February - The Shortest Month, A Quiet Month

There are only 28 days in February. Out of these 28 days, three are Sundays, first Saturday off, one day to celebrate Thaipusam (and also Federal Territory Day) and two for Chinese New Year.

And that leaves how many working days? 17 full working days and 3 Saturdays.

With most Malaysians surfing the internet on work days DURING office hours, 17 working days don't leave that much time for internet surfing.

Therefore, it is already expected that all who are earning money online, either by trading or ad selling, will see a drastic drop in revenue. It is the same yearly. For many e-traders, February is the month to go on holiday. Well, why not, we work the whole year round since the internet is a 24-hour work day.

Not only are there less buyers, there are more fake buyers as well during the holidays. What to do?
