Direct Sales Franchise by Alun - Home Run Businesses You Can Start - Direct Sales Home Franchise - Duration: 5:49.

Direct Sales / Home Based Franchise

Entreprenuer.com defines a home based franchise as a business that primarily works out of

the owner's home.

The business can be of any type or any sort as long as the office is located in a home.

Many well known companies today actually began out of people's garages or home.

These include Apple Computers, Electronic Data Systems, Baskin Robbins, Hallmark Cards

and Purex.

The internet has actually made the process of working from home much easier.

Now what is a home based franchise?

There is a big difference between a work from home opportunity and a home based franchise.

A home based franchise is like a licensing system, where the owner of a service or a

product gives other people a license to sell or market a product (or service) inside a

given territory, according to the guidelines of the franchisor.

To get this franchise, you will have to pay an up front franchise fee and/or give a percentage

of your sales to the owner of the product or service.

Some examples of home based franchises are Bark Busters, Plan Ahead Events and Kidzart.

This is different from a 'direct sales opportunity'.

In the latter, you have to invest a lot lower.

Some of these 'franchises' can be purchased a few hundred dollars.

A direct sales opportunity does not have the rigidness of the franchise model.

You are not expected to limit yourself to a certain territory and you don't have to

pay a royalty to the owner of the business or service.

Some examples of direct sales business are Mary Kay, Avon, The Pampered Chef and Passion

Parties.

If you like to meet new people and help them use the latest products, you should choose

a direct sales business.

The products are picked out for you.

You will also be given marketing materials to promote your business.

You will also have the support of other people, engaged in the same business.

At the same time, you must be smart to steer clear of scams masquerading as legitimate

direct sales opportunities.

Any scheme that tries to make money by dishonest, fraudulent or deceptive means is a scam.

So you should be very careful when selecting a direct sales opportunity.

Why 'direct sales' is a good opportunity to make money?

House ware, selling clothes, beauty products through consultations or home parties is big

business.

According to the Direct Sales Association, retail sales of such products exceeded $34.47

billion in 2014.

Direct sales actually helped many people tide over the recession of 2008 (many people who

lost their jobs in the recession became direct sales representatives for various products

and today, they have chucked their earlier jobs and become direct sales representatives).

Take the case of Elvi Valenzuela, a former NJ car sales man.

The recession decreased the demand for cars.

Like many others in his profession, Evi also saw a drastic decrease in his income.

When he couldn't take it anymore, he chucked his job and joined his mother as a direct

sales representative for JAFRA Cosmetics International.

He is just two years in the job today.

But he is already earning more than $12,000 a month.

He was also awarded a $40000 Mercedes from JAFRA for his efforts.

But here's the catch.

Most direct sales agents don't earn that much money.

Evi is a full time direct sales agent and he works more than 40 hours a week on it.

On the opposite end, more than 90 percent of all direct sales agents are part timers

i.e they are working at it only part time.

Be realistic Direct sales representatives earn money from

selling products directly, from recruiting other agents like them and from the sales

of their agents.

Therefore, the term multi level marketing.

The problem is, many direct sales representatives in their zeal to get recruit new people make

promises that just aren't feasible.

When the new recruit doesn't get these returns, he gets disillusioned.

The reality is, the average income of a direct sales representative is very small.

Of course, successful direct sales representatives will say your income in direct sales depends

on your hard work and persistence.

But how many people are ready to listen to that, in an era of instant gratification.

Set your own hours It is also a fact that most people are not

direct sales representatives.

Most of hold other full time jobs (or no jobs) and only do direct sales on the sides.

Basically, they are trying to supplement their income.

Another appealing thing about direct sales is, you can set your own hours.

May be you are with a young child, at home.

Now, at this stage you can't work full time.

At the same time, you want to earn some money.

So you become a direct sales representative.

It doesn't need a big investment too.

But be careful.

There are scams out there, masquerading as direct sales companies.

These people are unscrupulous and won't let morality get in the way between them and your

money.

So bogus schemes and pyramid schemes are common.

How to tell a legitimate direct sales company from a false one?

Luckily, there are some red flags that tell if a company is true or not.

One such red flag is this.

Are the company's revenues highly dependent on agent recruitment (and not product sales)?

Second, is the management willing to share compensation details?

Did you get something for your initial investment (training, product samples, marketing materials)?

