Description: Tokyo’s Coolest Networking Event! Tips & Tricks for Building and Monetizing a Website for Non-Techies
Start Time: 19:00
Date: 2009-09-03
End Time: 22:00
Our presenter, Honor Dargan, first became interested in website building back in 2005 when she set up her first website about one of her favorite holiday destinations – Bali. It was an ambitious idea but hard to bring to fruition, and after about 6 months she gently laid her first site to rest. However, Honor didn’t give up at that stage, but learned from her mistakes and is now the busy owner of successful website TokyoTopia.com. TokyoTopia is a website dedicated to short-term and long-term visitors to Tokyo. The goal of Honor’s website is clear: “Tokyo Made Simple”.
Honor declares herself a non-tecchie, but is passionate about helping others learn how they can use the web to grow their own online businesses without having to be a tech guru.
In this presentation Honor will be sharing information about some of the services available to build a website as well as looking at ways to earn income from your efforts. Some of the key points that Honor will be addressing during her talk will be:
1. The key differences between online and offline businesses.
2. How to build a website that works.
3. An overview of the various monetization options available.
4. The affiliate marketing model and how it works.
After her presentation Honor will spend time taking questions from the audience and addressing specific topics as requested.
If you’ve ever wanted to make money online by building and monetizing a website but didn’t know where to start, be sure to attend PCC #65 on September 3rd at the Pink Cow!!
Entry: ¥2,000, includes light food.
Doors open at 7:00pm and the event includes light nibbles. Presentations begin at 7:30pm.

How to be published in Japan: Tips and Tricks for Writers of Books and Articles
Cindy Mullins will address how to get a book published in Japan. Cindy will explain the book publishing process, how to woo agents and publishers by writing a killer book proposal that will grab their attention. She will also talk about ‘Priorities, Passion, and Publishing: The Secret Formula for Creating a Best-selling Book or Successful Career’.
Hugh Ashton will tell us about independent publishing. He will concentrate on the process of self-publishing via the online PoD service route, rather than the ‘print it yourself and get a crate of sliced dead trees’ approach. Kathleen Morikawa covers this approach excellently in her book, ‘Self Publishing in Japan: What You Need to Get Started’:http://tinyurl.com/qxc721
Miki Noguchi will discuss freelance writing in Tokyo: how to get articles published in magazines, print or online. She will explain how you’ve gotta hustle because it’s all about making contacts.

WorkVitamins, Bringing Perspective to the Office
“Maximizing your working environment assets. Productive spaces to improve your business.”
Speaker: Martin van der Linden
Anyone who has worked for a typical Japanese corporation has horror stories to tell about the workplace. The rows and rows of small, steel desks with files and paper stacked above and below, the colour tones of Stalinist grey evenly distributed throughout the whole space except for the yellow smoking room , the artistic coffee stains on the carpet, the direct translation of the company’s hierarchy onto the design (buchos on the window, kachos on the end of each row, last hire at the end of the row), the blinds that are consistently closed and despite the top location of the office allow no views outside, etc.. etc… Is it any wonder that Japan has one of the world’s highest suicide rates?
Studies have shown that the work environment has a significant influence on our well being. The work environment is business’ last frontier, as companies should stop to treat their work space as a warehouse crammed with stuff and staff. It is time to view the work environment as a powerful motivational tool to create a place where people enjoy working in, encourages communication and team work.
The workplace can either hinder or encourage this.
During the presentation Martin will show an analysis of a typical office and the potential for change. He will explain about the methodology he created called WorkVitamins, which through a series of 5 steps has helped his clients to implement a work environment where work can actually be fun. At the end of the presentation he will also briefly discuss a book he is writing on the subject, including the growing influence that the internet has on our rapidly changing definition of what work is.
Martin has taught and practiced architecture and design in Japan since the early 1990s. He is chief executive of van der Architects, a design and project management firm he set up in 2000, and an adjunct professor of architecture at Tokyo University of Science. His clients include Fortune 500 companies such as Ernst & Young, ING Group, Societe Generale and WPP Group.
Martin has designed and planned at several leading offices including Hiroshi Hara + Atelier, where he worked on JR Kyoto Station and Osaka’s Umeda Sky Building, Cesar Pelli & Associates and Kyoiku Shisetsu Kenkyujo. He lectured at the universities of Musashino Art, Waseda and the United Nations, and also spent time at the Bureau for Architecture and Urban Design in London.
His professional affiliations include membership of the Architects Institute of Japan as well as board memberships of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in Japan and the American Institute of Architects Japan.
A Dutch national, Martin has an MSc in Engineering Product Design from London’s Southbank University and a BSc in Interior and Industrial Design from the Academy of Fine Art Maastricht. He also was a visiting student on the Fuji-Hara Laboratory master’s course at Tokyo University.
