The entire trip was over 8 days, starting on the 8th of May. This was my 2nd trip to Sri Lanka and give food to the poor families. The previous trip was last September, you can read more here.

For this trip, there’s a total of 3 things I’m most happy about.

1) Celebrating Mother’s Day in Sri Lanka
2) My cousin contribute to distribute food to milk feeding mothers
3) Through the help of all my friend, we raise another 500 packs of rice & milk powder to give to another 500 more families food.

As the 9th itself was Mothers’ day, and instead of celebrating it in Singapore, I decided to plan a surprise party for all the 5 mothers in our group.

None of them knew about the party, except for my wife. The whole idea to let the mothers feel the joy, and secondly, is to let the orphanage have the fun of party, and also the happiness of chocolates, cakes and all the goodies.

Before the party starts, everyone was busy packing the goodies into bags, so each boy will get a pack. Note the boxes of goodies we bought this time in the background of this photo. We checked in a total of 28 bags and boxes this time, and the lady at the check-in counter was shocked.

So, once that’s done, the party begins.

I had already arranged to order a chocolate cake, and 5 roses for each mother in our group. So, you can see each boy holding a stalk of rose, waiting anxiously to give to the mothers.

Here’s a photo of all the 5 beautiful and compassionate mothers. The lady in pink floral is my grandmother, she already promoted to become Great-Grandmother since the day my boy was born.

The lady on her left, in black, is my mom. The lady in purple dress is my wife. The other 2 ladies, are my aunties. One of them is a grandmother, and the other is a mother.

So, all in all, we have 1 great-grandmother, 2 grandmothers, and 2 mothers in the photo.

All the boys and everyone were very happy. They were singing and the room was full of laughter. My grandma was so happy receiving the rose.

Next, the mothers helped to cut the cake to give to all the boys. Everyone was so joyful and happy.

For that, I’m happy, to see all the people there so happy.

The following day, we went to the area where we going to distribute the food to the milk feeding mothers.

We reached the distribution area the previous day, and everyone in the group was shocked to see mothers already queuing up at the gate.

And you know what? It was at least another 16 hours before we will start distributing the food to them. They were there with their young children, and have to stay throughout the entire night and waited till the next morning.

As I was back in my hotel sleeping, I was thinking about all those mothers waiting outside the gate. My heart just aches to think about it.

The next morning, we do our best to arrive as early as possible, and start the ceremony on time.

As you can see, people are breaking into the gate, and pushing to come in. For a start, we only allow the 100 invited milk feeding mothers to come in first.

Just within minutes, everyone was queuing up, waiting for the place to be ready and start the ceremony.

So, the first thing we want to do for them is to let them have a chair to sit. They have been standing up the entire night. Most of them would have been standing under the hot sun, carrying their babies, walking a few kilometers, and waited for hours.

They are really very strong mothers.

At this photo, you can see that I’m explaining what’s in the big white sack to my cousin’s and their family. It’s the same items that I had a photo on in the previous post.

All the invited mothers will get at least S$30 worth of food, including many food items, mattress, sarongs, medicines, fruits, water and etc. This time, they are very happy with all the items.

These 100 packs of food to the mothers was contributed by my cousin this time. They were very happy to see how much S$30 can be given to each family.

Once all the mothers are almost seated, we start to distribute the food to them.

Of course, my fortunate son helps to distribute the food too, and hopefully he will grows up to help more poor people than his parents.

As the 100 mothers were happily receiving their bags of food, they are at least 300 other mothers and poor people waiting outside the gate.

Last year, we only had about 200 extra packs of food to give to those uninvited.

This year, we had, over 500 packs of food, to be given to those uninvited mothers. All thanks to my friends in Singapore, and overseas. Without all your help, I would not be able to raise so many packs of food to give to them.

For those uninvited, we give them 5kg of brown rice (good quality), and 400 gm of milk powder (best quality), on top of that, 2 coconuts, and some other chocolate rolls we bought along.

