7 OCTOBER 2010My participation in 1nita started about 5 months ago, right after I quitted my job. The scenario was like seperti orang mengantuk di sorongkan bantal. I got my www.littlesyam.my for free. For a new business to have our own ULR address and for FREE is an ideal situation. I need to be seen as profesional. I used wordpress as a platform, I wish I could make something better but I got to satisfied with whatever I had for the time being. The function of www.littlesyam.my is to introduce services or products I offering and they could contact me should they interested to use my services or purchasing my products. dot(.)mydomainregistry has arranged a workshop to guide a participant in basic IT knowledge. Furthermore 1nita community could also advertise in http://www.1nita.my website. It is like a virtual shop. What I can say is 1nita initiative has became one of my marketing tool.
On 8 october 2010 dot(.)mydomainregistry has invited 1nita community/participant to a networking session vs raya gathering in Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur. I felt honoured to be invited on stage to share experiences and at the same time promoting my business...To a certain extend I am not so sure what I mumbling about...I have problem of performance anxiety....stage fright but as usual..show must go on:) Lina, Safinaz and Kak Long was there to give a moral support...
