These days, getting connected to people around the world has never been easy. The same with Online Shopping! Thanks to the evolution of the Internet.
As most companies are selling their products online, shopping can be done anywhere and anytime as long as you have a computer and Internet connection.
But where the online money is, so does the opportunity for someone trying to steal them from you. This means that you have to manage the risks involve when doing an online shopping.
Here are important considerations that you have to take note when doing online purchases:
1. Portal integrity
The obvious distinction of an online shopping as compared to the traditional shopping method is that, you don’t have to talk to somebody. You are only talking to the computer you use. You don’t even see the person from whom you are buying from. If seeing is believing, then online shopping does not belong to this category. Therefore, it is important to know the portal integrity from which you are buying from. How do you know if you can trust this portal? One way is to visit a reputable website that ranks online business website like “Alexa.com”. From there you can key-in the website address and you can get the important business information you need from the portal.
2. Ask for second opinion
It is important to ask somebody around and let them know that you want to buy something from certain website. Get their feedback. You might save your money from going down the drain especially if it is a significant amount. Your friend and colleagues may even have a better portal for you to buy your item. This is a free consultation service, so make sure you avail of them!
3. Beware of identity theft
Computer is needed to do your online purchases. So which computer you should use? The obvious answer is your own! What if you do not have one? Then the option is to use the computer of somebody you know. For me it is good to tell them that you are purchasing something online. I highly recommend to you not to use a public computer for your purchase. The main reason is, you do not want your personal information to land in the wrong hands.
4. Housekeeping is needed
It is very important to clear the computer cache or the browsing history to erase your information from the computer after using. Always make it a habit to un-click options that will capture your log-in information, password and many more. You do not want your personal information to be known even to your friends and relatives. That will be an intrusion of privacy. But above all, you do not want somebody invading to your financial reserves.
5. Keep a transaction reference
For all online transactions you do, always keep a reference! It is a must in my opinion. Make this a habit to add more safety to your online purchases. A reference can be in printed form or a softcopy form. You will never know how useful they are until you need them. A reference will serve as proof of what you did and will make your case stronger when it matter most.

Proven Ways of attracting Traffic to your Website
Traffic is the life-blood of your Online Business. Without Traffic, there will be no visitors to your website. If there will be no visitors to your website, you do not have a lead or prospect that you can convert to a Customer later on.
Therefore, website traffic is a very important part of your Online Business. So, if this is a very important component of your Online Business, where can I get these sources of traffic?
The answer is…anywhere in the internet! But there are common sources of traffic that if you can tap them, you can have some traffic to your website.
Here are five proven ways of attracting Traffic to your website:
1. Follow the crowd
Obviously, you want a maximum online exposure of your website to your target audience. This means that your website must be visible to this crowd to gain maximum exposure. This could be an Article Marketing websites, Search Engine websites, Social Media websites, Forum websites, or a Blog websites. Just follow the crowd!
2. Select the Traffic Source for your Niche
Not all sources of traffic is good for you! What you should be looking for are the sources that are related to your niche. Why? Simply because these traffic have a high probability of being interested in your products and services. Therefore, the likelihood of them buying from you will be higher too.
3. Target your Customers
How this can be done? It is really not that difficult to do. This can be accomplished by having a third party software, if you have one. If not, there is a powerful tool and it is free to use…Google Adwords. I used it a lot of times and you should try it too. You can narrow down the search to your target customer based on your niche.
4. Make an irresistible offer
Give something for free to your visitors when they visit your website and they will like it most of the time. This is what you need as part of List Building and ultimately traffic to your website. Give your visitors plenty of reasons to come back to your website and do a favour to you by bringing in additional traffic. How nice is it?
5. Be fond of Statistics
Know your traffic statistics. Why you should care about this? Simply because you want to know where most of your traffic comes from, and that is where most of your money will come too! This information can be available from your hosting site. If your hosting site does not provide this information, you may use Google Analytics. I like it, it’s pretty cool online traffic tracking software and it’s free!
I encourage you to learn more and advance your knowledge about how to attract and generate traffic to your website.

Email Marketing - what are the Basics of doing it?
There are many ways of reaching out to your online customers and looking for new ones. One method that is commonly used by Internet Marketers is through Email. Thus, the phrase "Email Marketing" came about.
You might ask can I just use this method right away? The answer depends on where you are at this point in terms of your online business.
Obviously, there are considerations on the resources that you need to take note, and decide if you want to use it or not.
Here are some of them:
1. You need a List of subscribers
Obviously, you need to have someone where you can send the emails to. Without it, doing this campaign is useless and will only be a dream to you. If you do not have one, create one. The methods on how to build your subscribers list sadly is not covered in this posting.
2. You need an automation software
You need to get away from sending messages and responses manually. Otherwise you need a lot of time to do it. There are few of this type of software available in the market for you today. You can choose any of them for as long as it meets your requirements. I am using "Aweber".
3. Create a Niche campaign
You need to segregate your list according to Niche market. This way, it will be a lot easier for you to extract the list for a particular campaign. Organizing your list this way will save you a lot of time to make sure that your message reaches to the correct audience all the time. Your subscribers will get disappointed upon getting email campaigns that obviously are not meant for them.
4. Send them out
This is the critical part of the process. Always make the extra effort to verify that you are sending the message to the correct niche subscriber's list. Failure to do so will tarnish your reputation to them if they are receiving the incorrect email campaign. As a result, some of them will un-subscribe from your list. Certainly, you do not want this to happen.
5. Set back, relax and enjoy
This is the fun part which I like the most. And who does not? Obviously, you want to see your effort paying off in the form of Sales or New Subscribers. An Email Marketing when properly done and with the right product, will certainly yield good results. So sit back, relax and enjoy the waiting.

