FastLane to my dream

OK. My life have been great! Ever since I quit my job, I have been on and off on different projects. The brutal facts are that none of those projects made me who I dream to be and generate revenue fast enough. I have been reading many success stories about how people make good living on the fast lane to millions.

Recently, I spent quite amount of time talking to people, and learn from them. It’s never too late to change your life by driving on the fast lane. There are few things that you really need to have before you jump into the car and drive on the fast lane.

I wish

This is the shortest blog title ever on this blog. I wish!

It’s been a while since my last post and serial weekend confession posts. I am sorry to my loyal readers, who often came over and read my blog post. I have been in a upset mood for the past few months. It’s not just because that I am very slowly moving forward on my Internet Entrepreneur Journey, but also because of some personal issues to deal with.

Now, I am getting close to 40 years old. In Chinese’s ancient slogan, my life will just begin at age of 40. I feel like an empty shell that carry nothing in my past 30 something years. I am going to start a new life with new direction. I have a lot to wish for.

Internet Bubbles

Where have I been lately?

This is the question I got from my friends, since my last blog post at Weekend Confession 11 - Where I was? Where will I be?

I know my readers tend to spend less time on reading my blog post. I know. I know. There are many reasons that people don’t tend to spend too much time on reading blog post. One of the reasons is that there are too many blog posts to read. I am one of them. I read hundreds blog posts a day. I scan the keywords and decide to stay or to leave. I also spent time on forums and social networking sites as well. Time is so limited.

In the past two weeks, I have tried many ways to boost my online business. I researched, practiced, discovered and made some conclusion about what I have found and done.

1. Internet Marketing Bubbles - I smell and felt the DOT COM Bubbles of Internet Marketing. If you are a blogger, you pretty much sense the trend of Internet Marketing crap out there. There are too many so-called Internet Marketing experts out there selling their service with single landing page. They want you to buy into their non-sense program to boost your sales. What exactly they teach you? They teach you how to do SEO, generate web site traffic and sell your own marketing crap.

2. MLM - I have heard this over and over again. I used to work for company selling herbs supplements with MLM (Multi-layer-Marketing). You get paid by commission. Now the MLM is invading the Internet Marketing industry. There is no physical product. You just pass on the information about how to get paid and how to make money online by having someone to join the program. Crap!

3. Fake Millionaire - Quick != Easy. There are many fake millionaires out there showing you video, program that can make you a millionaire. They never show you their net income. When I met with the local millionaire at Millionaire Club, I know they are real. They show you the personality of millionaire and approve that they worth millions. It’s all about cash flow. You can make million dollars a month, but you spent a million dollar a month too. Are you a millionaire?

Don’t get me wrong. Those people created the programs did make a lot of money. It does work for some people with really good social skills, because people are dragged by the “life time commission” type of business model. There is nothing wrong with MLM or selling nothing for big bucks. It’s just not the type of business I like to do to earn my hard-working money and to achieve my goals.

Recently, I have spent more time on learning from real millionaires who made hard working money in very short time. There …

Sailing Alone

It’s time to start a new weekend confession. I felt very funny when I saw the following two photos that my old college roommate posted on FaceBook. It totally brought back my memories about my college life. We had so much great time. I just could not believe that my old buddy posted them on Facebook. I lost the photo a long time ago.

Sailing

I had a great weekend with a friend from Taiwan. I felt good because I did not spend a lot of time in front of my computer over the weekend. We watched few movies at home and enjoy outdoor activities together. Last week was an intense week, because I spent so much time working on my online stores. I am getting to the point to re-design or to improve the conversion rate on my stores.

Start doing Internet Marketing on my own is not an easy job. In the past few weeks, I bought a great book and start implementing some techniques to enhance my online business. There is a long way to go with it. In some case, it’s quite lonely, but I have to move on. I think there is not much for me to confess about what I did in the past week. It’s like spending too much time on Twitter or Plurk. I will start shorten my Weekend Confession.

Light Up

While reading the blog post on Google Reader, I realized that I have posted “Increase page ranking with DIY marketing strategies” in the past. It was one of my top visited blog posts. Looking at that post again, I felt that I was drawing on the white paper like a young child. It’s nothing but a kid’s play.

Doing serious business requires serious marketing strategies. If I don’t seriously plan my marketing strategies, I will not get anywhere I want my business to be. I have spent two days reading the book I just bought about marketing toolkit for small business. So let’s play like an adult in the business world.

Many of my readers probably don’t realize that I started a happiness project a while back in early 2008. The happiness project was created to bring more joy to the world by sharing the happiness and great smiles from all over the world. Although there are many copycat blogs trying to copy my idea, they are not doing as much as I am to bring the joy to the world.

Every smiles photos on the happiest blog are either with creative common license or with permission from the original photographer. I put my personal touch into every single smile post. To make this project moving forward, I social with many friends and strangers. It’s not just a smile blog with copy and pastes. I have put a lot of energy to the blog. It’s finally paying off.

This happy news totally make me a big happy day. The happiest blog in the world is now featured on the happiest news on earth.

Books

This afternoon, I spent 6 hours in the book store and tried to pickup a marketing book that will help me boost my online business. I pick one from the 16 marketing books. The book is written by Beth Goldstein, founder of Marketing Edge Consulting Group, LLC. The book name is The Ultimate Small Business Marketing Toolkit: All the Tips, Forms, and Strategies You’ll Ever Need!

I have a lot of reading home work to do. I may come back to pick few of the rest 15 marketing books.

If you read my blog post in the past few days, you probably feel my anger about the marketing company. I have decided to fire my marketing companies and do Internet Marketing on my own. The goal is to lower the marketing cost and boost the sales.
