Write 7 Blog Posts For 7 Days In Just 4 hours A Week.
2007-08-16 21:36:00
Hi All, On many occasions, we will always face this problem. When we first started blogging, we will try to blog everyday, some even 3 times a day. But as time goes by, especially when you do not see any results, we will feel depress and soon, you find yourselves blogging less and from 1 post a day, it becomes 1 post in 3 days, and eventually, you just do not feel like blogging at all. I had just experience this problem. Even though I was busy with a number of niche projects, as a group or individual project, I gave myself the excuse that I do not have time to write. But when I look back, I still had time to catch tv programmes, read a few comic books, and going out with friends. So how can I be busy if I have time for my social life as well. It was all boiled down to commitment. I was thinking how I could solve my personal crisis and I remember Andrew Tan of www.oasisofinspiration.com recommended the book, the 4 hour work week. And a lightbulb virtually hit into my head! ...

Good Websites To Learn And Get Inspired!
2007-08-15 18:17:00
I was surfing through the web and I found some high ranking and highly inspirational websites. Good Website First up is the 5staraffiliateprograms that I was reading. It contains alot of advise on the different affiliate programs that I did not know. I supposed all the programs that are recommended are all 5 stars. Internet Reality Show: The Next Internet Millionaire Next up is the cool up coming show on August 15th, 2007. It is the next internet millionaire show. The short trailer seems pretty cool, and maybe we can learn some techniques of how they go about running their business. It should be interesting to see a millionaire in the making as well as pick up some free tips. Joel Comm, the internet guru who is an adsense expert, wrote the best selling amazon and new york times best seller, The Adsense Code, is the host and executive producer of the show. Check out next internet millionaire. INSPIRATIONAL: And the third blog is really inspirational for me. Why? Because this g...

Found A Good Post About Singapore’s Poverty From www.OasisOfInspirati
2007-08-14 11:59:00
Just want to say what a good post by Andrew Tan from www.oasisofinspiration.com. Made me think a lot about the society in Singapore . To Andrew Tan, I was thinking of leaving a comment on your blog but as I wrote, it became longer and now it suddenly become long enough for a blog post. So I figure, why not treat it like a tag and continue this discussion on my blog too. Hopefully I will not offend anyone in this post. I have a slight belief in the way Singaporeans view their government and how I view the singapore government (since I am a malaysian living in Singapore). Poverty is happening around the world and not just Singapore. Just look at Bill Gates for example, he will be donating almost 80% of his wealth to charity foundations, or hong kong’s Richard Li donating their money to help fight poverty but we are not seeing much better results around the world. There seem to be too much poverty and not enough man power to put a stop to it. I once had this strange theory b...

Launch Of My New Apple Iphone For Christmas Blog
2007-08-13 21:19:00
Hi everyone, It has been a while since I have updated my blogs. Gone were the days that I could keep blogging about trying to make money online. I was always feeling uncomfortable when I first started writing blogs about my journey to make money online. The more I wrote, the more frustrated I become as I still do not really know how to get money coming in. And after oneday, things started to change for the better. Though I was still doing offline methods, I was able to get friends to get new domain web host under me and I finally broke the deadlock and got my first sale in clickbank as well. The happiest moment was when I got my check from bluehost. Previously I blog about my first check but due to some stupid mistakes I made, all my august blog posts are gone. Anyway I just want to share this best moment here. Already cash the check but still waiting for the money to be transferred to me. I just talk to bluehost and they could actually transfer the money to paypal so it is b...

Experiences In Outsourcing Your Article Writing For Bum Marketing Theory
2007-08-10 21:31:00
It’s been a while since I really placed any emphasis on blogging recently.  Especially since I had to recover all my blogs back to the original look, but I was not able to savage all my august postings.  Anyway, I have been busy with writing articles, planning some of my niche marketing, as well as having problems at work. Anyway, some of you who have read my august posting (which is missing now) knows that I have tried to outsource my article writing.  I was trying to apply the bum marketing techniques.  Through this experience of outsourcing my article writing, I have met some good writers and 1 writer who cheated his articles on me.  Worst part was I was too tired to check after my work and by the time I found out that all his articles were direct copy from other websites, I could feel a boiling feeling inside of me. Partly, it was because I trusted people’s nature too much and second, I was just too tired to check before I had paid for his works.  IT sucks!  A...