Each pack was S$8, and as I share with my friends asking for help, many came forward to give whatever they can. Thank you so much!

Look at the long queue, we didn’t count how many people came, but we estimate at least 300 – 400 came. With that, at least anyone who came, didn’t go home hungry and empty handed.

All I wish is that the pack of food they receive can help to feed their babies, and even family for at least 2 weeks to a month.

Within just 2 hours, all the months of preparations, hundreds of people, and all the stacks of rice, milk powder, coconuts and food was gone.

You can view the YouTube video below to get a better picture. It’s about 9 minutes and 30 seconds long. It’s worth the time to see it!

But deep in my heart, and everyone in the group, we felt happy. We feel a sense of happiness, peace and calmness, and as I’m typing this post, and now in Singapore, I can truly say how fortunate I am…

To have all the things and people that I have right now.

Thank you for reading!

All of us have been working very hard to get more traffic, subscribers and increase profits for the entire internet business.

We would usually meet every weekends to review what we have done for the week and how to improve for the following…

however, last weekend, was a special one, where we have fun together.

We went for a quick lunch, follow by the regular review of the entire internet business. With that, the 2 ladies in the team went for shopping, and us guys went to play billiards.

And we top the day off with a great show, KungFu Panda!

Let me introduce my team members, from left to right…

The first lady on the left is Sharon Lee, she’s one of our friend, and she have zero knowledge when comes to internet marketing or make money online. Zero, Period! Now, after 8 weeks, she knows how to drive traffic from Social book mark sites, video marketing and many others.

The 2nd lady is of course, my wife. She’s the technical brain-child of the entire team. The beautiful design you see on this blog is never possible if not for her excellent programming skills.

The last gentleman beside me is Tong. He’s also one of my friend for many years. Have zero knowledge when comes to internet marketing or make money online too. Now, he knows exactly what it takes to drive traffic from MySpace, Squidoo, Twitter, Facebook and many other social sites.

With that, let me move on to what I want to talk about today…

“Do You Have Faith Like Po, From The KungFu Panda?”

Why do I say that? If you have NOT watch the movie, I strongly recommend it. It’s not only funny, entertaining, but it have some hidden truth when comes to success.

The story goes, where Po is just an ordinary Panda who’s selling noodles in his town. His father dream was to pass on the noodle business to him, but his entire dream ever was to learn Kung Fu and be a Kung Fu master.

The day comes when the Kung Fu world is looking for the next Dragon Warrior. And guess what, Po was mistakely chosen to be the Dragon Warrior to defeat the biggest enemy of all, Tai Lung.

What I want to tell you is that the learning starts when Po become the selected one.

All of the people in the town, and including Po’s master, Master Shifu, does not believe in him.

Nobody believe he can defeat Tai Lung, and it’s all a mistake.

But there’s only one person that believe Po, and it’s the grand master. He have a few great saying in the movie…

“There Is Not Accident”

“Yesterday was History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is the Gift, that’s why they called it the Present”

And because of this grand master believe and faith that there’s no accident, and that Po was the chosen one.

He changed the entire perceptive and mindset of the Master Shifu and the furious five.

In this entire show, I learn a lot about faith. Not only the faith from the grand master, but also the faith of Po.

Po, the panda, have zero knowledge about Kung Fu, and have never practiced it before.

But, with faith, hardworking and discipline… most importantly, believing in himself, do you think he defeated Tai Lung towards the end?

That’s for you to find out!

One thing for sure, I did not get any affiliate commission by introducing this show to you, but I share it with you is because I found the in-depth inspiration which I hope will help you to breakhthrough.

Have a great week ahead!

To Your Success,

It’s the only commodities that once lost, it’ll never be recovered back.

I’m sure you must have thought of it this way, “What if only I know all the things about making money online or start an internet business 10 years ago, or maybe just 5 years ago, I would have been…

… financial independent now, like all the gurus!”

