When I was first introduced to google search when I was in my high school sophomore, it was like I am lost in an island- no idea what exactly what I am going to do in order to survive. I was never taught how to properly navigate Google. I learned how to play with the search engine all by myself. Back then, I really admit that I am indeed a computer-challenged. Though I really struggled, I found search engines really helpful especially when I did my marketing plan (thesis) and when I was trying to find a job. Now that I am about to get married in less than a year, my fiancé and I are thinking of putting up a business as we do not want to be forever "employees". We want to the "boss". We want to get a hold of our own time. With our savings and a little help from our parents and other financial institutions, capital is really not a problem. The more difficult problem is on Planning: "What kind business will click to our target market? How are we gonna market the business that we are going to put to ensure that the business will be stable in the next ten years? From where are we going to get our products? Can we do import/export?" Ahhhh- finding the answers to these questions is quite hard.
Now that both husband and I are computer literate enough to know the trick of the Internet Trade, we know that apart from the traditional advertising strategy, search engines nowadays has been really powerful for businessmen as they try to market their company/products/services. With the innovation of technology, any information now really comes in a very quick manner. Thus, a business really needs to be competitive and is very accessible to reach. It also needs to find a dependable and reliable suppliers/affiliates that will ensure that business will always stay in shape.
When Paul, one of our expatriate trainers, was here in Manila, I once caught him browsing Masterseek. Apparently, though he is enjoying his stay in our company (a major telecommunications company in MidWest US), he still wants to put up his own business. What kind of business? He is not yet sure. But one thing he is certain off, he must find business partners that is willing to invest on the kind of business that he is eying.
Out of curiosity, I googled Masterseek. As it turned out, Masterseek itself is another search engine, the only difference is that it specializes on business. Currently, Masterseek has more than 46 million companies listed across 75 countries. In addition to that, unlike google or yahoo where a lot of unrelated information pops out in your screen once you key in a keyword, Masterseek has already categorized the nature of companies they have in their database. For example, if I need to know where I could find suppliers for imported goods regardless of it's nature, there is already a category for Importer. It is also helpful for those individual who are seeking greener pasture; be it career growth or they just want to work overseas- there is a category for Jobs and Career. It's also quite helpful for those who are not that proficient in English as Masterseek also has its own version in different language: Chinese, Spanish, French and German to name a few. They also have the technology that will certainly boost your company's visibility in the webosphere. If you are going to sign up on Masterseek, it will not only allow your potential customers to contact you but it will also allow you to look for potential investors. As Russell and I are thinking of a business that will cater both local and Filipinos working abroad, we will definitely sign up to Masterseek as soon as we put up our pet project.
Masterseek is just like Google and Yahoo- only the BETTER. (,")
