My Life As A Fun Loving Internet Marketer…

Hey guys. Am trying to go minimalist and own as few things as possible and have decided to throw a little gadget sale to get rid of all seldom used gadgets. As I live in Kuala Lumpur these items are only available to those living in KL. Here’s the list :

First up : My Arcam IR Ipod Dock. I bought this new from the UK but have since upgraded to all-in-one home cinema system that comes with a built in ipod dock. Perfect condition like new. Used maybe 3 times. Comes in box with manuals etc. Nothing missing and no scratches etc. Absolutely mint!

Got it new not more than 6 months ago for RM650. Selling for RM300

Next on the list : PSB Alpha LR1 Bookshelf Speakers. As I’ve upgraded to a new home cinema system I’ve got a whole set of speakers so don’t need these anymore. Bought them also not more than 6 months ago. Also mint condition.

Bought these new from the audio shop in Bangsar Village. Can’t remember exactly how much but roughly RM600-650 I think. Selling for RM350. Will also throw in a pair of Audio Quest speaker cables. One’s only 1 metre in length and the other one’s 3 meters.

Nintendo Wii. Yes have finally decided to sell my Nintendo Wii (sigh*). I used to play games like tennis, mario kart and house of the dead pretty often when I first got it but I hardly use it anymore Its a Japan modded version and everything .eg menus are in English. Good condition and works perfectly but the sensor cable was bitten off by a cat. I’ve connected it with electrical tape and it works fine. You’ll see how it looks in the picture below. Also throwing in 2x guns, numchuk, 2x controllers with silicone covers and the big gun (not sure what its called but you’ll see it in the photo). I’ll be giving you everything in the photo. No games on the hard disk but I’ve got some game disc’s that I’ll give you as well. House of the dead, Sports e.g tennis, Mario Kart, Resident Evil and few others.

Am also going to throw in my Sony Playstation Portable for free. I’ve lost the charger and the battery doesn’t work but if you buy a new battery and charger it’ll work just fine. It also hasn’t been used very much although I did purchase it a few years ago. Asking price : RM450 for everything.

Now for my apple products. Am selling my airport express. I bought it cause I wanted to print wirelessly from my laptop but I hardly ever to do and print mostly from my desktop. Only few months old. Also selling my Apple 30 inch display monitor. Had it for about 4 years and bought it new from Smack in Bangsar Village. I want to use a dual monitor setup and get two 27 inch monitors and that’s why am selling this. Works perfectly and no scratches. Mint!

Airport Express selling for : Rm150. Apple 30 inch display selling for : RM3000. If you buy the display I’ll throw in the airport express for free.

That’s all for now folks. Send me a message if you’re interested. If you buy a bunch of stuff I’ll give you more of a discount.

Its freeeeeezing here in Star Bucks and for a Sunday the Mid Valley traffic seems to be unusually clear. These days I try to fit in a reading day where I spend a couple of hours once a week just reading and going through my book list. I’ve found that I tend to spend too much time on my business that I hardly ever have any fun anymore. Mind you I do consider sitting in front of my pc and developing campaigns or reading blogs fun (minus the wrist blisters and the blurring images due to eye fatigue). Gosh I sound like such a geek…but then again who cares as long as I enjoy it.

Anyway….that brings me to the topic of todays post. I wrote a post last year about the purchase of my new iMac and how I couldn’t quite get the hang of it especially since a lot of the software I used ran only on Windows. Well…I’ve somehow gone back to using my Mac and parallels desktop (after getting extremely frustrated with my Windows Vista) and I feel like I’m on a highway as opposed to a dirt path. Things just work so much smoother on the Mac and I don’t get the sudden freezes or lag that I experienced with Vista. I’ve now decided to go Mac all the way. I currently have a 20″ iMac, a Vista laptop and desktop. I spend most of my time working on my Vista desktop (with a HP 22inch screen) and am now going to indulge in a Mac Pro. Imagine a Mac Pro with dual 30inch Apple Cinema Displays — sweet! Unfortunately the Mac Pro isn’t cheap and the 30 inchers are just pure indulgence so I’ll stick to using my HP 22inch for now….one step at a step i guess!