I know many people, or even my students, thought of it that way, at least once!

However, I know that’s not serving me, and I learn that the quality of your life, equals to your quality of your questions that you ask yourself.

So, I found a better question, “What MUST I do now, so that in 5 years or even 10 years time, I can have an internet business that’s giving me financial independence?”

Notice the difference of the 2 questions, one is focusing on the past, and one is focusing on the present.

One is focusing what’s already happened. (which we cannot change), the other focus on what’s going to happen. (that we have the power to create it)

I would strongly encourage you to be aware of you thoughts and always ask better questions if you given the opportunity.

I started doing that many years ago, and when I first started investing all my time, efforts and energy into my business, I asked quality questions.

All the questions have lead me to the financial earnings that I have got for the past 2 years, to the point that in 2007 alone, have exceed 6 figures in sales.

If you have been following my posts, you would knew how to calculate your per hour rate now, and even have the 7 steps to increase it. If not…

Click here to discover the 7 steps to increase your income

So, my per hour rate for 2007 is at least $80 per hour. This year, I’m determined to increase that to at least $150 per hour, and I’m on my way to it.

With that, if you were to have an 1 hour session with me, one-to-one in 2007, you would need to invest at least $80 per hour.

And for 2008 onwards, it would be more…

I have only started to blog officially back in April. And I’m proud to say that I have almost 1,000 subscribers as of today.

In fact, I have more than 1,000, but some of the unsubscribe, which is normal, so, I’m giving you the exact number as of today.

I’m not saying all the 6 figures and 1,000 subscribers within 2 months to impress you, but is to impress upon you today…that “If I can Do It, So Can You!”

That have been always my motto in my writings of all these while.

And what’s keep me motivated and wants to blog all my experience and knowledge is YOU!

I know that you’ll be committed to read and pick up all my experience and knowledge, which I know will helps you and kick-start your internet business.

So, if you are…

1) Struggling to make money online, or even start an internet business.

2) Have been trying and trying for months or even years to make ends meet.

3) Lose focus on what’s the best niche market that you can work on to make money

4) Desire to work from home, so that you can be with your beautiful kids, but don’t know how.

5) Sick and tired of your job, your boss, and your working environment and ready to call it quits

6) and many more…

I would like to help you with it.

It’s not because I’m playing “God” here, or I think I know the answers…

When that happens to me, I know it’s time to get new books, seminars, or even speak to my mentors to ask for new insights help or guidances.

With that, I’m offering a limited time offer, where you get to have a one-to-one session with me, personally… on skype.

4) How to drive 50% or even 100% more traffic to your current website. I’ll tell you my secrets, what works, what doesn’t… (by getting only 50% more traffic to one of my website have gave me an additional $3,020 in my product sales)

I got good response from emails, and comments, and some of the common questions are, “How Do I Increase My Worth, Or, My Rates Per Hour?”

The thing about starting an internet business, working from home or make money at home, is a lonely pursuit, and journey…

I’m very fortunate to have my wife, who’s also my business partner, to be working together side by side, creating our dreams and goals together.

Of course, there’s always pros and cons on doing that. I shall not go into that, that can be another post on it’s own.

Let’s me go through 7 Simple Steps To Increase Your Rates when you make money at home:

1) Be Conscious - Be very aware and conscious of your working hours. Let’s say, you got this job that’s paying you $500, and if you are worth $50 per hour, then you MUST make sure that you finish the job in 10 hours.

If not, you could outsource it to other people for maybe $15 per hour. And you are making extra $35 per hour. However, you got to make sure…

the person who’s doing it is Not taking too much time, if not, it’ll “eat” into your profit.

2) Perform at Your Current Rate FIRST! – Let’s say, today, you are working at $25 per hour. The first thing before you can start increasing that to maybe $50 per hour…

is to make sure that you are currently working at $25 per hour. Why do I say that?

