symptoms.
  • If you are a healthcare provider caring for a COVID-19 patient or a public health responder, please take care of yourself and follow recommended infection control procedures.
  • If you have been in China or have been exposed to someone sick with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, you will face some limitations on your movement and activity. Please follow instructions during this time. Your cooperation is integral to the ongoing public health response to try to slow spread of this virus. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, contact your healthcare provider, and tell them about your symptoms and your travel or exposure to a COVID-19 patient.

For people who are ill with COVID-19, please follow CDC guidance on how to reduce the risk of spreading your illness to others.

How COVID-19 Spreads

Current understanding about how the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses.

Person-to-person spread

The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet)
Via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Spread from contact with infected surfaces or objects

It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

When does spread happen?

People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

How efficiently does the virus spread?

How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (like measles), while other viruses are less so. Another factor is whether the spread continues over multiple generations of people (if spread is sustained). The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in Hubei province and other parts of China. In the United States, spread from person-to-person has occurred only among a few close contacts and has not spread any further to date.

There is still more to be learned

COVID-19 is an emerging disease and there is more to learn about its transmissibility, severity, and other features

What are you doing to avoid to get COVID-19?

Let me hear in the comments below how you deal with this kind of crisis, or with the Wuhan Coronavirus crisis specifically.

Traveling through bathroom pipes

Still there are many questions about how the coronavirus or COVID-19 is spreading. The virus seems to use bathroom pipes in Hong Kong to spread through a building and to infect the neighbors. This condition is different from spreading through a dry surface, like the packaging of hair. Or the hair itself.

The safe way to open a new order of hair.

Based upon the intelligence of the WHO, it is safe to order hair and to touch the packaging without the risk to get sick. But to play safe one can decide to, cleanse the surface of the packaging with a disinfectant and to wait a day before you open the package. In this time the virus will not be active anymore and you can enjoy your new arrival. Consider the hair has been shipped and thus the virus has been on a dry surface for some time already. An extra day plus the cleansing (of the packaging) should give extra comfort. This information you can pass through to your clients.

How to protect yourself and your clients for COVID-19?

The WHO has made a list of suggestions to protect yourself against the coronavirus.

Wash your hands frequently

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand rub if your hands are not visibly dirty.

Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub eliminates the virus if it is on your hands.

Practice respiratory hygiene

When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.

Why? Covering your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing prevent the spread of germs and viruses. If you sneeze or cough into your hands, you may contaminate objects or people that you touch.

Maintain social distancing

Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever.

Why? When someone who is infected with a respiratory disease, like 2019-nCoV, coughs or sneezes they project small droplets containing the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the virus.

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth

Why? Hands touch many surfaces which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself.

If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early

Tell your health care provider if you have traveled in an area in China where 2019-nCoV has been reported, or if you have been in close contact with someone with who has traveled from China and has respiratory symptoms.

Why? Whenever you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing it’s important to seek medical attention promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition. Respiratory symptoms with fever can have a range of causes, and depending on your personal travel history and circumstances, COVID-19 could be one of them.

Practice general hygiene measures

As a general precaution, practice general hygiene measures when visiting live animal markets, wet markets or animal product markets.

Ensure regular hand washing with soap and potable water after touching animals and animal products; avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with hands; and avoid contact with sick animals or spoiled animal products. Strictly avoid any contact with other animals in the market (e.g., stray cats and dogs, rodents, birds, bats). Avoid contact with potentially contaminated animal waste or fluids on the soil or structures of shops and market facilities.

Avoid consumption of raw or undercooked animal products

Handle raw meat, milk or animal organs with care, to avoid cross-contamination with uncooked foods, as per good food safety practices.

The availability of the hair is still limited

Factories in China are still slowly returning to their normal levels of production and distribution. Because of supply chains that are mostly designed for just in time delivery, that saves expenses because less resources for warehousing are needed. However, in times like this, the low levels of stock hurt many companies at the same time, or shortly after each other.

Former Hairstylist Jon Peters paid Pamela Andersons debts

Former Hairstylist Jon Peters paid Pamela Andersons debts

Feb 11, 2020 | Make Your Dream Happen

To start a career as hair stylist can make you rich. Hair Stylist Jon Peters paid the debt of his wife and dumped her within 12 days of marriage. The debt was USD 200,000.

