Day 233.1: Work Full Time vs Internet Marketing Full Time?

Folks,

I had a question thrown at me that if I were to decide to choose working full time at my current workplace or leave and concentrate on my Internet Marketing Business?

Wow! Tough one.... because both I feel is good for me.

Of course, I would not leave my current work because I have not establish a good income from my Internet Based Business.

Not that my current work has a very good pay package but at least it helps with paying the bills a little..... And it does help me improve, on my inter-personal skills.

One that i don't get a lot when I was behind my laptop working hard to make my Internet Based Business a success.

Also, I didn't want to leave my current work because I want to prove to people that it is possible to run a business part-time whilst you have a full-time work.

Eventually, you would want to do what you love to earn more that what you are currently getting whilst working full time and so, it is time to decide.

There's 5 stages in a person's life whilst moving from Employee to M.Y.O.B.:

1. Work Full-time with full-time pay.
2. Work Full-time with full-time pay and Part-time work with Part-time pay.
3. Work Full-time with full-time pay and Part-time work with full-time pay.
4. Part-time work with pay exceeding full-time pay.
5. Quit Full-time work to work Part-time.

Of course, if my Internet Based Business is earning more than my full-time work, I would gladly leave my current workplace and concentrate on growing my business because the benefits of being a business owner overweighs being an employee.

Especially if you were to earn a full-time(if not more) income and work part-time hours.

Imagine what MORE TIME & MORE MONEY would do to your life?

Cheers!

Day 233.0: Alief's Work for 3 Dollars Guide.

Folks,

After reading thru some e-books that I have accumulated over the years and that have been residing in my Mac iBook G4's hard disk for years, I realized that giving away reliable materials is a good way in doing well in Internet Marketing.

I just thought of an e-book that I want to give away and whilst doing that I may build credibility and most importantly, a list.

Materials for this guide has already been written and I only need to accumulate them and make it into a single e-book.

Of course, I will make it as a Portable Document Format (pdf) type file and the most popular would me the Adobe Acrobat ".pdf" type format.

This is the most ubiquitous e-book format on the internet today thanks to Adobe's marketing in the Acrobat ".pdf" type format.

Also, that is a preferred method because my Mac iBook G4 comes with a Mac OS ver 10.4 that comes with a free ".pdf" document maker.

Thanks Steve Jobs of Apple Inc. Kudos to ya!

I thought of making an e-book titled: "Alief's Work for 3 Dollars Guide" and I am going to give it away for free.

It'll be a step-by-step e-book on how to start your 'Work For 3 Dollars' business and how to do well in it.

Also, I hope that by writing this e-book, I'll get my act together and make my W4$3 biz successful as I'll be sharing methods on how I get my business growing.

The key to make your W4$3 biz successful is to expose this to as many people on the internet who is looking for business opportunities AND they want to have a minimal start-up cost.

I believe that USD$3.00 is a VERY minimal amount of money for anybody who want to build a business that may grow to a value of USD$2.5 Million!

So, today I am going to draft up a rough plan on how the e-book's contents will be.

Most likely, it'll contain things like:

• What is Work for 3 Dollars?
• How does it work?
• Why must I use AlertPay?
• Is there any other payment co-processor?
• Can I use credit card to join?
• How many people must I find as my referrals?
• Do I get any products or services in return?
• What is a List Builder program?
• How fast can I grow my business so that I get my USD$2.5 Million?

Okay, so those are the questions that I can think of right now.

Now, for the draft.

Cheers!

Day 223.2: Damn!

Folks,

Today i got a call from my current boss who asked me to do a form of sales that I feel that is not effective at all: STREAMYX Sales Hunt(SH).

Perhaps the last time that I did an SH was such a terrible experience that I felt that doing such a thing SUCKS BIG TIME!

Imagine you go around housing estates like a door-to-door salesman in an official company car and you "try" to convince the people living inside the house that what you are selling is what they need.

