The Internet Entrepreneur Diary

First of all, I have to admit that I forgot to post my weekend confession last week. I don’t quite remember what I was busy for. I did spent time on the Internet promoting my online business. It turns out that my online stores have getting more traffic everyday. The shopping season is official started.

In the past week, I have been working extremely aggressively to increase the traffic to my online store. I know the economy is down, but I still believe that people are buying stuff online. According to my conversion with one of the Zappos staff, Zappos is still going strong this year. They must done something right to drive their business forward. You can read my blog post about that at Start Last - Finish First - Are you the next Zappos?

Now I have generated traffic to my stores, how do I turn that into cash? We all know that conversion rate is the key to make good profit and the key of the online business success. I want to turn the red light into a green light for my business.

I was reading some news about the success story of Zappos.com. - The number one online footwear store. If you don’t know anything about Zappos, You can read the following news on CNN. Shoe In - Zappos has become the No. 1 footwear retailer on the Web by making customer service a competitive weapon.

Personally, I am also a satisfied Zappos customer, but I am not here to promote Zappos. I was amazed by how a start-up company growing so fast in so little time. I don’t want to repeat their success story here. What I really like to do is to think how the rest of us can learn from Zappos.

While reading the news, I decided to follow Zappos CEO Tony on Twitter.

This is a photo of my house before re-paint.

In the past few days while my wife is away to Hong Kong. I decided to pick up the phone and call the painters. My wife and I have thought about to re-paint our 10 years old house for almost a year. We are unable to decide the colors for our house. My lazy ass told me that I should have my wife to make decision on the colors, so she won’t have excuses to complaints.

So I am the man now. We are not the first few houses in my community to re-paint the house. However, we are the last few houses to re-paint the house. I decide to give it my best shot and pick the colors that we both like. At the end, it turns out very good. You can see the following photo for my newly painted house. Now, we can live with that nice color for another 10 years before be the man again. The funny things are that my house has the darkest based color, which turns out very good. It looks like the newest house in the whole community. The other house using lighter base color looks old and faded out. I bet my wife will love the new colors.

This is another weekend confession since last one about “Weekend Confession 6 - Life is short! Just move on!”

First of all, I am fine and nothing to worry about. I would like to thank those who left comments to encourage me move forward. I finally got in touch with my friend in China. He is fine. His is a friend that I have never met in my life. We were just a friend on StumbleUpOn, but I do pray for everyone that I know in my life. I wish everyone well.

Personally, I am a very positive personality, but I am also negative in many ways. I don’t have a lot of patient to wait for things to happen or to be done. So I often do things that I think I can do better than others do. It often comes back and kills my positive mood. Learning how to let people do what they should do and lead them to the direction that I want them to get job done.

Never a better time to be a better self-motivated entrepreneur!

It’s been a while since my last Weekend Confession. A lot of things just seem to come together. There is no doubt that life is very short. For those people who are still alive like me, we will move on in our life.

In the past few weeks, I was very busy. To be honest, I don’t really know what I was busy for. A lot of things happened in the past few weeks. I have done a lot of things in the past few weeks. None of them were making my life easier.
