After wrestling with the marketing companies, I have decided to go with low cost or zero cost DIY Internet marketing strategies on my own. Regardless what you are doing on your sites, you need to have marketing strategies. I will be recording everything I have learned on my entrepreneur journey diary. I am hoping to help other entrepreneurs learning what I have learned and to avoid making the same mistakes that I have made.

Again, I am not marketing expert. I would love to get real suggestions from real marketing experts. Let me start from scratch and find the brutal facts.

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.

Profashion Jewelry is proud to announce few of the very fine design and high quality yellow CZ silver pendants on their blog at Fashion Jewelry Blog.

Ever since I started the new fashion jewelry online store. I have became a fashion jewelry lover as always. It’s too bad that I can’t wear fashion jewelry as a mature man. All of the fashion jewelry were hand picked by me, while I was traveling in China looking for my treasure to sell online.

I have picked those wonderful yellow CZ pendants for the Valentine’s Day gift choice. It’s Valentine’s Day, you can get the fine fashion jewelry while they are still available for purchase. It’s worth to mention that the size of those fashion jewelry silver pendant are larger than you will expect.

Do you have a winning team of your business? Do you cooperate with your team members? Personally, there is no fair competition in the e-commerce world. Forget about the fail game. There is no such thing. In the e-commerce world, it’s up to the stronger team and smarter team to find the ways to win the business game. Just go for it. The bottom line is not to steal or damage other competition’s business. Work on your and be smarter.

Regardless your physical strength and your IQ, you have to work like a team and win the so-called “Un-Fair” game in the e-commerce world. Do NOT let “It’s not fair” become your excuse of failure.