Recommendation: Article On Using JV To Sell Affiliate Products
2007-08-07 06:09:00
Another interesting article by Mark Daoust from www.affiliatekb.com.  This article is based on his interview of David Cooper of Affiliate Avalanche. You can always count on affiliatekb.com for very informative articles and for this article, David Cooper talks about his methods of using JV to promote products.  Yes, it was always the same old story but this is slightly different because, in the interview, David Cooper was actually suggesting using JV partners to do affiliate marketing.  Or in simple newbie terms, doing JV using other people’s products.  http://www.affiliatekb.com/article/605/ affiliate-avalanche.html In his article, Mark Daoust also manage to get more hints on a few pointers that you will learn from: - What makes a good affiliate program -Should you write your own product or get merchants to write - Tips on creating your own materials for sale - Tips on building links using using social bookmarking The articles are free to read and one very important point t...

Another SetBack! Lost All August Blog Postings.
2007-08-06 21:56:00
Finally manage to get back my blog to “almost” its original look.  I was trying to setup a new blog and somehow, I remove all my blog files and luckily I have a backup of the postings until end of July.  But my key moment was in august when I receive my cheque and that posting is gone! Took me 7 hours to finally configure everything.  I shall try to rewrite some of the blog that I have lost. Moral of the story is: Do your backup, especially your database regularly, if you are someone like me who loves messing up my own blogs.  2 time I have messed up my blog and wasted another night.  Nevermind, at least it was another new experience gained.

Places To Source Your Niche Keywords Research Online
2007-07-28 10:56:00
It’s been a few days since I last update as my projects workload have increased tremedously.  In order to plan for the next $1000 dollars online, alot of planning, research has to be setup.  Consultation has to be made to my mentor as well.  So this will be a slightly short post, but hopefully, it will be useful for you. There are many occasions when you will face a writer’s block, a lack of information, lack of content and starve of the latest news. You will also need to know what is the online market demand for any niche that you are planning. So in order to expand your research, maybe you can try the following recommendations below: Places for doing your niche market: http://www.forrester.com/ http://www.idc.com/ http://news.google.com/ http://www.google.com/trends http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/ http://www.barnesandnoble.com/bestsellers /top100.asp These are the websites that I have been using recently to do my keyword research, content information and the la...

I finally Hit My USD$500 Target Earnings!!!
2007-07-22 21:14:00
It has been a personal relief. The reason is because when I first started planning a strategy for my internet marketing journey, it was at a total mess. See if you have been in the same situation: 1 - Totally no focus 2 - Spend time reading and reading but ultimately, where is the follow-up action? 3 - New product, buy! New product, buy AGAIN! And this is a very bad habit. 4 - Always get distracted by the minor problems. Trying to make the webpage nicer, trying to add beautiful widgets, doing keyword research without knowing what to look for. But we must focus on the important marketing aspect, the traffic generation techniques we should be doing. 5 - Distracted by a hectic work life. Seriously, after a hard day’s work, do you really still have the energy to carry out your internet business? 6 - Laziness sets in. Weekend is the best time to catch up on all the internet marketing strategies that you may have. But same as the work life point, it’s the weekends! The te...

8 Secrets About Me: Tagged By Hannie
2007-07-20 15:54:00
Since I was tagged by Hannie for 8 secrets about me, here goes: 1 - First skip school when I was 10, because i did not do my homework, hide under a staircase near my house and did not walk around until school time was over.  Pretended that I really went to school. 2 - Fell in love for the first time at 15 (not considering puppy love).  As a student, I could not afford much, just enough for a rose, a meal at burger king and a movie date. And I was broke after that. 3 - When I was 16, I was a soccer crazy teen, and almost wanted to quit school to play soccer full time. (I am fat now so it is hard to believe I played soccer in the past right?) 4 - When I was 18, I studied in a private school, and only appear in school twice a week, and skip the rest of the classes. (appear only when there was soccer training) 5 - When I was 20, in the army, I got measles and ended in hospital for 3 or 4 days, isolated ward and lost 8kg.  After that, I was assigned to be a carpenter, painter, plumber...

