My Long Lost Twin Blog Wants To Be Famous…

After nearly 8 months of blogging, I found my twin online today. Not physically a real twin though (I will be shocked…), but I do not mind having a real sister… oops… ok… back to the real issue.

What Happened Actually?

One of the “to kill time” activities that I would like to do while working in my full time job is to do searches for anything, everything and even looking up this blog to see its standings over the search engine.

Then… To my surprise I saw one of my posts appearing in one of the search results as seen below:

I was just thinking to myself – “Since when did I post something to Squidoo? Did Squidoo just come up with something innovative, decide to pick up bits and pieces over the internet and include one of my posts to their directory?”

This is of course very exciting for something new and that Affilicore is picking up some “look-see” in the search engine. So I clicked on that link.

Hmmm…

Who is this Thomas_T? I do not know him at all. But what he has posted is exactly the same as what I have posted here. How did I really know? He has to leave my site name in his page (He should have put a link back, that will give him some positive credit and good karma in return!)

But one good thing about him that’s worth admiring – he changed my affiliate link to his own! Further exploring will make you realize that he has created 65 lenses “from scratch” as shown on his Squidoo Profile page! Do you think you can find your own post in one of his lenses as well?

What To Take Note From Here?

There are many good bloggers out there who are contributing so so so much to the online marketing community. Therefore Good efforts = Good Rewards. But with “wannabes” trying to gain popularity based on other’s hard work and get rewarded for that. Do you think this should be the right way?

Erm Thomas_T, if you do happen to read this, and you actually get sales from that post, do you think I should get a share? How about other owners that you may have earned? Do you think they should be rewarded as well?

A Deeper Look Into Jimmy D Brown’s Six Figure Formula

Good to be back from my very first time Army Reservist Training (2 weeks long).

Are You Networking Today For Your Online Business?

One good thing that I have learned to appreciate from this training, despite the fact that I am locked out from the outside world, is the networking chances you can get with new strangers.

Seems like there is a growing trend of Internet marketers now and I happened to know one – he preferred to remain low profile and quietly earns his “pocket money” from the internet.

When I started this blog with an aim to promote affiliate products, seem like this “friend” of mine is already doing so – illegal and legal ways and making better money as we are speaking.

All About Jimmy D. Brown

When I spoke to him about Jimmy D. Brown, seems like he knew much about him and was commenting that he started his online marketing partly based on what Jimmy D. Brown has taught in his Six Figure Formula E-coaching.

Out of good will and also because of my constant pestering, I begged him to let me peep into one (just one) of his teaching material. He agreed to let me have a copy of the first lesson.

I got hold of the First Lesson and was quite shocked to find that the material is since 2006 (two years old material) but still applicable in today’s context.

Formulate A Strategy

In the First Lesson of the Jimmy D. Brown’s Six Figure Formula, the key to getting started is to formulate a strategy. One of the rave reviews for Jimmy D. Brown is that he makes his training easy to follow. I must agree on that. He divides his materials into three parts:

Building Blocks -> Core Concept -> Assignments

Building Blocks

Ongoing with the training. He challenges you and me to analyze our real need which is “what do we think we need in order to make money online?” He then offers his own answers which really make sense and worth gold.

If you have bought many materials out in the market sharing that to make money online is to look for niches – Jimmy D. Brown begs to differ and give you his preference. Next, you get 3 Simple Rules for choosing a market.

Core Concept

The next challenge is to ask yourself: “in order to make as much money as you want, what three things do you need to get it done?” Do not worry, you don’t have to scratch your head on this, you are provided with Jimmy’s tips. Also, if you want to learn how to be productive in your daily tasks and achieve the same success as Jimmy D. Brown, this is the part you have to take note.

Why? This section actually shows Jimmy D. Brown’s daily schedule behind his “3 hours each day” online success.

You’ll also get 3 keys that can help you and me to make money with the least amount of effort. Think of being lazy but yet making money!

Then finally get 5 ways to make the most of your time which also means being efficient.

