Saya dah bayar, mana barangnya?

Ni antara masalah pembeli yang membeli barangan secara online. Mungkin anda pernah menghapinya. Lepas berminat dengan satu produk, anda terus membuat bayaran ke akaun bank yang dipaparkan. Kemudian anda pun menghantar e-mail seperti yang tertera di laman web memberitahu bayaran telah dibuat dan produk apa yang anda ingin beli.

Tunggu punya tunggu, lepas sehari ke sehari, anda masih belum menerima apa-apa berita dari si penjual. Nak telefon, nombor pula tak ada dipaparkan. Semakin hari anda semakin gelisah. Duit dah dibayar, tapi mana barangnya?

Inilah yang akan pembeli anda rasakan. Mereka telah mempercayai anda sebelum anda mempercayai mereka. Jadi jangan buat mereka tertunggu-tunggu dan paling teruk hilang kepercayaan kepada anda. Yang sedihnya bila sekali mereka terkena, mereka akan menganggap semua usahawan internet ni sama saja.

Apa yang perlu anda buat untuk mengelakkan dari masalah ini berlaku dan menjadikan anda usahawan internet yang lebih bertanggungjawab ialah..

1. Berikan maklumat perhubungan yang lengkap di internet terutama nombor telefon.

2. Jika anda hanya memberikan e-mail, nyatakan dengan jelas dalam masa berapa jam atau hari anda akan membalas e-mail pelanggan anda. Contohnya, e-mail anda akan dibalas dalam tempoh 24 jam hari bekerja.

3. Nyatakan apa yang sepatutnya mereka expect. Berapa lama sebelum anda membalas atau berapa lama produk akan diterima oleh pelanggan. Contohnya, pesanan akan dihantar pada setiap hari Selasa dan Khamis, jika anda membuat pesanan pada hari penghantaran, ia akan dihantar pada hari penghantaran berikutnya.

4. E-mail pelanggan sebaik saja mereka membayar dan nyatakan yang bayaran mereka telah diterima dan pesanan mereka akan diproses. Nyatakan juga anda akan e-mail lagi sebaik saja produk tersebut dihantar.

Dengan cara ini pelanggan anda tak tertanya-tanya dan terasa diri mereka ditipu. Anda perlu ingat pelanggan ini mungkin akan menjadi pelanggan tetap anda dan jika dia gembira, dia akan dengan sukarela mengsyorkan anda dan produk anda kepada rakan-rakan mereka.

Selamat berniaga..

Kerja-kerja baik pulih sedang dijalankan..

Baru je settle remove blog lama, install blog baru, masukkan posting lama dan membetulkan configuration asas wordpress ni. So lepas ni adalah kerja-kerja lain kena buat macam cari theme baru, masukkan plugin baru dan sebagainya.

Entah macam mana blog lama dulu tak boleh upgrade to latest wordpress. Jadi buatlah research macam mana cara termudah. Ingat nak transfer data dari database ke database tapi tengok-tengok structure database pun dah lain.

So gunalah satu plug-in namanya wp xml migrate yang boleh export semua posting dan comments jadi xml (wp xsr file) dan import dari blog wordpress version baru.

Lepas ni boleh lah aktif berblog dan kemungkinan besar semua posting dalam ni akan diubah ke BM dan posting BI akan dimasukkan dalam blog lain (untuk global market) kerana kebanyakan yang baca blog ni orang Melayu Malaysia.

Selamat berpuasa, bersahur, bertarawih, beribadah di bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ni..

Make more money with exchange rate

No, I’m not going to talk about how to make money with forex here 🙂 I just did some projection for my adsense earning income for this month. How do I project my income? It’s simple actually.

What you need to do ..
– Login to your adsense account (of course)
– Click Reports > Advanced Reports
– Choose data range – choose “this month – September”
– Click “Display report” button

In the report list, you can see daily average of your earning. To get some ideas what your income would be, just multiply the number with 30. And you get your earning figure for that month.
The interesting part is the conversion rate for MYR currency against USD is now 3.45. This means that you can get more with the same USD you get from Adsense.

Here is the graph showing the movement of MYR agains USD.

