In early Mar 08, i talked about using facebook in your networking and since then…my network has balloon to over 250+ buddies and i make a lot of new friends, including those big names! And i have many connections from there.

Check it out here!

Man, you simply couldn’t under-estimate the power of the social media network.

To talk more about that, i started to explore into another web2.0 tool that many people are using, that’s Twitter! Have you been twittering??

Add me here!

In fact i just started playing with them yesterday and i have already got 2 people following me. I really like the idea of social media stuff where you can connect with almost anybody on the planet earth as long as they are on the internet.

I see that social media or web2.0 is the way business should move forward, even for a small business like home-based internet business.

Every business is really about connection, and connection would not happen overnight! You need time to build it.

So do something today, and connect with people in your market and you will never know who you will came across.

Talk soon,

Thomas

PS: Do you believe that i connected with Steve Job from Apple?

I have been exploring one of the most powerful tool developed by Google..called Google Hot Trends.

Some of you might have seen it or even used it in one way or another.

What Google Hot Trends does is it publishes the hottest 100 keywords that the United States people are searching…The world’s biggest online market. The cool thing is that Google update this list 10 times a day, so the keyword that you see is fresh from the oven.

So, how to make use of this tool?  I would discuss one here…

You can explore this list for the event based keyword, like “valentine day” or “easter day”.

I can almost assure you that during those event, the volume of the most relevant keyword would  surge through the roof! For a at least one week, depends on the nature of the event.

So, you can look for the related affiliate product or related CPA lead offer to promote at Google, YSM or even MSN Adcenter.

I grabbed a few of the keywords and throw out some campaigns, hey! They convert and turn a profit.

Tips: even the non-relevant keyword works for me in this case.

>> For friends at Ewen Chia Gathering,

I really hope you enjoyed what I have shared with you at the gathering or through my report. It’s my pleasure anyway.

Hey, i still want to say something loud and clear (for those who have an internet dream and have not started anything for whatever  reason, you owe it to yourself, you have more than enough knowledge to start a real internet business, so do it now.)

I would like to hear from you on the “special report” that you guys got from me, be it a thank you, how you use it, testimonial, comments, questions or anything…

Hey, it’s weekend and i did some readings and found a new technology that Google is developing..I’m speechless.

Find out why.

It’s really the latest technology at its play. I’m sure you are familiar with the Google Map service which is very easy to use and i personally find it easy to find any place on earth, just type in any location and Google will bring you round the whole world in seconds! There’s no other service that is such powerful at this moment.

Now, with the same platform, Google is bringing the whole universe, galaxy onto your browser. Period.

Go try it. It’s really mind blowing. Go take a tour round the sun….

Thumbs up, Google Sky!

Until next time,
Thomas

I read. I used it.

Here’s the whole truth about that…I downloaded a complete free swipe file from Rich Schefren’s Strategic Profits blog.

This swipe file list the best phrases that can get your readers to keep more attention on you, if use correctly.

Read the blog post here.

I have a folder keeping all these swipe files and it is really useful when you run out of words to use for any copywriting purpose.

Enjoy and Make good use of it.

Have you been doing something today to continuing building up your internet business??

It is definitely a tough question!

Because I know, Internet business get a lot of distraction, here and there, everywhere.

I would just discuss one example today. I bet you must be on many “Guru” mailing list…and you are getting daily emails from them!

Hey, i know this, because I have been doing that!

No..don’t get me wrong, not that I’m not reading their emails, it is always good to know what is happening online and normally most of the “gurus” will be talking about it at the fastest  possible time.

The problem is…if you start reading their emails and their website / blog / videos…or anything. One after another, you will be left with no time to do your own thing.

In fact, you don’t need to know everything to start making money online, i guess even if you take a free ebook talking about PPC, you can still make money if you go and do it.

Yeah! the key here is “Do IT”.

So, what i am doing nowadays to keep my mind focus is to do my own thing first, then read the emails i am interested in.

Make sense right? Mind your own business first, not others!

I bet you must have tons of ebooks / videos / courses lying around your computer, desks or anything?? Stick to one of the best one, and keep doing it. Believe me, you will get results.

Let me know what you think.

until next time,

Thomas

I bet most of you have a Facebook account..

Check out my profile here.

In case you are not aware, Facebook has since becoming one of the biggest online social website and the rate of growth is really tremendous!

How can you really make use of this website to increase the awareness of your online business? Many people have come out with ebooks and home courses to teach you on that, in fact you don’t need to.

Go and use it, try it, feel it! That’s the best way, I guess.

In fact, when i first started using this little website, i was like not so used to it. The interface is so simple. If you noticed, Myspace has recently modified their interface and do something quite similar to Facebook, they have realised the power of this little competitor has created. It has also since become the little giant in the social industry. Go to Alexa and check out the graph, you will be Amazed! And if you do a comparison of Myspace with Facebook traffic trend, you will noticed that they are actually going at different path. Go and take a look.

Now, this is how i used Facebook.

1. First step

Create an account if you have not done so, it takes only few seconds.

2. Second step

Put in some simple information that you want to share with the future friends. Write something simple and put your website on your profile. This can create a lot of awareness for your business(Free Traffic for you!), i guess any business is about creating awareness and branding yourself.

3. Third step

Go and make friends! As simple as that. Now…don’t spam the people. Make real friends and start talking to them, see what they are doing online..If you are found spamming, your account may get banned, check out their profile. You can make some great friend there. The idea behind Facebook founder is that, Internet is full of spamming nowadays and people are sick of it. Just look at Myspace.

Now, you never know when you will need friend.

In fact i have some good networking and deals being made through the network…so this is what I have experienced and you should do it also.

Tip: Check out some of the famous internet marketer profile and make friends with them and theirs too!

That’s how i started in Facebook. You don’t need to spend the whole day looking at Facebook (in fact some people does!). Just do it consistently, daily, and your network will grow very fast.

When you have certain amount of network, people will add you naturally.

Tip: People want to make friends with people that has many friends, sounds logical right?

Okay. That’s all for today. I will share with you more about that later on…

Don’t forget to add me there!
