Our FULL VERSION Fan Page software is now free

admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:00:23 +0000

Several months ago, we launched our first Facebook app, PagePress App and it was a major success – today, it’s being used by users from 133 countries, powering almost 10,000 Fan Pages and featured in KillerStartUps.com.

Today, our company is releasing a “sequel” to it, introducing… PageTab App:

Facebook Fan Page Tab

We cannot avoid the fact that marketing on Facebook is becoming very important regardless of whether you’re promoting a brand, business, product, service, company, affiliate programs, store and so on. And one thing that you’ll need is a Fan Page.

If you already using a Facebook Fan Page, you’ll immediately know how to appreciate PageTab App.

And if you do not have a Fan Page yet, this app is going to help you create your Fan Page in just a few minutes!

Get PageTab App beta for free:

http://www.pagetabapp.com

Keep in mind that this is not an internet marketing product, there are no one-time offers, long salesletter, etc. This is a software developed for the general public.

This app might not even be useful to you at all, but because it’s a valuable software and our company is offering it for free, I thought of sharing it with you. Or maybe, you have friends who need it.

*Is This REALLY Free?*

It’s a fact that a software like this CANNOT be free. There are so much development cost we’ve spent and there are real ongoing cost like cloud hosting, SSL certification, support, bug fix and so on. But right now, it’s available for 100% free.

Let me explain why…

Our company is changing focus for 2012. We’ll be less involved with “internet marketing” stuff but use our resources to be involved in web development. The software might still have bugs (that’s why it’s called beta) and we’re now collecting feedbacks. In the next upgrade, we might start changing but when you register today, it’ll always be free for you – that’s our company’s promise to you.

Sunday Email #55 – Happy Holidays and 5 of My Opinions

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 15:31:01 +0000

I like to start off by wishing you Happy Holidays and if you’re celebrating Christmas, wishing you a very wonderful Merry Christmas.

Today’s Sunday Email is not going to be of much rants (unlike my past 54 Sunday Emails), but more towards of what I like to share about attaining more success with internet marketing and online businesses.

Here are 5 of them for your leisure reading:

Be Innovative (Or Perish) – It’s actually easy to make lots of money online, especially in the internet marketing niche. Here are the two mistakes of newbies when they try to penetrate the internet marketing niche:

i . They come up with another “old” product idea. An old product idea is like a course teaching about product creation or blogging. Those are nothing new at all and there are plenty of similar courses out there.

ii. They are being creative. There’s nothing wrong for being creative but don’t expect it to be a trend setter if you’re a newbie without strong influence in the marketplace. Secondly, if it’s too new, people might not “get it” or ready to test it out.

Be innovative. Just see what are quite successful and improve upon them. In fact, you can just spot them in Clickbank.com directly, it’s really a no-brainer.

ii. Know less, do more. Most people are unaware of this, but I’ve been exploring the domain name opportunity for the past several months. In fact, until now, it’s still a new game for me. But here’s the thing – the more I know, it seems like it’s ‘harder’ for me to make money with domains because I’m so overwhelmed with too many resources and options. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS TO LEARN ABOUT DOMAINS. Here’s the interesting part – I’ve started selling domains successfully when I’m doing nothing fancy, as simple as just putting it in Sedo.com. Once sold, buy more domains. The point is, sometimes, you just need to know less and do more of what you already knew. (If you want to stay updated with domains and website offers, subscribe on the update list for free at www.VREInvestors.com.)

iii. Need A Team. After spending about 18 months with Robert Allen, I’ve learned a lot of success lessons from him, directly and indirectly. One of the things that I’ve noticed about Robert is, he is a master of creating a “dream” team, in fact, a talented team. Be willing to share your piece of cake and you’ll get a good team to be with you. By the way, if you want to know what are the 5 other million-dollar lessons I’ve learned from Bob, you can watch it in Youtube for free, http://youtu.be/J6UCnFZ3DMI

iv. Asian Market. Apparently, for the past 12 months, I’ve seen an encouraging rise of customers and clients from Asia market – for my online product sales. Doesn’t matter if you’re an Asian or a Caucasian, I would suggest you to not leave out the Asia market, especially in 2012. I’m predicting that it’s going to boom further, much bigger. China would be a little bit too hard to penetrate because it’s an eco-system of its own but there’s a huge market for Singapore and Malaysia. Not to leave out Japan, but with Japan, you probably need your stuff to be in Japanese.

