First Internet Cafe Workshop Johannesburg 2007After many, many requests the next date for the 2008 Internet Cafe workshop has been set. Please note I only do ONE workshop every 6 months like this. The next one will be in Cape Town in November.

** All workshops have been postponed till 2009 **

Now I am proud to announce I have an excellent business trainer with me, Yusuf Mahomedy, who regularly writes for The Star Workplace and HR Future on employment and jobs. He will teach all the basics of moving from employment to self-employed and running a business that employs people. While I will focus on the Internet business strategies, computer hardware and networking equipment and software for time management and billing your Internet time. There is going to be an interactive Q&A section so write out all your questions before hand and we will answer them in detail. Also bring along any documentation like business plans or application forms for government funding.

What is this training worth to you? A 4-hour half-day workshops covering:

  • Small business basics
  • Bookkeeping, Tax, UIF, hiring employees
  • Government funding vs loans
  • Internet Cafe set-up (hardware/software)
  • Direct marketing strategies with flyer’s, SMS, etc
  • Ongoing training for you and your staff
  • Billing & Time management system to sell airtime
  • VOIP set-up and packages
  • Additional revenue streams
  • Business plan basics
  • Q&A about your situation, your location

You can save hundreds of hours of research because I have done that already for you. You will receive my recommendations on all equipment and what Internet connections to use because I have evaluated most of the options for the best price/performance ratios. Translated this could save you thousands of Rands, which can be better spent on your own training and marketing. You can get going quicker, and have more confidence of the success of your new small business venture: An Internet Cafe or to help you have more freedom, more cash flow and create jobs while uplifting your communities computer literacy and giving them access the world through email, VOIP and the Web. Consider das maintenance, as it will save you time and money.

Venue: Sandton Library (on Nelson Mandela Square)
Time: 8am-12h30pm (4 hours)

And 1-hour consultation (value R750) with me to discuss your needs in private. This may have to be done telephonically (at your cost) as I travel frequently across South Africa on lectures and talks.

  1. Could you please give details of the workshop to be held in Cape Town in November.

    Thank you!

     

  4. This seems like an excellent initiative to get people on their way in a new business – particularly one that is so needed in SA.

     

  5. Thanks for the feedback Dave. You support or endorsement is appreciated.

    As soon as Yusuf Mahomedy and myself can get our schedules coordinated for Cape Town workshop we will post that on our respective blogs. There is some demand from Cape Town and I reckon with some advertising in the broader Cape Town community we can attract people who have thought about it but just do not know where to start.

     

  6. This workshop was really well worth attending, I learned quite a lot. It was interactive, something I really appreciated because I got to express my views and ideas, and the presentations were top class. Highly recommended.
    Well done guys!

     

  8. Can somebody tell me if there is a company in cape town that give training or information sessions on starting a internet cafe?
    please advise
    Thank you

     

  9. Ekeraam there is no company that does this training besides my own company. I am review my calendar for the rest of the year and we will set a date shortly for a workshop in Cape Town. It’s very likely to be in October. And I will notify everyone who has posted comments here about event once it’s confirmed.

  15. Hi, I would like to know when is the next date for a workshop in Johannesburg. I am really interested.

     

  16. All workshops have been cancelled. There will no more training because I have changed the direction of my career and my business. My apologies for the inconvenience. The best advice I can offer you now is to go and do your own research by spending time in other Internet Cafe’s and looking at how they do what they do. Also contact your Internet provider for some technical advice. I recommend Matrix Warehouse for all computer hardware.

     

  17. I would like to start an internet cafe and would like to focus on learners, being an educator at present, to offer assistance with regard to their assignments in a controlled environment and also offer printing facilities.

  91. Hi

    How often have you received an sms or email that has abbreviations in it and you just don’t know what it means???
    Well, we have compiled a texting dictionary called “TXT Dictionary” wherein there are more than 1800 of the most common abbreviations and their translations.
    A first in SA which will sell like hotcakes as everybody is becoming increasingly textually active.

    We look at your business as one that targets the right age group for the txt dictionary and also would like to propose having your store/s as one of our outlets. The txt dictionaries retail for an affordable R20 where you can make a profit of up to R10. You can start at purchasing 100 or 1000 or even 10000 booklets. It would be so grand if you gave each of your attendees a book like this to further encourage their involvement in social media

    The Dictionary is launching on the 1st of December 2010 and wouldn’t you just love to have your ad in the book. It is in great demand and every youngster is going to have one. Every time they open their book to find a translation your ad will be glaring at them!!! They will also keep this dictionary very close as it will become their “texting bible”. This is the first edition and other editions will follow as the lingo grows.

    We are targeting December going into January as this is the time when schools and tertiarys are closed and students are roaming the malls and internet cafes and are at their textually active peak.

    Thank you