For example, you are not performing at the rate that you are worth, then you are under performing. Once you are under performing, you’ll a “false” sense of hope or “thinking” you are worth that rate.

This does not helps you at all. So, always perform at your current rate.

3) Look For Your Target - This is really simple yet profound! This is also the very reason why most people always set goals and never achieve their goals.

If you are one of them, you MUST take notes on this simple point!

The problem with most people who set goals is that they go for this philosophy of, “Aim for the Sky, if you cannot reach it, you’ll at least reach the ceiling.”

But, the problem with this mindset is that, It makes YOU feels LOUSY!

Do you always beat yourself up if you did not achieve your goals? Of course you would, most people does.

So, I go for this 3 simple words…

TAKE BABY STEPS

It’s really simple! Let say, my target is to increase from $50 per hour to $100 per hour, I will not aim to do it by next month. That’s killing myself.

That’s setting myself to fail. I’ll take baby steps to it. I might increase from $50 to $60 within the next 3 months. Can I do that? If yes, good, I will go for that.

And when I reach $60 per hour or even $65 per hour within 3 months… what do you think how I’ll feel?

You bet I’ll feel I have just won the lottery. Use it and practice it! It works!

4) Determine your strategy – For this step, I’ll need to illustrate my point through a scenario play.

Now that I determine my target, from $50 to $60 in 3 months.

So, what’s my strategies on achieving that?

List them down ( based on my business and what I do )

If I’m making $60 per hour, 8 hours a day, at 5 times a week, that’s $9,600 per month. So, when I increase my per hour from $50 to $60, I actually increase my monthly…

income from $8,000 to $9,600.

So, what do I need to do to get that extra $1,600? (Here’s my example list)

1) Launch a new product and make an extra $1,000 from that product every month
2) Get an extra web development project, and get profit of at least $2,000
3) Find another niche market, where I can be an affiliate and make $300 per month
4) Create another 20 Adsense sites, and makes an extra $20 per day from all 20 sites.
5) and many more…

So, when you list down your strategies, you want to have fun and just list down all the possibilities.

Don’t have to be too detailed and start questioning yourself if you can do it or like it. List them all and the next step will take care of it.

5) Shortlisting your choice – You could refer back to my previous post on how to setup a table on this shortlisting process. (Click here)

Or, you could ask yourself the following questions:

1) How much extra time do I have to put in to be able to see the results?
2) Is it something I can do easily? 1 – 10 Give yourself a score.
3) What’s the capital I’m willing to fork out for this?
4) Do I like this project?

These are the basic 4 questions, you can create your own, to determine which strategy works for you.

6) Take Action! – This is the most important step! If after all the planning, drawing and thinking, and you do not take a SINGLE action…

Sorry! Nothing is going to happen! Period!

So, take action immediately after you select your strategy, and start working towards it each and every day.

I’ll guaranteed that you’ll start to see your income increasing to your target!

7) Review, review and review… – The last step of all is to review. We must review everything every thing that we do.

I have 2 friends helping me on my internet business now, and every week, other than taking actions every day, we meet every week to review what we have done.

Reviews are very important! Imagine a pilot flying a plane, after setting the plane on auto-pilot to the destination, do you think the pilot goes to sleep…? Of course Not.

I’ll definately not want to be on that plane. The pilot would constantly need to guide the plane on a smoother course to the final destination.

It’s the same for your action plan. You would want to review regularly and make adjustments accordingly so that it still reaches your final destination.

So, these are the 7 steps to increase your rates.

I wish you’ll like them, and most important, use them to fit you.

To Your Success,

So, while everyone is busy doing that, do you know how much are you worth while starting your internet business?

If you looked into a financial perceptive, everyone is worth certain value. A common way to find out is by the amount of dollars that you are paid by your employers or how much you earn on a monthly basic.

While you make money at home, you want to find out your dollar per hour value, and with that, you could outsource “stuffs” that don’t worth your time.