Finally, do you have to pay out of your nose to become a member of the group?

It is a misconception that direct sales can help you get rich quickly.

But nothing is further than the truth.

Most people who make money from direct sales have been at it for a number of years.

They have built up a big network, have a number of contacts and know their product inside

out, just like any other business.

So if you are hoping direct sales will make you rich in a few months, think again.

Virtual Assistant by Alun Hill- Home Run Businesses You Can Start - Become A Virtual Assistant - Duration: 5:06.

Become A Virtual Assistant

Everyone needs a little help occasionally, and a virtual assistant often fits the bill,

stepping in to fill the gap.

Whether it is booking tickets for vacations or paying bills that are almost overdue or

answering emails, the job opportunities are infinite.

The greatest part?

You can do it all right from the comfort of your home.

If this sounds like a great career opportunity, here is some more information you can use

to get started on this business in no time at all.

What kind of tasks do virtual assistants do?

Practically any kind of job can be outsourced today thanks to the internet making it easy

for folks in far flung places to communicate and share information in minutes.

So if you are a tax whiz, you can offer virtual assistance to small business owners or individuals

to do their tax time tasks for them.

That would mean you find out how much they owe, you fill out forms and even help them

file the returns.

If you have experience in the Human Resources department of a company, businesses may like

to hire you to whet the credentials of their prospective employees.

Even if you lack work experience, there are tons of tasks you can do.

What about taking calls for someone when they are out of the country?

Or sorting medical bills and papers for people who find it confusing and difficult to do

it?

How about managing household payments for elderly people who are no longer able to do

it all themselves efficiently.

The list is virtually infinite.

Set up costs The thing about a virtual assistant business

is that the set up costs depend on the kind of tasks you want to take up, to some extent.

For example, as a virtual assistant for your elderly client who needs his tax forms filled

out, all you need is a computer and an internet connection.

In fact, there are many such tasks you can take up with just these two at hand.

Set up costs are minimal if you already have these at home.

That said, it is a great idea to invest in a website to promote your virtual assistant

business.

You can do it yourself if you are proficient or hire someone to set up a basic site for

you.

You can hire a designer for as low as $600 to create a attractive site.

If you are using a template design from your web host, all it takes is a few dollars.

Factor in these costs if you really want your business to grow rapidly because the internet

is the most cost effective and speedy way to reach an incredibly large audience.

Keep in mind that as a virtual assistant you have clients anywhere across the globe so

making sure you can reach every market is actually a sound business investment if the

services you offer have global relevance.

The advantages of setting up a virtual assistant business

• Flexibility to work at any time of your convenience

• Choice of tasks to undertake • The option to create a business opportunity

out of virtually any skill that you possess • Have as many clients or as few as you

can manage with ease • Scale up your business as much as you

can , whenever you need to into a standalone office

• Start off your business with little investment • Get rid of commuting hassles, and save

money on fuel • Make money doing work that you love

• Improve skills in a particular area (For example, offer your services as a translator

and brush up your foreign language skills) Locating clients

The key to success as a virtual assistant is your ability to locate a good number of

clients your services.

Here are some ideas you can use to your clientele: • Use your contacts: Networking with people

lets you spread the word about your services around the neighborhood so that people who

have a need get in touch with you.

Keep in touch with old friends and acquaintances on a regular basis, maintain great relationships

with your neighbors to make sure you have many brand ambassadors out on the road, so

to speak.

• Cold call prospective clients: You know of an elderly couple living nearby who find

it troublesome to get all their bill payments done; you can call them and offer your services.

This is one way you can use cold calling to get new clients for your business.

If you are calling business owners, do not get discouraged by the rather curt response

you may get from some of them.

Remember that they get sales calls all the time.

• Use social media: Put up blog posts about how virtual assistance can help, link to them

from your social media channels to highlight a need and showcase that you have a solution.

You can get your social media buddies to share your content and links too.

• Use internet platforms: Platforms like TaskRabbit act as a bridge between people

who need stuff done and people who do them.

Sign up on such sites to make finding clients a trouble free process.

The great thing about this is that you are not limited to people that you know or people

from your neighborhood.

You can find clients who are located on the other side of the world which means you are

gaining exposure to an entirely new marketplace!

Start A Snow Plowing Business by Alun Hill - Home Run Businesses You Can Start - Start Snow Plowing - Duration: 2:00.

