Why do online customers not buy from your Shopping Cart? (Part 1)
Over the past few months I have read a number of surveys that have been completed to try and get answers to this critical challenge for all ecommerce website owners. After reading the surveys I thought I would try to summarize the results for you and then try to provide some answers as to how you can minimize this problem of “shopping cart dropouts” and at the same time improve conversions.

Protecting Your Business Assets
Risky Business – Safeguarding Assets
Many small business owners have pledged some part of their personal assets in order to secure a loan for their business.

How Important Is Website Hosting in Ecommerce?
According to Wikipedia; “Website hosting is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible to others via the World Wide Web. This is done by companies providing space on a server (large computer) for a fee where all the pages and files that make up a website reside.
As with all websites, but especially in the world of ecommerce, one of the most important factors to be considered is which company will host your website. If the company hosting your website has problems with their servers (the place where your ecommerce site resides) it can result in your website being unavailable to visitors and customers and that potentially costs you money every minute your website is down. If their servers are very slow which causes your website to operate slowly then potential customers may just leave your site out of frustration. Saving money and cutting corners on your website hosting after investing money in good design and marketing may not be the most intelligent use of your funds.

Who’s taking care of your Business while you’re taking care of Yourself?
Fortunately we recover, but the business may not, UNLESS. the business owner had a critical illness insurance policy to protect the business, their personal lifestyle and recovery costs. For the business owner, this can be especially difficult because the business that pays everyday living expenses may be at risk if the owner couldn’t work. Critical Illness insurance helps finance solutions, tax-free, that ensure the business can continue without the owner during the recovery.
As a Business Owner, Are you Empowering Yourself?
As a business owner, there are so many demands on our time….staff, clients, marketing, office admin, accounting….the lists are endless. We’ve all read from numerous sources how fundamental it is to work on our business, instead of in our business. But the often missed topic and question is when do we work on ourselves?
