Overture or now known as Yahoo because of Yahoo’s takeover, was the original inventor of the use of the P4P or Pay for Performance.

Its amazing really when you realise that the longer you hang out online, the more you realize how small the internet community is. Sure there are millions of people online, but there are tight communities people hang in. I do run into people I know in different forums all the time, even those looking for probate advance. It is not the first time too as it happens all the time, which is actually a good thing. That is the part of doing business online. By building relationships online, you also build personal relationships with some. You share personal experiences. You help each other through good and bad times. If you have not already done so, find a good forum to hang around. There are some bad ones, but if you look, you’ll find the good ones. Just start hanging around.

I recently applied and received my Maybank VISA debit card at the Maybank Kajang branch. Application was fast and despite the large number of people applying for it, I received the card within one hour. It should be noted that according to the bank, the card is not yet ready for internet transactions and this was confirmed when I tried to add the card to my PayPal account but was rejected. Despite this, the bank told me that they expect to roll out this feature “soon” and some reports say that it could be as early as June 2008.

Regardless, I do suggest that those of you who want a VISA debit card to apply early for the card to avoid the “rush” in getting the card. The card can still be used at retail outlets which support the VISA feature, I used it to buy a new monitor holder with my Maybank VISA debit card! Always useful to have another debit card handy anyway….

The more people who see your products the more people there would be to buy them. Nobody puts up an e-commerce site that does not earn any profit. We have a startup capital that needs to be regained.

The internet has made the world a smaller place; you can advertise a product from the depths of Istanbul and still find a buyer from the center of Philadelphia.

Internet companies have also started their blogs to inform consumers on the latest product news and reviews ranging from various topics such as sports, health or even nursing home information.
