Working Hard or Smart?

Tuesday 8 July 2008 @ 3:39 am

Its already been quite a while since I last entered a blog. Some of my friends email me to remind me that updating the blog regularly is a must. Well, I have been busy building websites from my freelance projects and I was not able to concentrate on affiliate marketing.

Anyway perhaps not updating my blog has been a blessing in disguise. I was able to
recall a story from Robert Kiyosaki’s Book - Cashflow Quadrant. The story is very interesting because it shows to kinds of contractors. One that starts immediately and the other one went into planning before implementing the project that has been awarded.

Once upon a time there was this quaint little village. It was a great place to live except for one problem. The village had no water unless it rained. To solve this problem once and for all, the village elders decided to put out to bid the contract to have water delivered to the village on a dialy basis. Tow people volunteered to take on the task and the elders awarded the contract to both of them. They felt that a little competition would keep prices low and insure a back up supply of water.

The first of the two people who won the contract. Ed, immediately ran out, bought two galvanized steel buckets and begin running back and forth along the trail to the lake which was a mile away. He immediately began making money as he labored morning to dusk hauling water from the lake with his two buckets. He would empty them into the large concrete holding tank the village had built. Each morning he had to get up before the rest of the village awoke to make sure there was enough water for the village whne it wanted it. It was hard work, but he was very happy to be making money and for having one of the two exclusive contracts for this business.

The second winning contractor, Bill, diappeared for a while. He was not seen for months, which made Ed very happy since he had no competition. Ed was making all the money.
Instead of buying two buckets to compete with Ed, Bill had written a business plan, created a corporation, found four investors, employed a president to do the work, and returned six months later with a construction crew. Within a year his team had built a large volume stainless steel pipeline which connected the village to the lake.

At the grand opening celebration, Bill announced that his water was cleaner than Ed’s water. Bill knew that there had been complaints about dirt in Ed’s water. Bill also announced that he could supply the village with water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Ed could only deliver water on the weekdays…he did not work on weekeneds. Then bill announced that he would charge 75% less than Ed did for this higher quality and more reliable source of water. The village cheered and ran immediately for the faucet at the end of Bill’s pipeline.

In order to compete, Ed immediately lowered his rates by 75%, bought two more buckets, added covers to his buckets and hauling four buckets each trip. In order to provide better service, he hired his two sons to give him a hand for the night shift and on weekends. When his boys went off to college, he said to them, “Hurry back because someday this business will belong to you.”

For some reason, after college, his two sons never returned. Eventually Ed has employees and union problems. The union was demanding higher wages, better benefits, and wanted its members to only haul one bucket at a time.

Bill, on the other hand, realized that if this village needed water then other villages must need water too. He rewrote his business plan and went off to sell his high speed, high volume, low cost, and clean water delivery system to villages throughout the world. He only makes a penny per bucket of water delivered, but he delivers billions of buckets of water everyday. Regardless if he works or not, billions of people conume billions of buckets of water, and all that money purs into his bank account. Bill had developed a pipeline to deliver money to himself as well as water to the villages.

Bill lived happily ever after and Ed worked hard for the rest of his life and had financial problems forever after. The end….

Success does not only comes to the one who works hard but also to the one who work smart. Hope you enjoy and has been inspired.

Good Luck and more power to us.
Happy Marketing.

American Idol Phenomenon

Thursday 24 April 2008 @ 3:28 am

My wife is an avid fan of American Idol and she watch the show relentless. Aside from that she spend countless hours reviewing the opinions from fans about the performance of each contestant.

In today’s show there are about 38 million votes that came in. And this just the flock from the United States. I wonder if they have statistics for international viewers. What’s my point? 38 million viewers and they are also potential customers. Selling only a dollar to this followers will give you 38 million dollars. Well, this is only a rough estimate.

Itunes is selling 0.99 per download, you multiply that by the number of viewers then you have your gross sales. Impressive.

Perhaps this might be the computation done by the “ebook gurus” low price + sell it to the masses and there you have it “millionaire”.

Well, but one need to solve how are we going to reach the “million flock”.

Hmmm. Now this is one strategy to consider.

more power reaching our “million flock”.

by the way bye Carly -

Green Affiliates?

Wednesday 9 April 2008 @ 5:10 pm

You might already heard on the news, radio and most likely on the Internet, almost every activist on the planet are calling the heed to being green.
Being green is becoming earth friendly.  This means using things including gadgets, appliances, even hair sprays that are eco friendly.  More and more companies are already trying to make products that are earth riendly.  Solar panels for your home, rechargeable solar iPod, chargers for your Notebook computers, etc.  The treehugger.com reports that the solar power industry is growing amazingly.  Excerpt of the news:

“The salmon-pink Financial Times reports today that the solar equipment industry is on a path to grow amazingly fast: From 20 billion dollars last year to 90 billion dollars in 2010. “Profit growth is expected to accelerate even faster, as costs are contained, pushing margins up to nearly 60 percent.” These high profits hopefully will mean more capital investments into production facilities and R&D (which will help further decrease costs), and more companies entering that sector.”

This means that the demand for renewable sources of energy is increasing not
only for the businesses but also for home use.

Well, the bad news is that there is still not yet many affiliates program to join in this booming industry but some of the Internet Marketers are already positioning their domains to this industry.

Take a look at this  posting from digital-forums:

Should you invest now or wait?  Depends on you long term goals.  First mover have always the first hand.

more power.

Google’s New Policy Change

Saturday 29 March 2008 @ 5:24 pm

Google has advised its publisher that there is new policy on being a publisher. If you are an existing adsense publisher you will see the new policy once you log-in to your account. You need to agree on this policy before continuing to log-in to your account.

One of the provision of the new google policy is adding a privacy policy page on every page that show google adsense. Thsi is easy if you own a relatively small number of websites. But owning a 100 sites is a different story. Anyway, if your website is based on Wordpress, there is a privacy plugin tool that you can easily use to easily add the privacy policy page.

You can find the plug-in here for free. Just install the plug-in and generate a PP Page and wallah, an instant privacy plug-in.

You can get the free plug-in on this web address: http://www.synclastic.com/plugins/privacy-policy/

more power to us.
