Not writing on this blog as I’m focusing on my goals right now. only http://internetincomecode.com will be updated more frequently.

September is a great start of a new beginning. Why is it a new beginning? I’ve recently gotten my girlfriend to join me to build my internet empire and moving towards our millionaire goal.

She quit her bank job at Stanchart after understanding how powerful internet marketing is and willing to give up the ‘security’ of a job – as if it’s really secure.

Unlike many others who said that couples running a business could be difficult, somehow the beginning seems like a great start. We learn a lot and appreciate each other even more. The truth is that I have a lot of ground work built up for the last 5 years and things are waiting just for her to come in together and grow the business.

And the best part is Internet marketing is about having more time and financial freedom within a short period of time. Can’t wait to see the progress after 6 months to a year.

Been extremely busy lately hence I’ve no time to blog in this personal blog. Aiming for 20k a month by this December hence it’s gonna use all my energy and focus to get there.

Recently Google has done it again. This time round, Google had slashed it on the big sites that are known as “Content Farm”. Big sites ranging from ezinearticles.com, buzzle.com, suite101.com are all hit by Google. These big sites who most of us once thought user generated content is king are now getting chopped by Google.

It seems that the small websites are still safe from getting hit but it may not be long when the small sites are killed in the game as well. My opinion is that as long as your content is great, you will be safe from this massacre of Google.

This interview was conducted over email with the Founders of Artyii.com, Shannon & Cai Lin, over the past weeks.

The Artyii idea, where did it come from?

It started off in the classrooms of the Singapore Management University where we were previously students at. We share a passion of arts, business and technology, hence marrying the 2 together was really a natural progression. As Asians, we decided to focus on Asian art, creating a sales platform for asian based artists to put up their artworks and paintings for sale for free. We market their artwork as affordable original wall paintings to first time home buyers and corporates. I mean, why get a print at the same price when you can get a gallery grade painting?

How do you get started with Artyii.com?

Once we got the necessary funding from various parties, both of us left our jobs to pursue this passion and as they say, the rest is history.

What are the necessary stuff to prepare when starting a web 2.0 site?

It requires a lot of planning to start a good web 2.0 site. From the site architecture, user-interface, to the placement of action buttons, to optimizing the site for SEO and planning for future modules. Its actually a lot of effort but its rewarding when you see real users interacting with what you’ve built for them.

What are the difficulties you’ve encountered when you are starting the company?

For everyone who’s started a company before, you’d know that everyday is a challenge. You wear different hats everyday – from top level strategising, to managing operations, to being a lawyer, accountant, webmaster and HR manager all at the same time. That being said, the experience you get is truly amazing.

What are the basic cost of starting and running a web 2.0 site? What do you advise a student who has no money to start a web 2.0 site?

Well, it depends on what the objectives of your site will be. Will it be an innovative platform, social site or a simple shopping cart type site? It can range from SGD500 – 15,000.

Consider your hosting cost or ask around if you can host with a friend who already has a server. Use open source frameworks such as Joomla to build your site if you don’t require complicated and customised functions. Chances are, what you’re doing has already been done before and all it takes is finding the template for it.

Keep your costs low, you’ll definitely start spending more once you learn more. Hence, it would do well to work with someone experienced when building your site

How does Artyii differentiate from its competitors?

To our knowledge, its the only sales, information and community driven art sales site in english speaking asia. Artists are able to request an invitation for free and Artyii helps faciliate the sale all the way – logistics, framing, payment, liaising. We have art professionals that provide comments to these emerging artists’ work as well. So, if you’re looking to buy art online, Artyii is the only place in the world where you can get quality, original Asian art at great prices direct from the artist.

What are the directions of Artyii.com and where you want to go from here?

We are continuing our efforts to reach out to artists as well as to buyers in the states and U.K. We are also looking for corporate buyers here in asia that are looking for bulk orders of original art for their hotels and F&B outlets.

What is the most important element to make a web 2.0 site successful?

Everything plays a complementary role – User Interface, SEO, Efficiency, Branding, Content and the value proposition of your core product/service.

To know this takes a good team – hence I would say the people behind the site are still the greatest asset.

I’ve been trying to understand this concept of “Finding Out What Your Friends Are Doing”. It is the formula that Facebook.com becomes one of the biggest internet companies in the world.