I’ve also just downloaded the new Google Chrome browser and am still playing around with it so can’t quite comment on anything yet but I must say it looks good and is quite speedy as well. I know some people who have actually ditched Firefox in favor of Google Chrome. Can’t say if I’m one of them but will keep you posted. Sigh* yet another browser platform to test my landing pages for…….

CPA Offers - yup its CPA all the way for me now. The only CPS offer I’m managing now are the ones that I built much earlier and were all Clickbank products. I’ve signed up to quite a few CPA networks and CPA conversions just rock! I go for the super high traffic niches. Since I’m gonna be spending time on a campaign it might as well have the potential to be really big.

I’ve been scratching my head for the longest time trying to install the Blackberry Desktop Manager on my new Vista machine. I previously had it running on my older XP machine without any problems. Initially I thought it was a problem with my pc so I rebooted it and still couldn’t get the BB desktop manager to install. I was using the disc that came with my Blackberry and I’ld click on the ‘Install’ link and nothing would happen for the next 3 minutes after which the installation would begin only to end up with an error message mid way.  Grrrr….

Something was definitely up. I use my Blackberry pretty much for everything and constantly fiddling around with it. I’m either listening to some internet marketing related MP3 or watching videos. Helps kill waiting time I figure. Anyway…I did a search on the net and couldn’t quite find any info straight away but eventually I came across a site that provided a solution. It didn’t take me long and lo and behold I managed to install the Desktop Manager without any problems. So here’s an excerpt from the site. Hopefully it’ll help all of you who are suffering the same fate

Vista for some reason doesnt register VBScript. What you have to do is first of all find where vbscript.dll is, mine was in C:\Windows\System32, but I think it changes dependant on your version. Next you need to go to start -> accessories and the right click on command prompt and click “run as administrator”, next type “cd C:\Windows\System32″ (replace the dir if its differnt for you) and then type “regsvr32 vbscript.dll”. It should then confirm that vbscript has been registered and everything should work.

Wow…I just realized that its been a good 2 months since I last posted on my blog. Guess I’ve been busy with Christmas preparations, New Year parties and now Chinese New Year celebrations. How time flies! Heres a quick update on whats been happening :-

1) My Adsense blog project has suddenly picked up

I mentioned in one my previous post (a couple of months ago) that I had a failed Adsense blog project. I have not touched my blog since and lo and behold when I checked my blog traffic stats I was blown away. If you remember this blog is just a collection of articles (from articles directories) with a couple of Adsense ads plastered all over. Within 3 months I had massive traffic and a month after traffic just screeched to a halt where I was getting 20 visitors a day and negligible Adsense income. Since then I have not touched the blog. Today I did a quick check on the traffic stats and guess what? Have a look at my traffic screenshot below :-

I’ve actually been getting on average 500 unique visitors a day. How did that happen? I then had a look at my Adsense account and I made $15 last month. Not bad eh considering I’ve hardly worked on this blog at all. Now I’m inspired to put more effort into it and will look into inserting some unique content and testing & tweaking Adsense placement.

This year has come and gone in a blink of an eye lid and its my 1 year anniversary! It was almost a year ago when I first got into internet marketing. In this year alone I believe I’ve achieved what only most struggling newbies can dream off. I quit my day job, earn many times more that what I earned at my day job, sit at my desk overlooking lush greenery, work whenever I feel like it and best of all, I finally got rid of that darn alarm clock! Am not saying this to brag but to tell you that it can be done and I’m a living example. Did I have a lot of cash to lay down? NO Did I have any IT knowledge whatsoever before I started? Barely..yes i could answer emails and chat on MSN but that was it! How did I get there? I would sum it up in 2 words - Learn & Action…
