Business and I Part 3: E-commerce

Hi all, quite a long time since I posted  about the 2nd part. So How is everybody? Its 2011 already and its coming to 2nd quarter of 2011. So where did I stop last time, digital point……online business…….bal bal bal………ok for this part 3 of this entry I would like to tell you guys about my first fully functioning online shop and guess what I’m selling? Tudung….yes its tudung bawal to be specific. Why? Girl buying power…

After some searching works , readings and discussions I decide to name my online shop www.tudung-bawal.com (this is not my first domain). It is very straight forward, everybody will instantly what is my business all about when looking at the name of my website(this is part of the many tips you can find in the internet). For this e-commerce website I have decided to use OScommerce

To make things more interesting, starting from designing, coding, testing and promoting was done by myself(actually no budget to hire people).  So from this activity I learn alot about PHP coding, photoshop, SEO and so on. Every tips and tutorials I followed from the internet in order to materialized my first online shop.

Alhamdullilah, everything when well and I launched my website. From time to time, my website started to gain its own popularity, my website has got no.1 ranking in google for the keyword “tudung bawal”. My sales increase locally and even internationally(UK, US, Australia). During the operation, anything regarding the backends will be hendle by me and anything related to frontend will be cover by wife.

One thing that is not so good about my business is its seasonal. My online shop has manage to stand for a few years, until tudung bawal is not a trend anymore and the arrival of the blogging era.