But why do we want to find out in the first place? Social status? Nosy?

Once we understand the intention behind our every action, we are able to utilize these factors in developing positive impact for our business and our daily life.

If we meet an old schoolmate, we would usually talk about what we are doing at the current moment, and talk about many different things in life. When we talk to a friend who has different values, we may talk lesser. But when we talk with someone who has the same hobbies, values or mindset, we’ll like to find out more.

Sometimes we like to show off how good we are, sometimes we just want to help them out to feel good about ourselves.

But either way, Facebook allows us to constantly in touch with our friends – old, new, and even strangers.

And because we are able to constantly see what they are doing, and we can comment on them, it gives us an opportunity to become more sociable.

This is a very fun tool that helps me to get a detailed idea of what the visitors and target audiences are trying to find out.

Over the past 4 years of doing businesses online, one of the key factors of being a successful internet marketer is being an expert in a market or niche of what you love.

You don’t need to have many skills or know all the difficult weird stuff online but you just need to be genuinely good at what you like to be – like photography, videography, jumping higher, losing weight, fitness, education, how to date, relationship, internet marketing, and many more…

And with just a little marketing skills, you could easily reach out to many people online. Due to the fact that you are good with what you are doing, you are able to attract a lot of attention through word of mouth. And that is what marketing all about…

During these few months, I’m a very much on fire for high growth. Trying out many new things and launching many projects all at once. Not that it’s a good thing but I think I should be able to manage them quite well now.

So what am I up to recently?

• My current team is now around 5-10 now (writers and VAs). And I’ve been hiring crazily on and off.
• Creating a software platform to cut down the costs of my article submission process – One of the highest costs projects I’ve ever tried so far.
• And I’ve purchased a high cost software as well.
• What makes it worst is that, during the entire thing, I’m also creating a product in a niche – working on the copywriting myself but getting my superb writer/friend to write the book itself.

I’m disobeying the law of focusing on one project at a time by doing all of these at one go. Let’s see how would this go in the end…

It’s been a while since the movie Inception was released and it was one of my favorite kind of movies in another way. If you have watched, it is about planting ideas into dreams.

To come to think of it, this isn’t a very new concept. As a human being, our brains are very capable of doing many things. And one of the most incredible things is to generate an idea. The only difference in the movie is that the idea seems to be planted into a person’s mind through dreams but in the reality, ideas usually come from a person’s mind.

But here’s the most interesting aspect, do we need to be in a person’s dream before we can inject into a person’s mind?

A few years ago, I’ve attended many seminars like NLP, self help, and many other kinds of motivational seminars. I was quite intrigued in the idea of motivation. But what really interests me is how I got suck into it. What makes me “interested” in it.

If you think that it’s because these people are good at selling and that’s why they can make you interested, you are right in some ways. At least that was what I used to think before I was exposed to NLP. I knew some kind of stuff was involved in the message and how it involves in our brain.

But now, after watching Inception, suddenly I have another theory. It’s about planting ideas into people’s mind.

Now, what are some of the best marketing ideas that have been planted into our mind?

1) Milk is healthy – we need it for calcium and it will help us to prevent osteoporosis. - This is a god damn bullshit. If you do some research, it isn’t really helpful at all. Never mind me if you don’t believe me. But here’s the most important question – where did u get the idea that we must drink milk in order to stay healthy in the first place?

Here’s another thing, why do you not believe me even I told you that’s bullshit?

If you don’t believe me, that’s because I didn’t plant this idea into your mind well enough. If I were to designed an inception into your mind to proof this otherwise, I may need to spend millions of dollars into advertising, hiring celebrities, and most importantly, get the message that “milk sucks” into our textbooks.

You know, even as i stopped drinking milk for quite some time (as I believe milk is really bad), my sub-conscious mind keep telling me “am I missing something by not drinking milk”.

Let’s go something deeper…

How do we plant this idea into someone’s mind?

2) McDonalds – Come & Eat Me!

Isn’t it amazing how they do this? Why do we want to eat McDonalds? Nah, I haven’t analyze this yet. You can think about it yourself.

In fact, inception is everywhere. It’s just whether it’s deliberate or unintentional.

Interested to find out how do you apply inception marketing?