v. Take A Risk. You see, I’ve taught thousands of people to make money online and to start internet businesses. I’m not pointing this fact out to be ego or whatsoever, but to lead to this simple fact – most of them who achieved success are those who are willing to take risks. For instance, risk of losing other things (mainly time and money). Take the iconic leader, Steve Jobs as a brilliant example – I heard his salary as the CEO of Apple is only $1. Do you think he’s going to achieve success with Apple when his bank account is going to depend solely on his performance? Now, that’s “risky”. But then, that’s what leaders do – they take risk so that their reward in return is gigantic.

I hope some of these so-called “word of wisdom” could be handy to you in anyway for your success in 2012. Whether it does or not, it is my sincere wish that you’ll experience greater success next year and years to come.

Looking forward to grow with you further, to the next level.

You “Chan” Do It!

Sunday Email #54: What’s Wrong With Most People

admin — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:02:23 +0000

If you’re new to my subscription and wondering what is a “Sunday Email”, it’s an email full of my rants, personal tips and opinions on marketing especially in the “internet marketing” niche. Sometimes, opinions on life. Whatever it is… I hope it’ll give you value after spending time reading it. To make sure you won’t miss any future issue, subscriber for free at www.sundayemail.com. You know– sometimes my Sunday Emails can be harsh. But come on, they’re my rants. If I want to keep everyone happy and write about the colorful rainbow, birds chirping, flowers blooming, etc then I should just opens up a nursery home and take care of children.

———————————————————–

Re: Why People Just Can’t Make It

You can easily “write” an ebook and start selling it online (or maybe put it on Amazon Kindle)… even if you’re not an expert for that topic.

It’s relatively an easy process, the method is simple – pick up 5-6 books about that particular topic and read all of them. By the time you’ve completed reading, you would probably know a little bit of that topic. Then come up with your own words and summaries of what you’ve learned and the next thing you know, you’ll have a “book” in you.

I mean, if you read a book about persuasion techniques, you’ll find almost the same content in another persuasion technique book.

Same thing with parenting and relationship information – most of the advice are the same but they’re just being explained (or taught) differently.

Of course, there will be times when you’ll discover novel content about persuasion or relationship or parenting in a book but my point here is, you can create your own information product easily with some basic research.

And everybody knows that having your own information product is the ULTIMATE key for long-term internet marketing success. I mean, just look at a dude who sells a course about how to make money from Facebook – isn’t the WAY how he’s making money is none other than selling HIS information product to you? I rest my case.

What’s wrong with most people who are trying to make long-term money online is they know how to make money online (which is to create and sell their own information products) but they are not doing that because product creation is a lot of work.

Do you know what I think is the most important skill of internet marketing that can literally guarantees you to make money?

Be really good at copywriting. Heck, if you can do that, you don’t even need traffic.

Why? Well, if you can increase conversion (assuming you’re a really good copywriter), you can just approach any guy or gal online who has an existing product with traffic and say…

“Let me increase the sales conversion of your salesletter and for any new sales increment, we’ll split 50/50. ”

Or you can write for marketers and get paid handsomely.

The problem? To become a GOOD copywriter requires a lot of hard work and it doesn’t happens overnight.

So people try to find shortcuts – they try to figure out how to make money from Black Friday, looking for a “better” product review website software sold in Clickbank, searching for Facebook loopholes and the list goes on. That’s perfect but don’t expect these to give you a BUSINESS. They’re just short-term opportunities.

What is the message of my rant here?

You can never go wrong on making money online by creating your own information product and learn how to write a good copy (or record a video) that gets people wanting to buy. THESE ARE THE 2 THINGS YOU NEED TO MASTER. What about traffic? Well, if you have a product and know it’ll convert, just use money to buy traffic!

Last but not least, don’t get my message wrongly – do continue to try to make money from Facebook or review sites and so on because they can be lucrative but make sure that you’re ALSO taking care of your future by creating your own information product.

3 Things To Share With My Readers

admin — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 05:17:07 +0000

How are you?

I haven’t been “active” in internet marketing lately — I think it’s been almost a year that I haven’t officially launch a product. And I don’t have plans to make any massive launch this year.

