Having trouble making your dream come true? Well, I did. I had a
vision of being the richest CEO in the country. And well, I am
far from it. It all started last April when I saw this
infomercial called SMC (Specialty Merchandising Corporation) and
what they do is if you sign up for their service, you have
access to their inventory. Their products, from a member?s
standpoint, are a much lower cost for them while you can gain
profit from selling them at THEIR retail price. Their retail
price is ridiculous and shameful. I know, for a fact, no one
will buy those products at those prices. It was pretty sad for
me to waste my money for their service, but what can I do?
(Notice: I had this service for over 30 days so no refund for
me). You know what I did? I took all of my catalogs from SMC,
put it in my desk drawer, and never looked at it again. However,
a year later I had a vision; a vision to be an entrepreneur.
That?s everyone?s dream, right? I was searching around the net
on yahoo and found out that yahoo has their own small business
program that enables us to make our dream come true. You just
download their program called Yahoo Site builder 2.2 and you can
make your own website with no experience at all. Nevertheless, I
got my catalogs from SMC and started to accumulate how I would
start this website. So, I had one question in mind, ?How can I
attract customers?? The first thing that came into mind was the
name of my website. It took me awhile, but I figured it out. So
I figured out the name ?Kinglot,? which originally came from
Biglots. I wanted my business name related to a big retailer?s
store; same as Wal-Mart got its name from Kmart. It took me two
months to finish my website because I did it the long way. I had
no HTML, PHP, and CGI experience. Also, I did not want a
webmaster to do my website. However, my problem wasn?t that. My
biggest problem was pricing, so I lowered my prices. From $39.99
and up, it?s 50 percent off. From $19.95 to $34.95, it?s 40
percent off. From $17.95 and down, it?s 30 percent off. You see,
my mission is to provide my customers with the best quality
products at an affordable price. This was my mission in the
first place and hopefully my business will flourish. So, I hope
your dream will come.
