Super Telethon Charity For The Needy Kids

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Stuart Tan, my mentor, from InternetMarketingSingapore.com is doing his bit for charity.

This is a charity where they fulfill the last wishes of children whose time is about to pass.
Just imagine, during an age where a trip to Disney Land seems so real and so mediocre,
but to these children, it’s like a dream that can never be fulfilled.

The aim of this charity drive is to collect $300,000. But I’m hoping for it to collect a cool million dollars.
Why? It’s simple, it’s to fulfill the last wishes of children who deserved it.

Please support by filling in your name & email and donate a little bit for charity. :)
Hop on down to www.SuperTelethon.org for more details.

Cheers,

Dinner with the SEO guru: Kelvin Hui

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Come to think of it… SEO guru doesn’t even cut it, cos Kelvin Hui finds SEO traffic is too slow!
Can you beat that?

Stuart was really kind enough to bring Aloysius & I to have dinner with Kelvin when he was in Singapore for the week.
And it was even more heart warming to see Kelvin still remember me by my name. :)
Then again, probably because I’m also a moderator on his forums lar! haha…

As always, dinner with experts always end up doing masterminding session. :)
It was good to know first hand on what still works and what doesn’t work anymore.

SEO in my opinion is still good for long term sustainable traffic.
So more questions was popped to Kelvin regarding such.

Of Gratitude And Such…

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

I met a person few days ago at our IMA preview. She is pretty interesting. After listening to the preview, she came to the back where my colleague was standing and asked a lot of questions pertaining to Internet Marketing. I’m not too sure of what was the initial conversation, but it pretty soon morph into a crash course on Internet Marketing.

You see, she had a physical product to sell and she wanted to learn how to do it. So she kept asking questions after questions after questions. It became pretty clear that she had no intention of joining us, but all the intentions of just using us as a source of information. We’ve showed her many many sources, eBay stores, own domain names, the definition of blogs, etc, etc…

She also asked about the price of Stuart’s book. We are selling it at $28 at out place, as compared to the usual rate of S$31.90 at the bookstores. As she had a voucher that she could get it for about $25, she didn’t get the book from us.

Now, it’s not that she have to get it from us. Today, I’m talking about this thing called gratitude. Despite our help for an hour answering her most desperate questions, this lady showed no gratitude (in my opinion) and still wanted to get the book outside.

When I first began internet marketing, I had people helping me out. I bought products thru their affiliate recommendations, even though I fully understand that I can get it through my own affiliate link and get a huge discount for it. Why do I do it? Gratitude. For the simple fact that my mentors need not help me, but they did it anyway. As a result, they’ve established a healthy relationship with tme.

Coming back to this topic proper, I would commend further, as I left out a lot of details. It really wasn’t a nice feeling from yesterday’s session, but we’ve got to realize that in this world, it takes all sorts. We cannot force people to do things that we think is right, cos there would definitely be better ways to do it. Ours are not the best, it’s just appropriate for us.

As such, I urge all of you to remember your roots and the people who’ve crossed your life and helped you.

Next issue: My Rant on the dinner with KELVIN HUI! Whoo hoo!
Focus on the great stuff dudes!

Make Loads Of Money While Having Fun!

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Is this a dream? To be making money while you are having fun?
I think not! I’ve always been an ardent fan of Rich Schefren, who is behind the phenomenal success of great Internet Marketers.
This man is responsible for the mega million profits behind the huge names. :)

So we need to pay attention when this man is talking.

I was pretty intriqued when Rich was mentioning that we need to have fun to make more money.

Leverage on other people’s strengths to maximize your business success

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

Many a times, people began their little foray into whatever opportunities they have passion in, dabble in a little bit, learnt that it’s too hard and gave up.

Some went in with full force, full of passion, but still failed and then they gave up.
But have they stopped to ponder on why they failed?

Is it because they were unlucky? Or that they were not fated to succeed?