Progress Of Searching For My Part-time Article Writers
2007-07-20 07:14:00
This is the first time I am outsourcing my article writing to others while I have more time for other marketing activities but it has been quite a learning process on how to deal with applicants, just solely from the use of emails. There are 3 types of applicants I have encountered so far: - Interested applicants with fast response and fast submission of their articles. - Interested, willing, but afraid of time constraint. - Interested in the beginning but no news after my criteria has been specified. I am still trying to sort out the emails but it is actually quite fun to be doing this process though. I think I already have one good candidate in mind already. Still sourcing for the next one but not easy to find a fast and efficient writer though. Tags: Finding freelance writers

Internet Marketing Discovery on Friday The 13th
2007-07-13 05:26:00
Friday The 13th Errors: As you get more focus, you tend to discover more errors in order to improve your current online business. I just realized that another project I was working in, the opt-in page was not working properly. One part was using aweber codes, and further below, there was my getresponse code. Stupid mistake. Hee hee, I was lazy to create a new design for my opt-in page so I save another page and redo all the words and presentation but I did not realise the most important part of my page, the opt-in, is actually wrong. Nevermind, lucky the page was not launch live yet. Just need to spend some time modifying it. Friday The 13th Discovery on Ezinearticles.com: Look at the tab “My Ezine Articles Here” right on top of the page. I just created that page so that I can have some live feeds for articles I wrote in ezinearticles.com. Maybe, just maybe, someone might want to view it. I know most of the articles I wrote was not that good, except for one artic...

Enjoyment For The Weekend! Transformers is AWESOME!!! And Music & Lyric
2007-07-08 18:43:00
After coming out of my army training, I decided to give myself a break and will start doing more landing pages on monday. But on Sunday, I manage to catch 2 movies. First movie was Transformers The Movie. It was absolutely, superbly, ultimately AWESOME!! Almost all of my friends have watched the movie except me. So I pestered my girlfriend to watch with me. It brought back so many memories and though some have said that they did not enjoy transformers, for me, I loved it! No doubts about it. Optimus Prime => Leader of the Autobots Bumblebee => Lovable character of the Autobots HotRod => Weapons Specialist Iron-hide => One Tough Cookie of a Robot Megatron => Leader of the Decepticons Starscream => Always scheming to take over Megatron as the leader of the decepticons I cannot really remember the rest of the transformers.

Finally Backed From My Annual ICT And Time To Continue My Journey!!
2007-07-06 20:06:00
Hi all, I have finally completed another year of my annual army training and now I have just 2 more years of reservist to go. I can’t wait for the day when the army gives me the certificate that will declare that I will no longer be call back for army trainings anymore. For everyone who does not know, in Singapore, all Singaporeans and 2nd generation permanent residents must serve the country for 2 years in the army. And once you have completed your 2 years of national service, you are still required to report back to the army once almost every year, for a total of 10 times. It can be a short 5 day stint, and it can be as long as 3 to 4 weeks of army trainings. For me, I have already attended 8 trainings, and another 2 more years and I will have completed the requirements. To be frank, everyone will feel irritated to be called back for training but when you are finally back in camp, awaiting for instructions, suddenly there is a feeling of relief as well. We are always str...

Temporary Pause To My Internet Marketing Journey

I will be going back for my army reservists training on Tuesday and it has been a pretty tiring weekend. Before I disappear for a few days, let me leave you with some nice moments. It has been a pretty busy weekend. All my relatives came from Malaysia to attend the biggest Choong family event of the year. It’s my youngest sister’s wedding. It’s a inter-racial wedding and it was indeed an experience. At least I am glad my sister found a good husband and he can get along well with our family too. Here are some photos of the events.