Start A Snow Plowing Business

Is there a lot of snow where you live?

If so, you know, for a fact, that heavy snow can cause a lot of problems, especially if

it isn't plowed regularly.

So, what do you do?

Do you start taking care of it on your own or wait for your government or municipal service

to do something about it?

Well, what if we told you that you can take care of the snow plowing yourself and even

make some money doing it.

Yes, we're talking about starting your own snow plowing service.

It's a fairly easy business to start.

You don't need to invest a lot or work too long.

Plus, your neighbors will love you for it.

However, you do need to put in some effort and practice diligence.

So, here are a few tips to help you get started.

Get Your Finances in Order One of the first things you need to do is

to make sure you've got enough money to start a business, while ensuring that you

have something to fall back on if things go south.

Start of by anticipating your expenses.

Starting a snow plowing business does require some investment.

Prepare a budget to keep a track of all the expenses you'll be making.

For instance, you will need to purchase the right equipment.

Snow plowing equipment can cost a bit.

According to experts, a snow plow, salt, snow blower, and salt sprayer will set you back

by a minimum of $3000.

If you're planning to go for some high end stuff, you may even need to invest a solid

$10,000.

Then, of course, you have to consider transportation.

You will need a vehicle to go around and market your services.

You might even have to consider attaching a plow to your vehicle to provide extra plowing

services apart from manually shoveling snow off driveways and porches.

So, you'll have to factor in expenses for gas and a vehicle that is reliable.

You will also need to look at winter maintenance expenses for the vehicle you choose.

The next big thing is insurance.

Most businesses are required by law to have some form of liability insurance.

Other than that, you will need insurance for your vehicle and for your snow plowing equipment.

Finally, you will have to invest in the right gear.

Snow plowing requires you to dress a certain way For example, you will need a sturdy set

of snow boots, a coat and a pair of gloves.

This is obviously for your own protection and an expense that you cannot avoid.

Once your finances are in order, look at how much you can invest from your own pocket.

The rest can be always taken as a bank loan.

However, make sure you have a solid business plan in place to justify your need for a loan

from the bank.

Start Researching Start conducting some research on your business.

For instance, look at how you can price your services.

Analyze your benefits against your risks.

You can do this by studying about similar businesses in your region and outside it.

Researching such topics will tell you how much profit you can earn realistically, while

ensuring that your prices are competitive.

There are several factors that will affect your pricing.

For example, the amount of snowfall in your region might vary from other regions.

You might need to plow more or plow less.

If the plowing effort is less, you will have to charge less.

Similarly, the type of customer you're catering to also affects your pricing.

For instance, commercial clients can be charge more than the average home owner.

Register Your Business The next big step is to actually register

your business with the government.

Here, you can decide on the type of structure your business will have.

You can register as a Sole proprietorship (single owner), Limited Liability Company

(LLC: You have limited liability and you will be eligible for tax exemptions and benefits),

or Corporation (large scale operations).

Generally, most businesses start as Sole Proprietorships.

You will also need to choose a unique name for your business when registering.

The name you choose shouldn't be trademark protected.

Also, make sure it is catchy and relevant to your business.

Remember, your business's name will affect the way it is perceived.

So, spend time coming up with viable options.

Registering a business is complex legal process.

So, you might want some legal assistance here.

Market The final step is to market your business.

There are many ways to do so.

However, the method you choose may depend on what kind of customers you have or your

budget etc.

For instance, if you want to start locally, try a door-to-door approach.

Use word of mouth tactics to get the word around.

If you want to cater to a larger area or a particular demographic, try using traditional

advertising methods.

However, these methods may be expensive.

So, try starting your own website and social media profile.

Social media is a cost-friendly method to promote your business and it is quite effective.

A website, on the other hand, might require some investment.

However, it is still cheaper than print or broadcast media.

Website Content Writer by Alun Hill - Home Run Businesses You Can Start - Website Content Writer - Duration: 5:56.

Become A Website Content Creator

An e-business is the most lucrative and easy form of business that can be set up.

E-businesses largely work through a website medium with a much farther reach than a traditional

one.

A large part of the success is credited to how the website looks, functions, and what

information it provides.

Irrelevant information can drive away customers looking for genuine content.

The goal of the information is to turn a one-time visitor into a regular customer.

And thus, it is always important to provide the right information relevant to the target

audience.