The problem is that if I have a stranger at my gate or door, I usually act very suspicious of them because of the many news of criminals pretending to be sales people and robbing their victims, or even worse, killing them.

And I usually ask them to go away even if the thing that they are selling may appear like something that I may need. When I am at home, I usually want to spend the time being home and doing homely things and not wanting to shop or buy something from an absolute stranger.

When I am out and about in a shopping complex, that is the right time for people to "try" to approach me because I'm in a buying mood. If the item that is being sold to me suits me, I'll definitely buy it.

So imagine yourself going from house to house in the hot and humid Malaysian weather and you "try" to sell STREAMYX to people who's average income is less than RM1,000.00 a month!

I think that one of the most sellable items or service in Malaysia when you go door-to-door is ice-cream, "karang guni" / recycle service for paper, cloth, glass, plastics etc. Recently, I heard of selling Yakult or Vitagen as a weekly delivery thing.

My grip of doing STREAMYX SH is made worse when my boss asks me to do it at the last minute.

Imagine you looking forward to Saturday and Sunday with your family and then suddenly at the "final hour", you get a call from your boss to work the whole day on Saturday, and then have the audacity to tell you that you can take the whole Sunday off!

What!? So if there is no SH on Saturday, I still have to go to the office and look for work to do?!

I'm feeling very angry at the whole situation because it makes me feel tied to my work that I don't know will pay me USD$2,000.00 / month that I am asking for. And that it is giving me very little money to live on.

I'm feeling angry that my Internet Marketing Business is not letting me have USD$2,000.00 / month income.

I'm wishing that one day, I can be like Ewen Chia or Rich Schefren or Mike Filsaime or at least be Financially Free.

No need to listen to a boss who tells you at the last minute that you have to work on a Saturday and that you are entitled to a Sunday off!

It makes me want to report this company to the press that they are working their employees to the bone and not paying them enough or letting them have enough rest days.

But if I do that, the employees, who appears to like the job and taking whatever that they are earning to help pay their debts, will be out of a job!!

Today, it is unfortunate for me to say that I am not happy at my job because I am paid little and have to work so much!!!

I don't want to work so much anymore!

Even if I have to work so much, I prefer to be at home in front of my computer earning a decent 4 figure income a month and still within reach of my family and loved ones.

I believe that W4$3 is one of the many ways. I believe that it is going to be one of my many multiple streams of income.

Cheers!

Day 223.1: Very Interesting YouTube Video!

Folks!

I just saw an incredibly interesting video on YouTube and I am going to share it here with you:

I think I am "strucked" by this video because of what I saw on the Discovery Channel not too long ago: "Download: The True Story of the Internet"

Enjoy!

Day 223.0: A Really Great Newsletter!

Folks,

I guess that this may not be a Once-A-Month updated blog after all. (Hah!)

The short 5 minutes video of Nick Vujicic is still on my mind and I am still adamant that I find the way out of my financial situation into becoming a Financially Free individual thru my Internet Marketing Business.

Today, I learn that my Work-For-3-Dollars biz is having a new face and I encourage you to go there and take a look:

Click here.

Another thing is that I am also a frequent follower of 3 GREAT Internet Marketing gurus:

1. Rich Schefren
2. Mike Filsaime and
3. Ewen Chia

The latter, Ewen Chia, is one of my favorite because he is home (Singapore) grown. I've personally met him and I cannot believe that a guy like Ewen Chia with his broken English can command the attention of tens and thousands of people on stage and perhaps hundreds and thousands (if not a million or more) people on the Internet.

Of course, he is a very nice guy and very approachable. No "diva" like behaviors etc.

I'm writing more about him because of a newsletter that he wrote and I believe that it is a damn good newsletter that I have read because he answers his version of Internet Marketing's Top 10 questions:

1. Is Internet Marketing too crowded and competitive? Is it possible for someone starting out to really make an income online?
   
   
2. What are the best niches to make money online?
   
   
3. What should I do if I've never published anything online? How can I make visually appealing websites that will make sales?
   