For example, if you are paid by your employer $3,000 every month on your salary, and you worked 8 hours a day, for 5 days a week.

With that, let’s calculate how much you are worth per hour. $3,000 / 8 hours / 20 days = $18.75

So, if you are worth $18.75, what you must do is to make sure every hour that you put into your business or work, must worth at least $18.75 or more.

Let says, your boss ask you to vacuum the floor, or serve tea to the clients, then sad to say, your boss is a bit silly. He could get someone who he can pay $5 per hour to vacuum the floor or even serve tea.

Why would he ask you, when you’re worth $18.75 to perform tasks that’s $5?

So, now that you want to start your own business at home, and desire to make extra money at home, do you make the same mistakes as your boss?

Sad to say, when most people are their own boss, they make silly mistakes…

I have seen too many beginner marketers, who want to be the one-leg kicking man, or so called, one man show.

They tried to do the graphics, learn html, ftp, write articles, submit articles, social bookmark, and all the things that’s needed to setup a internet business and do it all by themselves.

In the end, either they are exhausted till they gave up, or they gave up because there’s too much to learn or too many challenges to overcome.

So, today, knowing how much you are worth is very important. Not only you know where you are, you can look forward to move towards where you want to go too.

For example, if you know you’re worth $18.75, and you said to yourself, “I want to be worth at least $50 per hour!”

That’s great! Now start looking for people who you know are worth $50 per hour and ask them, what did they do to be making $50 per hour?

It applies either to your current job you are working at, or even your own internet business.

That’s how happens to me!

I first started only at less than $15 per hour, then I find out how I can be worth $30 per hour. And working hard and overcoming challenges, I’m worth $30 per hour after some time.

When I’m worth $30 per hour, I find out again what would it takes to be making $50 per hour.

Using the same strategies, in no time, I’m making at least $50 per hour.

Now that I’m making at least $80 per hour, my next target is $100 per hour. So, you too, can be knowing how much you are worth today, and keep increasing the money that you make.

Tomorrow, I’ll discuss more on how you could increase the amount of money you are making per hour.

To Your Success,

The second matter I’m going to talk about is the shrimp shop visit that I went with my wife on friday. I’m going to share some insights and some photos…

Drum roll please…

So, many people posted their comment last week on the 2 design, and it’s a fierce choice. Almost 50% of them like the first one, and the other 50% seems to like the 2nd one.

There’s a couple of comments like both the design. Ha ha… it seems to be a difficult choice.

Nevertheless, I still have to choose one, and the winner is:

We decided to choose this design to start with. When we started to market it, we’ll need to test the conversion of the subscribers, and also test the headlines, videos, benefits and etc.

Of course, as my loyal subscriber, you’ll be the first to hear from me once my website is ready for launch and able to shop online for our services.

So, that’s wrap up the poll for that design. Really appreciate all your participations!

Now for more happy note, and the interest that I love… shrimp rearing…

It’s something new in Singapore, and it seems to only started early this year. However, some people might have started many years back.

Aquarium fish, both freshwater and marine, are always popular all time. Shrimp seems to pretty new to me! So, I decided to drop by the shop about 30 minutes away from my house.

We took half day off from our work, and drop by the shop… also as a way of relaxation for both myself and my partner.

Here’s the shop when we reach:

We had quite a hard time finding their location, and also finding their website. Haha…

It took me about 10 minutes to find the website in Google, and another 10 minutes “trying” to find where the shop is.

In the end, I gave up and call the shop to ask for specific direction.

This entire process really gives me a good insight how will my customers find their way to my website, engaging our services and what kind of feeling I want to give to them.

Great shopping experience!

When I step into the shop, it’s really a tiny space. However, the feeling is very warm, and cosy.

The place is not brightly lit, but with the lights from the tanks makes it feel warm, comfortable and happy.

