OK, listen up! For those of you who had bought a domain name... now get your credit card ready again to BUY your hosting! Remember, no sacrifices, no gain!!
Now, a hosting account is basically like renting for your apartment. You don't own the house but the whole content, your furniture, TV, etc. are yours. Since you don’t have a server to host a website, so you have to rent that server space from a company. There are lots of different hosting companies on the web, some are free, some are cheap (about $9.95 per month) but have very limited features, and there are very expensive ones, right up to dedicated servers where you have a whole machine dedicated to running your site. These cost up to $200 a month or more.
If you are starting out, you definitely don’t need a dedicated server, but you shouldn’t go for the cheapest one either (since most of the time, the cheapest goes to the most basic package). One of the best host recommended for beginners is HostGator. More than just regular hosting, they actually give you an incredible number of tools for you to use, as well as a dedicated and easy to use control panel. With just their “Baby” hosting package, you can host an unlimited number of domains for only $9.95 per month. My advice would be to sign up with them straight
away. The great thing about them is that they don’t have a minimum contract so
you only pay monthly.

Your Own Domain
If you are going to try and make a living online, you are going to need a website right? But how are you going to get one? The first step you need to take is to register a Domain Name.
A domain name is what comes after the “http://www.” in any internet address. A domain can have lots of different extensions, such as “.com”, “.ws”, “.net”, “.org” and so on. When choosing your domain name, I would suggest trying to get one that ends in “.com”. After all, a lot of times people will not remember the extension and will just use “.com” as it is the most common one to use. So, if you had www.YourDomain.org, and someone else had www.YourDomain.com, there is a good chance that they could end up typing in the .com address and go to the other site rather than yours. This is NOT good!
If you can’t think of a domain to use just yet, try using your name! It is becoming more and more common place for online marketers to have their own site based on their name or a common username that they have been using for years over the internet (like my "thinktankertwo" - I bought a domain name called thinktankertwo.com last week). On this site they can have links to all their different sites. So even if someone doesn’t know a particular site of yours, but knows your name, they can go to www.YourName.com and read all about you and your products.
So where do you register a domain name? One of the cheapest places to register your domain is www.NameCheap.com and their domains start at about $8.88 per year, or even cheaper if you register them for a longer period of time. So go get yours today!

Question Yourself
I had once came accross a quote that sound something like this: Knowledge and information is to be questioned, not received without any argument.
The older educational system and Malaysian mindset were so against this quote mainly because we will be bantered at if we asked too much question. This attitude is by far the worst murderer to intelligence and innovation.
When you received a piece of information, you should question it either it is correct or wrong, is it rellevant or not, does it apply to you, etc. I've always like to question myself these 2 questions when I'm studying or learning something new:
Whereas the "what if" questions are what spawn invention. When you're asking yourself "What if I do this? What happened?" You're basically trying on a new way to do things. It is essential in speeding up the learning process because the answers to this question might have already be there even before you asked it. The best part is that since you yourself think it out without the need to be spoon-fed, you understand it by intuition, better.

Another Reason to Be Your Own Boss
As I've mentioned in several posts back, I'll be assigned to a new position. I received the employment letter late afternoon... guess what? The whole employment letter is so full of b******. I daresay that our old contract is much better than this one. Sigh... you see what happened if you work under a boss EVEN in a giant company such as mine.
So every single students out there, every single working person, start creating your own company! Let's do online businesses!! Forget about earning a fixed amount of money each month doing soooo many things and dealing with a lot of pressure. Let's start earning infinite amount of salary and only then the loadssss of work and pressure will be worthwhile.
By the way, I've posted yet another new gadget review to be approved and posted at IdealGadget. Let's wait for what Mr. Liew said tomorrow morning regarding my previous post :D At DigitalPoint Forum I've managed to post 16 posts altogether (lost count how many for today's posts), it's kinda fun actually and you REALLY get a whole lot of tips on how to do IM there. Oh, did I mentioned that I got ONE GREEN yesterday?? That green is for reputation and there are 15 points altogether. Only my second day after joining in, one green, 16 posts, 5 PMs. Looking good.
I guess the pressure of a lousy salary is pushing me to the limits of IM.

Getting Yourself Updated
Good morning everyone!
Such a lovely Monday morning for those who have to wake up and face the morning traffics and being late on the first day of the week! *sarcastic*
Anyway just to update and log in some tips for new beginner.
Yesterday (Sunday, 4th March 07) I joined a website development workshop by the SaifulSham’s Team. One of the Fast Track course packaged along with the RBDDI Seminar. It is very basic, suitable for beginner (who really know nothing). They’ll teach starting from scratch. Mainly on how to make a sales letter webpage using Microsoft FrontPage. A compilation CD of all the softwares (these are FREE given to you) they used to make an e-book, to generate forms, to create auto responder, etc. are given away.
The workshop is considered slow to some people especially those who had already have the basics of computing, that is why I stressed out the fact that it is suitable for beginner who really know nothing. However there are some small things that a higher level of user can grab as tips to smoothen out their operation.
Most importantly, by attending the workshop I’m able to broaden my network of internet marketers to other fields. Networking is very important especially when you just starting up on something new. Already I’ve found someone to discuss with regarding the project I’m focusing on.
In gist, today's tips is always make a time to learn something new each day. At least an hour or so. Just pure study about IM. You'll never know that even the smallest tips you found could help you to achieve better traffics, etc. NEVER think anything is too simple or too low for your standard of knowledge.

IM is not (just) about opening a store online and selling hard, real physical stuffs over the internet. It's about making $$$ online - LEGITIMATELY.
It's not any MLM program, or get-rich quickly schemes, etc. It's purely how creative you are in utilising the internet to gain money. Not only through pulling people's attention to visit your site and eventually buy your stuff/click your advertisement, but up on how to make $$ without ever needing any blog, website or even initial fundings.
There ARE a lot of ways for you to start earning your pennies on the net and here at ThinkTankerTwo_TheBlog, I'll give you some hints and tips on how to start. Best of all, these tips are FREE! Just make sure you subscribe to this blog (down there on the right) so that you won't miss out on any post of goodies I'm putting up here!
Hope to see you again in the next post! Have a great weekend!