   
4. Should I strive to sell digital products or actual physical products?
   
   
5. Is building a list really important? How much money can be made thru email marketing? Won't people just think it's SPAM?
   
   
6. Should I drive my traffic to a squeeze page or directly to a sales page?
   
   
7. Is affiliate marketing a good way to make money online? What are the better affiliate networks?
   
   
8. Is outsourcing worth it? How can I outsource to save time and generate profits?
   
   
9. What about taxes? Do I need to register with my state government? What should I do?
   
   
10. What's the true key to success? How can I really make thousands per month?
    

These are the questions. Right-click here to download and get his .pdf newsletter:

Of course not to mention is Rich Schefren and Mike Filsaime.

I'll write more about Rich and Mike in another blog post.

Cheers!

Day 221.0: My REALLY Once A Month Update

Wow!!!

This is like so UNREAL ... like it is the month of May and I am updating my Blog. So it is like it is true that I am only doing it ONCE-A-MONTH!!!

Ok... never mind...

So like I'm still yet to earn more than my initial investment in W4$3 and I feel quite down these days.

BUT... something like a short 5 minute video of Nick Vujicic (pronounced: Voo-ee-sich) made me sit up and stare into space... and allowed me to feel how blessed I am for having all the faculties of a normal person and how gratifying it feels.

One thing that I learn from watching Nick's video is:

"It is not 1st place that matters, but how you are going to finish it."

Take a look:



Imagine how he, without arms or legs, can still get up, and stand tall, triumphantly!

Imagine me, with arms and legs, can still fall down and not wanting to stand up triumphantly!

This cannot be....

Once in a while, I believe that God wants me to be in awe to His presence and that He may send a message to us via videos like this.

I am not sure why Nick is born without arms and legs but what he has, he is thankful for and he lives his life to the fullest like any able bodied person.

I learn a very important lesson from Nick:

That he can get up on his own even though he has no arms and legs.

That he can do the impossible(ie. stand up) even though he has no arms and legs.

That he lives his life to the fullest even when we see the odds stacked against him.

That we are all like Nick and that we can use the excuses that we have to live our life in self-pity, or we can use it to our best advantage and live a life fulfilled!

I'm not giving up on wanting to succeed in my W4$3 or my Internet Based Business.

I want to see myself succeed even though I feel like my "arms" and "legs" are not functioning.

I will succeed!

I will be thankful everyday of every good things that I am blessed each day!

Thank you!

Day 214.0: My Once a Month Update

Folks,

48 days has passed since my first day at work and I must say that I didn't have that much time or opportunity on my hands to update my W4$3 blog.

It seems like a once-a-month process.

One good news that I would like to share is that I've managed to get internet broadband access here.

YAHOO!

That was done as I had hoped, last month, that I wanted internet service in my home by April.

Not only me who has internet access in my precinct but also 10 other families here.

I think that it is a blessing that I had no Broadband Internet access here as I was forced to go out to get the people who could help me set it up and then eventually get a job with them and used that leverage to help my area get their Broadband Internet access. (STREAMYX)

Now it seems that I will be with this company in building a better company when we build a TMPoint in a more strategic location (Senawang).

So what's happened to my Internet Based Business?

I'm still promoting it via LeadsLeap.com and Lt-Plan.com.

BUT...it seems that this way is not growing my W4$3 biz so I may be looking at other ways of promoting it.

I've subscribed to my upline's newsletters and I'm going to implement some of his strategies.

Another thing that I've done is to get my hands on Mike Filsaime's Butterfly Marketing 2.0 home based training. Butterfly Marketing 1.0 was a USD$1,997.00 investment but this time, Mike decided to give BM2.0 away FREE!!!

I just had to pay for the shipping and handling: USD$39.95.

So, I am going thru his materials nowadays and I hope that I'll get some new insights and strategies in developing my Internet Marketing Business.

I really hope that I can make it in this because I feel that it is a perfect way to earn a living and still have lots of time with my loved ones.

Cheers!