Online there is a broad discussion on who dumped who, Jon Peters or his wife Pamela Anderson. But more interesting is to see how Jon made the money, to allow him to pay off these debts.

Jon Peters started doing hair back in the 70’s when he met Barbara Streisand. He was her hair stylist for the comedy For Pete’s Sake, a movie she was working on. He created her wig for that movie. Jon’s family business was hairdressing. After dropping out of school in seventh grade, he moved to New York.

Jon Peters was a self-made hair stylist; some sources refer he had learned the occupation while grooming hair of the women in the New York red light district

He was a lady’s man, and some say that made him the inspiration for Warren Beatty’s movie “Shampoo” about a womanizing hairstylist.

It is true the movies produced and other business activities in the movie industry after he met Barbara Streisand made his real fortune. But it is without any doubt, he only has gotten that far thanks to his career and skills as a hair stylist. The story of Jon Peters shows you can make a good living thanks to the hair business.

In Nigeria You Need a Husband to get Capital to Start Selling Hair

In Nigeria You Need a Husband to get Capital to Start Selling Hair

How to Start Selling Hair in Nigeria without a husband?

It started with an app, on a Monday morning. Blessingfearless told me she was ready to start selling hair in Nigeria. She found a great business opportunity that will change the hair market in Nigeria for ever. But she needed a husband to get the capital!

Because that is the way it goes in Nigeria. Men get loans and women must beg. You can have a splendid idea, but if your gender is not male, too bad girl!

But Blessingfearless, as you can see on her Instagram account is full of passion. She really made me fall for the idea too. I wanted to help her, with or without a husband!

The fact is if you want to start selling hair in Nigeria, women are second in line compared to men. The World Bank is fully aware of this. They started to develop programs to support women because Africa will only see major improvement if African women are empowered.

So, I started my quest for capital to help Blessingfearless finding a husband. Sorry, I mean finding a loan.

Why would someone need a husband to start selling hair?

“There is growing global evidence that shows that ensuring economic opportunities for women is an important entry point for addressing gender inequality and ensuring better education, health, and nutrition outcomes for families”. This sentence, in a report of the World Bank, tells the male part of the world that by empowering women the only way up for many areas in the World.

Imagine, the growth of the total economy in Nigeria, that is now around 2.1 percent for, could have been 3.3 percent if gender equality would have been reached. This means the Nigerian economy would grow faster than the US economy under Trump or Obama!

To reach this equality between the sexes quite some regulation has or had to change. Some examples are the law on prohibition of inhumane treatment of widows (2001) in Edo state and the Child Rights Act 2003 in Ogun. Nigeria is in the top ten of countries with the highest levels of gender discrimination!

As small producers and asset holders, Nigerian women have greater difficulty reaching economies of scale, which affects their competitiveness. In other words, Nigerian female entrepreneurs face a lot of difficulties to grow their business. As a result, they have limited bargaining power with suppliers and buyers, restricting their ability to earn profits.

Yes

Time to Change, Empower women

The Nigeria for Women Project

Through the Nigeria for Women Project, a project initiated by the World Bank, 324,000 women will benefit through investments in comprehensive skills training, the leverage of financial and technical resources, and support to policy dialogue on women’s economic empowerment.

This first World Bank-assisted standalone gender operation in Nigeria was approved in June 2018. This also created and strengthen Women Affinity Groups to facilitate social networks and increase women’s voice and participation in the economy.

How to get access to female friendly financing?

Thanks to the above-mentioned movement, there are several initiatives and organisations active to support women empowerment. This helped to change the mindset and inspired several organisations to develop women friendly loan facilities.

FEMFUNDS for women selling hair in Nigeria

Femfunds is a social enterprise that provides interest free and collateral free loans to women-led micro, small and medium enterprises (also called MSMEs) in Nigeria.

They give women with small businesses everything they need to build profitable businesses which in turn creates a cycle of empowered women who go on to empower other women.

The vision of FEMFUNDS is to create sustainable female-led businesses that can contribute in a positive way to the economic development of Nigeria. Thanks to the important role of women in society.
They provide funds, or capital, to enable business to grow, to replicate a business in another location and to provide capital a business needs to survive.

There are various lines to support women, like interest free loans, with no collateral and advisory to female run small businesses, like mentoring, coaching and workshops on branding, marketing and other intellectual resource to help the businesses.

FemFunds promises hassle free financing.

