Hi Everyone, just want to say meRRy XmAs and a Happy New Year to anyone who is still sober from the Xmas Parties.

I am not a Christian but I have always enjoyed this festive season (there is a sense of happiness amid the dark times).  And it was nice to have a Kentucky Fried Chicken family feast, as well as some sushi with my family (too bad my mum had to work late).  And this will be my beloved niece’s 2nd Xmas.  She has been eyeing the presents I have for her.

(borrowed this belowed picture from freetrafficsystem.com and will be writing a post about them soon)

I know it has been a long time since I have updated this blog with any new posts but writing is not really my forte i guess.  Anyway, another few days and the new year is upon us too.  So it is time for reflections, for new targets (or in my case, renewing my old targets).  These are the questions that always pop up in my head every year end (yes, I tend to talk to myself):

- So how was your year?

- Do you see progress or do you feel stagnant?

- Do you feel you have moved a level higher in your IM progress or still stuck at the same position?

- What should be done to improve?

For me, this year was a roller coaster ride.  Income went up and down and discipline was really a challenge to maintain.  And time really flies.  I quit my job and started a full time business online on 1st September 2008 and now is almost till the end of 2009. Wow!

The beginning first six months was pretty ok, and july till October was pretty bad, and now, things seem to be looking up again.  There are so many adjustments and seriously speaking, I am still not really in the “responsibility” mode for my business.

But things are improving.

- I started without any partners in business but ended the year with 2 great business partners (yes, you, Ben and John).

- Got myself a new mentor, and a few of us are learning so much from a certain marketer that is imparting so much skills to us (will soon be revealed).

- Finally found 2 great and hardworking writers (who are on a month long xmas break)

And since there are 6 more days to the new year, I figure I will write some resources that has helped, guided and showed me some ways to leverage time.  And to share with everyone in the next 6 days before I disappear without a post in the new year.

So enjoy the Xmas holidays, the new year holidays, and hope that the world will be a better place (the climate is pretty screwed up these days but no harm in being optimistic).

Always believe in the law of attraction, and just think about having better times and higher income, and through your actions, it will come. (I am telling myself this, but you are welcome to share this optimism as well)

Happy Holidays, Merry Xmas and a Happy Year too!

Andrew

I am finally free.  My holiday starts from the 19th of June all the way until the 13th of July 2008! Woo HOO!!

After being so busy working and trying to balance so many projects, I can finally do what I am interested, which is to Bum Market Back To Financial Freedom!

But First……Holiday to bangkok!

Will start updating regularly once I am back.  Will also do a full review of my fellow Internet Marketing’s new ebook too.  He is regularly earning 4 figure income, always focus and hardworking (you should see his mindmaps in his exercise books), and I will reveal to you his new ebook that requires to get into the action to the tune of earning $1000 to $2000 online!

Stay tune…..

Hi Everyone,

First of all, happy mothers to all the mothers out there.  Thanks for all the hard work, including my mum.  Though my mother’s day dinner was pretty funny that we ended up eating MacDonald instead of a proper restaurant, it was at least finally having the entire family having dinner together.Felt good.

As for the restaurant who did not serve us our food after waiting one hour, just wish you will not do that to another customer again.

And next of all, happy birthday to myself.  Thanks my girlfriend for being the first person to wish me too.  (As well as those little characters in your house.)

Assessment For May 2007 to May 2008:

Looking back at one year ago, when i first started my IM discovery, things have certainly moved on, though at a very slow pace.  Took me 9 months to realize that earning money is all about action and another 3 months of writing articles, testing with Adwords, selling Private Label Rights as well as outsourcing.

Sadly, for the month of May, I barely do anything due to my work but counting down to another 3 weeks and I will roughly get a 3 week to 1 month break from work to concentrate on IM and tie up some loose ends.

Till Date: Earnings for this whole year was only $1k plus but my spending on education was definitely more than at least $4k.  So this is a deficit.

