Workshop laman web perniagaan..

Tak sangka sedar tak sedar dah lebih setengah tahun kita berada dalam tahun 2008. Kini kita telah melangkah ke suku ke-3 tahun 2008.

Saya pun dah lama tak menulis di internet tetapi Alhamdulillah pendapatan pasif dari internet masih lagi berjalan walaupun saya dah agak lama ‘berehat’.

Dalam pada saya berehat ramai juga yang menghubungi saya berkenaan dengan workshop laman web perniagaan yang kali terakhir saya adakan pada bulan Januari. Hmm.. dah lama tu..

Atas permintaan, saya akan menganjurkan workshop tersebut pada 19 Julai 2008. Rebut harga istimewa early bird dan berkumpulan segera untuk lebih jimat (diskaun sehingga RM50 seorang).
Seperti biasa workshop hands on ini terhad kepada 25 orang peserta sahaja dan atas dasar siapa cepat dia dapat (pembayaran penuh).

Dalam workshop ini anda akan diberi pendedahan tentang cara mendapatkan pendapatan di internet, bagaimana untuk bermula, asas membina laman web yang berkesan dan pemasaran di internet.

Harap dapat berjumpa anda dalam workshop kali ini. Akhir kata, semoga anda berjaya dalam bidang yang diceburi.

XsitePro version 2 is released! at last…

At last, after waiting for looooooong time, Xsitepro version 2 is now released. I am now still awake just to wait for the new site to launch. To have a quick view on the new features and the most important thing is to know how much does it cost me to upgrade!

Now they are offering USD30 off for upgrading price. Just pay USD97 to upgrade compared to to buy full version for the price of USD297. I remembered I purchased the software about USD167 few years back.

Cannot write a review on the new Xsitepro. The website loads very slow. Maybe because of lots of other people very eager to view this new release.

Go and have a look at Xsitepro version 2 now

Cheapest Wireless Broadband?

It is not the cheapest actually since you can get a wireless broadband access as low as RM68/mo with a bulky modem but I can say it is the cheapest in its class 🙂 I did some survery with other wireless broadband and found that this offer is good.

With RM78/mo (with 2 year contract), you will get unlimited access + a USB HSDPA modem (worth about RM700). But I can’t guarantee the quality and coverage since U mobile is still new to the market (is it?) and never met anyone using u surf so far.
u surf

Check out u surf website – their website is quite impressive..
You will get 8-day money back guarantee if in case you are not satisfied with the service/coverage or whatever (pls read the TOS for this) so if you are thinking of getting one for your mobile needs, then this would be a good choice.
Maxis is offering RM138/mo for unlimited access with USB modem. But they are also offering “Power WiFi” for RM158/mo (not yet explore this one)

World’s thinnest notebook

I read newspaper ad that claim the notebook is the world’s thinnest notebook. It’s a Mac. No wonder. Always come with a difference. But I’m not one of Mac goers. I think may be my friend Azizi will get one for his collection. Hehe.. It cost you only RM6,299 to have one.

macbook air

I’m still loyal with my HP notebook I bought during HP Celcom 3G promo almost 1 and half year ago. Because I paid it with ezy payment and not yet finished paid the installment 🙂 Otherwise I’m planning to buy a new smaller and lighter one. Easy for me to bring and do my work anywhere I want.

How to save money? What a question..

Nowadays people awareness on how important to save money rise. Everywhere people are talking about saving money, investing money etc.

But how you save your money? You stop smoking, you unsubscribe your astro, you do your own meal. Then at the end of the month, how much you save? Where is the money? Do you still spend all your monthly income?
Let do some simple calculation. If you save $200 per month by swithcing from travelling with car to travelling by bus you will save $2400 a year! But usually people don’t see the RM2400 at the end of the year. Where does the money go?

The right way to save money is first list down all what you can save for the month. Let say you want to cut your spending by stop smoking, use public transport, unsubscribe astro, cook your own meal etc. Your total saving is RM400.

When you get your paycheck, first thing to do (yes FIRST thing to do) is to put aside that RM400 before you pay any bills, loans etc. Make sure you put it away to your other account (without ATM card) if you inted to save the money. Otherwise it can’t be saved.

That’s how simple it is if you want to see your saving grow. Yet a lot of people failed to see the money they ‘saved’. Because they just don’t save the money.
Do a planning for the saved money. Whether you want to allocate for investment later on, emergency fund, paying debt etc.

This way you can see the amount of money you actually saved and where does the money go with new allocation plan.

How to get more money from what you already have?

When you have a business or any source of income, probably the most common ways to get more money is to find another source of income. But do you think that you have getting the fullest from your current source of income.

Below are some things you might want to consider to get even more with the same source you have.

1. Get more leads.

Leads generate customers. It is a number game, when you have more leads, you will get more customers means more money! If you are having a internet business website, get more traffic to your site.

2. Improve your conversion rate

If now from 100 visitors that visit your site, only 2 will purchase from you (2% conversion), then try to improve it to maybe 5-10% conversion. Add testimonials, package your products, give discount etc etc.

