[@projectlevelup2386]

I showed your video to my whole family and we’re rooting for you. My mom said you should try to get a little establishment, a place to set up permanently. You’re headed in the right direction with the food handler’s permit. Please upload more regularly. I would love to follow your journey, and you’re entertaining to watch to boot!

[@carolinec.2292]

Hi Nena. Porridge is a wholesome Food. It's nutritional, and healthy. I would suggest you make 3 big signs. Hot Porridge daily. One for the front and the other 2 on the sides, so people can see the signs from afar. Sell some water too. Decor your stand. Make it attractive. Always pray before you leave out mornings and give thanks in the evening to God. Stay strong, Stay bless. Caroline.

Good idea. The sign

[@joanfamewo8418]

You are a True Jamaican. What u should do, go to the Taxi stand and give some porridge away for free. Most likely the new will spread and people will start buy your porridge. I am sure your porridge is delicious. Don’t give up. You are naturally funny. Don’t give up your You Tube Channel you will succeed.

[@Sandart65]

It’s a blessing that you feed the children in school. 40+ years my aunt used to take sandwiches and milk to school , because she knew some of the parents couldn’t afford to feed the kids. May God bless your porridge business ❤

[@randiehinds8243]

Good and truthful advise

[@RealYaadieNena]

Fffaaaccctttttssss love

[@eileenwatt8283]

​@@RealYaadieNenapeople assume because you are white you shouldn't be selling porridge because you have more opportunities. Here is what you do. Make your porridge and hire a black Jamaican to sell it. If you notice the most successful business own by whites in Jamaica is fronted by blacks. You have to learn how the country see you and work it in your favor. You remind me of my St. Elizabeth family.

[@eileenwatt8283]

​@@RealYaadieNenait could also be you are not at a good location. It might be dangerous to stop if driving. Maybe a location where people walking by is easier or if it's near a shopping center with parking.

I kid you not; in high school I got the idea to sell sweets because I use to get alot of chocolates etc from overseas.

[@DrNR-pw6co]

Nena, I have an idea for you the same market you are trying to capture.; do a promotion/ sample tasting to them. Go down to the school connect with the principal and say your promoting Nena Porridge and would love to set up a morning where the teachers can try the porridge. Make sure to have cups with lids some promotional stuff ( get a laminated posture made with a picture of you with the name of your business) or get a Polo or T-shirt with your branding. Give some nutritional facts to the ingredients. I like how you wear your hair in a ponytail when serving. Wearing a cap is a plus if you don't want to wear the hair net, also, wearing gloves ( essentialloves is essential as well). Aways remember people eat with their eyes first before they decide to taste it ( how does the environment look, how is the food presented). Connect with some businesses too banks, and government offices. I hope you see this, and it helps. Sometimes you need people rejecting your business to think beyond them. When you become known brand, you're going to hear " A long time me a support har enuh"

[@dreamalee8400]

Good idea very good

[@dreamalee8400]

Some school principal don't alone some stuff thou unless them go buy it for their self

[@ruthmc5091]

I like how you have tried to act on an initiative by making porridge for people commuting to work. Have you thought of putting up some signs a few mins drive near to where you are based and one where you are selling n maybe they may stop or to give a small cups with free samples of porridge. Then say what day they must come n buy etc. Hoping things will grow. Bless you Nena. 😊💖🇯🇲🇬🇧

[@gingerspice3329]

Get up in the morning and pray over your porridge and your pots and your spot. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL PERSON. Don't say a Word. Just pray. If you sell one cup lift up Towards heaven and Thanks the G-d of the universe. If Don't sell None still give him Thanks. If you sell one cup put something aside to give away or to a church. Ask G-d to Multiply it. He will. I just came upon your channel. Good content. ❤ I subscribe.

Hun,dont even worry about it lol some are just angry they didn't think of that idea first. "First they laugh then they follow" before you know it they will be out there too. What you're doing is bigger than yourself, you're showing others what determination looks like even when you don't HAVE to do something but set your mind to it you do it! I wish you all the best and wish I was near to support

[@lisethsmall1372]

Like any business still, you have to feel out the market. Many people dont like oats porridgefor real, or take their own breakfast to work so you have to take that into consideration. Also, advertise it ahead of time at the school or work places close by. It takes time. Keep the faith and you will reap rewards🎉

Maybe I missed it but a good easy to read while driving sign , hot porridge $250 for sale. Maybe some people just don't stop because they don't know. Maybe even a few balloons on the sign or something to draw the eye. Vendors make the world go round, good luck!

[@jadeanomuzik8849]

From di fuss day mi si dis pikni mi life tek har. Mi woulddah buy yuh parrig mumma. It challenges a lot of stereotypes and breaks down a lot of barriers. Remember yuh white and Jamaicans have ideas of white. Yes, I see that you are white and so does everyone passing by. It is a challenge for people , even when you are them friend and kumbolo dem still (subconsciously) habour the inferior and esteemed complex. It has nothing to do with you these persons not buying the porridge. It is just an internal discourse in dem Jamaican self. If to begin you had hired someone black and sent them out their to sell the porridge, it would sell. If you had a polished and proper establishment out there instead of a stall it would sell. What you are experiencing is a very concrete issue. Do not stop doing you as being you will change the discourse. Dont hate the people dem. Dont hold it against dem. Try identify ways you can break down de walls and erode the barriers. Gwaan hold up yuh head and hold out mumma. Remember the discourse is not personal, it is traditional and historic.

[@RealYaadieNena]

this is sooooooooooooooo true❤️ respect so much for giving me another perspective on things as well, it helps me better analyse and know how to move forward even more confidently now but you are soo right, its internal and that's one of the reason I start with such a Business that's not so prim and proper lol but respect my friend🫶🏻

When are you going to do such a business? Do your research, get a good area where you know that it is a great traffic flow. Make sure you have your signs up, alsomake sure that there are place where vehicles can park properly when they are stopping to make their purchase, also give your place a nice little design, such as making a little tash or bamboo place that looks attractive, set up your table your stove and also get other little things that could also intrest the buyer. I bet you will see your little kitchen make it. It does not matter who you are, or what you are if you setup your place right you will see changes.

A lot of us Jamaicans really don’t eat from unfamiliar sources. Especially if you’re not very credible in the field(compared to people you’ve seen so it for ages), 2. On you’re second day, it’s expected, a typical small business takes how long to get off the ground? Market your product, a sign, give weh some. Research instead of resorting to the idea that ppl are badmind, especially for the fact that ur business is new and ur putting it on the internet. N ps. Careful weh u put out dere pan d net cause u want the support still from all these people

[@keishawilson9778]

This was the best thing you could have told her some people have a privileged mentality so they think that just because they say they are selling something that people will just come to them and buy.. NO SIR!! You have to build a relationship with the peope first!! You do not get customers going on the Internet calling people bad minded because they're not purchasing from you!! instead maybe give out some samples to people so they can try it and then they will trust that it's good and then they will buy. This girl need to change the way she thinks and maybe she will be successful.
