Waiting for SiteSell's approval


I've not been blogging for the past week or so because I'm waiting for a reply from SiteSell Inc. with regards to this blog.

As a courtesy, I wrote to them last Friday seeking approval/clarification on the use of "SiteSell" as the name of this domain (or rather "canonical" name of blogspot), and that does not infringe upon any copyright/trademark of SiteSell.

I was informed by one of their Support Team that she had passed my message to their legal department. And she added that one of their associates will be in touch with me within the following 48-72 hours (well, it's more than that now..., and I'm feeling just a bit apprehensive).
Anyway, better be safe than sorry. Even if it meant discontinuing this blog.

But, it is an ethical part of the business which I subscribe to.

Hence, I'll be back later.

Anyway, the long Easter weekend will keep me busy for the next few days I suppose..., busy with the kids and their Easter bunnies?

How to join the 1% who SELLS!


I am sure most of us are quite with familiar with the statistics which disclosed that 9 out of 10 small businesses failed in the first 5 years of operation. And the one that made it, 9 out of 10 of them failed in the next 10 years. As such, 99% of small businesses closed down in the first 10 years of operation.

A similar statistics seem to hold true for Internet-based businesses (after all, a business is a business whether it is physical or "virtual"). But another similarly striking statistics revealed that 99% of all web business do not sell? More specifically, they do not sell enough to make a profit.

Why do you think they failed?

First of all, they started with the wrong mindset.

Secondly, they can't grasp the C->T->P->M Process, or in most cases, they don't want to understand as they wanted only the short-cut way (i.e., G->R->Q). They just want to get rich quick.

And thirdly, they could not master or nail the Big 3.

With the right mindset and subscribing to the right process of building an ebusiness, you are closer to joining the 1% who SELLS!

Master the Big 3 of great product/service, Site-Selling, and Traffic-Building, and there is just no way you can fail.