The marketing campaign by the shop owner, Colin, was pretty good. Total, they have 2 newspaper press release, and that’s how I know about the new hobby. Colin is only 23. Supported by both parents, mom and dad, he started this shop.

When I was there, both his parents is there.

Let’s look at some shrimp!

All these are not ordinary shrimp that we can find in market. There are many kinds of grade in all these shrimps!

The white and red ones are called Crystal Red Shrimp! And CRS have many grades. From C grade all the way to SSS+ grade.

When in the shop, the B grade are about S$4.50 per shrimp. The SSS grade, I think, is about S$45 per shrimp. A difference in 10X the price!

After chatting with Colin for about 15 minutes, I realize it’s really easy to start one. The cost is relatively low, and survival rate is pretty high.

So, we decided to get one in a few weeks time! We intend to start small, get a small tank, with lights, small filters, gravel, and some plants…

quick start the setup for a few days first, let the plants grow, water to settle down…

then, we will go and get 2, S$4.50, Crystal Red Shrimp.

They are really cute pets! You can look at them for about 10 minutes, while we are in the shop, and they look so interesting.

Most enjoyable part is that you can build the landscape on your own, design, choose the kinds of plants, and the kind of shrimp, and you have a hobby.

Let’s see if they’ll survive under our care!

Haha…

Have a enjoyable, family-warming weekend!

Let’s jump right in!

I assume that you have work on your mindmap, as what I have shown you yesterday.

Now, I’m going to show how you could use your mindmap to start an internet business using your strength.

By take a looking at my example:

Let’s use hobbies section:

I have a few sub-branches in hobbies, I have aquarium, bowling, movies, keep fit, and health.

With each categories, I have more ideas about what I know…

So, let’s take aquarium, “What Do I Know About Aquarium?”

If you notice, you’ll see that I put in fishes, which have freshwater and marine, and also plants and also coral.

If you know about aquarium, there’s usually 2 main categories to it, Freshwater and Marine.

So, all I need is to do a research on what’s the demand of people looking for informations on freshwater aquarium and also marine aquarium.

Since I have already post a video on how to do research in the previous post, I’ll not go into that again.

I want these 2 posts to be more of a complimentary additional steps to doing research. Some people knows how to do research, but it’s more on what to do and what kind of market they want to research in.

So, today is a short post, and I wish that you enjoy it!

Most importantly, enjoy your weekend!

Talking about aquarium, after this post, I’m going to a shrimp shop where we’ll go and look at the new trend of keep shrimp as hobby!

Talk to you soon,

After the conversation, it really gives me a good insights on how much she understands about how to make money on the internet after reading my blog post…

I got to tell you upfront that she have no idea on how to do it, even though she’s from the IT industry.

After chatting with her for about 30 minutes and asking some questions, I realize where she’s stuck.

With that, I want to talk a bit more about that today.

Today, you might be like her… knowing the power of the internet, wanting to earn an extra US$1,000 – US$2,000 part-time income, or you are looking for multiple stream of income,

Or most importantly, you wanted to build a part-time business, or passive income or even retirement fund.

Whatever it is, I believe that the internet is able to do all that. I personally have benefited a lot from selling my products, informations through the internet.

I benefit not only from the financial point of view, but also having fun and the challenges of doing it at the same time.

But, one thing I realize I get a lot of question is, “What Can I Sell Online?”

or “How To Make Money On The Internet?”

Some of you might even say, “I know a bit here and there, but I still cannot grasp how this whole puzzle piece together”

Relax! I’m at your position like only 24 months ago. So, I know what you are feeling and going through.

I believe the question you should ask is, “How Can I Make Money On The Internet Using My Strength?”

Today, you want to make money on the internet using your strength. Why?

Because usually your strength would means your passion in having that knowledge or skills. And still remember I talked a lot of knowing your passion and work on your passion…

That’s important!

So, I want you to do this exercise. Take a piece of A4 paper, and a few color marker pens, and of course yourself, in a quiet room.

