Digital in Ukraine – More than just blondes…

17/06/2009

So once again, this boy has been a little quiet but was exploring markets in the Ukraine this time… Not just for women twice my height in high heels and short skirts ;)

Developing markets are becoming somewhat of an interest to me now. I plan to continue my work in East Africa, maybe sooner than later as its now boom boom boom! In all honesty though, its not such a nice market to work in because politicians in Africa are a different breed all together! Quite simply put, they are corrupt and would prefer their continent to stay poor rather than for an equal distribution of wealth…

But moving on from East Africa, I recently spent a short time in Ukraine which was also super interesting. A country that is incredibly cheap, if not cheaper than Africa & has a huge pool of resources. The number one problem here is most speak Russian only – but if you can work around that, there is a very good market here, people are willing to work hard & many have a decent education. They at the very least have access to fast internet which in development terms is education for most – like me :)

The quality of work or should I say sites is pretty low but its getting better. I personally met with several freelancers and entrepreneurs and also intend to tap into this market in some manner or another so if your interested in Eastern markets then get in touch with me as I am currently working on ideas to utilize this market in Ukraine…
