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.

Digital Point Forum

Currently I'm working on a project (result after a month) and this project requires me to sign up with Digital Point Forum. As of today I've posted 1 new thread and 5 posts altogether. I'm hoping to achieved at least 5 posts a day within an hour per day (hey... my time is limited OK... I have a real work in the real world).

That'd be 150 posts by the end of the month. If anybody out there's trying to figure out what I'm doing... track me down at DP Forum, look for 'thinktankertwo'.

To Amirul of Sistem Rahsia, hey man, I wish I'd been thinking of this solution to get $$ from the net when I was your age, thanks for the information and a hell lot of tips and bonuses from your e-book. I'm very sure if you made an affiliate proram, your e-book will sell faster like 'pisang goreng panas'!! Oh, by the way, I'm just 2 km away from you! Hahah..

Part-Time Blogger

Since I'm going to change the content for this blog to internet marketing, I think I need to pursuade my readers on my own achievements and luck in the industry. Hehe... so I'm going to start by what I had achieved so far (which is just a tid bit).

Another reason for the need of 'boasting' about my achievement here is that... I'm a very forgetful person :p I need some sort of a log to what I have done, what I get paid for. Since BLOG is initially for logging things like a diary or a journal, so let's fully utilise it. Besides, human need to look back sometimes to see how far they've gone, what kind of mistakes they've done, etc.

As of today I had finished writing up on a review (supposedly it's a gadget review, but I just cannot restrain myself from writing about something else there, but it is still considered a review). It's on iPhone interface built for pocket PC (PPC). You can view it later once it is approved by the webmaster (hope he will, coz it's certainly out of the context of the site), but you can still check out other gadget reviews by clicking this link! If it is approved, then it's my 6th reviews so far at this site.

What I get from doing these reviews for him? USD 1 per review. Not much?? Eh... it's a start la man... At least I got something out of the internet (unlike you) :p Besides... USD 1 x 3.50 laaa in RM...

I was thinking of revving up my pace on writing the reviews, so if anyone found anything cool to talk about, send me the URL!

Now you wanna know where I hooked on such job? I used to hang out here. Then I came upon an advertisement asking to be a part-time blogger. So I sent an e-mail and later on the person asked me to send a review as an example before he actually signed me up with his site. Basically that's the story and my priceless review on Motorola L6 is what get me the job (thanks to my boyfriend for lending it to me for a week!)

Internet Marketing: IM

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to explain the basic definition of Internet Marketing (IM) since some people REALLY has no idea what it is...

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!

P/s: To all SaifulSham's RBDDI seminar participants who are also joining the Fast Track course in building website, see you tomorrow at 9 am!!

IM: Newbie | Setting a special e-mail account

Dearest all,

I’m going to start from the very beginning, so I apologise if any of you who’re reading this feels that I am going too slow with the tips and all (it’s a newbie section anyway, so buzz off pro!).

What you want to do first is to set up your own e-mail account that you can use for your online business. It is better to have a separate one that you can use just for business purposes because later on you’ll found out that you had subscribe to so many listings that it literally blocked you out of all your personal mails. So better be prepared and start separating your business and personal e-mails.

Oh, make sure that you get a username that is catchy & easy enough to remember and if possible, use the same username of the new e-mail for any access to any forum you joined. This is to create identity and branding. If you're planning to set up a business selling things or services online, it is better if you can plan out what it is and set up a company name - and use the company name for your e-mail account username.

One thing you should do with any e-mail account you use is to put a signature file at the end of it to advertise your business or product. This way you get free advertising with every email you send. If someone gets that email and forwards it to someone else, they too will see your signature file, and soon it can spread virally across the globe. Even if you still didn’t have any business or product to sell you still can advertise your personal blog’s URL, or an affiliate link. If you have never joined any affiliate program, just click here to start joining one!

An email signature should not try and sell the product, it should just give enough information to wet the appetite of the reader so that they will visit the site. Take the time to change your signature right now, so that it will begin working for you immediately.

Hallooo!

Been a long time (1 week??) since I last updated this blog and somehow I've been feeling the pressure hehehe... most probably from the seminar I attended. Such a cool and informative seminar. Altogether it was good although 60% of what was presented I've already know from the information and e-books I gathered and invested in. But those other 40% are priceless and that's what makes it so good.

Congratulations to the SaifulSham's Team!

Now, I'm thinking of turning this blog into a good place to gain information on internet marketing. Something to size up everything on what I've been up to on that part of my hectic schedule. Probably on tips and such but 1st, I need to change my header into something that contain the keywords of things I should focus on... (hint hint).

Oh, by the way... I'll sign the employment letter next Monday (hopefully) and I'll be taking over the Production Services (i.e.: the Syrup Room Manager position who's retiring soon, as an executive). Such a load of responsibilities and I'm already freaking out! Dear friends! I need your support!
