Getting Started With Little Money Online

Hey How are you doing?

Story Of How A "NewBie Woman" Got Started Online

I've been doing some reading online and was really intrigued by some of the things that I've read about other marketers blog. Some go as far as a FEW years back when they got started online. There was a lady blogger who I really respected. For some credibility reason I'd not want to make her name public in case I get sued! LOL. However, there are some interesting snippets such as when she got involved in her Internet network marketing opportunity... there wasn't much to boast about except for buying 25K leads and pumping them with emails.

Yes, you know the type, buy the leads and feed them with tons of emails with the hope to "build a relationship". Guess what? It worked! There isn't much to say except that she kept plugging into the system that she was in until after about a year later... she QUIT her job! How inspiring could that get. Some lessons learnt was this:

1. Just about anyone, even a newbie can make it in earning money online.

2. It goes without fail that if you really focus and believe in what you're doing, the money will follow. Pretty common analogy but I've done countless of research and believe me the winners usually are the ones who didn't quit the first few times they failed.

3. Consistency pays even when you're feeling down.

Remember she took something like more than a whole YEAR before she earned $3000+ a month consistently. Even so, before she found this particular opportunity she had in fact lost money and time via her previous "initial online adventures".

Words For The Newbie

Now, an encouragement for you if you're pretty new to this marketing game is not to be afraid to DO something. Be it joining a program or even attempting to do some marketing strategies online. Yes, it's scary but trust me the first step is the best step you'll ever make in your LIFE!

Look at me... I suck at writing! HAHA. But I still earn money online... wait that was lame.

Anyway, let me insert a pitch here about a newbie based money making system..

NPN opportunity

This really is low cost. I mean you get some neat marketing tools such as autoresponders and also a good ad tracking facility. Say "good riddance" to paying high cost marketing tools you need.

Revamping My Blog

Well, in any sense. I'm looking to revamp my blog over the next month or maybe around Nov time frame latest. Sorry if this blog looks too "shabby" for you (if there's anyone reading this...).

The fact is I want to bank in on making my blog a little different than just teaching. More like exposing what I do by taking an actual product or marketing system to show it. Proving that just about anyone can get started making some decent income online at either little or no cost. There have been some responses but they were all generic stuff from my subscribers.

"By the way, I love you guys... my dear valued subscribers"

However, I'm looking at really "specific" questions about marketing and what you'd really like to see happen in my new blog. There's gonna be a sneaky twist but I haven't worked out the details yet. Hmmm. Food for thought.

Maybe I should work out a skeleton plan this weekend.

Let me know if you want to "chip in" the process of helping me revamp my blog.

post a comment ..... guy!

After A Long Time...

Hey! How're you doing? I have to admit my friends keep telling me that I'm getting a little lazier at blogging. Well it's true! I AM getting lazier. Just to not sound to loud of hypey.. in fact I have been working on another project on mine and getting a little more serious about affiliate marketing. Heck, my speed of writing have improved too. Plus, now that I have been able to setup my DMO or "daily method of operation" things have been pretty much both stressful and exciting.

At times I wonder what are others doing online and how are they doing it. Then, other times I would just lie down on my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about my next million falling through the roof. Yeap, I'm just like anyone out there. In case you're still wondering - nope I'm not a millionaire - yet. But we all gotta take small steps to push towards our goal , right? To all you web entrepreneurs or aspiring marketers out there. I've got news for you. You're going to make it and all it takes is that tiny 'nudge' day by day.

Gosh, I'm even trying to motivate myself here. LOL!

There isn't much else to share because pretty soon I'll be revamping this entire blog as well to revolve around my life a little bit more. Yes, the title is ultimate marketing secrets but somehow I felt that during my blogging journey I mixed both my life and marketing journey into one so a new title would be more appropriate.

Drop me a comment and let me know what title is best to describe my new blog!

Becareful you might get what you wish for!

Cheers! X 9,999,999 !! ;)

Are You Buying Everything Online!?

I knew that this would be another gracious week as I am so enjoying the time at home spent with my lovely wife last weekend. Also, It's been sometime since I lasted posted. However, there were projects that I had to focus on and kept me from posting.

Part of the reason was that I had wanted to change the total outlook of my blog but some screwy firewall issue on my laptop keeps me away from this like a repellant! You're going to learn something different this week because it is something that I also recently discovered.

It's not new but it will benefit you I'm sure.

As per the fridge you see above? What do you notice?

It is small yes. Don't ask where this picture was taken. Okay, from my hotel room back during my trip to France beginning of this year.

Notice how the items inside are just nicely arrange to fit into the fridge? Heck, I made a trip to the grocery store just to get the necessary items I need for the day. It lasted me about 2 days and then I had to refill again.

I'm quite a pig when it comes to food but I also exercise well, mind you ;)

The point I'm trying to make is that if you really want to buy anything online, even if it's a measly $17 item - just make sure it is something you really need. Ensure that it contributes to your bottom line which is simply to earn profits. At least it would be something that you would even be willing to work on once you have it.

I made this sin for more almost half a year when I first started. Buying everything from tools, e-books and what not. Trust me, been there done that.

Also, notice I only buy what I needed to last me during a certain time frame. Don't just go and get it hoping you will use it the next 3 months or so. It has to be a tool or information that you would need right now. Today.

There really isn't much for me to shout about except the fact that when I did this, it brought me closer to my goals and I began to see massive results such as a huge flow of traffic. Perhaps not on this blog because it looks kinda dated, but on my other websites.

Be aware of what you want before someone tries to push you the latest e-book and hype out there. It's a jungle and you got lots to choose from. Don't make the wrong choices.

Otherwise, just learn from your mistakes and never repeat them again.

P.S. Vern recommends a proven system that will fit into your Web Site Marketing Strategy syllabus.

My Credit Card Story (Part II)

I'd actually wanted to update my blog earlier on but it wasn't so easy during the past few days. You can blame it on the lame internet connection here in Malaysia. I love my country, but sometimes it just sucks having such an unstable Internet connection here.

I also busted about 4 hours of my own productivity time just 2 days ago by going to a local cyber cafe and played Warcract DOTA. Got beaten flat even as a team and went back poorer by $3.50! LOL.

Oh Yes, back to my story about my credit card fraud. Well, ladies and gentleman. The culprit will be caught and the merchant bank has successfully traced his name and IC number (yes, he is Singaporean - too bad).

Complete with house address and mobile number. How cool is that?

So, here's what I did:

1. Submitted the verification form back to my credit card bank
2. Stated that this person is not authorised by me to perform the $4000 transaction
3. Mailed it
4. Went to the police station to report the "crooks" details
5. Go home and relax

Kinda simple but thats exactly what I did. You should be able to envision that what ever you're doing, the money will come. No worries. Just hang in there, do what you have to do and wait for the best to happen in your life.

Sounds a little creepily close to the Law Of Attraction I might add. Hmmmm.

Yeah, I'm still in Ipoh and it's like 12:37pm as I write this post. Feel exhausted shopping all day with my friend and enjoying the fresh seafood. Remind me to put up some nice pictures of the food we ate. Just the pictures thats all.

Till next post.