Put the A4 paper in landscape format, and draw a circle in the center.

And in the circle, write, “What Do I know About?”

So, your entire exercise is to draw the main branches of it, for example, Design, Marketing, Dog Training, and etc.

Then, in each of the main branch, you’ll start thinking of…

For example in Design, ask yourself, “What Do I know About Design?”

With that, you can start creating the sub-branches.

Once you are done, you should have something like this…

That’s something quick that I specially created in order to show you what I mean in the post. I always believe a picture speak a thousand words.

This only took me about 5 minutes to do it. So, I believe you can do it too.

** IMPORTANT:

When you are doing this exercise, make sure you are in a positive, upbeat and high energy mood. Why?

Because you want to feel good about yourself, and not feel lousy.

Only by feeling good, you can think of more things that you know that you know about. Be confidence about yourself. That’s important!

Ok, give it a shot!

I’m sure after working on this exercise, you’ll have a better understanding about your strengths, and about yourself.

And tomorrow, I will talk about how you can use this piece of information.

So, make sure you do it, and you’ll benefit more from tomorrow’s post.

Let me hear some comments!

To Your Success,

Click here for 2nd Post, Your Marketing Strategy.

If only you have finish reading the first 2 series, I strongly welcome you to join us on the last post of this series.

A lot of people wants to make money online, or through internet marketing. And most, if not all, will start looking for the fastest, easiest way to want to make money.

I’m also one of them, and I realize that’s only makes me going round and round with no destination…

Until, one day, I decided to STOP all that I’m doing and start setting up a purpose, a strategy and plan to it.

After that day, I’m a lot more focus, and able to get things done, most importantly, I’m starting to make money online, through the use of internet marketing.

Let’s go back to the objective of our example:

“I want to start making US$300 per month from the internet, using only 2 hours per day of my time, and I will do it in 6 months time, by 21th Nov 2008 ”

And our strategy that we have decided:

Create a landing page, drive traffic, capture leads and being an affiliate

So, how do we create our marketing plan today?

It’s really simple!

Now that you know where you want to go, how you are going to achieve it…

So, the next step is just to plan and map out on a daily basic how to reach the destination

We have a total of 6 months to reach our destination.

Let’s do a end of month plan first, this is how it will look like:

21st Nov 2008 – Achieve US$300 in that month
21th Oct 2008 – Achieve US$180 in that month
21th Sep 2008 – Achieve first US$50 in that month
21th Aug 2008 – Total 5 traffic, a total of 300 subscribers, and 80 unique visitors/day
21th Jul 2008 – Total of 3 traffic strategies, 100 subscribers, and 40 unique visitors/day
21th Jun 2008 – Market research, setup, apply 2 traffic strategies, 20 subscribers.

With that, you can adjust your monthly plan accordingly. So, all you need is to define what are the results you looking for that month?

Today is 4th June 2008. From today till 21th June, we have a total of 17 days. Based on a 2 hours work rate per day, now, map out what you want to achieve on a daily basic.

21th Jun 2008 – Achieve 20 subscribers
20th Jun 2008 – Continue traffic
19th Jun 2008 – Continue traffic
18th Jun 2008 – Get 10 subscribers , celebrate, continue traffic
17th Jun 2008 – Continue traffic
16th Jun 2008 – Continue traffic
15th Jun 2008 – Achieve 5 subscribers, continue traffic
14th Jun 2008 – Apply 2 traffic strategies
13th Jun 2008 – Apply 2 traffic strategies
12th Jun 2008 – Apply 2 traffic strategies
11th Jun 2008 – Test optin, autoresponders series
10th Jun 2008 – Write-up for Landing page, autoresponders series

7th June 2008 – Decide on Market
6th June 2008 – In-depth Market and Keywords Research
5th June 2008 – Keywords Research
4th June 2008 – Market Research

Now with a daily plan, did you think you can follow the 2 hours plan per day, and focus and get it to work?