Anyhow, I got 3 updates to share with you that can help you to make money online…

*PagePressApp Affiliate Program*

We have now released the affiliate program for our company’s first Facebook app, PagePressApp.com. This is NOT an internet marketing product but a mainstream product — just like promoting domain name registration or hosting service but the different is, you’ll earn 50% commission every year (domain reg normally pays only $15% to 20%). Also, you’ll
earn commission from two other income streams.

The best part is, PagePressApp is a FULL VERSION free app, your friends and list will thank you for sharing.

Get details and promotion tools at:

http://blog.pagepressapp.com/affiliateprogram.html

*VREInvestors.com*

One of the reasons why I haven’t been active with internet marketing is I’ve been building many new internet businesses and websites in different industries/niche markets. Also, I’ve been testing out opportunities with domain names.

You probably wouldn’t believe me — but if you “stepped out” from the internet marketing niche and start exploring other opportunities on the internet, you would see so many other ways to make money online.

If you’re interested to stay updated with internet businesses, websites and domain names that I’ll be selling (or my clients), subscribe for free below:

http://www.vreinvestors.com

*One-On-One Personal Coaching*

As you now know now now, the main reason for my “inactivity” is due to my switch of focus. But at the same time, it’s also because I’ve been spending the time to help out my clients to make money online through live workshops and coaching programs.

In fact, next week would be the final workshop that I’ll be doing for 2011, therefore, I’ll now have more time to focus on providing support and build my own internet businesses.

I’ll have 5 opening spots to accept new coaching clients — to secure your spot before they’re all taken again, go to:

Auto Build It is an amazing piece of software to create internet marketing websites, suitable for newbies and experience marketer. I’ve gotten the Auto Built It review copy from their company and after reviewing it, I’ve decided to promote it on the launch date.

Sunday Email #53: What I’ve Learn About Internet Marketing

admin — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 17:53:02 +0000

———————————————————–

Re: What I’ve Learn About Internet Marketing

I just got back from watching Captain America: The First Avenger. Right now, I’m so looking forward to watch The Avengers movie!

Okay, BACK to internet marketing. I’ve realized that I’ve been in the internet marketing niche for almost a decade now… that’s 10 years straight. So today, I would like to take the time to share with you some short lessons I’ve learn about this business. And no, I’m not going to talk about the strategies I’ve learn that are critical for your business – build a list, create your own product, master the skill of getting traffic, etc. These are no brainers, you should already know them.

So here some lessons I can think of…

Keep Good People - Along the way, you’re going to know a lot of people in this business. And when I mean “people”, I’m referring to *anyone* – your students, customers, JV partners, outsource guys, etc.

If you train 10 people to achieve internet marketing success, maybe only 1-2 of them will come back to you to say, “thank you”.

You can have 10 JV partners but most of them will not be “reliable” – they’ll be nice with you when they need your help to promote their stuff or something. But 1-2 of them will ALWAYS be there for you, your trusted JV partners.

In the beginning, many outsource workers would do anything to get jobs from you and when they’re ‘successful’, they’ll forget who was the person who gave them their first few outsource projects to start their freelance businesses. At the same time, there will be a few of them who will always remember you and will make time to take up your jobs even if they’ll make less money.

When you found these small group of good people, you should do your best to strengthen your relationship with them. They are good people.

You Got to Change and Adapt – If you have been around, you would have noticed that Internet Marketing has ‘evolved’ a lot since the early days. Yeah, the PRINCIPLES of internet marketing are still the same (they’ll always be) but the demand from the market and prospects have changed drastically and will continue to change.

What do I mean by change? From your website design to how you do deals. From product pricing to connecting with your customers. *EVERYTHING* dude.

Earn Less But Makes More – There are just way too many opportunities on the internet for you to tap. You would make more money by working with partners or hiring other talents. Although you’ll earn less from each opportunity (since you’re ‘sharing’ your profit) but ultimately, you’ll make more because you will have more vehicles going on for you.

I mean, wake up. Affiliate marketing ALONE would probably have 20 business models you can pick. What about making money from social media, creating and selling your own products, product drop-shipping and so on? Are you going to leave out all of the opportunities? I hope not.