How to generate Traffic from Facebook?
Does anybody of you have any idea how popular Facebook website is? According to one of the reputable site analysis portal, in the month of June 2012, Facebook has a total number of visitors at 158,560,778! This is how popular the site is.
The other important information to know about Facebook is that, it is rank second globally as well behind Google. This is the potential of Facebook when it comes to online traffic. You can imagine the amount of traffic you can have if you can just swipe 0.01% of it.
Yes, the promise land is there. But just how you can attract some of its traffic to your website?
Let us find out what are the challenges that you will be facing:
1. Where & How to start?
If you do not have an account, create one. You can start with a Personal account and then later create a Fan Page for your business website. The good thing about Fan Page is that you share information with people who have the same interest as you are. Your personal account will do, but some of your friends might be annoyed by the products and information you are sharing.
2. How to Build Followers?
You need to think a little deeper here to figure out a way to build an army of followers. Definitely not all of your friends in your personal account will follow you since they have different interests. You can start with your friends to filter those who like the information you are sharing to them. Next is to ask your followers to share the link of your Fan Page to their friends too.
3. How to Advertise for Free?
This is obvious isn't it? Through your existing pool of friends in your Personal account, you are already doing free advertising. The effect is viral when most of them will share your post. A little consideration has to take place in here, since you will be an annoyance to some of them. But take whatever you can and build your supporters for free.
4. How to do paid advertisement if needed?
If you have the financial resource to do this, go ahead with it. The good thing about this is that, you make yourself visible to the targeted audience worldwide. This is the beauty of paid advertisement in this case. You don't have to do a lot of work. You let the money do the work for you.
5. How to know if the traffic is coming in?
Tracking of traffic is in the number of "Likes" you have among your followers on your post. If you have a link for them to visit, the volume of traffic tracking is through your web hosting site. If not, you can use Google Analytics to do this by imbedding the tracking codes into your website's source codes.

The Basics of Website Creation (Part1)
When the popularity of the Internet exploded and later the Online Business, I can only dreamed of having my own website. This is because, in those days, creating a website and publish it online, technically belongs to the seasoned programmers who study many years about its related programming language.
However, these days, you certainly do not need to be an experience programmer in order to create and publish a website. How is this possible? Well, thanks to those programmers in putting all the hard work do the head-scratching and sleepless nights for us, through their creation of a website editor software.
Why I said that you do not need to be a programmer to create a website? Because I myself, do not know about programming, yet I created and published my own websites!
Creating and publishing a website online, is really not that difficult. You just need the following items below:
1. Domain Name
What is a domain name? Simply speaking, a domain name is “used as an Internet address to identify the location of particular Web pages“. This is synonymous to your email address. This is unique and only you has it for as long as you bought it. Domain names can be recycled though, once you will not renew your ownership of it. A lot of sources where you can purchase your domain name. But for me, I am buying my domain names from Namecheap.
2. Hosting Site
So what is a Hosting site? Basically, these are powerful computers that stores your website files and pages, so that you can readily access and your website visitors. Do you need to own one? Not necessarily, because a lot of companies are offering Hosting services these days. So, you might as well leave one headache to somebody and focus on how to create a website. Does that makes sense? Absolutely!
3. Website Editor
This is the creepy part for some people, including myself when I started. Like it or not, not everyone likes to explore or study every details on how to use a new software, specially if you are facing an inch-thick or even a thicker users‘ manual. But this is the part that you do not have a choice...if you want to build a website on your own. These days, there are lots of website creation software available in the Stores and online as well. For me, I prefer a website editors that are written by somebody who is in online business. Why is it so? It is because, they know most of the things we need in a software for online business. So which one to buy? This is entirely up to you and what features you would want for such a software.
4. Copy Writers
Do we need a copy writer to build my contents? Certainly, but not so soon! Unless of course, if you have a deeper pocket. Somehow though, I suggest for you to get one especially if you are dealing with a delicate product proposition in your online business along the way. But as a beginner, you may not need one. As the owner of the website, you are in the best position to decide on the contents that you want to populate your website with. Keep an eye for the use of a Copy Writer, but it is not a must when you are just starting to build your website.
5. Yourself
Never underestimate the will power within you. You are your greatest resource! You’ll make the decisions about your website. If you don’t take action, nothing will happen. This is not a problem though, if you have a lot of money ready at your disposal to have somebody do the job on your behalf. But not everyone is in this situation. So, you have find a way to motivate yourself in consistently doing the things that needed to be done. This motivation is needed for you to thrive in the real world of online business.
As you can see, creating a website and publish it online is not really that difficult. You just have to figure out what are your basic needs are, like the above list.
Creating your first website is a joy but coupled with a problem! Why? Because you need Traffic for it, lots of Traffic.
Traffic is the main commodity in online business, at least in my opinion. Without traffic to your website, there is relatively no possibility of getting into a business opportunity online. The same is true for other forms of businesses...you need customers, more customers.
If you are serious in making a success in your online venture and in whatever niche you are in. This is the part that I can be of help to you a little bit.