The internet is a virtual landfill of information that is, for the most part, mediocre and uninspiring.

So how does a successful business stand out from its competition?

By providing high-quality content, of course.

The job to create such quality content lies with a website content writer.

Writing articles, blog posts, and product descriptions help a business expand their

repertoire beyond the "sell and buy" nature of a traditional exchange.

Great content keeps customers engaged with the business and makes them come back for

more.

These days, content writing has become a great way to earn extra money with many web content

writers beginning their career from home.

Who is a website content writer?

A website content writer or web content writer is one who provides relevant content to websites.

Content writers understand the website's target audience and tailor content accordingly.

For an audience to find your work as a content writer, you should speak to them differently

– have your own unique voice.

The content should also be easy to read and offer information that the customer is looking

for.

Making an impression with words is one of the most important skills that you, as a web

content writer, should develop.

Responsibilities of a content writer Writing content is your primary job as a content

writer.

In addition to that, you are required to perform many tasks that include:

• Creating unique content for the target audience free from errors and spelling mistakes.

• Writing content in such a way that it is noticed by readers, not just search engines.

• Using relevant keywords and phrases that are most likely to be used by the website's

audience.

This also helps search engines index and rank the site better.

• Occupying visitors on the website with engaging content so that they stay longer

and eventually become customers.

• Creating promotions for the company/business to sell or advertise their products and services

better.

The aim of content writing or marketing is to drive traffic to websites and convert that

traffic into revenue.

The most volatile element of an e-business is the customer who will move on to another

site if your content isn't up to the mark.

Therefore, it is important to create content quickly and regularly while maintaining quality.

Skills needed for a good content writer If you thought a good word processor and a

fair grasp of the language is what you need to succeed as a web content writer, think

again.

These are the basic requirements that, quite frankly, everyone has.

There are certain skills that are integral to creating a work of great quality and add

to your success as a content writer.

• Originality: Plagiarizing someone else's work and passing it on as yours may be easy

at the time but it will cost you your reputation.

The ideas in your head may not be unique but presenting them in a unique way is a talent

you should cultivate.

It is best to take precautions while writing because not only is plagiarism wrong, it is

also illegal.

• Creating a powerful headline: A catchy headline is an 8 – 10 word summary of the

accompanying article giving a hint at the kind of content they are being presented.

It is the first item a reader notices in any article.

It has to pique the readers' interest and compel them to read your article.

• Ability to evoke emotions: Lack of emotions distances the audience from your content no

matter how well-written it is.

The reader should be engrossed in the article and bond with it.

You don't have to fluff it up and create exaggerated stories, but emphasizing your

emotions with proper formatting and types such as exclamation marks, bold, and italics

will help the reader identify with and connect to it.

• Capable of adapting different writing styles: Newspapers are formal, blogs are personal,

whitepapers are technical, and opinion columns are frank.

Each medium requires a different tone and style to reach its audience.

Even clients require a signature style that is representative of their brand.

Being able to adapt to these changes and deliver content successfully are highly valued in

a content writer.

• Avoiding unnecessary jargon: Do not complicate your writing by adding words that only you

can understand.

Most well-written articles utilize simple words and writing techniques that immediately

attract readers.

Using unfamiliar words (with the help of a Thesaurus) will not make you sound intelligent.

Unless you are writing for a lawyer, it is best to avoid jargon in customer-facing media

such as blogs.

• Proof-reading: No one will read your content if it is chock full of spelling mistakes and

grammatical errors.

Always go through your work and correct any errors before submission.

This will ensure your work is of great quality and can be uploaded onto the website with

minimum or no editing.

Such quality work translates into more business and, in turn, more revenue for the website

and you.

• Knowledge of SEO, HTML, and CSS: Search engine optimization (SEO) will enable search

engines to effectively find and index your content which will affect traffic to the website.

HTML and CSS focus on how the content is displayed.

It is better to know the basics of how these work to modify content according to their

functions.

A 500-word article that is well-structured and high in content is far more valuable than

a 1500-word article without any quality.

Becoming a good content writer is easy provided you apply these skills and practice them regularly.

Many successful web content writers work from home and choose the projects on which they

wish to work.

As enviable as it may sound, a lot of hard work, discipline, dedication, and learning

is involved in turning a part-time venture into a rewarding career.

