Keep calm and learn something new through Yelko for FREE! (Part 1)
The world’s first website (http://info.cern.ch/) was published on August 6, 1991 by British physicist Tim Berners-Lee. In the span of 28 years, there are more than 1.74 billion websites on the internet. Websites made the world more transparent, more collaborative and more informative; showing the avenues of new business models in the world.
However, building a website has been really complicated process in Nepal. General users have great wiliness to build a website however due to various obligation with respect to cost, process, accessibility, knowledge; the wiliness to build your own website just get halted. Coming from very non-tech background and I have always been very fascinated towards the idea of website creation and overall technology advancement. And, building my own website always have been a some sort of curiosity for me.
With long term background work on technology, team development, tireless uncertainty of our time and efforts; of whether we could come up with RIGHT product with a vision to reduce the marketing cost of SME’s and Freelancers; we introduced Yelko as automation product to act as a local search engine for local businesses.
We also knew those business models weren’t sustainable in the long run. Because it will not make a good enough money in the run. Idea without money is also worthless for diverse group of entrepreneurs like us. We always wanted to separate the product on both long term and short term basis. We wanted to integrate other technologies within the automation platform we always envisioned for.
During our manual market research as a customer with more than 60+ IT companies of Nepal; we found websites cost is too high in the market. It was almost 1900% expensive then the current market price. We started to build a framework of website builder in Yelko platform. And, we launched standard packages of website starting from 3499.00 per year. Now, Yelko offers 3 website packages in the platform under 3 price ranges Rs. 3499.00 per year; Rs. 5499 .00 /year; and Rs. 8848.00 per year.

Who are we targeting as our customers?
In emerging countries, SMEs contribute around 40% of the total GDP and 60% of the total employment. Likewise, in Nepal, SMEs contribute around 22% the GDP and generate around 17 lakh employment. By the end of the fiscal year 2074/75, there were 275,433 SMEs registered in Nepal. We want to reach this segment of SME’s and many untraceable freelancers in Nepal by offering one simple solutions for now which can support marketing activities for them and ultimately they could boost their business with simple and affordable technology.
Our product just want to be focused on marketing activities because successful business need marketing! But, sadly, SME’s don’t have much budget for marketing cost. Their operational and survival cost is so high that, they couldn’t afford to have a separate marketing cost. But, with Yelko now it possible to invest small amount as small as 299 per year to 8848 per year for marketing budget. Our team strongly believes that tech products should be simple to navigate, fast to adopt and affordable to purchase. And we have been focused on that since very long.
What have we achieved?
We have been successful in orienting various kind of customers (200+) to make their own website. Some have been using our paid service and some are using our free services. In the process we have been successful in orienting customers with basic knowledge like creating accounts, verifying emails, how automation platform works and many more small basic actions that users of developing countries like Nepal don’t know very well. Regardless of the current time, we know we have much more to achieve in the coming days and we need to reach much more mass than we have been successful till now.
