Received an email from Eric Holmund as I subscribe to his list. He shares the story of his friend Paul Counts who is an Internet Marketer that was recently scammed by a scammer for an ‘ad swap’.

Check out how arrogant this scammer is. He even admits that he is going all out to scam people for their money and justifies with his selfish reasons.

If you are an Internet Marketer or learning to be one, beware of such people. There are good guys like Eric who really teaches good Internet Marketing stuff but there are also bad guys like this ‘Andy’.

Just be careful. And by the way, Eric really shares very useful information on Internet Marketing do subscribe to his list for updates like this.

I found a gem. That’s because I attended this live webinar titled “How to make $100 a day with TINY Profit Machines” by Mark Ling and Paul Ponna teaching how to generate traffic and income using a new breakthrough software that is set to take over niche markets using video marketing.

Paul shared that video marketing is getting more and more important as search engines like Google are paying more attention to videos. And we all know that Youtube has billions of searches a day.

I launched another attempt at Google Adwords for one of my site with a landing page again. Previous attempts my costs outranked my sales.

This time, I have picked up some strategies from Wealthy Affiliate University PPC Course as well as Google Adwords Online Classsroom (you need to sign up). Do note the online classroom covers very basic fundamentals of Adwords hence it is especially useful for beginners or those that want to refresh their fundamentals.

Anyway, I am still waiting for Google to review and approve my campaign before it goes live. I am breaking my campaigns into more but smaller ad groups this time to see if I can do a better testing this time.

Wish me success!

6 sign ups today. Checked it’s due to my Adwords keywords cost went up. Guess competitors increased their bids. Checked on spyfu.com keyword is about $0.47 per click. Checked Ad no longer appearing on page 1. Considering if I want to increase my bid.

Anyway, I went through Chris Farrell‘s first lesson on Affiliate Marketing. Great information. Think I will complete that before I sign up for his membership.

I also started preparing for my ebook. It’s an introduction to beginners for making money on the Internet. Hope I can do a good job. I also signed up for a course on Photoshop basics. Will be starting on 24th May. It’s a part-time course that spreads over 8 weeks. Figured out it is better to know some design stuff than to outsource it.

This business is not going to be cheap. But I’m learning… all over again.

Quite an exciting result since this is my first attempt at building a list. I’m offering a 5 day course for my . . . → Read More: Day 5 – Adwords Testing]]>

Quite excited about today. My Adwords campaign is getting me 127 clicks (based on $10 budget). No sales for yet but I have about 20 sign-ups for my list (11 confirmed).

Quite an exciting result since this is my first attempt at building a list. I’m offering a 5 day course for my niche and may need to think of more content.

Anyway, I also spent $37 today to purchase an autoblogging software to add to my blog (not this one). Will monitor how well the software can help me.

I am going to share my experience for this . . . → Read More: The Ending And The Beginning]]>

It has been slightly more than a year since I started to get involved in internet marketing. From starting my first blog, to coming up with my first website, I’d say my journey is a fun but not a very rewarding one so far.

I am going to share my experience for this one year and I am going to end this blog’s origninal direction. They say ‘Fake It Till You Make It’. I’ve learned that this does not apply to me in my online journey.

Anyway, I’m just going to share my experience for this one year and start this blog from a different approach.

My experience:

My first site http://www.visiting-singapore.com started from SiteBuildIt. I paid for a one-year fee and started learning about how internet marketing works. Then I decided to select info marketing and started my site.

I learned about selecting niches, about keywords, about how to drive traffic. I began enthusiastically going around Singapore to take photos for my site. I used the block by block site builder as I was not familiar with html. I was so excited about my site when it finally appeared on the internet, page by page and even more so when it started appearing in google for some keywords. Nevertheless, what I am earning out of this site (mainly Adsense) is not enough to ensure its continuation. Hence, with effect from March this year, I transferred it to a fellow SBIer and I trust it will be in better care. It is doing great now as I continue to monitor its pageranks and Alexa results.

My second site http://changewifme.com started in July 2009. This was my continuation of my internet marketing exploration. I was told to start a blog, so I started one with wordpress.com. I updated stuff like the changes I was going through, the books I read, the decisions I made and some other stuff. Then, I learned that on wordpress.com sites you can’t put Adsense. So I learned about buying a domain name for my blog and learned how to migrate my wordpress.com blog to wordpress.org.

My third site http://empoweringday.com (this site) – This is a continuation of my previous site. I wanted to make it like a personal development blog and share stuff about personal development. I put some Adsense scripts on it and hoped for it to make me some money. Alas, you can’t get money without traffic. As you are reading now (if you happen to be reading), I rarely update this blog now. It is this blog that lets me see that I should not be blogging about something that does not interest me as it will bring me no where. Hence, I am redefining my interests and niches. I will have to relearn what I have learned and start from scratch. Luckily for me, I am still passionate about making money online and because of what I have learned, I am certain that I can eventually do it. I just need to continue to believe that my believe will become a reality.

I will stop blogging about empowering stuff on this blog. No more fake it till you make it stuff. Instead, from this point onwards, it will just be a diary for me to document my online journey. Just pure, honest updates. I will update what I know about Internet Marketing and the steps I take every day as I work online. I believe that my hosting expires in September this year and I hope that by then, I am already making money online.

Currently I own two other sites and I will be spending some time to build them. Both are niches of my interest although they are highly competitive.

I have learned much from the Internet in this year and I know that I have been making beginner’s mistakes – Not focused on my business and jumping from niche to niche. Hence, I have decided to put my focus to only two things – to stay focused on my two sites and to learn all I can about search engine optimization/marketing.

I have also chanced on a membership site that seems to give good value. I am undecided if I should join but I will certainly check out the site (non-member portion) first.

With this, I end empoweringday.com and I shall embark on a new beginning.

Meanwhile, there are . . . → Read More: Long time no update]]>

It’s been a while since I updated this blog. I’ve been busy with another site that focuses on sharing information about how to make money on the Internet. Been learning quite a fair bit these few weeks and I hope that what I learned can be put into good use.

Meanwhile, there are some challenges that I face in my Internet Marketing journey. The great thing about them are they let me learn and allows me to stay focused, very focused. Strategies were implemented, and changed. In fact, they are continuously changing.

I know I will see results soon…