House Cleaning by Alun Hill - Home Run Businesses You Can Start - Start A House Cleaning Business - Duration: 3:14.

Start A Home Cleaning Business

As long as dirt and grime exist, there will be a need for house-cleaning services.

And that can be good news for you if you have a house cleaning business set up right at

your home.

Stand out amidst competition in this segment by giving something that others don't.

For example, use only green cleaning products or offer a yearly subscription at a deep discount.

Make sure you advertise these special features so that people know why they should choose

you over your competitors.

So who are the people who need your services?

• In many homes and apartments, people want to enjoy the luxury of not having to scrub

floors and dust furniture.

• There are many people who simply cannot take time from their busy work schedule and

invest hours in giving their homes a really thorough cleaning and scrubbing.

• There are also many who are allergic to cleaning products, which means that the kind

of cleaning they typically do is not completely effective.

They need to call in professional cleaners periodically to ensure grime does not build

up.

• Home owners who suffer from respiratory illnesses often find that their ailment is

aggravated by dust.

They will be happy to find someone who can take over this task and get it done while

they stay a safe distance away.

• What about elderly folks or those who have physical disabilities or those who have

suffered an injury owing to which, they cannot take on the heavy work that cleaning involves?

They will be glad to subscribe to your service too.

• People who live away from home for long periods of time or who travel a lot would

like to get their homes cleaned out in preparation for their arrival.

Sustaining a home cleaning business is easiest when you share glowing reviews from customers

of yours.

Building relationships with them is very important because a whole lot of your business may come

in from returning customers who call you in whenever they need a reliable cleaning service.

This is a recurring demand niche and you should make the best of this aspect by providing

exemplary service that encourages your clients to remain loyal to you.

Here are some tips you can use:

• When you get a new client, take the time to understand exactly what they expect from

you.

Show them pictures or videos of what you typically do and the results they can expect.

• List out the services that are included in your package, making sure that you cover

all the areas of the house that you will be cleaning.

This eliminates misunderstandings.

For example, if your cleaning package does not include clearing out the overhead storage

areas, do mention this.

If you will not be cleaning out the pool and the backyard as part of your house cleaning

package mention this.

Describe what you will and will not be doing and make sure your client completely understands.

• Be responsive to your client and make sure that you have open and friendly communication

with them.

• Go the extra mile to put a smile on your customer's face because they are your biggest

brand ambassadors.

• Check if they have any allergies to cleaning products or if they want you to use only environment

friendly products.

Adapt to their needs, be flexible enough to give them what they need and you will build

a relationship for life.

Become A Business Plan Writer by Alun Hill - Home Run Businesses You Can Start: Business Plan Writer - Duration: 4:21.

Become A Business Plan Writer

This can be a rewarding opportunity, finding work as a freelance business plan writer.

Who hires freelance business plan writers?

Those who need a business plan - these are entrepreneurs, mostly first-time businessmen

and businesswomen who are just starting out.

They have absolutely no idea what a business plan (which is why they cannot come up with

one themselves), so this is where you can be of assistance.

If you have specialized knowledge of business, you can put that to use, helping others.

Done right, your clients will remember you when they achieve success and recommend you

to others as well.

How lucrative is it being a freelance business plan writer?

We weren't kidding when we said rewarding, neither was it a figure of speech - the average

cost of a business plan is $4100, according to the results of a survey undertaken a few

years ago.

There are cheap business plan writers who charge $100 and produce something that only

requires them to spend five hours of their time.

But such a business plan is not solid or detailed enough, and for someone who requisitions it,

such a plan only ends up costing them much more in the long run.

Then there are those who charge $1000 and spend 20 hours on it, but even then, this

is hardly enough.

Determining your payment structure Because a business plan is the blueprint for

a business, it requires a lot of research.

You could do well to charge accordingly and not have any flat fees, because every business

is different, and seeks to thrive in a different business environment.

So when someone reaches out to you, acknowledge them instead of replying with a standardized-template

style reply.

Thank them (when you really mean it, it is bound to show in your writing) sincerely for

contacting you.

Instead of mentioning your rates, even if they ask for it, tell them politely why you

do not have any flat fees.

Ask them for a few days so that you could determine how much it is going to cost them.

Then do your initial research, assess the level of difficulty involved, estimate the

time it would take, add a buffer to take care of any unforeseen delays (like power or internet

outages and/or personal problems that may crop up), and get back to them with a quote

that would be adequate compensation for your effort (you do not want to feel that you are

being underpaid at any point of time during the process).

