Penang USM "Techoprenuership Talk"

I was invited by Penang USM last week "Techoprenuership Talk". It is an honor for me to share my experience & knowledge to the young graduate how they can use Internet Marketing to start an online business from home while still studying.

Practical skills is crucial when you are looking for employment. What this graduate learned about online marketing is purely from the text book. Theory and Practical is a totally different learning experiences.

Text book might look 100% perfect strategy with minimum risk. While when you pratices it on the real world, it might not the case. You will face a lot of challenges and obstacle.

I totally believe our education system should emphasis more on practical training rather from the text book. This will definitely add advantages to the young graduate when they are looking for employment in future.

Since the world economy is under recession, the worst since 1930 great depression. It is not easy to look for employment at this moment. Thus, it is good for the University graduate to learn the internet skills and make some pocket money online.

My next challenge is to share my internet knowledge & experience to other higher education in Malaysia.

Again, thank for USM lecturer for their kind assistance.

Cheer!

Wealth, Success & Love!

I came across this story related to "Wealth", "Success" & "Love". It is full of wisdom and we can learn so much from it. Read the articles and you will understand what i means.

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in"

"We do not go into a House together," they replied.


"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."


The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth.. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in- law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in- law's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!! !"

MY WISH FOR YOU...

-Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
-Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.
-Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
-Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.

I hope you will share with your friend as well.

Cheers!

Twitter reject facebook offer

Facebook has been a hot acquisition target for years but the massively popular social networking site is now looking to pick up some of its own big name web properties. Apparently, the company tried to acquire Twitter for $500 million worth of stock five weeks ago but senior executives at both companies gave up on the idea at the beginning of Nov 2008.

The sticking point was of course price, with Twitter executives claiming that the $15 billion valuation of Facebook is inflated and taking the all stock offer would have would have actually given the deal a 150 million dollar price tag according to their calculations. Moreover, it seems there was a feeling among Twitter investors that the start-up should keep growing on its own and take a shot at figuring out its own revenue model.

This is my first articles for 2009, i would like to take this opportunity to wish all Chinese community

Happy Chinese New Year & Gong Xi Fa Chai!

What is quickest and fastest way to start an Online Business?

I have been running online business for almost 4 years. People always asking me this question, what is the fastest and easiest way to start an online Business?

I normally tell them straight away, online Business is not a "Get Quick Scheme". If you think you can start an online business and make quick money in a short period of time. Then, you are looking for a wrong business.

Online Business is just another Business. But the only differences are:-

1. Worldwide market
2. Low Set Up Cost
3. 24/7
4. Huge Profit margin
   

And it need time to Build your online empire.

In order to help you quick start you online business, i will recommend you selling other people product or "Affiliate Product". If you manage to sell the product, you will get paid by commission.

The best place to get a affiliate product is through www.ClickBank.com . There are about 10,000 product available for you to sell.

What you need to do is "Market" the product.

You can start with Google Adwords to advertise the product. When you are using this strategy to market the product, always remember "ROI" (Return of Investment). Do ensure that,what you sell can cover the cost of the advertising. If not, you are making a lost!

Hope this give you some ideas on how to kick start your online business for year 2009.

Merry X'mas & Happ New Year 2009!

STOMPING Search Engines 2 is here!

StomperNet magazines & CD1 & 2

No more food left! :-(

Dorothy Loong is enjoying the food! :-)

My Wife Dorothy Loong and me, Bernard Hay

I am so excited to get my learning material from StomperNet about Search Engine Optoimization strategy and at the same time celebrate my wife B'day at Marche the Curve.

They serve all kinds of Western food. One of the operation manager Alex Sim told me that, during Puasa time, the response is so overwhelming. You have to come early or make advance booking. If not, you will be very dissapointed to come all the way and don't have a seat for you.

One thing that i like Marche is the food they serve is really "Fresh".

Do Blogs Influence Female Consumers?

Blogs sway creators more than readers

More than one-third of US female Internet users surveyed either contributed to or read blogs in March 2008, according to the BlogHer/Compass Partners' "2008 Social Media Study."

In the study, a full 29% of female blog readers said they had made a decision to buy a product based on information found in a blog post. Female blog publishers—defined as those who read, post and publish blogs at least once a week—were apparently even more influenced by blogs: 38% said they had decided to buy something after reading a blog post.

Need data for presentations? eMarketer subscribers can download charts instantly — over 50,000 choices. Request Info

Blog influence cuts both ways, however. Nearly three out of 10 female blog readers said they had decided not to buy something based on a blog post, as did 32% of female blog publishers.
