Internet Marketing

If there’s any consolation to myself, I’ve already completed the revamp works to my current websites (at least, for now). Hoooray! 🙂

Okay, there’s no money to be made in redecorating and merely ‘touching up’ websites. It may help make user experience better, your website looks nicer, and if you tweak your sales copy well enough the conversion rates can be optimized.

But the REAL bulk of the business profits are found in doing money-making activities: getting traffic, making new offers, doing Product Launches, networking with the right people…

Which is why I wanted to get over the ‘revamp’ phase as quickly as I could. Yet this was inevitable. I couldn’t do away with it because:

Some of my websites had obsolete information,

The current state of my websites are not intergrated well enough to adopt my latest business plans,

And well, the websites could use some touching up! (couldn’t resist)

Anyways…

Finally! Got around updating the knowledgebase and FAQs at the AMLOH Helpdesk. Didn’t realize a lot of information became outdated due to the changes I’ve made to my other websites! Glad I got around doing this. 🙂

I’ve also taken this opportunity to ‘formally’ introduce my network of websites through the AMLOH webpage, as well as my existing products and services. There!

I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again: the newest layout makes me feel so proud, and my former helpdesk layout looked like a website for selling coffins. 🙂

Thanks to Siah, The Resell Rights Mastery Blog now sports a brand new design too. 🙂

These are just some of the web pages and sites I’ve reworked for my lil Project: Total Revamp. I’ve also updated several sales letters and webpages to have up-to-date information.

*PHEW* That’s truly one BIG itch off my mind! 🙂

I reflected on what 2008 is like so far to me, and I realized that I had been less fun to myself. I hardly post anything fun on my blog since the beginning of the year. I worked even on holidays (and a big bulk of the yearly holidays are at the beginning of the year, if you noticed). I rarely take any breaks.

Sure, with my current level of income and the way business is moving for me, life can be comfortable. I can actually afford to peddle less faster than I did in the last 3 years.

But why do I continue to work harder than before?

I sincerely believe in making a living outside the comfort zone. It allows me to test the limits of my ability. Also, I am against having a complacent attitude. I don’t know about you but I can get dull very quickly when I’m not at my peak.

Yes, I’ve been very accomplished and successful in my own rights. A lot of my former schoolmates have acknowledged that I am by far the most successful among my peers.

Happy? Yes, but not quite (yet). I know I can do more, and I am still far away from seeing my full potential unleashed. I hope it will continue to be that way. 🙂 But then, this year is more challenging than before. Not necessarily more difficult per se, since the situation is different from those I’ve encountered before.

It involves greater skill in time management.

More projects and business partners to work with.

I foresee my personal and business commitments to grow along as well.

And not to forget the resolutions and annual goals I’ve made for myself and my family.

Well… I’ll still indulge in some fun, but sparingly. 🙂 This is only temporary yet I have every reason to believe that the rewards to be reaped will be more than worthwhile.

Hey, you don’t expect to gain something for nothing, do you? 😉

Happy New Year! 🙂

Yes, I know I still owe a ‘proper’ New Year post – the one about wrapping 2007 up and my insights into 2008. I’ve been working around the clock on IMGuerilla with Vince Tan and the launch day is just tomorrow!

I’ve also yet to add a couple more new photos to the previous post on the Life Changing Party but I promise I’ll get back to that after IMGuerilla successfully launches.

However, I’m not passing up the chance to proudly announce that… an article on my Internet Marketing career was published in the local papers today!

Check this out! 🙂

If you’re staying in Malaysia and you’re grabbing a copy of The Star paper today, you can find my article in the EDUCATION section – on Page E4, to be exact. There’s also a partial mention of my upcoming launch, IMGuerilla, in the newspaper article.

Yep! I was interviewed by The Star some couple of weeks back (thanks Sarah Chew!) on my Internet Marketing career and theme was ‘interesting careers’. If you’re a practicing Internet Marketer and Online Entrepreneur, sure you know it too. 😉

I couldn’t help but notice that some parts of the content was a little bit ‘way off’ and some of the information transcribed on the paper was not accurate. Some parts of it could use better choice of words, too, in my opinion. However, I’m still satisfied with how it turned out, as long as the main message is conveyed and that’s the most important bottom-line.

I am very happy that the article got published and the feeling sure is great! 🙂 Previously, I never knew what it’s like to appear on any section of the paper, but just know it sure is a great feeling. Just never thought I would experience it, and sooner than expected. I also hope that the article has helped and inspired the readers as well in positive ways.

Now to strive for appearing on the front page (for the right reasons). 😎

You can see the online version of the article here too.

*** UPDATE 9th January 2008: *** I had been busy with the IMGuerilla launch but I would like to take this 5 minutes to thank everyone – friends, family and ‘comrades’ – for sending me your congrats! Thanks for the e-mails, messages and SMSes because they’re truly motivating too! 🙂 Thank you once again!
