Building ASSETS overseas for young people is a must. Many people I went to school with came from other countries like Turkey, Albania, Yemen, Libya, Pakistan, Kazakstan, ect. Many of these people were young and would travel back and forth during the off months of school. A few would come back and brag about starting a business in their home country using money made here in America. This peaked my interest.
Many young people are sick of the bullshit they are sold in high school while being told to go on to college and acquire more stress. They have teachers we have lost their touch on reality advising them to go to college for their own good knowing good and well that the debt they phase will hinder them for life. Honestly, $30,000 in debt isn't a lot of money if you apply these strategies below:
Building Overseas Assets
Why overseas?
Despite what the American media has told you. Overseas has more freedom then you do in America. Overseas you can't just say "That person downloaded my music catalog. I am a rich man. Arrest him!" and have your door kicked down without any evidence. It happens all the time in America which is why many music websites and independent business that are competition to major media companies have moved to Sweden and other friendly countries. A great thing is to many American people buy from companies overseas - remember I discussed outsourcing before.
Assets in this case are things you build that generate a constant flow of income. This could also lead to other opportunities for you to make more money. It surely makes acquiring citizenship elsewhere easier if shit hits the fan in America. Dubai is an awesome place to started. They have jobs, citizenship for foreigners, high number of English speaking people and are constantly growing.
This is geared toward young men. You don't have the money? Pool your resources together. Someone has money, another may have time and another may speak the language of the particular country. How do you think Facebook® got big? Someone had the knowledge, two other people had the money. No egos involved.

Applying Your Brand to Unbranded Products
You have phone cases, mobile operating systems, boxing gloves, ect. These are all products that can be produced inexpensively. As a company you can buy these products wholesale and sell them for cheap. Great profit for you and your fellow business partners. Truly, all you would need is a logo and a product -- add your logo. Use the popularity, uniqueness and credibility of your brand to be the leverage that pushes the product to your audience.
Sell the culture that your brand brings to that particular audience or target demographic.
• Phone Cases - I remember someone telling me about phone cases that people were interested in buying and that if you set up a website you would be able to clock about $40,000 a month in sales -- that's a year's worth of pay. These days it's easy to set up a website with platforms out there on the internet. Just remember -- slap your brand on it. It customized for the particular product if you can.
• Struggling businesses - These are the best to contact about licensing their product because it's cheap and they really want to start doing business with someone fast. They will already have the products ready made for sale and all you will need to do is work out a deal to have your logo added to their products -- remember to tailor it for the particular product.
• Headphones - Not all products made in China are cheap. If they were the rest of the world wouldn't have "Made In China" plastered all over their products. Remember, how in my past articles I've been telling rappers how to market themselves through various mediums. This right here is market and profit. You don't have ot be famous to do it either. Just create a set of headphones, brand them, test them and market them. Sell them anywhere you can. Create a small commercial for them using a DSRL and Youtube®. We are talking high quality videos, high-quality branding and high quality headphones -- not just something that hangs in your ear drums.
• Mugs - People need too look important while doing there work on their nich website or blog. A mug is a sure way to look like an independent business owner without actually having to be one. Mugs can in various varieties and are super cheap to acquire without even contacting a manufacturing company. Everyone usually has a branded Mug line at some point in their business development -- an ever evolving journey.