There Will Always Be Prospects - In my opinion, Internet Marketing niche will never “dry out”. No matter how much the market is being hammered with offers (including hype up s*^t stuff), there will always be customers. If this is not true, you wouldn’t see so many new Clickbank products continue to be released into this market and generated 6, 7 figures in sales. At the same time, there will always be the newbies market to be served. So don’t worry too much about competitors, the market is ENOUGH for everyone.

Be Careful of Lies - I’m not sure whether you’ve seen these kinds of messages before…

Marketer claims to ‘retire’ and come back again after few months with bigger promotions.

Marketer claims to make huge incomes with Clickbank and display all kinds of income screenshots – to the extend, sometimes, it even insulted our intelligence.

Marketers claim that the *latest* product being promoted is the best product but apparently, that marketer said too the same for last week’s product.

Marketer claims that Law of Attraction is the reason why he’s hugely successful with internet marketing and incidentally, he has a Law of Attraction course to ffer. Nah, this didn’t happen – I just make it up.

Keep in mind that the lies are not just for the prospects – this also include empty promises from JV partners for reciprocal promotion or paying out commission. One piece of advice… be smart when you’re dealing with “partners”.

I guess these are 5 of them that I can think of right now, can’t think much, I’ve just got back from the movie. Maybe I’ll share more in the upcoming Sunday Emails.

Free to leave your comment below (I read all of them personally) if you like what you read or find value in it.

Sunday Email #52: Excuse Me Mr. Guru, The Proof Please.

admin — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 15:13:43 +0000

———————————————————–

Re: Excuse Me Mr. Guru, The Proof Please.

I have to admit that I’ve been a fanatic Facebook fans lately. I have two choices to learn – I could read everything on Facebook and through trial and error OR, I can go for warp speed by buying courses to learn.

Well, I’m like you, I’ll choose option 2 and that’s how I ended up writing today’s rant.

I’ve gone through a Facebook course by a guru where the salesletter claims to teach me the strategy how I can build tens of thousands fans in a week or so. Sounds like a great deal to me, since I’m always pressed for time. Is the strategy revealed powerful?

Yeah, it is.

“Then what’s the problem, Patric?”

The problem is not the strategy; the problem is the strategy does not work.

I’m sick and tired with marketers selling courses to us WITHOUT caring about their customers – I mean, don’t they get it, we love to buy but for everyone’s sake, sell us stuff that you’ve tested first!

Before you read on, I want to state a strong point first: It’s noble and awesome to create courses to teach and make money in return. So I highly encourage you to do information business – it’s lucrative and rewarding.

The problems with most of today’s courses (especially Facebook related topics) are:

Filled with Theories. The Gurus teach you stuff that they THINK work but they themselves don’t do it. Isn’t that ironic? Like the Facebook course I’ve gone through, the concept sounds great but when its put to practice, it doesn’t work. And don’t even start saying I’ve followed the steps wrongly – I think I’m smart enough to figure out stuff I’ve learned by now.

But I should have done my own due diligence first by simply going to his Facebook fanpage, so it’s partly my own fault too. You’ve guessed it right; there are no tens of thousands “Likes” on the page. I mean, if what he’s teaching works like charm, wouldn’t it make sense that his fanpage should be the proof itself? Hmm.

We tend to take things for granted, especially when it’s backed by a strong Guru’s name. We always want to have the shortcuts and that’s how we fall prey to promises and hypes.

Here’s my plain and simple advice:

Next time you buy a course or attend a seminar, make sure the Guru have done what he’s going to teach you.

No Proof. This is almost the same as “filled with theories” but with a different twist. Many of the courses today will give you video tutorials how they do it but then, you can never find the real example! For instance, they tell you how cool they run ads here and there, but guess what… you’ll never see the real ad campaigns (it’s probably because the campaigns never exist in the first place?).

Nowadays, it’s so hard to find good courses that are supported with real proof that the strategies taught are already tested.

By the way, speaking of Facebook, here are 5 ways to profit from it:

Create Facebook fanpage and build your own followers. Same concept as building a lot of Twitter followers.
Run Facebook ads. Same concept as running Google Adwords, promoting your own product or affiliate programs.
Create apps to be sold or build a list.
Create games to be sold, build a list or sell the entire game to an ‘investor’.
Sell courses about how to make money from Facebook. I know more marketers successfully doing this by teaching the four Facebook topics above then doing any of them. And, I’ve never met anyone in person (yet) that have been making a lot of money from Fanpage, Facebook ads, the apps or games.

