72 Hours Left to Hit Your Targets

4 Replies

In a universe of nearly unlimited Internet Marketing products, one thing and one thing alone will determine your online success.

Although you might already be bombarded each day with a barrage of emails and irresistible offers, here’s a tip to help you achieve your 2006 goals over the next 70+ hours.

  • Focus, Focus, Focus

I call it a tip (some might call it a trick). The mind can only fully concentrate on one task at a time. Have you ever been in a race (whether on land or in a swimming pool or some other situation) and you found yourself watching the competition? Continue reading →

Taiwan Earthquake Rocks Internet Marketing World

2 Replies

Here’s the bad news.

A 7.1 Richter Scale earthquake hit southern Taiwan yesterday, injuring 42 people and killing 2.

The Taiwan weather bureau says aftershocks of 5.0 magnitude are expected within a week.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Taiwan, especially since the earthquake might trigger a regional tsunami to the neighouring countries.

Even though Singapore is a couple of thousand miles away, we were spared either.

A number of submarine data cables were damaged, disrupting Internet access. [At this time, google, gmail, clickbank and my email accounts are inacessible].

The fact that I have DSL and cable modem connections to 2 different Internet Service Providers hasn’t helped either. Taiwan is one of the major Internet gateways between Asia and the rest of the world.

Although Internet connectivity has been rerouted to other connections, I believe the ISPs are metering the available bandwidth. Sites are loading up slowly and though HTTP access is available to some sites, email isn’t readily accessible.

This means I can’t access email sent to me via the contact form.

ProBlogger Writing Project Entries Reloaded Round 1

1 Reply

After Darren Rowse’s recently concluded Reviews and Predictions Writing Project, when things have slowed down a little, I’ve finally a chance to look at the other entries.

As Darren mentioned, whether anything you write actually gets read, depends on your title. Whether it’s a website, a blog entry, the name of a blog, the title of an ebook, everything depends on:

  • Keywords in the Title: Examples include monetary amounts: “$100,000”, names of prominent individuals “Britney Spears”, “Matt Cutts”, “Shoemoney”, “Yanik Silver”
  • Eyecatching Phrases: “Blog in Your Sleep”, “Autopilot Income”, “Floods of Traffic”
  • Scarcity: “Christmas Promotion”, “Limited Edition”, “Next 5 Readers only”

I’m looking through the titles and there’s a very obvious contrast between a generic title like “Looking Back at 2006” and “My Predictions for 2007” which are Continue reading →

Are You on the Internet Marketing Path to Glory?

7 Replies

I’ve had the chance to talk to a number of new Internet Marketers recently and I’m both inspired by their enthusiasm and alarmed by a major issue that a lot of them are facing.

If left unchecked, it could lead to the situation another of my contacts faced.

They quit their regular job to focus on Internet Marketing. Just working on it for long hours every day, sometimes 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

But yet their results were underwhelming to say the least. And close to a year into Internet Marketing, their savings are severely depleted.

Let’s look at some of the issues that will stall your plans toward achieving that Million Dollar Continue reading →

ProBlogger’s $2,500 Blogging Competition

2 Replies

ProBlogger Reviews and Predictions“Competition” may not be the best way to describe ProBlogger Darren Rowse’s latest writing project.

That’s because Darren will be assigning the prizes worth $2,500 randomly to 10 lucky winners.

The last time round I set my sights on the $200 Amazon voucher.

This time round, the prizes look equally tantalizing, although I’d have to say my top Continue reading →

Back from Paradise into the Internet Marketing Thick of Things

5 Replies

The last 5 days has been an interesting time.

Fresh from finishing an intensive two day workshop with Copywriting Guru Jo Han Mok, I went for a 3 day vacation to paradise with the family. (thanks to my buddy Rachit Dayal who helped with my blog housekeeping while I was away)

We headed out to Indonesia in choppy water, akin to 5G roller coaster ride. (I’d later discovered that Singapore had been subjected to 24 hours of rain and flooding).

The ocean ride was tough. I couldn’t keep my lunch down. Neither it seemed could about 80% of the other passengers.

But we were rewarded with Continue reading →