Stupid Mistake After Publishing An Article In Associatedcontent.com
2007-06-30 12:44:00
When I first started trying out affiliate marketing, this was one of the first products that I tried to sell. I tried doing article marketing but writing articles on Ewen Chia’s Newbie Cash Machine but I did not setup any landing page nor did I really do any recommendations in my blog itself. I was very naive to think that visitors will come straight to my blog and just click on the picture of Newbie Cash Machine and buy. And I thought maybe I did not write the article good enough, so I stopped pushing the product for a while. And as time goes by, and my knowledge improves, I decided to see how what I did wrong for this newbie cash machine. So i decided to type “ewen chia newbie cash machine” into google and search for it. My article appeared on the first page, but it was on the almost towards the end. ***************************************** ************ ***************************************** ************ I was pretty happy to see that at least it appeared o...

Traffic Generation Experiment: Spicy Page Vote for Me Experiment

Did you notice a voting system like the picture below. It is actually quite interesting. I got 24 votes in exactly 4 days. Not bad considering I did not do much except place the picture there. It generated some form of traffic for me too. . I started experimenting with this website by doing something very simple. . I shall remain login for the whole day. Reason being that whenever you remain login, your picture profile stays on the main page of everyone who just joined or login. Out of maybe 20 visitors, maybe 1 will click on me to find out who I am. Maybe I should have used a avatar that capture attention instead of my photo but heck, I prefer to show myself. Let’s see how many people can I get to vote for me, or come to my blog this way. . The normal way will be to vote for more people, and if they reciprocate, they will vote for you and maybe drop by your blog. I don’t have plans to do that yet. Let’s try this experiment first. I wonder if there is a f...

Just want to recommend about this article that I receive from Mark Daoust from www.affiliatekb.com. After reading this article recommended by Mark, I just had to recommend it here. I was totally intrigue about his journey and his success in promoting a niche that is not internet marketing. We need more of such stories. Summary: Jerry Moore was like so many other affiliate marketers who had heard about using Adsense with Clickbank to make a living. But like so many other affiliates, he was going broke. Then he broke through. Jerry explains in detail how he turned around from a Clickbank junkie going broke to a successful marketer. He reveals the sites he used, the keywords he used, and every other detail (some that he isn’t too proud of) into a very successful business. Click on the below link to read his full story. He actually goes into quite detail on how he used adwords to advertise in specific states and he even tells you the niche he was using. I did not validate h...

Hi everyone, Seems like I am beginning to have less and less time for blogging. Reason being: 1 - Preparing a user manual for my friends on blogging for newbies on the internet. If they can understand and learn from the manual, maybe I can use it as bait for a free report or maybe sell it at a very cheap price to get some traffic, maybe some affiliate links as well. (JV anyone?) 2 - Focusing on a niche marketing product with a mastermind group which is pretty interesting but alot of learning to do. 3 - My friend is working on a health fitness product and I shall help him market it out. Another personal challenge on the Internet. 4 - Personal project. I will be setting a list of action plans for a niche market that I find quite interesting and see if it can worked! Now is 25 June 2007, and I shall update everyone with a weekly report and by the end of one month, I shall report my earnings report card.

Hi everyone, Been relatively inactive recently. My cough and flu is still bugging me till this date. Been sleeping early as well. But during these few nights, I did manage to finish 2 books, and 1 e-book. I actually bought 3 books at the International Book Fair. At Great discounts too! . First book is The Secrets , completely inspirational. Sold at kinokuniya for almost $30, I bought it at $20. Out of point anyway. But I do recommend this book for good reading. The Secrets made me so inspired that I felt like writing out all the things I have achieved in the past using the law of attraction into the blog. And the most powerful thing about this book is that it made me think of how I have forgotten to use this same law of attraction now for my internet marketing venture. I could achieve so much more if I just apply the old basics. How could I forget such simple principles of the universe. . Second book is “Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind ” by T. Harv Eker. Sold fo...
