SSM Registration by an Online Seller

Posted on by Trosworld

We have recently received a noteworthy article sent by one of our Sellers, Belman, regarding SSM registration experience for his online business. We thought it was interesting and we would like to share with the rest of Trosians.

Love or Hate this article? Comments are welcomed!

Lately online merchants, full or part timers alike, are facing a dilemma over whether or not to register their enterprise with SSM in the wake of SSM and MCMC prosecution against a handful of unregistered online sellers recently. There seems to be no clear guidelines to this issue as far as MCMC is concerned but the basic rule being enforced by SSM is that anyone who wishes to venture into business, in general, is required by law to register their business with SSM failing which; that person shall be viewed by law as conducting an illegal business in Malaysia. What this means is that it does not matter whether your business is online or offline you are still required by SSM to register your business enterprise, period.

As such, my advice to would-be online sellers as well as unregistered veteran sellers, big or small, is to get their venture listed with SSM to avoid unnecessary risk or worse getting prosecuted by the authorities for conducting illegal business.

Besides, with a legit business registration entrepreneurs should have no problem declaring their income with LHDN thus helping them buy properties or other assets in the future with no hassle at all.

I’m currently selling my products online and have chosen to register with SSM. Allow me to share my experience with you the process that I went through:-

I checked out SSM official website at www.ssm.gov.my but to my dismay failed to register online even though the feature was there. A few of my friends had the same experience when they tried.

Not to be beaten easily, I decided to visit SSM main office at The Mall in KL the next day. Well, it turned out that it was not as difficult as I had thought. First, get your form at the counter; of course don’t forget to queue first. Fill up about 7 to 9 pages of the forms given which among other things include your choice of company name, nature of business, official address et cetera. Once you are done with the filling up just proceed to submit the forms at the respective counter (don’t forget to queue again) pay the fees at the same time, take a seat and wait for your name to be called.

For those who would like to register as a sole proprietorship the registration fee is RM75 per annum. You may choose to pay 5 years fees in one go. You may also register using your own name as per your NRIC and the fee is a mere RM35 per year.

Well, to fast forward I had to wait for another 2 hours before I finally got my certificate but what a feeling it was. The whole process took me half a day to complete but not bad for Malaysian Boleh bureaucracy. Ooopsy! You guys may have better luck than me who knows.

Anyway, now I can proudly claim that I am a full fledge serious businessman, online, offline, whatever line and have requested my portal operator to consider putting up a “SSM registered” bling bling badge on my shop :-) . Two thumbs up for me. You are next guys.

HOW DO YOU PICK A GOOD eCOMMERCE FROM THE MILLIONS OFFERED OUT THERE?

Posted on by Trosworld

Hi there,

Do you know that the common issues, found by Researchers on eCommerce Web sites evaluation, are the issues of Quality?

They believe that quality in a Product or Service is NOT what the Provider or Seller put into it, but what the buyer/customer receives from it. Thus a Web site should try to satisfy customers’ needs in order to ensure repeat visits from them, and gain their loyalty.

Experts suggested 5 major categories that should be considered when designing a Web site for business;

-         Page loading

-         Business content

-         Navigation efficiency

-         Security and;

-         Marketing/customer focus

 

As the number of transactions through ecommerce is increasing, the design of Web sites becomes a critical factor. Forrester research estimates that poor eCommerce Web site design will result in the loss of 50 percent of potential repeat visits, due to an initial negative experience.

An eCommerce Web site can be considered successful if users are satisfied and revisit it. Satisfied users may spend more time at a Web site, may revisit the Web site later and may recommend the Web site to others.

Buyers transaction process consist of;

-         Need recognition (what I need to buy)

-         Gathering information (browsing)

-         Evaluating information and;

-         Making the purchase

Success Story on online business

Posted on by Trosworld

Lisa Gosling built an award-winning business around her own skills and interest.

Q & A

Q: What inspired you to start your business?

A: I am a qualified chef, so i decided to combine my two passion in life: dogs and food.

Q: What do you see as your main strengths when it comes to the business?

A: Passion and drive. You need bundles to keep you going, especially at busy times such as Christmas. Last year i baked for 36 hours without sleep!

Q: Did you originally intend the business to be your main occupation?

A: I’ve always worked in full-time employment, so it was a big decision to leave the security of a monthly pay cheque, but i took the plunge just over a year ago to concentrate on the deli. Best decision I ever made.

Q: What have been your main challenges?

A: Fitting everything in! There’s never enough time – I always need at least another five hours in the day.

Q: What advice would you give to someone considering starting up an online business?

A: Really research every aspect. It can mount up, all the different services you need – hosting, payment gateway and so on – and you’re sometimes tied into a year payments. Also, spend as much money as you can afford on photos. I ended up wasting money trying to do it on the cheap, and it’s such an important aspect of the websites; customers are drawn further in by the way the first page looks.Last but not least, before you “go live”, get as many different types of people as possible to try out the website to make sure it’s user-frinedly.

Take a look at your list of skills and interests. Which are you prepared to learn and which do you have no interest in?

Marketing 101

Posted on by Trosworld

Marketing your product is more important than getting your website right; arguably, more important than getting the product itself right. It’s essential that you set up an effective marketing campaign and keep working on it over time. It’s a lot of fun, mainly about common sense and testing.

What is marketing?

Well, it’s more than just advertising. For an internet based business, your focus is going to be mainly on direct marketing and specifically permission-based direct marketing.

At its most basic, marketing is the process by which you encourage the right customer to find and buy your products. In direct marketing, we this by interacting with individuals who will then, we hope, buy our product direct from us.

“Permission-Based” direct marketing is widely acknowledged as the most effective form of marketing for most internet business. This involves getting agreement from customers –and potential customers- to interact with them.

Attracting Traffic

The first aim is to attract the right visitors to your site. Get it right and you can find potential customers, either for free via ‘organic’ search listings or at the lowest possible cost via pay-per-click advertising.

 

 

 

 

Capture potential buyer

Once you have visitor arriving at your site, it’s essential that you convert the maximum number of them into buyers. Most of successful internet businesses seek to establish a relationship with their potential buyer rather than sell to them immediately. This usually involves a good customer service via live chat.

 

 

The Joy of SEO

The process of ensuring your site is as highly ranked as possible is known as search engine optimization, or SEO. The first thing to understand and accept is that there’s no way of guaranteeing the top spot for any high traffic keyword. First it will rank an older site higher. Second, is the incoming links (or back links) to your site and these take time to accumulate.

Ask other site/blogs to put your link on their site as back links and your ranking will go higher.

 

 

 

Pay Per Click Advertising

When most people think about internet marketing, they think about Google AdWords. While Adwords can’t build a relationship with a client or sell of a product directly, it can drive targeted traffic to your site at a price you set yourself. You only pay when a potential visitors clicks on the as and visit your site. Aside from that this mechanism makes it possible to track the effectiveness of your ad by measuring its click-thorugh rate (CTR).

 

 

 

Social Networking Tools

These days so much of online marketing has to do with social networking sites like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook (TrosKaki) and others. Social networking is a different type of marketing and it can really be effective most of the time. Just throw your information out there on a Facebook page or on Twitter to let others see.

On a social networking site the more social you are the more attention you’ll get and that’s a good thing. Also, the more social you are,  you’ll probably end up having more friends who can potentially see what your business is all about.

Don’t forget to also get involve with forums as a stepping stone to get more publicity.

Plan it, built it, and sell it! Be active in marketing and you have every chance of making a success of your online business.