Well, one of the best ways I’ve tested is by firstly,

1) Think of what idea you want to implant into your reader’s head. The idea that you want to implant has to be very specific. For example, it can’t be “I want my readers to buy my book”, this may sound specific, but it’s actually quite vague. You want to break into the different ideas that need to be implanted into the reader’s head before they will eventually buy.

2) Create a plan of implanting the idea subconsciously. And this is the part where it is worth 5 figures. To think of this plan could make you more than $10,000 a month easily.

Have I just implanted an idea into your mind? It’s a weak one but haven’t I just implanted the idea of doing this would make you 5 figures of income easily.

We all have been saying that “Life is unfair”. Most of us have been saying that… At least, I’ve been doing that too. And when most of us talked it to someone else, they would say “it’s no big deal”.

Well, if you have not watched the video before, please watch it. And you will know whether is life unfair for you.

I guess the thing is it doesn’t really matter whether life is unfair or not. Because not matter if life is unfair or not, you can still reach your aim, goals and your desires.

It’s rather What We Focus On.

Quit saying all the complaints, all the blames, all the excuses. Just make a goal, find the right strategies and move towards it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, don’t have connection, or even don’t have any limbs.

Recently I’m busying with creating system to replace myself in my system. It’s a tough job but I think it will be a great long term rewarding thing.

I was just testing how low can you go to hire a writer and post an ad on to some of the classified websites testing out the lowest I can go. It seems that in the lowest I can go is around one dollar fifty cents for a 500 word article.

However, the quality wasn’t what I really expected. Some of the writers gave me rewrites that is plagiarized and it was caught by copyscape. I’m not too angry about it because I was paying too little for the articles.

I was trying to use bulk purchase to bring down the cost for each article but it doesn’t help because the writer are worried about the rate per article.

I didn’t try Indian writers because I have bad experience with them though one of them actually give me one dollar for 300 word rewrite. You probably can test this out and see whether it works for you.

Another thing is when I posted the ad, only four or five bidders actually bidded for the job. When compared to the past, there were around 15 to 20 writers bidding for the job of five dollar per 500 word article.

If you’re wondering why I require these large amount of articles, I’m actually doing massive articles marketing with a number of my websites. And I made both original or and rewritten articles.

The

With a simple twist in some of my sites, I managed to double my leads growth rate from 70-100 per day to 150-200 a day.This isn’t using any of the ad swap method but purely SEO and articles marketing.

Yes, it’s tremendous growth rate. And just to show you my stats for this one day increase of leads.

This is my 2nd autoresponder account if you are wondering why I only have 10k leads. My first is around 10k as well.

When you have so many leads, you are able to create your own traffic at will and when you need to test your salesletter or opt-in, you can easily do so.

I’m aim for 300 leads for the next goal – think going to take some time as I’ve sort of maximize my conversion until the next boost in traffic.

Had quite a day when my netbook is infected with this nasty worm… Win32.netsky. It was a fake worm by some pathetic anti-virus software company trying to cheat victims to buy their anti-virus.

So here’s the what I did to solve most of the problem (not 100%) solve but at least I can log into my computer.

1) Download Malwarebytes

2) Had a bootup thumbdrive with a win vista iso when I was stuck in the logon loop.

3) Run Malwarebytes several times..

There were more steps then this as there was many mistakes and wrong steps. The internet was so full of wrong information and the key was to find out what’s the right and wrong steps.

I may need a factory restore after this… Quite a big disrupt from my daily work but luckily it’s my netbook and I still got a main laptop and a mac book so they can’t kill me easily.

In this post, I’m listing down a list of ad swap scammers.

1) Dan Cook of hypnobodyblast.com – Blasted for him but his excuse was the autoresponder was blacklisted. Then after a few months, nothing was heard from him. Even if you email him, there’s no reply. Beware if he is asking for your ad swap again.

2) Johnny Danielson from web20kingoftraffic.com – No swap from his side too.

3) Nick Philson from thedietultimatum – His swap is a little grey… He did send clicks for some portion of the swap but it was completely 0 lead from the first blast. Then he blasted out a second time onto his aweber list where I gain around 10-20 leads. That’s from a claim of 3000 list. A previous blast statistics from a 2800 list could give me a 180 leads.

