Business and I : Part 2 – Early Cyber Ventures

Beginning of the year 2004, the so call online business started to boom like mushrooms in Malaysia. Business involving e-books, prepaid, clicking and watching advertisement and MLM flooding Malaysia’s world of cyber like hell. During that time, email  was the main media in spreading this kind of information. From small to big amount of investment had been made by people of Malaysia in order to join this great hype, and that does not exclude me.

I had tried so many programs available in the Internet and all was up to the free version only(reading email, watching ads,etc). Non was a success. Later, I decided to try a paid version. The first paid program I’d join was a MLM base ebooks selling program. It was about RM40 in order to join the program. We will be given  our own website in order to promote our e-books. I’d tried so hard to promote my first venture, from classified, email, forums and even flyers(did not materialize). I had manage to get quite a number of downlines, but the not so easy part is to ask them to join as a paid members. Before I manage to make anybody a paid member, the website of this program suddenly disappeared and history. Below is one example of the ads that I used to post which I manage to dig back from the internet

Talking about own website, I remember starting my first website using Geocities free service during my Universty days(2000). My first website was called cerihik.com which a portal for people to submit thier stories to be publish on the Internet. I would say it maybe among the first of its kind in malaysia at that time but unfortunately I did not take it seriously and I stop maintaining the website after about a year in operation.(can believe ka this…up to you).below is a snapshot of my Intro page

From the power of Internet you can view my first website here.

After so many failures, I was then introduced to a forum which full of information on online busines, Digital Point Forum. Here is the place i learn a lot about Internet, website, ecommerce, Graphic design, ebay, paypal,etc. Here is the point were I start to get involved in a real online business. Will be contine……….
