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. Before my sister’s husband came, we had a short moment together, including the youngest member of the family, Wan ting baby. . . . . . . . .

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...

Applying The Law Of Attraction To Implementing Your Internet Marketing Jour

When I first started my internet marketing venture, the experience was like this (in short form): 1) Excited 2) Buy and buy 3) Read and read 4) Lost in direction and lack of sleep 5) Buy and buy then start a blog like everyone about “making money online”, lack of ideas, doubts 6) Lost and frustrated 7) Constantly trying to find a mentor 8) Disappointed 9) Lack more sleep 10) Keep looking 11) Set realistic targets 12) Talk to more experience people 12) Form a businesspeanuts group 13) Hang it in there 14) Finally see some results 15) Can sleep better and earlier these days 15) Saw some cash coming in 16) Found a good mentor 17) Focus Focus Focus As I have gathered some good friends (everyone of them are aspiring businessmen and businesswomen, always on the lookout for opportunities) to come on-board with me on this journey, and the funny thing was, I notice some of them are already beginning to form some traits that I have encountered as well.

Traffic Generation Experiment: Spicy Page Vote for Me Experiment
2007-06-28 05:13:00
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...

I Totally Recommend To Read Secret About The Clickbank Junkie
2007-06-26 17:01:00
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!

Trying to come up with a manual on the step-by-step from installing wordpress, setup the FTP connection until changing of the themes of wordpress so that all 5 of my friends can use just this one manual.  Maybe I can use this experience to help other friends to setup their account, in exchange for them to sign their domain hosting from me. Alot of times, we are always thinking of making money online but we should not ignore the offline world as well.  Some gurus charge such a high price f...

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...

Hi everyone, It’s been a sick few days for me. Down with flu, cough and dizziness for the past few days. Hate the feeling. Luckily my boss was kind enough to instruct me to go home early to rest.

I find it strange that no one wanted to help this person even though the question is easy and can save that person a lot of time trying to find out.  Or maybe there is no “kick” helping this person.

Been meaning to write this post. On the 2nd of June, I attended a workshop by Ewen Chia. There were about 17 to 18 people in the class. The main show was definitely Ewen Chia, one of the top affiliate marketers in the world. With a subscribers’ list of over 300,000 people, I decided to do a small calculation on his sales volume. I guess just a mere 1% on a USD $27 product will bring in $81,000. And conservatively, if I would to assume that he pays out 75% of the commission to his affiliates, he would still get USD$20,250. WOW! Haha, correct me if my calculations are wrong but even if it is USD $10,000, or USD $5,000, I would be damn happy for myself. Ok, ok, I know I must work hard. Through the workshop, I also met Ethan, who is a student of Ewen Chia. His blog is at www.whatsimplyworks.com. He is already making a 4 figure income from being a full time affiliate marketer and he just started writing his blog to share his experiences. I think very soon, his name will ...