Dat Wholesale T-Shirt Company
Wholesale is big business. Over $1 billion dollars a year is made off of wholesale. Today, we will discuss wholesale T-Shirt businesses you can manage online with the right resources. T-Shirts are a fun, creativity and easy way to make money. Many people work in a retail store watching T-Shirts be sold and some even know how they arrive on shelves - wholesale. However, many don't know how they are created and that they can start their own wholesale business with the right network directly from their own laptop.
These days they have HUB management websites were you can manage whole business directly from your own home. Wholesale businesses are no exception. Just imagine creating a hot T-Shirt design once, submitting it to a manufacturing company -- this company could be new. It doesn't even have to be the best manufacturing company since they will be more open to any contract even for the lowest out of money -- also known as outsourcing. Remember, with money anything is possible. Can't find the money? Check who your friends are, check who your family is and perform some adjustments RIGHT NOW!
Networking is very important is establishing Dat WholeSale T-Shirt Company. You'll need connections into B2B(Business 2 Business) niches in order to make this happen. It should only take a few weeks or a month. All it takes is a few minutes of planning and a few steps. The only thing stopping people is laziness and the need to complain. I personally don't time for that and from my experience would suggest you remove any and all dissents out of your life in order to make this business happen. Remember, NETWORK!
It only takes a few T-Shirt designs and a little bit of marketing. In the Urban community people are looking for high quality, low-priced T-shirts to sport without the expense. Don't worry about the competition. This is what Youtube® is for. Promote your T-Shirts. Have local rappers wearing it. Promote it using the grassroots and the underground. Send it to local rock musicians if you can. It would work best to do this while your waiting on establishing B2B connects with your manufacturing company.

Build Your Rap Career Online
Don't let these fake A&Rs at these shady record labels say "the world is bigger than the Internet". Nigga, please! The internet is the new empire. It's the place where dreams are born. Anyone can make it off the internet. The only thing stopping folks is the government and government contract Paypal® with their freezing of business accounts for 6 months or more. It is very possible to build your rap career online and I will show you how:
1.Youtube® - the mecca for multimedia at present day. Every rapper should have a Youtube® account. If you don't have one you are slippin'. Get one right away by paying someone with knowledge of social media. Also, make sure to pay someone to add a channel cover, great video production and vlogs to your Youtube®. Make sure it's easy to find too. No numbers after your screen name -- looks funky and tacky.
2. Twitter® - by using hashtags, retweets, and other promotional micro-blogs a rapper should be able to share music taking into account that rapping is more than just a lazy hustle for you. Remember, YOU ARE A BRAND! There various websites you can share your Twitter account on. I don't want to hear you don't have time. It's time to become a geek and start using the internet.
3. International Blogs - I must tell you from my experience of dealing with people from Europe, Japan and other nations who cover Rap music I haven't run into one stuck up Americanized personality type yet. They are very kind, down-to-earth and want nothing, but to collect and promote underground independent music that is sure to spread like wildfire.
4. Collaborations Across Genres - a term I've coined called CAG, Collaborations Across Genres. No, this isn't gimmick. It's called creativity and thinking outside the box. Remember when Rapper Snoop Dogg did a collaboration with a country singer? The song was very well received because of the unique sound, being a purist will only lock you down.
• Clothing lines, personal brands, mobile phone productions... remember you are more than a rapper you are a BRAND! It's time to EMPOWER yourself and stay independent. Don't have enough money? Find out way. If you don't have enough money to resourcefully bring about your career find out who your friends and family are and remove them. No reason why you can't find funding.
• Build an audience around your Youtube® channel and recognize yourself as a business. You don't owe anything to the record labels and they can't blackball an independent artist who has a direct connection to his/her audience. Do you know many French rappers get blackballed? None! Why? Because they have a different connection to their audience -- a DIRECT CONNECTION!
• Stop waiting on your local homies to give you praise. Reality is bigger than the 10-block radius of where you live. Pick up a different language - Italian, French, Russian, whatever. Time to expand. This country is going down the whole quick. Kind of explains why rap battle league King of the Dot is making bigger than their American opposition.
• To all you rap battling peps out there. Focus on your fan base, fuck the victories. The victories in your rap career mean nothing. Just look at Murda Mook. He is a rap battle legend with nothing to show for it. He makes hot tracks, but no one will touch his music or his shows -- sad. If he would have had a solid solo Youtube® presence like Goodz and Charlie Clips he would be bigger than big right now - internationally. I swear there are people in Japan crying, "Why isn't he readily available on Youtube®?