That’s really depends on individual!

And this itself will separate whether are you going to make money like the 20% or are you going to give up, or not make any money like the 80%?

Is this is foolproof plan? Of course NOT!

There’s no foolproof plan. As much as I can plan to even the minutes and seconds on a daily basic, there’s always disruption, things not working, meeting with obstacles and challenges.

And that’s also up to individuals to overcome all those, and emerge to be the money makers.

I get a lot of emails recently asking me what’s the best way to market? How do I start? Is it easy to make money online?

I always replied with my best positive and encouraging answers. I know it’s easy and simple!

In fact, to me, to start an internet business is so much easier than working for someone else.

But, it’s the human, or rather individual, that makes it difficult.

Do you agree?

Let me hear your comments.

I’ll share with you some of my personal experience, internet marketing tips and secrets where you could decide if blogging is for you.

But first, you might think, “Does blogging really able to help me be making extra money at home?”

Personally, I know it can, you have to believe it or maybe see it to believe it first.

A few of my friends who’s making money from blogging are, Alvin Phang, Carl Kidblogger, and a few others.

Both Alvin and Carl are full-time bloggers, and their income comes mainly from blogging itself.

Talking about Carl, he’s only 15 this year, and I’m going to have an interview with him sometime this week or so…

I’ll talk more on that later.

Now, let’s explore the ways of making extra money at home from blogging:

1) You can put PPC ads, like Adsense, Cost Per Click

2) You can put CPA ads, these are Cost Per Action ads.

3) Sell advertising space. Like Banner ads, text link ads on your blog

4) Sell related affiliate products

5) Get paid for reviews

6) and many more…

Bloggers are making around a few hundred dollars per month to tens of thousands of dollars per month just from all these activities.

With that, you might want to know if blogging is for you…

1) Blogging will be good for you if you like to write.

2) You must be passionate about the topics that you are blogging about

3) You need to able to pull visitors to read and gather around your blog

4) Spend at least 2 hours per day on topics and getting traffic.

And if you are someone who’s looking for auto-pilot income, then blogging might not be for you. Blogging is not easy, it requires a lot of efforts, discipline and creativity.

However, the rewards are great if you love on that topic that you blog about.

For RoyPhay.com, it’s not a blog to make money.

This is a blog to share my experience on internet marketing. I was thinking a long time before I started this blog. I could have spend the 2 hours everyday on other money-generating ideas, activities to generate more income than blogging…

Then, why do I blog?

Simple! I know it’s really easy to start making extra money at home or start an internet business, but most people are stuck with it. So, with starting this blog, and through the posts and reading…

I really wish that it can start to help you to start making extra money at home.

Then you might ask me, “Roy, are you telling me in the process you will not ask me to buy anything?”

Of course I will… but it must be something I personally like, use it, test it and it works for me, before I share it with you.

That’s the value I want all my subscribers to get and I’ll keep it that way!

And, one of the major reason why I love blogging is that I get rank on search engine very fast, and a lot of time, dominate on long tail keywords and sometimes even competitive keywords.

Let me show you a few screenshots on that:

If you notice all the 3 screen shots on Google, for all the 3 keywords, there are Google Ads on the side.

As I had tried using Adwords before, and those ads are paying at least US$8 per click to be on first page of Google. And make money online is one of the most competitive market online.

Most importantly, I only start blogging about 40 days ago.

Which means, in less than 40 days, I’m able to rank on Google, Yahoo and MSN for such competitive keywords. If you want to use Adwords on Google or engage a SEO company, they’ll charge you an arm.

So, if you having your own website, your own internet business or etc… always consider having a blog.

It’s one of the easiest way to get rank on search engine nowadays.

I have use it myself, it works!

Many of my clients are doing that too, and they are getting free extra targeted traffic to their website every day by just blogging…

If you have any questions, let me hear it on the comments below…