The TRUTH is, it’s easier to make money by becoming an information marketer – I’m not embarrassed to admit doing that because I believe I have a strong conscience. I think you’re the same too.

Also, free to leave your comment below (I read all of them personally) if you like what you read or find value in it.

Sunday Email #51: It Doesn’t Have To Be That Way

admin — Sun, 15 May 2011 03:22:04 +0000

———————————————————–

Today’s Sunday Email is about ‘waking you up’.

Recently, I saw a forum posted by a guy asking who the 5 most respected internet marketers (aka Gurus) are. Personally, I have my own list of those who I respect but when I saw the names in the post, I automatically knew why these people are following Gurus blindly.

I’m not sure whether I should say this to you because it’ll splinter your original perception on these gurus – most of them don’t know INTERNET MARKETING. They’re categorized as how successfully or respected based on how much money they make by selling their internet marketing widgets.

And here comes the drumroll…

The only thing they have is their mailing lists in the internet marketing niche. Because with that, not only that they can continue to make money here, but it gives them the leverage to joint venture with others.

Dude, wake up for a while.

How can an internet marketer’s success be categorized based on if he (or she) has a list or not? That’s bizarre.

Ponder on that fact for a few seconds… so it means that any newbie can be a guru as long as he has a huge list and can get people to buy stuff by throwing gazillion of bonuses or something? Hmm.

It’s like saying the best taste burger in town must belongs to the restaurant that has the most patrons.

Of course this rant is a little bit “expanded”. Yes, they might have some marketing skill and if they do, it’s mainly how to build a list very well (which I’ll give you an idea shortly) and selling their widgets.

You see, the fact is, they just can’t survive OUT of the internet marketing (IM) niche. They’ll say they want to go into a different niche market, build a Facebook or something, but ultimately, you’ll see them back in this niche. What’s annoying is, saying that as an excuse to sell their widgets and we supported them. It’s so obvious they’re surviving based on their IM list and IM promotion buddies. You rub my shoulder, I rub your shoulder… but who’s rubbing your shoulder?

Yes, some internet marketers do have internet businesses OUTSIDE of the internet marketing niche, that’s why they have my respect for them.

Why do I rant about this, since I build mailing list in the internet marketing niche and also do joint ventures? Hey, there’s nothing to hide that I’m marketing in the IM niche. If you don’t like that fact, I’m sorry. Then, you should subscribe to my self improvement list that has nothing to do with IM.

Going back to the reason of today’s rant, it’s because the wrong Guru idolization has to stop. It clouds your mind. Most of the time, whenever a Guru launch some stuff, it sells well because of the bonuses, joint venture promotions and all kinds of bells and whistles but the product probably doesn’t work or meet half of its claim. Why? Because slimy Gurus do not DO what are taught in the product. Gotcha.

The second reason why I wrote this post is because I want you to help you by informing you the truth of how to make money online — I’ve already spelled it out so clearly to you where the money is.

Speaking of building a list through joint ventures, you don’t need to just think of the Gurus for promotions. Let me explain in one sentence – the IM niche is SUPER huge. There are thousands of marketers out there who you can be doing JVs with; why in the world are you so fixate about one particular Guru to promote your stuff?

Yeah, I know the advantages of how it can gives you a lot of publicity, social proof and all those stuff you’ve been taught in those ebooks… but… if you must treat this Guru like a royal or something, wouldn’t it be better to just work with others who are more friendly, respectful and receptive?

To elaborate a point, I’ve just joined Safe Swaps this month and I’m already getting proposals to swap every week… without even lifting a finger. There are just so many marketers out there, wanting and willingly to work with you. By the way, don’t join if you don’t have a list to begin with you, you can’t swap if you have nothing to swap yet.

I wish I have something to sell to you related to list building. But not today, maybe some other days.

I hope today’s post shed some light about thinking again of your favourite Gurus. If you want to defend them and appear like a shining knight riding on a white horse, let me know by leaving your comment – afterall, this is the Internet with no boundaries. I promise not to take it personally.

Also, free to leave your comment below (I read all of them personally) if you like what you read or find value in it.
