“Guru’s Guru” Rich Schefren at one of his seminars

So I listened to a webminar by Russell Brunson and Rich Schefren the other day about ways to monetize an online business. While some may not apply to ecommerce, I jotted down those that do, and I’ll post it here to share.

MyPopcornMachine.com’s new look!

Hey, just to let you guys know that we have done a redesign for our MyPopcornMachine.com website. We have added several funcationalities to it to improve your shopping experience.

Check it out and give us some feedback!

I’m glad to announce here that Guillen Global has sold one of our ecommerce site WholesaleCollegeTextbooks.com to the former CIO of Lehman Brothers Asia and Barclays Capital Americas Nick Themelis. This is to consolidate our ecommerce portfolio, and we’ll thereafter focus more on our concession equipment and pet supplies business.

Here is the official press release

To our customers, thanks for your continual support this couple years, we had a great run and hope you guys enjoy the site under the new management!

Check out this video by Google on Youtube to find out this new browser by Google.

You can download it at www.google.com/chrome

Couple noticeable differences between Chrome and other browsers:
- Integration of the search box with the address bar
- Ability to drag and drop tabs (amazing)
- Automatic detection of in site search engine
- Seperation of browser application with desktop application, so one’s crash would not affect the other

I’ve downloaded it and started using it, it is, as advertised, very fast and stable. The only setback I have so far is that it doesn’t work with Roboform (which I cannot live without) yet.

Anyway, go download it and check it out for yourself.

New year is a great time for busy entrepreneurs like us to really sit down, think about what we did this past year with our business, set goals for the new year, and create a roadmap to get there.

In 2008, our company main objective is to create a better customer experience, by adding a full time phone support staff and toll-free support no. on all our websites.