If it is too much for them, let them move on.

You do not have to worry about 'lost' business.

It is expected to take two months to break even, with the average daily expenses being

around $50.

Understanding the competition There might be MBAs in the market who charge

$400-$600, and if you are wondering how you could compete against them, remember this

- these are usually fresh graduates who have no or very little real-time experience.

The business plans they generate needn't always necessarily be of high quality.

Besides, if they are so great, why aren't they in full-time employment already?

Surely they didn't do their MBA in order to become freelance business plan writers working

Professional business plan writers charge $3000-$5000 per plan - this is the segment

where you should be competing.

Because there are several business plan writers around (some of them designate themselves

as business consultants who also write business plans), quality is the only differentiator

that is going to make you successful in this field.

The ratio of good business plan writers to the ones that produce low-quality plans has

been estimated at one for every four.

So you know how much of the 'competition' really counts as competition.

It might be unfair to term them as competitors - there is enough demand in the market for

the good ones.

Getting clients Listing yourself on freelance work sites as

a contractor is your best bet when starting out in the field.

It might take time to get your first assignment, but don't worry.

Use the downtime to read all about writing a business plan, the markets in general and

update yourself with all that data.

You could upgrade your spreadsheet and financial knowledge skills as well, in addition to your

writing and image design skills - there are plenty of free online courses around.

Then when you get your first client, you can use this wealth of information to deliver

better and faster.

If you have a satisfied client (you could always ask for feedback a month or two later),

you can leverage this to your advantage - you could ask him/her if she/she would be willing

to review your services if contacted, and if he/she gives his/her assent, you could

list that client as a reference when talking to other clients.

Remember, learning is a lifelong process - it always helps to keep yourself up-to-date.

You could do this even when you are in between clients.

It pays!

There is also the chance that you will be tasked with writing two or more business plans

at the same time.

If you ever find yourself in such a situation, there are two options - you could choose to

work on one at a time, and then start working on the other when you have finished the first

one (you need to explain this to the second client, how you pay attention to detail, and

why it might take some time to deliver, but how he/she can be assured of a high-quality

business plan at the end), and so forth.

This might put off some clients, but it is never a good idea to compromise on quality.

This only affects your reputation and your business in the long term.

Add value Anybody who has run a business will tell you

that sticking to a dated business plan is a major mistake.

Any business plan needs to constantly reviewed and revised to accommodate changes in the

business environment.

This also presents a new market segment.

You could offer to update the business plan periodically (who better than you, who wrote

it in the first place) for a fee; or even update existing business plans written by

others.

Another way of adding value is offering to answer for free any questions the client or

his/her employees might have at any point of time later, even months after you have

submitted your business plan.

When you engage yourself with your clients constantly in this fashion, asking them questions

about their business, their vision for their enterprise and how they see themselves achieving

it, you position yourself as more than just a business plan writer - you are seen as a

business consultant, truly worthy of the fees you charge.

Tyres - Tech Facts - DTM 2016 - Duration: 2:37.

Everybody has identical tyres.

For me, tyres are a very important aspect, as they have been during my 16 years in the DTM.

It is the contact you have with the track surface and the tyres allow for steps that you will never be able to make with set-up or development.

Was that the right pressure, the right window, in which the tyre was working on the first lap?

Do you want to prepare the tyre just for qualifying or for a race distance?

This is the kind of questions we always have do deal with during a race weekend.

Together with the tyre engineers who analyse all the data from the long runs during the free practice sessions.

For instance, you go out in qualifying and you know that the first lap has to be spot on,

because on the second lap, you already have a slight drop, which means grip on the rear axle or the front axle is decreasing.

And you see it on the tyres straight away, but also during acceleration: oh, there is a little less traction there already.

When you don't manage to get into the right window for tyre pressure and temperatures, you already notice it after two or three corners.

Of course, making the best out of it, all pushed into one lap, is the challenge.

Sometimes, you have a set, you go out, the pressure is perfect, they are perfectly heated

and then you simply feel: this is going to be a good lap, the grip is there.

Outside temperatures, track temperatures always vary. Track conditions, the graining of the asphalt is always different.

And that means that there isn't a standard tyre pressure and a temperature window that fit, it can be different on every weekend.
