I am still here! There is a lot going with my life currently with a new job and 1-half month old daughter, I am still trying to catch my breath. Hopefully things will stabilized. Back to my topic about “Few Great Post”. I had nearly gave up on blogging for money because I barely earn any money from blogging even though I have been blogging for quite some time. Although the plan is not to give up entirely but to only blog for fun and not committed to blogging frequently to maintained a good readership.

I was wrong, because I have found out that you only require a few great post and once you get them. It will give you a huge boost in your income and your readership. But because posts are easily copied, you will need a good readership in order to give your good post a boost. Then you will have a great path in front of you.

Great posts are not easy to write and will need a great deal of creativity with vision about what people are interested at. You could write a post before people starts to searh for a certain topic, for example writing about “facebook template” if you have news about this ahead of most people. Once the news break, I am sure that your blog will be a huge hit, and you get a search engine advantage because it is posted earlier.

I am a big fan of statistics and I used to check analytics like 10 times in an hour but shortly after, I know that it is not the way. Now I am checking and analyzing my statistics once every 1 to 3 days. Previously I have problem with analytics because I have different analytics account and also access to some of my friends blogs/websites. Previously, when you own an analytics account, other owner will not be able to share their stats with you. Therefore you will have to use another email in order to check the stats.

Today, when I check my stats, I notice some design arrangement changes and I notice a difference in the front page. I have the access to my friends statistics.

After you click on the accounts name, you will proceed to websites that are listed under the accounts.

I like this speech by Gary Vaynerchuk and start to realize how much time I spend things that are unproductive at all. His speech is very straight to the point and realistic. Take a look at this 15 minutes video.

I went to Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) at TheMall, Kuala Lumpur yesterday for a business registration and it is actually pretty simple and you do not have to go through any agent in order to get your business registered. The only downside is the amount of time needed, but I think it is okay. SSM is located at 2nd floor of TheMall, you will see agents trying to sell you company registration services in front of SSM.

Business registration is not the same as company registration (Sdn Bhd), business regisration are names like Ah Huat Enterprise, Knowledge Tree Resources, or Metal Trader (notice that there is no Sdn / Sdn Bhd behind). Note that foreigner will not be allowed to register a Malaysia business registration, but company registration will be allowed.

Here is the steps to register your very own Malaysia business registration.

1. Bring a photostat copy of your Identity Card.
2. Line up for a form.
3. Fill up the form completely, if you have problem, refer to the wall, they have samples. (you will need to provide 3 different business names. Easiest way is to search for the business name availability online.
4. Line up again in the same counter to pass them your form and IC copy, they will provide you with a number.
5. Wait comfortably in the seat provided as they search for your company availability. The number will not go in order because if they found your names available, your number will be call.
6. Pay RM10 for business name search, RM60 for business registration for 1 year (upto 5 years allowed). You could also renew online at SSM.
7. And wait 1 hour for your certificate to come out.

I arrived there at about 11.15am, steps 1 to 6 takes me about 1 hour. Then went for lunch and head back after 1 hour. Because of lunch clashes of the staff, I took it at around 1.30pm.

Overall, I am glad that I did not go through any agent because it is pretty simple and I heard that they will charge around RM200+ for a business registration. I guess it is because of the hassle previously, but now they are much more effective and everything is done at that moment.

I am not sure about Malaysia Company Registration, it is different, therefore you should check with their website or call them and ask about it.

There is a difference trying to target SEO Malaysia or SEO for worldwide searches. You basically view a slightly different set of result even if you are using Google.com but searching in different parts of the world. I guess the question asked would be, “How can we target for one location?”.

My opinion is that including the location like “Malaysia” in your content would place more emphasis that you are trying to target Malaysia traffic. Also getting backlinks from other website in the same geographical location would definitely helps.

Here is how you can check if you are interested to know what US resident are seeing from a certain keyword search at Google.com.

http://www.google.com/search?q=KEYWORD&gl=US

For example, if you are searching for SEO service

http://www.google.com/search?q=SEO&gl=US

http://www.google.com/search?q=SEO&gl=MY

http://www.google.com/search?q=SEO&gl=SG

I used three different location MY=Malaysia, SG=Singapore and US=United States. I could omit the second query with &gl=MY because I would see the same result.

On top of that, you will also get a different result from Google.com.my. And sometimes it is better if you are concentrating in a regional Google. This is how you could check other country search result. If you check Alexa’s Malaysia Top 100 website, you will notice that Google.com.my gets more visitor compare to Google.com. This is because a lot of computer have default on Google.com.my when the first time Google detects IP from Malaysia and people do not change it as long as the searches works.

1. Go to http://www.google.com/adpreview (without the backslash, it will not work)
2. Enter the keyword
3. Enter Google Domain
4. Choose the country of the searches

You will see the result that is different from countries to countries.

This is no normal photo editor like Photoshop Express or other free photo editor. It is quite similar to Fauxto that was posted previously, but I like this better because it is much smoother and Fauxto was buggy then.

It is a very good photo editor with layers and most basic to intermediate tools you could find at a photoshop. But this is available for free and at the same time you could use this piece of software anywhere you go with a browser.

Below is my trial and I manage to draw something and download it without any problem.

I have actually got quite a lot of eBook in my stash because of an Internet Marketing Bootcamp that I have joined earlier this year. Too many that I did not even had the time to look into each and every one of them. Recently I just had my daughter (yes, 1 month old now) and because we are new in this, we have bought quite some books from MPH and our local bookstores to do some readings on the parenting and pregnancy. Then later I found out that I have this Baby First Year Guide ebook when I accidentally search my desktop. Took a glimpse at the book and found out that it is quite complete. It provides quite similar information compare to one of the book I had bought for like RM88.50 (approximately USD25.29). This Baby ebook is actually filled with 209 pages of great information.

Therefore I have started this ebook learning site that sells some of the eBook that I have resell rights to at a fraction of the cost compare to an actual physical book. Remember that I have paid over RM3000 for this course for these ebooks and it is selling for very very cheap price.

I will be giving out some free ebooks too, I will need to sort out some eBooks that could be given out for free. Therefore remember to stay tuned for more ebooks.

Remember to visit eBook Learning website.

Previously I was promoting a software name Awesome Popup, and it is actually a great marketing tool if you are trying to get your visitor attention. Usually if you are not putting advertisements, your visitor will not get annoyed. What I did previously was to have a reminder for my visitor to join a contest.

Now you can create you own Popup with Lightbox as background. It will appear less aggresive with this smooth popup with Lightbox.

It is actually loading 2 different scripts, one for the popup and another for the background to have a nicer look.

Here is the tutorial teaching you how to d make your own smooth popup.
