Is This the End of WhoIsAndrewWee.com?

I’ve received email from a reader asking:

“You’re not updating your blog as regularly as you used to. Sometimes you skip entire days.

Are you giving up blogging?

What happened?

Please continue blogging, I enjoy your style and your (sic) explain things in a way I understand easily”

I appreciate getting emails, especially when concerned readers write in.

It is true that I am not blogging as regularly as I have been. I don’t see anything ending anytime soon.

The truth is I’ve been working on a very interesting project over the past month, which will culminate in an interesting session this weekend.

I’ve been hanging out with this dude:

Planning for your Internet Marketing Success and Avoiding Failure

The major problem why many fail at Internet Marketing has to do with a lack of systems.

Increasingly over the last couple of weeks I’ve received emails along the lines of:

I earned a couple of hundred dollars over the past few weeks using XYZ adsense system from XYZ guru. All of a sudden, the product doesn’t work anymore. What happened?

Or

I used this affiliate marketing product and surprised myself by racking up 30 sales in my first month. Now I’m getting 1 sale a week. I’m never going to be able to quit my day job and go fully into Internet Marketing

It’s a constant refrain and I can understand the situation that many are going through.

During my first couple of months in Internet Marketing, I was pretty psyched too, especially when my sales were doubling every month, from $1,500 the first month, to $2,500 the next month. And it just seemed like sales were set to continue doubling every month. Each time I sent out an email, it was just a matter of waking up in the morning and refreshing my payment processor screens to see the sales flying in.

I was really feeling happy till three days went by without sales.

Then a week. I was getting really concerned.

Then a couple of sales came in, but nowhere near the phenomenal level I had seen starting out, where seeing $500 a day in net profit seemed to be business as usual.

Going from my high earning days to consecutive days of zero sales was demoralizing.

It was only when I discovered Continue reading

Entering the Year of the Golden Pig (and Earning Internet Marketing Income from it)

18th February was the first year of the Chinese New Year and we’ve entered the year of the pig, according to the Chinese 12 Year Animal Astrological cycle.

This year is expected to be an especially prosperous one, since it’s a “Golden Pig” year. As I understand it, a “Golden” year comes about every 5 cycles (With each cycle comprising 12 years, that’s once every 60 years).

Chinese typically take the first three days of the Chinese New Year off (and they work for the next 362 days of the year…).

What’re the implications for Internet Marketing? Continue reading

Borat Teaches Internet Marketing!

I don’t know how I missed this, it was a sad oversight on my part.

The guys at WickedFire mentioned that Khazakh journalist (ie from Khazakstan) Borat Sagdiyev, star of “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” was branching out into Internet Marketing.

Needless to say I was shocked.

Borat is already such a popular television personality, he is sure to raise the bar for the rest of us.

In fact, he’s already launched his first instructional clip and unleashed it on YouTube.

Make Big Money by Posting Videos Online

Until now, there’d not been many ways to make money by posting videos online.

Kelvin Hui’s Ambatch.com provided an opportunity for users to embed links to video content services, in exchange for 100% of the adsense revenue. The original video portal is no longer available, although several new sub-portals have been launched.

I’d tried that for a time, although it seemed like the majority of the users were based in Asia and the bulk of users were on the Chinese language interface. English content posters seemed to be in the minority.

Enter MetaCafe, a video content hosting and publishing platform which rewards users for posting original content.

To date, some of the content publishers have done very well:

Lest you think the accrued figure as impossible to achieve, look at Continue reading

Cheap Outsourcing Can Ruin Your Online Marketing Business

I had a frightful lesson in outsourcing today: You’ll need to keep tabs on the efforts of the people you’re outsourcing work to, otherwise it could be to the detriment of your business.

You may already know that in addition to this blog, I own a network of content sites.

internet marketing cookbook

In particular, Internet Marketing Cookbook has been one of my pet projects.

But in the past couple of months, with the activity surrounding Affiliate Summit West and a couple of new projects I was working on, I didn’t have time to manage all my sites.

So it seemed like a good idea to Continue reading
