This post is destined for us...Latinos, Africans, Asians, and members of underdeveloped countries who are in BHW.
If you are here at BHW, you probably have above average knowledge of our countries, have notions of English, have read many methods and tutorials, and have often been frustrated that many doors are closed to us. Many services are not available, the delivery time for products is four times longer, we need proxies to reach Americans on TikTok, we need to buy documents to get PayPal accounts. It's not easy.
I would just like to remind you: don't forget the domestic industry, your own country. We are emerging here in this forum full of Americans and Europeans who develop methods that are beneficial for them. They have more resources, they can physically work and earn several dollars an hour to raise money and be able to invest. It's easier. The methods of the Americans/Europeans are created by them and for them. It is not exclusive and of course, you can succeed, BUT keep in mind: it is MUCH more competitive. It is MUCH more expensive to reach the audience in these countries. Your competitors have thousands of dollars to spend on ad testing. They don't need to buy proxies. The reward may be worth it, but sometimes it is worth investing in your own market.
We know another language... Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic. The market is much less competitive. People don't earn $80,000 a year like in Ireland, but they also have money and they also want products that go viral on social media. Create a website in your own language. If you are here in BHW, you probably have the capacity to create a better website than the average person in your country. Americans and Europeans don't like to sell to Morocco, India, Brazil, Mexico or South Africa, precisely because of the language barriers, the payment methods they don't know, the lack of expectations about investing money in those countries, the delivery times...but we who live in those places, know how things work, we should take advantage of that and not just be one more trying to sell products and services solely to the United States.
The idea is to make you think: don't forget your home market, it looks poor and unpromising, the people are less tech-educated, but the competition is much less. It is better to be one of the biggest brands in Algeria than to be one more store that failed advertising to the UK.