Evaluation criteria

FemFunds follows the next evaluation criteria when evaluating a business in need of capital:

  • Stage of Business, they look for businesses that are already operational
  • Sector, FemFunds invests in businesses across sectors
  • Revenue, FemFunds is interested in businesses that are post-revenue, have a clear pathway to profitability and possess strong growth trajectory
  • Product Market Fit, FemFunds looks for businesses that will work well in the Nigerian context
  • Structure, properly structured and where this is not the case, if a business is selected, FemFunds will help the business become better structured
  • Competitive Advantage, the business should have a clear competitive advantage and a unique value proposition

It is clear, FemFunds offers great financing possibilities, but only if you have the capital to start a business. Blessingfearless has the idea to start selling hair in Nigeria and will not qualify for this program. Let’s continue our search for capital for women with plans to start selling hair in their State.

W Power loan Access Bank if you want to start selling hair in Nigeria

This offer seems to be much more what Blessingfearless needs. Access Bank understands the position women come from. They have set up a financing that answers all their needs if they want to step into business. Within 30 days after opening a corporate bank account, Blessingfearless can apply for the W Power Loan.

The W Power Loan package comes with benefits such as:

  • business advisory services,
  • a flexible repayment period
  • a low interest rate as well as
  • flexible security options, to ease the minds of the passionate business owners in their own words.

Access bank has taken measures to accommodate women in need of capital to fund their business. On top of this they share some advice, that will be helping you finding a loan from any other bank or organisation.

Understand your business and convince others

Woman are great in organizing, that makes them great entrepreneurs because doing business is all about connections. But sometimes this stand in the way to document the business processes. To get a profitable business you need to be able to understand the environment, the market and the processes. Before you make any appointment with anyone who can give you access to a loan or capital, come up with a business plan.

Your hair business deserves more attention than a side hustle

Microsoft started their business in a garage, and many successful hair businesses started in the living room. If you want to make serious money, you need to take the business serious. Register your business before you apply for a loan. If you do not take your business serious, why would the bank officer do? Some banks can help you with the registration.

Be real, have open a corporate account

Keep your personal financial means separate from your business, do not mix private and business on your bank account. This will also reduce the expenses for the bookkeeping and tax calculations.

Do not ask your husband to do the bookkeeping

Bookkeepers and accountants are not known for their sex appeal, but you need them anyhow. Monitor your business is only possible with a reliable bookkeeping system in place. You can outsource the hard work, but make sure you understand better than your bookkeeper where you make your money and how much! Find a good bookkeeper before you start selling hair in Nigeria.

Join a business community and build your network

It is always good to share your experience with others, join a business community and learn from others. This network can also be of great benefit in times of crisis.

Only borrow what you need

The business plan is the base for the loan or capital request, only borrow the money you need for the business activities. Protect yourself against excess cash, that you must repay later. Use the cash flow forecast in our all-in-one hair business package.

I hope this post will help Blessingfearless, but I will keep my eyes open for more financing possibilities. If you need money for your business or you want a low priced website, leave a comment below so I can help you to find the money,

Start Selling Hair on Shopify with a plan

Start selling hair on Shopify is one of the best approaches for you to focus on the fun part, and that is selling hair. Shopify grants you to improve your income by selling hair. With this post I will also answer the question, can you sell hair on Shopify ?

How to start an online beauty supply store

This week I launched the first HowToSellHairExtensions Shopify Webstore, On my portfolio page you can see more web stores I designed. The idea was to design for you an easy to use, low cost, professional hair webstore. Dream of Extensions has all you need to start selling hair in Shopify, and to make money the day of the launch.

Theme – the decoration

I started with the Mission Statement of Dream of Extensions. This helps to get a clear picture of the kind of clients we want to sell hair to.

  • what are their needs?
  • what do they like and not like?
  • where do they shop?
  • how much they want to pay?

For this I used The Ideal Client template this assisted me to focus on the people in need of my hair and how to find them. These ideas helped us also to create the name and logo for our webstore. The logo of Dream of Extensions was created using to Hatchful. I selected the kind of business and the type of logo we wanted.

