Posted by Andrew Wee in : affiliate marketing , 3 comments

I was checking out community members who’d visited my blog over at MyBlogLog and checked out fellow Singapore Leonard Chen’s blog, especially his entry: Here comes the Affiliate Blog list.

It looks like Scott Jango might be on to starting something viral with his post: Have You Got An Affiliate Marketing Blog?

As you’re expect, the big guns of Affiliate Marketing: Ros Gardner, Shoemoney, Linda Buquet, Shawn Collins, Kris Jones, are already on the list, though I’d expect it’s just a matter of time before the likes of Ewen Chia, PlanetAndrea and Jon F appear too.

Social Networking 101: Use the Internet 5 Exposure Strategy to Fasttrack Your Internet Marketing Credibility

Posted by Andrew Wee in : social traffic , 6 comments

You’ve heard the axiom that it takes 7 exposures to establish trust and credibility before your prospect makes a buying decision.

Eg. A person sees a mention for a new beverage (eg. a horseradish-flavoured soda) on a website, sees a celebrity endorsement, receives a flyer in the mail, on 7 occasions before they buy it to try it out.

At the same time, it’s bigger than Internet Marketing and at the same time, will play a large part in whether you will be a success, a failure, or an Internet Marketing Superstar.

My buddy, Rachit, just pubished a post about his travails as an online entrepreneur. It’s quite a good read. Head over to: A Tough Ending To My First Year As An Entrepreneur

Another buddy of mine, Ryan, faced a similar situation a couple of months ago: Do what you love, love what you do.

All of us will hit stumbling blocks in the course of daily life. Whether it’s in our career, in a relationship or in a business venture.

Anyone can do well when the chips are in their favor.

Harvest Keywords in Your Sleep And Make Big Money

Posted by Andrew Wee in : Internet Marketing , 3 comments

Keywords are essential for all aspects of online marketing.

If you’re a blogger, you want to optimize your post titles and/or categories to include keywords so you can be found easily.

If you’re an affiliate marketer, the optimal keywords will help you target your paid ad to a searcher’s preferences.

If you’re an Internet surfer, type the right keywords into the search engine will ensure that you will find relevant information.

If you’re a product creator, you might like to create niche websites based around high value keywords.

A whole industry has sprung up around providing these keywords.
