Putting up an online business?

Putting up a business online is fast and easy these days. Decide on what business you want. Ask friends for help. Or check online what are the latest trends in online businesses. Recently, I’ve seen a surge in fashion-related online businesses. You can put up one as well. But how do you make it stand out from the competition? That is one goal you must achieve for success. Anyway, you need to get your own domain. Make it funky and easy to recall. And relevant to the business. Or you can set up a multiply account. A lot of women have been doing this, I’ve noticed. And, of course, drive traffic to your site by promoting it.

One way of setting your business apart from others is by making it as user-friendly as possible. Don’ you just get turned off by sites wherein it is so hard to navigate? Make sure you have a shopping cart so as to make it easy for online customers to purchase items. There is a shopping cart software available for online businesses. AShop.com.au has one for you. Check it out, this might be your edge on the competition.

So all set?

Who is…

This post is for all those bloggers like me who have their own domain and are oblivious to the fact that their personal information are plastered in the world wide web.

Yesterday, I was asking kuya/Br. Vince about this website wherein you can see information about the domain and its owner. It is called WHOIS, but we both lost the link to it and I am so lazy to google it, I just discarded the idea.

Then, I chance upon this website Smart PageRank SEO Tools that has a WHOIS in the list. Yey! I immediately checked Sasha-says and was annoyed to see my personal information I entered when I registered this domain. It was in my mind to check this one before but always forgets about it. I immediately contacted BigSkyMedia to ask if there is a way to remove/hide my personal information. And good thing it was acted on immediately. Kunsabagay mabait kasi ang BigSkyMedia talaga. Isang text or email lang okay na.

So check your cpanels, Ferdz of BigSkyMedia told me you can change to ‘private’ these information, so as to hide it even when others check WHOIS. Mine was changed to private and I checked this morning, it was tagged as such already.

There are people out there with nothing else to do but play pranks on other people. Saka your full name, address and telephone numbers (landline and cellphone) are listed there. You don’t want that in the hands of psychos right?

Richest man in the world

How can one be this rich??

Microsoft founder Bill Gates looks to have lost his title as the world’s richest man, toppled from top spot by the Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim.

Three months ago the cigar-chomping Mr Slim quietly slipped past legendary US investor Warren Buffett to take second place in the global wealth league.

Now, thanks to a surge in the shares of his America Movil group, Mr Slim has claimed pole position, according to the Mexican online financial publication, Sentido Común.

…following a surge in America Movil’s shares over the second quarter.

This is estimated to have boosted his fortune to an estimated $67.8bn (£33.6bn) - equivalent to 8% of Mexico’s gross domestic product - compared with $59.2bn for the Microsoft mogul, putting him in the lead by a decisive $8.6bn.

I bet George Lindemann Jr would like to know how Mr Slim became that rich as well.

I’d be happy to get even a tenth of his fortune

And the blogging continues…

I have been contemplating getting my own domain for the past few weeks now. But due to budget constraints, it took me sometime to be able to finally get one.

I paid for this domain last May 10th. Due to too much kaartehan on my part, I found a theme I like after days of searching and testing. And then I changed it again! Hahaha. Oh well, you know me. I will still be blogging at akoni from time to time. I cannot leave it so easily. I love that blog so much I almost have gotten a .info domain. Plus, I have more than enough paid posts that’s needed to be done and it’ll all be posted there.

By the way, you might be asking why “Sasha says…”? I’ve been talking about my life and everything related to it online for the past 3 years now. So when I was thinking of a domain name, I thought I should get something related to my personality. And talking to people, strangers included, is something inherent in me. Something I cannot change. Thus, the domain name

I’ve merged both my blogspot and akoni posts here so when you dig into my archives, you’d find posts from both sites.

I’ve added a “What’s Hot on the Web?” page for updates on what’s the latest craze going on in the web. This is for my blogger friends and visitors who are lazy to search for these news. This will mostly be about problogging, improving site ranks, and the like.
