Hi there ..
Noticed that with an idea alone won’t be sufficient. Some pre-requisites need to be done first prior to selling any products in the net.
Thinking of it, make me slow. Coz’ I’m lacking in this net gadget which was too complicated at first.
But, somehow I realized, I need to overcome this, otherwise I can’t move on.
Being in IT area, gives me a lil bit of advantages. I can see things in bigger picture & visualize how things get connected.
For our benefit, let me share with you couple of things that I did to prepare the environment before start selling.
Let’s do it & keep it simple.
1. Buy domain name for your web page. Ensure to buy hosting as well. I made mistake previously when not buying the hosting, resulting me not getting database to put my contents and etc. Roughly it costs about RM60 only. Think of it as an investment. Coz’ you can make alot of money out of it. Click here to check whether the domain name (url name) available or not.
2. Install webpage software. Currently, I’m using WordPress software. For me, it’s simple. Just upload the software, install & setup. They also provide the step-by-step on how to do it. Previously my mom got it for RM30, but now I think they sell for RM50. Click here to read more on this.
3. Write something about what you want to sell in your webpage. Some called it “Blogging”. You can also add some pictures to give more info.
4. Market your webpage in the net (Internet Marketing). There are thousands of it. The most powerful one is via participating in net forum or via facebook.
5. Setting up your bank account to receive payments. If you expect, your buyers are just Malaysian, you do not have to register paypal. For my case, Maybank2u is sufficient already. It’s more than enough. Coz’ my target market is local Malaysian.
6. Internet Access is a number one thing that you must have. Here in Malaysia, we have plenty for you to subscribe. We have Celcom Broadband, Maxis Broadband, Streamix TMNet, P1-Wimax and etc. I chose Celcom, coz’ it can tag along with my mobile. So long as I have my handphone with me, I’m connected.