3. Increase your ticket price

If now you are selling a product form RM10, try to add some value to it and increase it to RM30. So that you will have a minimum purchase value of RM30 instead of RM10! This is easy but do it very carefully. You must justify why you add your price otherwise your customer will run away to your competitor

4. Sell again to your existing customers!

Don’t forget about your existing customers. They already purchased from you. They have the money and they trust you by being your customer. Why not you offer them some other products of yours to them? It is easier than trying to close sale for new customers.

5. Increase your profit margin

Now you are getting 30% profit margin from product you sell. For example, you take the product from manufacturer at RM70 and you sell at RM100. You get RM30 (30%) as gross profit. Why not you find another manufacturer that can give you RM50 for the same products OR you can neogotiate with your current manufacturer to give a better margin OR maybe you can learn the technology and become manufacturer of that product!

Now you think you can get more money? NO way!

..unless you do the above… 🙂 All the best!

The Stupid Test! Here Is A Fun And Real Challenge!

OK. Pay close attention. Here is a very simple little test comprised of four easy question to determine the level of your intellect. See if you have what it takes to be considered smart

Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting of time . and PLEASE no cheating!

On your mark, get set, GO!

1: You are competing in a race
and overtake the runner in second place.

In which position are you now?

Answer: If you answered that you’re now in first,
you’re wrong!

You overtook the second runner and took his place, therefore you are now in second place.

For the next question try not to be so dim.

2: If you overtake the last runner,
what position are you now in?

Answer: If you answered second to last,
you are wrong once again.

Think about it…
How can you overtake the person who is last?
If you’re behind them, they can’t be last.
You would have been last.

It would appear that thinking is not one of your strong points.
Anyway, here’s another question to try. Don’t take any notes or use a calculator, and remember, your replies must be instantaneous.

3: Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000.
Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20.
Plus 1000. And plus 10.
What is the total?

Answer: 5000?
Wrong again!

The correct answer is 4100.
Try again with good calculator.

Today is clearly not your day, although you should manage to get the last question right…

4: Marie’s father has five daughters:
1. Chacha
2. Cheche
3. Chichi
4. Chocho
5. ?

Question: What is the fifth daughter’s name?
Think quickly… you’ll find the answer below..

Answer: Chuchu?
WRONG!

It’s obviously Marie!
Read the question properly.

You are clearly the weakest link.
Now challenge your friends!

Another “the death of..” report

I got few e-mails from fellow internet marketers promoting a free report titled “The death of network marketing”. You will get US0.25 per successful download. But hold on. I’m NOT going to ask you to download anything so that I can make money and left you getting few bucks because you don’t know how to make money with it.

This kind of viral marketing was being made popular by Scott Boulch of The death of Adsense where you get US1 for each download if I’m not mistaken. Then more internet marketers adapting this method to build list fast and sell high-priced seminar and dvd collection or whatever.

It was hard to get the download not as what people say ‘easy money’. If you do not have at least 1000 subscribers in your opt-in list, forget about it. No one will download from you when you advertise on your blog with only 20 visitors a day.

Furthermore it is a one time payment that you get from your effort. Not a long term residual income you can get again and again from the internet.

Lately I always think a simpler, better way for beginner and non-techie people to really be successful on the internet. If you say that everybody can make money online, I totally disagree with that.

It’s just like saying everybody can be an engineer. Yes you can be a an engineer, but you need a special skill and enough knowledge to be one. You have to spend lots of time learning, researching and master lots of other technical skill to be an engineer.

If you want to make money online you may need to know how to build website, setting up a blog, shopping cart, uploading files, affiliate program scripts, know about SEO, web 2.0, opt-in list and so on and so on.. Do you think you can do this with what you currently have? Do you really afford to do what it takes to be successful online?

How many of you have read more than 20 ebooks on making money online? How many of you have spent more than 3 hours a day just to look for opportuny to make money online? How many of you have gone to seminar but still don’t have idea how to make money online? How many of you getting less than USD10 from internet after spend time blogging for more than 3 months?

So what’s the simple way? Do you have the answer? I don’t.. at this moment but I will share when I have the answer. Think think..

The death of blogging?

Got some extra time tonight. Checked out some of internet marketer’s e-mails that I subscribe and go to my google reader to read some blogs.
When I read through, I could see the trend of bloggers apologize readers because they did not have time to update the blog, reduce in number of generous and useful tips etc.
Below are some reasons I can think of why the bloggers are slowing down and may lead to the death of blogging..

  1. Too busy to write for free
  2. Don’t get enough money to ‘fund’ their blogging effort
  3. People don’t have time to read blogs anymore
  4. No more interesting idea to write about
  5. Don’t have goals and no achievements whatsoever after writing for a year!

Now blog is just like a website – Being abandoned and left out being rubbish on the internet. When doing a search, the old posting that is not relevant anymore pops up requiring more time for you to find a good answer for your research.
So what’s next after blogging?
