BUSINESS IS NOW ONLINE

I ventured into the business world in 2008 when my friend introduced me to product selling online. My friend's website was a big hit because in a day, he would sell around 100 pieces of his items. Business was doing good and he encouraged me to try it as well. I know that you must have a website or what we call online store so that customers can visit you 24/7 non-stop. I thought it was hard but actually it was not at all. You don't have to be a geek in computer and things about the internet. All you have to be is to understand the operation and that's it.

After getting the lectures from my friend, I knew that it was about time to start my own site. Since it was a business site, I must have a good domain name and I opted to have a business hosting for my site. I was expecting around 1,000 to 5,000 visitors a day and free hosting cannot support the huge traffic that I am projecting for my website. After I got the right domain and hosting, I was now visible online. My products were mostly native handmade handicrafts from the provinces. From bags to garments were all visible in my site. At my first week, visitors were not that much because I needed exposure and write ups for my site. In the second week, site visitors doubled already and the rest is history. In this generation, you must be able to tap all the mediums of investments and going online is a good thing because 80% of the people around the world are now using the internet to shop and buy the things that they wanted. I am glad that I entered to this kind of business online. I am encouraging all those who are interested to go business online for the opportunities are plenty.
