Happy 50th Merdeka!
It’s mid-day of 31 August 2007 - but as long as I’m still on the 31st, it’s still not too late to wish it anyway. So here goes:
Happy 50th Merdeka Malaysia!

My Gundam is as patriotic as me that he insisted to be draped in Malaysia flag and be photographed.
So what are you doing on this Merdeka day?
Paypal with updated image
I just noticed about the change on PayPal’s logo when I logged into their site just now. If you haven’t noticed yet, PayPal actually revamp the layout some time back, while still keeping their old logo.
Old logo:

Almost got that US$50 post, again!
And that’s about it - ALMOST!
I almost got it again! Kanasai - US$50 post unsegmented and more importantly, still in white, unreserved colour, doesn’t come by so often. I was so happy that I clicked on it immediately, and waited like forever for it to load the opportunity page. And another forever after i clicked on Reserve Opportunity and keyed in the Captcha key to reserve.
Just to be served with this phrase in red:
“All of the available posts for that opportunity have already been taken.”
Maybe i should really take a break, and check in to any condo hotels and just forget about this. *sigh*
And oh - in case you are confused on what I’m talking about, i’m referring to PayPerPost 1K Tuesday.
Arrgghhh!!
Suffer a bit
I neglected one thing that i should be doing in blogging - visit other related blogs & comment. Thus, I can see that traffic coming in to my blogs somehow suffer a bit, and that really shows in Alexa ranking. I noticed the drop when i slowed down my paid posts like 2-3 months back. Partly due to my intermittent internet connection as well.
What’ll have to do now is to swallow some hoodia pills, skip lunch (and dinner maybe) and start visiting people’s blogs and clicking blog links at PetalingStreet.org. I used to do that a lot when the Internet connection was more stable. I guessed I have to go back to that time, with my Internet connection now more stable.
More traffic, more exposure, more chance? ![]()
Make money and save it
By writing paid posts, i have extra money to save. When i wasn’t writing any paid posts (and the extra pocket money), i literally didn’t have much to keep. After paying all the bills, whatever money that have left is literally for food, and gas. And that’s it.
The salary every month goes to paying for loan - car, study loans, utility bills and insurance for both me & wife. We are just lucky that our house mortgages haven’t really started yet.
Now - have to really start looking for ways to trim. One way is by spending lesser. Eat less fancy & fast food, and more economy rice. Write more paid posts, and look for other ways to earn that extra pocket money helps too. Hmm… maybe doing overtime helps as much - i haven’t been doing overtime for quite some time now!

Merdeka for me too?
In 2 days time, Malaysia would be celebrating it’s 50th anniversary of Independence. Me? I’ll be sitting in the office, working - with overtime of course!. I was thinking of what I could do on Merdeka day to show that I’d give anything for the country.
Hmm - maybe i should stop writing paid post for that one day. Maybe i should be celebrating Merdeka myself. Merdeka means being independence in Malay, so i should just stay clear from people paying me to write blog post
But i really have to hit my personal target first before not writing anything on that day
Else, i may have to head over to poker tables to meet my target ![]()
Blog directory marketing
If you are doing Internet marketing, and using your blog to either market your product or helps with your business, you’ll need to find ways to to promote your blog, and have it right up any search engines using your targetted keywords, right? One way that’s normally been overlook by a lot of people is the fact that they should put up their blogs in blog directory like Alive Directory for better coverage.
Why? Same concept applies to Yellow Pages. You look up Yellow Pages when you need to find florist. You look up Yellow Pages to find plumber. Blog directories does the same thing - they list the blogs according to their topics for your easy reference. In other words, if you need coverage, and better pagerank (read: better search engine hits), you would want to invest in blog directory, and none other than Alive Directory

No idea
There has been too many debts and loans opportunities in PayPerPost recently that I think twice in taking any opportunities from them these days. I don’t know - probably I have taken a few myself that I have somehow out of idea on what to write about them anymore.
Anyway, i think that’s part of what you have to do if you want to earn some money from blogging. I actually think it’s great as it really induced my mind to think further before actually writing.
Hmm… thinking again, maybe i should get another lcd monitor so that it’s easier for me to do stuffs - play games or watching movie on full screen while watching closely for any new opportunities on another screen
Sounds crazy right?
CRM software saves your business
In any businesses, customers are considered the king - if you get my drift. So, in order to serve your customer better, you’ll need to have some kind of system to keep your customer’s details. In this day and age, computer has definitely help us a lot, and that should continue to be the case in keeping customer’s data.
Any smart businessmen know that they’ll need to understand Customer Relationship Management, or CRM in short, to understand more about their customer. With efficient crm software like AIMPromote, customer data, information and sales details could be captured and retrieved fast.
But what’s all that without leads, right? I mean, all the information would also be useless if you can’t make any sales. AIMPromote can prevent that by using lead management dashboard to alert you in any changes in customer preferences. That way, you can take all the necessary precautions and do the changes necessary to continue getting the lead back in your favour.
You can say that the success of your business depends on how well you manage your customer and your sales leads. Manage them well (with AIMPromote to help) and you shall be on your way of the riches!

Same place, same thing
Here I was again yesterday, same place as where i was last Sunday. That’s right - E-gate Starbucks. And there’s no prize for guessing it right - my Internet connection is still very much down.
If you happened to be there last night, and saw a guy sitting inside with a yellow shirt at one corner with one pretty looking lady, that’s probably me. Yep - my wife was with me last night. I think both of us is getting to like Starbucks more like we may have like having Orlando rental home as property.
See what will happened again tonight - if the connection still sucks, i may have to come back again during the weekends ![]()
