About Andrew Wee

My name is Andrew Wee. I'm 32 years old, live in Singapore and am happily married with a 2 month old daughter. I've gone through a list of various occupations including: * journalist (for a business newspaper) * Internet content developer (for one of Asia's largest media group's Singapore Press Holdings) * trainer in entrepreneurship, business building, life skills * photographer/photojournalist * real estate agent * consultant * entrepreneur (I think that's enough for now...more later!) This is a personal space to express my goals, dreams and aspirations.

Landing Page Giveaway – The Results

Here’re the results of the landing pages giveaway:

  • Finch of FinchSells fame (though I think he’s doing well enough to not need a freebie…)
  • Claudia

I’ll be emailing you to get your preference for which pack you want as your prize.

If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the great landing pages that Thien Hoang has put together.

If you’re doing lead gen or CPA marketing, these are a great reference as they come complete with PSD files, CSS and HTML source files.

Stay tuned for next month’s contest/giveaway.

Landing Page Templates Giveaway!

Besides direct linking, you may find that incorporating landing pages into your affiliate campaigns might help with improving your Google quality score on the search network, plus it opens up opportunities to incorporate emailing into your campaigns.

If you’re like me, the design element is a major stumbling block when it comes to landing pages, and modifying an existing design – by replacing graphics, changing ad copy – is a much more attractive proposal.

Which is where these new landing page template packs come in handy.

Designed by Louisiana-based Thien Hoang, who’s a 19-year old designer focused on custom landing pages (and his own affiliate campaigns), his new Landing Page packs bundle about 16 new templates each month (effectively about 6-8 different design in various color variations).

What’s handy is that the templates are coded in CSS and besides the html and graphics, you get the PSD files too. Together with your preferred html editor, like Dreamweaver, or even a text editor, you can insert Aweber autoresponder code, collect an opt-in, send the lead to the merchant’s page and continue marketing other offers via email.

Besides PPC, I expect that they’d work well for social bookmarking, social network ads, PPV, article marketing, etc.

So rather than open up a copy of fireworks and attempt to swipe/edit/copy some other landing page, you can spend more time on your campaigns.

Thien has kindly offered to do a giveaway to my blog readers. So two readers will get their choice of either the August or September landing page pack.

The Contest:

Although I could ask you do something silly like follow me on twitter or retweet this, or something else which would inflate someone’s ego, I’ll spare you that effort.

Just insert a comment below (make sure your email is valid, else I can’t contact you if you win…).

Two random winners will be drawn on Monday.

Prize: choice of either August or September landing page pack. See links below for a preview of the templates.

If you’d like to view or buy the packs, you can check out:

Is Your Social Media Marketing As Annoying As Paris Hilton?

In 2004, mistress of sensationalist media, Paris Hilton, grabbed headlines for most of the year with antics like the leaked sex tape “One Night in Paris” (featuring ex-boyfriend Rick Solomon), the launch of her “The Simple Life” “reality” TV show, and general hobnobbing with the paparazzi.

If you were among the star-struck celeb stalking crowd, you probably could not get enough of Miz Hilton, even if she’d been appearing on Entertainment Tonight, US Weekly, People and your favorite celeb blogs with a frequency almost like diarrhea brought on by a case of really bad shellfish.

If, however, you were like the other 90% of Continue reading

Looking For A Few Lazy Affiliates…

Unless you’ve been surfing a narrow range of websites, chances are you’ve seen ads promising to generate you an affiliate business with no effort at all. Some of the clues are the use of words like “automatic”,  “auto-generated”, “24-7 income”, “in your sleep”, “everything you need”. My favorite phrase is “business-in-a-box”. So if you plonked down $47 or $97 for this ebook or software, does it mean you’ll be cruising along on Easy Street?

Perhaps more worrisome is the fact that many newbie internet marketers are falling into the trap of buying products and never doing anything.

A case in point: I went for a “guru” workshop a couple of years ago and got a 4-DVD set of the workshop recordings. I attempted to rip disc 4 from the DVD to the XVID format, so I could carry it around more easily. But it turns out Continue reading

Friday Podcast: PPC Success Strategies With Gauher Chaudhry

Gauher Chaudry

When the training course Pay Per Click Formula was launched a couple of years ago, it gave many internet marketers their first exposure to PPC-based marketing. Among the first courses in PPC affiliate marketing, it had an impact on the industry. A number of the members in the course have gone on to become top CPA affiliates and many have created landing page tools, keyword tools and shared techniques which other PPC marketers have benefited from.

I invited PPC Formula’s creator, Gauher Chaudhry, to come on the Friday Podcast to share his thoughts on:

  • How he got started in internet marketing and eventually made the transition to PPC marketing
  • Trends in paid traffic generation methods
  • Whether Google is “out to get affiliates”, as some marketers have speculated
  • Managing your risk and cashflow as you scale your business
  • Offer selection and his thoughts on hot niches and evergreen niches
  • How government regulation might affect affiliates
  • His planning process when starting new campaigns
  • The growth of the PayPerClick Formula training program and future plans

Check out the podcast below:

Note: As a special offer to Friday Podcast listeners, PayPerClick formula is available for a limited time only (till 20th October), even though it’s officially off the market. The new version is expected to cost more than the digital version.
