Online Business & E-commerce

Online business and E-commerce is kinda different from an actual business, and I will explain it from my own point of view here.
Anyway, I feel happy and excited to see this topic because I find this an opportunity for free advertisement!



Please visit http://www.blackdollhouse.blogspot.com/ and give me some support people!




An image on how the blogshop looks like:


Rules & Regulations:
It's good write down what you prefer/expect from the transactions/deals so the customers can try to accommodate to your needs and preference.
This can also minimize misunderstandings.




Feedbacks/Comments:
It's also good to get some feedbacks on your services, so you'll know what you need to improve on, and what you need to maintain.
Customers can click on this column and leave a feedback easily!




Traffic Flow:
I think its essential to keep track of the traffic flow on the blogshop so that we can work on how to improve the marketing and advertising of the shop.




Details of items:
Images are definitely needed, duh!
I tend to give the 3 different views, front, side and back, as well as a close up if there is minute details on the item.
Item numbers, e.g. Item #16 in this case will be given, and I also name the items in case there is a mix up in the item numbers.
Colors avaialble will be stated, e.g. (State Peach/Black/White/Pink/Blue)
Status of the item must be included so customers will know if the item is still available!








Last but not least, include your contact so the customers can get back to you!
I am kiasu so I included my contact not once but twice!







That's all for the work on the blog, but thats not all for the work elsewhere!
I still do advertising on facebook by creating a group page and send message to members whenever there is a new collection launched.




Oh,
I forgot to mention about the photo taking part!
Sometimes I'll ask my friend who has a home-based studio at her place, to help me with the photo-taking, or I will head down to external studios and rent their place at SGD 40-50 per hour!



Okay,
got to run!
Please please support my blogshop at http://www.blackdollhouse.blogspot.com/!

RSS.

Omg, I cannot believe that the founder(s) of RSS actually named RSS as “Really Simple Syndication”! It’s pretty funny I must say! I just checked my personal blog and even though I’ve been blogging since 2006, and that the RSS orange logo is familiar, I never knew that what made blogging that simple was actually RSS feed format!


Okay, to end this entry I will show a video from Youtube that is very popular (I bet) with students taking COM 125 and everyone else who is keen to learn more about RSS! Here you go!

Web 1.0 vs 2.0

Web 1.0 consists of mostly read-only web whereas Web 2.0 is the wildly read-write web. Web 1.0 has 1-way communication from publisher to reader, and Web 2.0 has 2-way communication from publisher to reader, and feedback from reader to publisher, and that everyone can actually be a publisher!



From Web 1.0- Web 3.0 (Semantic Web):


This image shows the various ways communcation flows.



Examples of the various types of Web:



We can definitely find familiar logos in this image. Try to name some you find familiar! (:



They say, a picture paints a thousand words,
i totally agree!
I hope the images helped to increase your understanding of Web1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.
