How I go into this internet marketing thing
Ever since my army days, I have been crazy about cars. You can say that cars is the main motivator for me to get rich. Maybe this is just a guy thing… or maybe it is just me. But I always want to have my own car.
Eventually, I decided I do not want to be live a life like my parent does. They work so hard but till this day and age, they are still working. But I want a lifestyle. Not to say I don’t want to work. In fact I hope to continue working.
We are in a different world altogether now. Since 1995, there was this internet and that fundamentally changed how the world work, how businesses operated. Today, you can connect yourself to any person anywhere in the world, all he and you need is internet access.
After searching for 3 years, I kinda stumbled across Adam Khoo’s and Stuart Tan’s book which both are Secrets of the Self Made Millionaire series. It was on 20% discount back then and I bought both of them.
After that, my world has changed. To date I have spent over $2k on internet marketing products and self development materials but I have made only USD $5.
Today its no longer about internet marketing, for it has changed my life. Its about what kind of life I really want to life.
But I believe I will succeed one day. I have 1(maybe 2 seminars) due in May and June. I hope to change my life and life the ultimate lifestyle that I want.
IF you haven read the book “The Four Hour work Week” by Tim Ferris. Go ahead and buy it. You wouldn’t regret it.
Till next time.

Why Success Journal?
Who am I? You might be thinking. I am currently nobody. I repeat NOBODY! so why the hell am I writing about a success journal?
In Dec 2007, I came across to something called Internet Marketing. Try google that term and you will most probably get over billions of search results.
Internet Marketing
What is Internet Marketing? Some people say its a scam. Some say its hype. Some say, come on, get a life. Find a job. Make money online? Holy shit crap. How much have you made?
This is not the SGD$10 million hongbao TOTO draw(lottery in Singapore). The fact is marketers have polluted this whole internet arena with such unhealthy images “scams” and “you will be rich for sure if you buy my product” ideas that people tend to think Internet Marketing is a “get-rich-quick” scam.
In short and simple english, Internet Marketing is just marketing online! It is the same thing as offline marketing. I wouldnt even bother to explain the concept of marketing cos its everywhere. It is just so prevalent in Internet Marketing.
The Truth about Internet Marketing
I have been 2 months in learning about internet marketing. If a product says guarantee or whatever promises he/she makes to you, I would say, buy it only if you intend to use it. There are simply no guarantee in lives.
Does getting a 1st class honours degree from harvard or MIT GUARANTEE you a job at GOOGLE? or MICROSOFT? or maybe some SME?
The answer is NO!
Does having a phD guarantee you a JOB of your DREAMS?
The answer is NO!
So why are you still studying like hell? The answer is because we are brought up to think that way.
The truth is, internet marketing is a tool for doing business. Its just marketing! But with technology, the cost of marketing your product has dropped tremendously, making it easier for you to start your own marketing campaign.
Thoughts and comments are welcomed!
P.S. I have decided to keep my previous coffee posts. But if you have come here for coffee, I’m sorry to disappoint you