Asking him what’s going on and for the statistics, and he disappeared altogether. (edit – he did reply and promise to make it up, but let’s see in the future and it’s been a few months and yet is there a future?)

For future ad swap list, I’ll break down the blast into small list and test the other person out first.

If you have done ad swap with irresponsible marketers, send me a comment and I’ll add on to this list of ad swap scammers. It’ll be at the top of the Google search.

Adding one more scammer – samdelagreat@gmail.com. Sam philip is the name he used. He will just fake the same amount of list with you and ask you to swap with him.

Recently I had this video frenzy and decided to come out with a few simple videos on internet marketing..

It took me around 2-3 hours to create it but I guess it’s a good training ground. Higher level marketing would means higher income, more noticeable, better branding etc. The thing is with videos marketing, my videos are able to go an extra mileage by going to multiple video sites all at once.

I’m just too busy to post on this blog with all these higher level of copywriting, salesletter, product planning etc. Take a look at this video and share your comments!

I just gotten a very nice surprise from Adam Short, one of the creators of Niche Profit Classroom. It’s a very warm surprise after being one of his JVs promoting his product months after months since his 2nd launch.

There are a total of 3 gifts here, a mug, a thumb drive and a ball. The mug and the ball all have the logo of NPC. The ball is a stress reliever too – you can throw in the air and it’ll become a black ball when it comes down. I was  trying to figure out what it is and then I realized it by chance. (Don’t think that I’m very free but I was very stress so playing with this gift is like an achievement).

I hope next time there will be a trophy or even a macbook.. haha..

If Adam happens to read this, thank you very much for your gifts and it really comes in very handy (I can shift some of my stuffs to the thumb now, laptop is almost maxed out).

I’ve recently been onto this crazy amazing journey into the world of social networking and the experience has been wonderful. At first, I thought social media networks like Twitter, facebook, and many more, are just some fads and it’s very difficult to make money there. But I was so wrong..

And here’s why..

In fact, the real reason why social media networking are so powerful because

1) People get to know the real you… I was testing with some niches lately, and I found out that if I show who I am, put up my pictures,  write a very sincere manner, the conversion rates increase dramatically. And after writing a true story about myself, it got more people to read and stick onto the page for longer periods of time.

2) They like to know your stories… I’ve also found out that your customers like your stories. The real story behind who you are, what you think, and how do you become the way you are right now (success or failures). I’m not sure about you, but I loved to read books of personal experience like “The Icon” which talks about Steve Jobs, “Sam Walton” (not sure if I remembered the title wrongly) which talks about Sam and how he built Walmart, “Ready, Fire, Aim” – a business book but used a very personal way to write, “Crush It” talks about the wine guy who takes wine online into a million dollar empire.. and many more.

Rather than telling you the boring and general idea of how to set up a business, these books talk about personal story. If you read it, I think you will feel connected with these people and feel that they are not so distance from you.

3) They like to know what you are doing… They want to know what you do on a daily basis.  Twitter is the best proof for this..

4) People need to connect with one another… I’m the only child and I can tell you that to connect with one another keeps a person happy. Watch the movie “cast away” and you will know how is it like to be stuck in an island with no one to connect with. Social media platforms provide you a place to communicate with one another and even connect in a deeper level. Hence using a real person would be much more effective than using a fake one.

Moral of the story – connect using the real you is the key to a successful media campaign.

You call it your personal internet assets, personal equity online, or personal branding, but essentially, this is a measure of how much you are worth online. And what you are ultimately worth online equates to how much money you will make whether online or offline.

Recently I read a very interesting book, Crush it!, written by Gary Vaynerchuk where he talks a lot about personal equity, and how one can build alot of money online. Making money online can be nothing new but certainly the part about personal equity, it is something new.

Most online marketers make money by selling digital products, affiliate programs, CPA promotions, but this guy make money by building his personal equity. Most online marketers are underground marketers that may make use of both blackhat or whitehat techniques and if you really know the underground marketer in person, you can’t really find him online.

Most part of my income derive from this as well – search engine optimization, search engine marketing, content publishing etc.

BUT after reading the book I realize that there is a very big advantage by building personal equity rather than being anonymous online.

Think about this, what if Google fails, or they change their algorithms, or your website simply get beaten by your competitors?

