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.

Few days ago, I was walking on the street after meeting with fashion jewelry manufacture and fashion jewelry wholesaler. I saw a small Chinese carrot cake vendor at the corner of a small alley. I saw a long waiting line. Many people are waiting in line to get so-called “the best carrot cake in town”. I was unable to stay longer enough to get mine. The line was about half mile long. There are at least 400 people waiting in line. So I picked few people and asked them why they like it and how much they like it.

I was NOT surprised by the answers. My questions were “Why are you waiting in line? Are these cakes so good?”

In the blog world, “Make Money Online” is probably the biggest motivation to all of us, who wants to start blogging. Many bloggers have tried. Many of them succeeded and many of them have failed. Many bloggers, who have failed the game start calling those success one evil. That’s right. People who make good money become an evil person. John Chow is evil. Is he?

The question has been asked so many times. Can you clone the success story? I will re-phrase the question. Can you clone the success story and make your own legend?

Would you smile all the way to New Year like the Christmas girls, if you find out you just lost 2/3 revenue in your ultimate sexy online store? I don’t think I will smile tonight, but I am sure will smile again when this problem is fixed.

For those who knows my sexy business for all sexy ladies, I have just lost 2/3 revenue in two days. That’s really bad news. Look at the bright side, I found the problem before it gets worst. I have tried many ways to get my sexy shoes and sexy lingerie store on the Google front page for months. I did it very well. I was able to search “Sexy Shoes” and find my site on #1 Google search engine result page #5 spot. It has been this way for months. It has brought in a lot of business due to the “Sexy shoes” and relevant keywords. Now. I have just lost 2/3 of my business because that my site was no longer on the first page at all. It’s not even on the first 10 pages.

What went wrong?

I have been thinking about the best ways to get my name out. As a blogger and Internet Entrepreneur, it’s important to build up your own branding. Many big bloggers are well known by all of us. They have built their own branding pretty well. Many of them recommend joining social network like MySpace.com and Facebook.com. Regardless what you are doing, you will always need to market yourself in some ways.

It’s never too late to start your own branding. I am not trying to be a big name blogger out there. I want to be recognized as a success role model in the e-business world. As I stated in my about page, I want to show people that it’s easy to be a success entrepreneur, if you have the guts to do so. I want people to recognize me as Terence Chang.

So I decided to go back on MySpace.com.