Resolution For May 2008 to May 2009

Ultimate Aim: To turn full time and bring in a monthly figure of minimum $3k.

Currently: Bringing in $100 per month.  So I am way off my mark of $3k.  But most importantly, actions are becoming clearer of what works and what does not.

Visualization Target:

- Find partners and spur each other on

- Be an expert in one traffic source

- Outsource, outsource, outsource

- Create 3 personal products

- Be conducting my own IM class by the end of next year.

So let’s get cracking.  First up, my full time IM adventure starts on June 08, after quitting my job.  Woo Hoo!

Regards,

Andrew

Hi friends,

Bum Marketing Daily Diary

I am going to use this blog as a daily diary of what I do everyday in order to generate the money I am targeting. I am not sure who will be interested by I realized that a blog is the best place I can record my daily actions, better than writing it in excel spreadsheet. So from today onwards, I will try as much to update this blog daily, but it may not be anything interesting for anyone to read as I will just be recording my daily actions.

This will serve as a reminder of what I do everyday and whether it is productive and how long did it took all these actions to bear any fruit. Anyway, my monthly progress reports starts on the 16th of every month to the following month 15th. No business expenses will be included since I have totally lost count and it is definitely too much money I have spent.

—————————————————————————

My progress report for 2007 are as follows:

Amount made from clickbank in 2007: $192.90

Amount made from bluehost: $455

Amount made from blogs:$20

Amount from CPA: $10

Total from May 2007 to December 2007: $677.9

Earnings Per Month Average: $677.9 divide by 8 months, round off to $84

Earnings Per Day: $84 divide by 30 days = $2.8

Total Articles Written:40

Subscribers: 19

Total Websites Created: 5 websites but only 1 making a bit of money.

Total Squidoo Pages: 2

Verdict: Too much learning, too much waiting and not enough actions taken to increase sales and increase traffic. Waste time reading too many blogs as well.

—————————————————————————

Progress For 2008:

After reading 5 bucks a day, I decided to change my behaviour. The book was not very great in terms of learning anything new about making more money on the internet but the key point I learned was the point about setting clear daily, monthly and eventual targets and constantly reminding myself about my goals, and continue taking actions. I have slack for the first 8 months of learning about Internet Marketing and though I know about bum marketing, I did behave more like a bum than marketing it more often.

So on Jan 08, I set my new targets to achieve $100 per month and get hit 100 subscribers for my niche (definitely not internet marketing niche).

—————————————————————————

Period Jan 15 to Feb 15 (Target: Earn $100 And Reach 100 Subscribers):

Click bank Sales: $66.75

Total Subscribers from 2007: 19

Total Subscribers in this period: 39

Total Subscribers: 19 + 39 = 58

Target Amount Failed: $100 – $66.75 = $33.25

Total Subscribers Failed: 100 – 52 = 48

Total Articles Written: 12

Total Websites Created: 1 (But no sales generated from it so far.)

Total Squidoo Pages: 0

Remarks: Was having fever, cough and flu. Total sick for 3 weeks.

Verdict: Target Failed

—————————————————————————

Period Mar 16 to Mar 15 (Target: Earn $100 And Reach 100 Subscribers):

Click bank Sales: $85.47

Affiliate X Sales: $10

Mass Control: $15

Total Sales: $110.47

Total Subscribers From Last Month: 58

Total Subscribers in this period:50

Total Subscribers: 58 + 50 =108

Target Amount Achieved: $110.47

Total Subscribers Achieved: 108

Total Articles Written: 43

Remarks:

—————————————————————————

Period Mar 16 to Mar 15 (Target: Earn $200 And Reach 200 Subscribers):

Hi Friends,It’s been a tired day and in Singapore time, it is already 3:30am in the morning. I know I should be sleeping but this video was too funny that you just have to watch again.

Just want to share this with everyone and enjoy the weekends.
