Yantew,

Temelkach, email meron, info@bernos.org… we can work out a different type of payment system!

This is just a business idea, it may or might not work but why don’t you give it a try.
Why don’t you distribute your T-shirts in a habesha stores in DC? If you are ok with dealing/working with habesha people I think you can make a good sale that way. What do you think?

I am very impressed by bernos. you’re doing a great job. And if I was to give some feedback – perhaps adding other smaller items to your product line would be cool. Like bumper stickers, key chains, shot glasses, magnetic sticks, etc…

Good luck

Yes there are those we feel are not open-minded enough to make the buy but that comes with territory in any market!

You do make a legitimate point though! The amount of time we spend on the business might not make sense if we only look at the monetary compensation! that is generally true for most web business Ethiopian or not!

The fact is the number of abesha’s online is very small and from those most are not easily reachable since most do not come to Ethiopian owned sites!

The failure of gathering the public is not bernos’s fault but the Ethiopian Media in general! Ethiopians haven’t been able to work with eachother in order to gather the people to have a bigger online media platforms. Ill write about what happened with the whole geez Unicode issue in the future

Regardless of the obstacles I think Bernos has been able to sustain the business without reinvesting more money! Sure we don’t make money but we have sold many many shirts and we will continue… if things don’t work out we will rethink our strategy… once we get real market penetration… we can grow the target pool to be rasta centric, or afro centric… the options are endless…

Bernos also gives me a creative outlet and fulfills the need to connect with my people! Platform can support other ventures as it has already! Contributors and I have speaking platform; god knows we need to speak about other aspects of our lifes excluding politka!
That is more than enough for now…

You know what I’ve noticed is that most Abeshoch don’t like to do something unless it’s a group event. Edumacation is right on, love that word!

Abeeet abet, I don’t know if the cousin’s issue was a matter of trust, I have a hard time swallowing that one. Ex-girlfriend yes, that’s why she’s an ex ha/ha.

Close the business! Wooow Bonanza what about those of us who want to support? Then the cousin wins! Yes, I agree they are all very talented but talented people don’t give up on their dreams they overcome obstacles instead. How else will they get to their final destination and say ahhhh what a journey! Isn’t that what life is about? I’m buying some t-shirts for x-mas gifts, why don’t you do the same? It’s easier then going to a store and buying from someone you don’t know. Support your own people. I even have an idea to wrap it, in different color cellophane, like a big candy. I’m like a giggly little kid around the holidays!

if your cousin doesn’t trust you what hope do you have?
I say close this business and try marketing to non-habesha! man you are talented I’m sure it would be better to forget working with habesha people and concentrate on making mula elsewhere!