Assignment

At this juncture of reading that lesson, I can say that I started to have a heating passion to follow exactly what is being shared in that very first lesson. What is being shared seems easy to follow, applicable and achievable.

With all the teachings in place, the final thing to concentrate and put what is being learned to practice is to do the assignments.

If you are into this 4 weeks e-coaching, one good deal is being able to email your assignments to Jimmy D. Brown and have him to give you some good suggestions on how to improve. Worth your investment!

Hosting Bug or Bug in WordPress 2.6 – On Visual Editor

Just encountered a bug which I have no idea on its origin – my Hosting Package or within WordPress 2.6 itself? But after doing a search, seems like both can be the culprits.

The bug, if you should encounter, is this: When you are creating a new post (within WordPress 2.6), the format of posting style is only in HTML format, though the tab is on the Visual. To really confirm that the bug exists, try clicking on the HTML tab, you will not be able to click to it.

The actual link that you can read more on is this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/190092 and http://wordpress.org/support/topic/165449/page/2?replies=53#post-794848

The Solutions that I have tried are this, in chronological orders:

  • Remove the Browser Cache and Internet Files
  • Change CHMOD (permission settings to files) to 777 for files:
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/blank.html
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/license.txt
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce.js
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_ext.js
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_popup.js
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/wordpress.css
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-mce-help.php
  • Both methods did not work well for me, so I decided to try out this new method:
    • Remove the cache javascript file from the /wp-content/uploads/js_cache folder.
    • Completely delete the contents of the /wp-includes/js.
    • Copy of the contents of the js folder from the wordpress installation files.
    • Run up your admin page and check to see if its fixed.

The above and last method works like wonders and finally solve this issue. If you do have a similar issue, do a back-up of your database first and try the above methods to resolve this issue.

If you have other successful methods, please do share with other readers here. Thanks in advance!

Been a cool six days of no posting here. Sorry for that. I was being called back to serve the army and was only able to have two days of resting time today and tomorrow (due to Singapore’s 43th Birthday Holiday). The next I am able to post anything here will be after the 20th August.

That’s just a short notice.

Case Study: Zoomii and Amazon Web Services

I was reading my online newspaper site a few days ago and I came across one corner article sharing the “Website Of The Day” and that article was featuring Zoomii.com – an online bookstore featuring all the books (almost) on Amazon.com.

Also I shared with you back then my posting on “Are You Using Amazon Web Services Technology?” So happen, this site is related to what I have posted.

And for you, this is another real case study that you as an affiliate marketers or budding entrepreneurs can use as an effective business blueprint.

So let’s take a good look into this “lucrative” business model:

  1. The creator of the site has a passion for books and goes to a bookstore often. This is a niche market for him. What passion do you have that can be translated to a business?
  2. This is not a new online bookstore that’s trying to compete with Amazon.com. Rather this is a collaboration and a win/win situation for both. The creator of the site is an affiliate of Amazon Associates Program. Any sales of the books will give him a commission and a good sales relationship with Amazon.com. Ideal Affiliate Marketing!
  3. Gone are the days of deep programming… Why so? This site is hosted on Amazon Web Services – the EC2 and S3 services. If you are interested in using some of the products and services that Amazon.com is offering and will like to save time on creating a storefront (not the same as Zoomii.com). Check out this link: http://solutions.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=1260
  4. With revolutionizing technologies like FireFox 3 (loading speed) and the iPhone (the site has a few similar interface) – you do not have to worry about issues like the “site is lagging and taking donkey years to load”. What does this mean to you – you are not alone online. Whatever plans you may have for your “next big thing”, there are ready technologies that you can tap into.
  5. Making Better Money Online is faster than before. This site is just more than a month old and many are already picking up the existence of such a site. What this will mean is that if you have a feasible idea or a good affiliate product to promote – work on it, as soon as possible, and let the internet and the media pick them up for you!

There you go! So for all the affiliate marketers and entrepreneurs out there… work on your products and marketing today and make better money! And for all book-lovers out there, you have another bookstore to go to today, not the physical one but the online Zoomii.com.