I guess a lot of your income will be gone. At least most of mine does…

The difference between Gary and many of internet marketers is Gary put up so much personal content that includes himself and making himself so famous that it is impossible for us not to know him and impossible for him to lose his value.

One look over at winelibrarytv.com and you will find that there is at least 803 episodes of videos created by Gary, and I think there are at least a few hundred thousands of viewers looking at each of these videos.

And this is not just all, he published a book, gain media attention, and created a lot of social equity.

The true strength of everything he created online or offline, they form an extremely powerful network of branding for himself that it is very difficult not to pick up by the media.

The strongest element that put together all of these is it forms a strong and powerful network. Anywhere people go, they see your name, they know you. You become the next highly searched keyword. And once you are the next highly searched keyword, imagine the value of the ads you put on your website.

I’m afraid that most internet marketers failed to do this because most of the content is not published but sold as digital products which doesn’t have the same reach as free but quality content.

I’m guilty of this as well.

From now on, rather being anonymous online, I’m dedicated to build my own social personal equity, no matter how the videos suck (I am really suck when comes to creating video of myself in it). But you get what I mean? Videos, pictures, articles, twitter, facebook etc and etc.

Are you game with me? I’ve just created another new twitter account with my name on it @george_tee so if you are game, follow and me and we can build a social online personal equity together.

I just read Adam Khoo’s entry on this and decided to post a similar entry to his. Recently, I hire a going to enter university guy to help me with my online business.

It was my first time hiring a part-time or full time staff and not just a virtual assistant from philiphines or India. So I gave a simple interview and thought that he was quite a good candidate to help me out with my work.

Initially we had a little misunderstandings and he thought I was paying him at $8/hour, but later on, I brought it down to $6.50/hour as my ads was around $5.50/hour. But he still accepted it since I don’t think he can find any work at $8/hour yet.

The first week went by and it was still okay. Then I guessed when you know someone better, you start to get over his head and try to laze around. And his attitude gets worse each day. He started to listen to MP3 when working and going to social networking sites like facebook and Twitter while working, thinking that I’m not looking.

How unproductive is he?

When I asked him to write an article, he can take 2-3 hours to finsh writing one article that is around 300-400 words. That costs me around $19.50 if you do the maths. but if I were to get my freelancers to do it for me, I’ll get it at $4 or 5 or even $7 with even better writings.

But then, i’m not hiring a writer so it isn’t really fair to pinpoint about this. But if a simple task like report writing and articles writing take even so long, it says something about a Singaporean.

I finally decided that he has to go after he said that $6.50 is too little for him. He isn’t happy in the first place, and I’m not getting work done enough.

But you can see that the younger Singaporean are getting more choosy, can’t withstand hardship, lesser productivity, and still think that they deserve the pay. But the truth is due to globalization, the labor market is supplied with a lot of workers that Singaporeans don’t really deserve the salary they are getting unless they do something about it.

Conclusion?

I’ll be hiring virtual assistants from other parts of the world where they would produce more work. If I’m looking for locals, they need the energy, motivation and perserverance. Probably they would be a partner then.

For the coming year till November 2010, here are my plans.

Goal #1: Building up a 20k/month online businesses.
Goal #2: Building up A 20k/month online businesses.
Goal #3: Building up A 20k/month online businesses.

Yup, there is only one goal. and that is my only goal that I’m going to hi the coming year. Here is a brief plans I’m going to do to make sure I reached my goals.

December 2009: Train & Hire an assistant to help me with all the work. (Probably think of unique ways of expand my diet sites)
January 2010: Build up all the websites on SEO, affiliate marketing and various systems. Finding partners in various businesses
February 2010: Hire another assistant if the business takes off with more revenues.
March 2010: Making all the sites are doing well, abandon poor niches and work on new niches. Making sure existing sites are ran well. Rinse and repeat the process.
April 2010: Train the assistant to be able to teach someone the same skills.
May 2010: Build up more online businesses.
June 2010: Expand with more staff.
July 2010: That’s all for now…

Let’s see what this plan can take me. Of course this is just a very brief plan, I’m going to plan deeper and see how it can turn out.

I’m thinking lately about this question.. How to increase the pie and make a hell lot of money out of it?

If you have made some progress in internet marketing and hope to progress at a higher level, what should you do next? You will find that you have hit  bottlenecks in terms of expanding fast and building fast.