You like the logo? Next to the diamond it was the pink color that made me decide to go for it. Later you will read how amazing it was I selected this color. I used the colors for the background of the webstore. In a way it was the wallpaper of the webstore. For the expressions, I copied the same color of the text of the logo. Did you know, if you want to know the color of any object on an image, you can use a free app like paint. This program has a color picker, that translates any color into the RGB code (255, 255, 255). This is a color code you can use to find the same color in Power Point or any website design program, Like Shopify for example. RGB stands for the basic colors Red, Green and Blue.

Sept 16, 2020 Nelly from Kenya asked “I would like to start selling hair in my own website”.

I recommended her to check Shopify. this is a stable and simple platform that enables you to start selling to all over the World from all over the World.

Would You Like to Make $ 30.000/month for Only $ 29/month?

Yes
More about colors in the post:

How to Design a Successful Hair Extensions Blog

In this post you can also read how to use colors in your design. I used it to find a contrasting color for my pink. That contrasting color was blue as you can imagine. This color I used to bring specific sections of the webstore under the attention of the viewer, like free shipping all over the world!

Preparation before selling hair on Shopify

Before I started to design the webstore, I prepared the images and the text. Selling hair on Shopify is only possible with great and copyright free images. The images of the products of course, but also illustrations that tell the story behind the journey of the founder to start selling hair. I created a map on my workstation to store the product images, one for the other images and a map for the text. The latter would contain the text of the legal stuff, like:

  • terms and conditions,
  • refund and
  • privacy policy.

All in Word, so I can copy paste the text later without any interruption in the Shopify hair store.

Save time uploading the description of your hair and wigs

It is great if you have a lot of hair to sell, especially with a lot of varieties. The only problem is to record all this in your Shopify hair store. I can tell that is one of the most boring and energy consuming tasks to perform being a store owner. To manually upload your products in your Shopify dream store!

My goals are to make sure you keep on having fun selling hair, so I prepared an easy solution to upload many hair extensions, wigs and braids. I created a template in Excel where you can easily enter all the data about your products. You only must type any items once, and if needed you can copy paste the text or even skip. Please take a note so you do not forget to ask me for the template at the end of this post.

The upload of the hair of Dream of Extensions was done very fast, so thanks to the template the boring stuff did not bother me that much. It was no problem to have many variations in color, length or texture. The great thing is your clients will have so many options, hard to believe their choice will not be in your store!

Terms and conditions and other dull stuff

Some time ago, I did some research. I have some good terms and conditions, a privacy policy and refund policy. These documents I can use and that will help my clients to understand what is and what is not possible with my hair. This is so much better for the relationship with your client. You do not want to explain to a disappointed and emotional client you do not accept the return of hair that has been dyed. For example.

I have the Word documents with the terms and policies available for you, so again please do not forget to ask once you finished this post.

Your product Images

Collect the images of your products. You can ask the wholesaler if you can use their pictures if needed. Make sure to rename the images with the name of your business and the type of hair. That will help you if people search on the internet for images. They will see your store’s name. By the way, it feels so good to upload the hair you are going to sell in the website. Almost the same as putting the hair on the shelves in your in store or salon. Because of this positive vibe I prefer not to include the images in the upload file. But it is possible if you like.

Selling hair on Shopify in a creative way

Do you know, thanks to all preparation already done, to create a webstore is not that much work anymore. You can soon start selling hair on Shopify.
The products are already in the webstore, so all I had to do is to give the store the colors of my logo. I added some nice images that tell the story about my store, but even more important about the people I want to help finding the best hair. Now I noticed one of the happy clients had the same love for pink as I did. She had pink earrings, was wearing a pink shirt and had pink lipstick. How amazing that was. The ideal client template worked! As it always does.

One of the last steps was to add the pages with the legal stuff, the hair care, FAQ and about us page. I only had to do a copy paste. The text was already prepared, so I did not have to type anything. But to pimp up these boring pages, I added an image. This shows the visitor in one second where the page is about. By the way, I managed to create an accordion layout for my FAQ. The one where you only see the header first, and when you click the explanation will show. That really made the Shopify hair webstore look professional!

Check the Shopify web store of Dream on Extensions

Well, the proof is in the pudding, so I invite you to prove the webstore of Dream on Extensions. Please leave any suggestion, idea, joke in the comments below this post. In return I will mail you the promised templates with all the legal stuff for your website and the upload sheet for hair stores.
Oaky, I hope you will soon start selling hair on Shopify, try at least the free trial and do not hesitate to ask me to help you with the Shopify hair store if you want. You are your own boss, but you are never alone!