Mobile App Development for Rappers
There are more rappers in the world then Youtube® videos. There are more rapper in the world the weed smokers. There are more rappers in the world in-house studios. With all of these rappers it leaves the game overcrowded and makes it hard for a particular rapper to find their unique niche. It doesn't have to take time to build your audience. All you require is very simple marketing tips.
Android® applications can be developed on the cheap by developers who have know how to use easy-to-use programming languages to create games, mobile comics, in-app billing and other ways to connect with your fans. Android applications are the easiest to create for a developer. It doesn't take a locked down platform like iOS or do you need outstanding licenses to do so. Best of all Android® mobile phones are so inexpensive people from all around the world can own one.
Easily acquire personalized application for your music by hiring a developer for about $1,000 a month at most, $500 an app at least. It's not that expensive. In this new world unless you plan to "Grind" all day and hustle while depending on luck -- you will fail.
First thing you'd want to do is find some experienced in Java, HTML, Javascript, or Monkey programming. Monkey is a new next-generation language which allows someone to create creative high powered applications with full features for your marketing purposes. With a simple line of command code that can have your application selling your music directly from the app.
After that, you would want to create a QR code for easy scanning on your posters that will link your fans right to your app. I always discuss AUTOMATION. The download after scanning of the QR will be practically automated and it cost only a few dollars to get a QR code set up.
Finally, be sure to add links to your app under your Youtube® music video or vlog. This will give the perception that you are a Youtube® personality in the making and encourage people to become immersed in your lifestyle.

Into Game Development
While setting on the beach a while back doing somewhere here in Staten Island I started dreaming about adding a Do-It-Yourself game development division to Yababa World™. Being that it is a variety company it allows for ultimate flexibility I said, "why not"?
I've been considering creating a mobile fighting game with the highest quality of graphics adding to it a cartoon flair. Maybe adding someone of your favorite Youtube® personalities in it as well and selling it via Android® and iOS® with ability to fight online with people on both platforms and so on. Along with this I have a few first person shooter game ideas one of which is presently in development as we speak. It will include an interesting storyline and networking capabilities. Best of all it will be mobile, 3D also.
There are many game ideas I currently have in my head that I will implement in a very near future. This more than a plan. As Yababa World™ begins to grow with the help of the fans it would able to continue to evolve into the variety-brand that it's supposed to be. We have no investors, we are a purely Do-It-Yourself brand. In saying that, these games will feature creative, stylist and interesting effects in the form of prizes, giveways, and cash rewards directly to your bank account be online or offline.
Have any game ideas you would like to see me develop? Drop it in the comments!

Turn Your Phone Into A Business
Android® for the win! I've been telling people since Android® is an open-source operating system based off Linux that it would outshine iOS® and it has. Just take it from me, you can download a customized version of Android® just for your business needs. You can even have it work like a highly graphical Blackberry so you don't lose your familiarity.
I currently have the ability to customize my Android® phone into any way I want. You can even do this with your regular desktop computer screen, but who's on those anymore? Most people are on mobiles because they are leaving in the fast-lane. The marketing business could be the same way which is why you want all of your things intuitively placed like the people on Twitter®.
Many Chinese companies overseas are creating their very own phones with Android® installed. No, these aren't counterfeit, these are unique phones created by the Chinese and if anyone working for Apple® tells you different they are lying and just trying to sell you something. Remember these people aren't paying your bills.
Moving on. Android® is an operating system for your mobile tablet that will only keep on growing. I know you can learn about Android® just about anywhere, but many websites out there I have found have as slant because they are paid advertising by the same companies they review -- complex situation. At present, we don't have that here so you can trust my word when I say Android is the operating system you need to be getting into.
Many businesses allow VPN connections into their websites through applications written for the Android®. This allows employees to work from anywhere in the world with a solid internet connection through various cell phone towers across the global.
Android® is the way of the future. It has and will continue to change the way people live in this world. It's perfect for the traveling salesman that has a need for particular applications to suite his needs. You don't want to have to jailbreak your iPhone fore this will leave you open for all kinds of malware trojans.