One factor that stops me from growing fast is the bottleneck of time. Even if I outsource articles, outsource specific “linkbuilding” tasks, there are still a lot of time constraints that stops me from growing very fast..

So here’s the idea, suppose one person can create the value of 10, why not get another person to help you and increase the total value to 20 or even larger since the synergy of 2 persons can probably increase the total value to 25 or 30?

And you can try paying the person with 6 or 7 or 8 but in the long run, you will still benefit from it.

Obviously, you can also outsource for a VA to do it for you. This may be one alternative if hiring another person in your country is expensive or costly. However, the synergy would be lower if you would need to communicate with the VA through msn, skype, or emails.

If there is a possibility to work together in a office, it would be much better than working through offline means.

What do you think?

I’ve just added a proper header to this site today. Perhaps it’s time to beautify this site and brand myself a little too. Although my name is still fairly new in the internet marketing arena, there are still searches going on to this site. Maybe my friends, or people who have bought my products as well. Or readers can be coming from forums too.

Any way, if you want to know my latest development, I’ll be moving my way slowly into the internet marketing niches as that is afterall one of the lucrative niches. I’m still expanding into the diet niches, and I have a few sites that are ranking well in the halloween costumes. The sales are increasing for those costumes as well. (the bad thing is Amazon commissions are very little…)

Looking at Google insights, visitors should peak around end of September before october, when people are searching for the term halloween costume. At the end of the day, my aim for halloween costume sites should be hitting at least $500-$600 worth of commissions and I will use that to get a netbook or something.

I’m very excited about launch of Niche Profit Classroom 2.0. If you have been reading my entries, I’m currently working on numerous Niche websites and seldom have the time to blog.

Recently I caught a glimpse of what Niche Profit Classroom 2.0 is when I gotten a chance to talk to Adam about his new product Niche Profit Classroom 2.

If you have been building up sites in niches, you will realize the power of building niches as they will be your long term revenues that will continue to grow your money even after a few years.

Alen and Adam are teaching even much more than this. They are giving you EVERYTHING you will ever need to succeed online. Over 750 videos! When I watched some of the videos, I was amazed. Like the outsourcing to Philippines, they even taught how to outsource at the rate of $150 per ebook. (By breaking down the work into parts and giving to different people to do).. I was shocked as I though the rates I’m getting to get an quality ebook done is cheap enough ($400), but I was so wrong..

Enough of what I’m saying, why not you take a look at their official site yourself at Niche Profit Classroom

This year even though is a recession, several breakthroughs were happening for me. Sites are making huge breakthoughs getting sales and indexed in the search engine. Another breakthrough is from Twitter where all I need to do is to get followers, and all the sales would be easily made.

SEO has never been easier after I’ve mastered the seo skill. Will be releasing a seo report soon.

Very soon, I would need a new hosting platform to put up my new sites. The current one with bluehost is almost full and it’s time for diversification of sites as well.

Been outsourcing a lot too. And I’m getting health authors to write for me for some of my health and diet sites. If you are interested, do drop me an email at twitterfastcash at gmail.com.

Not going to type much. Been very busy lately dealing with several projects and sites. Twitter and SEO are the 2 power house. Going to post this script to test onlywire share firefox bookmark.

The stocks now are at awfully low price. Even as the economy may not be as positive as it is, and many expect the price to drop even more, there is many opportunities for one to earn some cash from the market.

In fact, the lower it drops, the lesser risk you have to invest in the stocks (provided the company is sound and there are growth potential for the company). My rationale is since it already drop so low already, there’s not much lower it can goes and most likely it can get rebounded. Do not follow this advice for some companies stock especially like what we have seen in the bank stocks.

My recent tradings include Noble, Olam and Wilmar. But Noble and Olam sold off. Olam with a small profit.. could have profit with more but I was waiting for the lowest point which I missed when I tried to rebalance the stocks.

Now I’m looking at Wilmar stock.. It seems that the next support would be at 3.25 and it’s going uptrend.

And bryan just closed the chat on me.. What’s the use of bluehost live chat? Freaking bluehost – always shut or suspend ur account without any reason.

This often is a big headache and a waste of time transferring domain here and there.

If you would want to transfer the domain due to any reason, simply pay godaddy for the domain first, then godaddy will email you what to do.