Check it out yourself here

Still remember those days when our exchange rate is MYR3.80 for USD1. When you received USD100 you actually got RM380. Same if you got RM1000, you actually got RM3800!

Welcome to the world!

I still remember my posting when getting my 2nd child past 2 years and now I’m writing the same post title again for my 3rd one! Alhamdulillah. This time I’m blessed with a baby girl born on 8/8/08 at 10.35pm. Now I have no reason not to remember her birth date 🙂

Yes, it’s right, ymail.com

I thought it was a mistake when somebody left me a message with an email ending with @ymail.com. Then I typed the URL and it went to yahoo mail website. I then sign out my yahoo mail login to ensure it was not a phishing site.

This screen confirms that ymail exists and one of email address offered by yahoo mail besides rocketmail.com and yahoo.com.

ymail2
I’ve not been using yahoo.com after I used gmail. I just logged on to my yahoo mail twice a week to check if there are messages sent by my old friends. That’s it.

I can see that gmail is leading in providing lots of new features while the rest are following gmail steps.

The best things I love about gmail are

it keeps same messages with same subject as one so that I can easily track previous old messages
the search function is superb
I can use my handphone to check gmail with google mobile
It’s fast to delete, star (flag) message and archive because it use AJAX
I can consolidate all my email to one account by using forwarding option and account setting to change my “from” email
I love the webclip feature appear on top of the email to get latest news from my subscribed rss feed

webclip What about you? What email are you using and why are you using it?
(besides because of your company email because you have to use it)

What personal finance is all about

There are lots of books outside there talking about personal finance and car loans. I’ve read several books already regarding these matter. I can conclude that what you need to know in managing your money are

How to save money by paying yourself first. Very important because most of the budget you do just don’t work
How to manage your credit card. The best way is don’t use any. If you say it is for emergency, use debit card instead. Credit card is the fastest way for you to go into financial disaster. Do not fall prey to financial cybercrimes. Industrial cyber crimes and military data security are not the only cyber issues. Crimes such as stealing payment card information and gaining access to accounts happen often. The only solution to this problem is to establish a purdue enterprise reference architecture in the server, as it has multiple levels of security which is not easy to break through and steal the data.
How to pay your car fast. Car is huge liability. With all of its maintenance, installment, petrol, parking fee, summons etc etc. The value drop a lot every year after you purchased your car. So go for a second hand car where possible and you can save up to 50%. That’s a lot!
How to pay your home financing fast. The financing usually is calculated based on monthly rest. You must pay to reduce balance whenever you have the money – get bonus, increment, side job etc. You can reduce 5-15 years of the financing tenure easily if you do it correctly
How to make more money. It is not how much you get but how much you can keep. If you don’t know how to save money, forget about making more money because you will end up not having enough money. So make sure you master the saving money skill first before thinking of how you can make more money.

So that’s all what you need to know and master. In most of the personal finance books, they are talking about the same matters but in different ways. No harm if you read a lot of them because the authors explain will affect the way you behave towards your financial.

Be debt free and achieve financial freedom as soon as you can. All the best!

How to place a contact form on your website?

I always being asked on how to create a contact form for website where visitor can write message on an online form and the data then be sent to the website owner’s email.
Long time ago I used free service from freedback.com when I remembered during that time it was very hard to learn CGI using Perl language (before PHP became popular).
I got to know this new contact form service called kontactr from my friend’s website but still I never tried the service because I myself can write a PHP program for it. Maybe you can have a try if you are planning to have a contact form on your website.

Aweber with new price structure?

I used aweber for my email marketing for quite some time now. I paid the subscription fee every 3 months (quarterly) deducted automatically from my credit card.

But recently I checked aweber website and found that the price has been restructured. Previously they charged about USD19/mo for first 10,000 subscribers just bit higher compared to getresponse.

But now the price is USD19/mo just for 500 subscriber!

Maybe I missed some important announcement from them with the justification of the new price introduced. I’ve sent an email to the support asking if the existing member would be charged following the new price structure or retain the same old price.

So after this maybe I need to subscribe for getresponse and do some review to promote it instead of aweber that I’ve been promoting for so long.