After which, you would need to get the EPP code from namecheap which is located at Manage Domains > Registrar Lock.

You will see this sentence “Related: Planning to transfer out this domain? Get EPP code if required. ”

Click on that and they will email the EPP code to you. Then all you need to do is just to wait.

SMU is such a university that reflects some reality of the Singapore society. I wonder what is the fundamentals of making such a university where students participate for the sake of getting the grades. “What’s the point?”

Isn’t this like how the drama serials where the employees all sucked up to the board of directors? Maybe some even use underhand methods to get their way up there.

When the level of participation are tied to the grades, and when students are desperate for the grades, they would just participate for the sake of participating. Isn’t the main aim for studying in university is to enrich and broaden the student’s mind? To make us a great thinker? Does tying the grades to the participation level brings us closer to that?

Some says that participation is what the employers are looking after/sought for. So employers are looking for people who can suck up or who can put up a show? I don’t think so. Maybe at the start this will help them to get the job, but sooner or later, it’ll be the performance?

But I’m very puzzled by the fact that why do employers have the impression that SMU students are better than the other Universities. Better marketing?

If you really want to survive in the real world, these are the few things that you can do for yourself.
1. If you know your grades can’t beat others, don’t beat. Know what you are good at. Decide whether if there’s a market for your strengths. Either develop on this strengths or find out what other strengths you like and can develop.
2. Develop your unique selling point.
3. Do what you are passionate about rather than thinking about the money.
4. Think of other more ways to earn more money so that when you are working, your employers don’t have any bargaining chips on you. (you can quit any time you want, you want to eventually work what you are passionate about so you can really excel in it)

Heard that MRT was delayed at Yishun Station at around 12 noon but could not find any latest information about what went wrong.

Police and civil defence was there.

Hmm.. Would be going there soon but not sure whether is it still accessible.

After trying one week with usfreeads, I’ve only gotten one result. That it is totally doesn’t worth the effort of doing it.

I’ve posted a total of more than 15 ads in a few days time and the visitors looking at my ads is only less than 20 each. Even my own plr products are not selling well there.

I’m testing out classified ads now.. Just wondering whether www.usfreeads.com is effective in generating traffic and leads. Will keep you updated with these news..

After upgrading my wordpress using a upgrade plugin, suddenly all my categories are gone. Luckily I’ve tested on this site rather than other sites. Now this blog does not have any category until I add them.

Still testing jetsubmitter services but I decided to test out Isnare services as well.

Heard quite good comments about Isnare and it’s pretty cheap too so I figured out why not test it out.. anyway it costs alot of time and money to do it myself or outsource it.

so here it is.. www.Isnare.com

Domain transfers can be such a headache. It took me nearly 1-2 hours to finally settling transferring of domains from one site to another.

If you ever need to transfer a domain, here’s some of the tips.

1) You will need to go to the site where you wish to transfer for instance godaddy.com. There’s a transfer domain payment page.
2) After paying for transferring, an email will be sent to you – this is an email that will give you the Transaction ID:
Security Code:
3) You will also need the authorization code from your current registrar. it’s known as EPP authorization code. You can only transfer domain after 2 months. And this code you can get it from your current registrar domain manager page.
4) Then you would need to paste the new code into the new registrar code.
5) Do note you need to unlock your registrar lock at your current registrar.

That’s basically the gist of it.

I’ve recently tried to outsource my article submitting job but it looks like I’ve found the perfect submitter.

Let’s see how much can I make with this..

I’m at it again.. making stupid mistakes again. Most people lose their money because they consume too much but I’m losing my money because I made stupid mistakes.

One of my products were selling off quite well. And it could have been better if I have been more careful with my backend. When I was setting up the system, I just used previous website html to reproduce the exact same payment site. But I’ve not update my aweber redirect – all my customers who signed up for my aweber would get to another download page with another product. How dumb can this be… and all this because I did not update my aweber script on the site.

To think of it positively, my customers could be very happy about it. oh well.. a lesson learned here. I guess I should blog more often so I could keep track of my daily activities in case I need to remember certain events. Like my bank account shows a credit item of $26 and I’ve no idea what it is. It doesn’t ring a bell at all. Even my self-recorded daily transaction doesn’t show it.

I wonder what can be done to avoid such silly mistakes..
