To all my beloved friends,

September 16 is Malaysia Day and it’s a holiday!

Ok, let me brief you a little bit of Malaysia Day.  September 16 marks the formation of Malaysia; joining Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore. Well, you can say it’s the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963.

Prior to the formation of Malaysia, North Borneo and Singapore unilaterally declared independence from the United Kingdom on August 31, 1963.

That’s it… short and precise.

However, I will be working hard on that day. No celebration with free flow buffet with beautiful wine. That’s not my style.

I prefer to continue with my project and only wish I can finish it on time to launch before end of next Saturday.

The clock is ticking and time is passing by quickly.

The Secret - Law Of Attraction

I’m sure you heard about it. The Law Of Attraction and The Secret movie have created a huge buzz for the past few years. I have to agree that the philosophy is not new but the book and the movie had put it into a systematic and easy to understand to people around the world.

I have to ask, do you remember that first spark of hop you felt when you watched The Secret?

Do you remember that first spark of hope you felt when you watched The Secret? I remember the desire that filled my heart, knowing that finally I can make my dreams come true!

That’s what I felt and thought at that very moment. As time passes by, I don’t have the same strong feeling and desire. I applied the law of attraction but I don’t seem to get it all the time. Yeah, I know that’s very frustrating.

But how many of you soon saw that hope dwindle into frustration like I did? Come on be honest now… nobody is watching.

After some time I found myself started muttering things like:

• It seems to work for other people, but I just can’t get it right.
• I’m frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but sometimes I can’t. Is there something I missed or overlooked?
• Why am I having so much trouble? What’s the trick or solution?
• I think the universe is against me. I’m trying very, Very hard but still nothing wonderful is happening!

If you ask me if I’m worried. Well, the answer is surprisingly no…. Let me explain.

I still go on with my life and I always know that I’m not alone. According to a survey, about 97% of people also couldn’t make the Law of Attraction work for them the first time round.

Think about it, just like anything else, you have to practice many times before you see success. A child doesn’t learn to walk without falling over a couple of times, right?

But what is the missing link here? Why can’t we get it work all the time?

Well, I guess Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey may have the answer for us.

Believe it or not, everything starts with “Believe“. Most of the time, I see people asking for proof before they believe into anything. Well, there is nothing wrong with it. But how many people succeeded when they were given proof of potential first?

I bought numerous books on self-enrichment or personal development. I was trying to go deep inside the authors’ mind and copy what they are doing or thinking about in order to succeed. I regard them as my mentors. Some of them are Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins and Robert Kiyosaki.

I found that they started with believe. Believe that they can be successful in their field and visualized the moment of great feelings. Then they see the huge potential and made massive actions to get the results that they wanted. In their actions, they had no doubts or even concerns that it won’t work.

When they did want they had to do, huge results came in and they experienced the great moment. A moment of “A Ha! I Get It“. That makes their believes stronger and they could see more potential and drive greater actions and achieve better results.

The cycle goes on and on; never seems to stop its magical moments. Their believes never fail them and there is nothing holding back their believes.

Now, that is the 1st step to a better life. We want to achieve our goals. Be it financial freedom, getting a dreamed car or big house on the beach, we must start with Believe .

I know that takes a lot of courage to go through all the hurdles. But at the end of the rainbow, there will be a pot of gold.

Thank you.

You may have hired an outsource billing service because you wanted to help your cash flow or improve your bottom line. An outsource billing service will do this for both companies and local governments, but it’s important to keep some facts in mind to make sure that they’re working for you in the best manner possible. Following are the things you most need to know about your outsource billing service.

For one thing, both private businesses and local governments can benefit from the collections arms of these billing services. If you find a billing service that also handles collections, it’s a real boon because it will save you precious time on difficult accounts. Rather than having to find a collections agency or assign out files to your collections department, an outsource billing service that also does collections can take care of such issues, saving you time and money.

Rather than you having to search for a new vendor and spend time and money and resources turning over accounts to them, collection agencies that are part of outsource billing services can begin the collections process as soon as the account starts to look troublesome.

That time window can make the difference between getting a good percentage of the money owed to you back and getting nothing. Statistics show that after 60 days the chances of getting a return drop steeply the more time goes on. If your billing service can handle collections without an exchange of files, it’s much more efficient and much more likely that you’ll get your money back.

Another thing to ask your outsource billing service is if they are getting volume discounts, and if so, if they’re passing the savings on to you. Many billing services do work for a high volume of companies, and therefore get bulk discounts on mailings, phone rates, etc. They should be passing these savings on to you. If they’re not, showing them you’re aware of this factor may prompt them to lower their rates.

There is no reason to pay more and to waste the resources of your accounting department or your sales department on billing or collections of any kind. Hire professionals, pay less for operational costs and free up your own staff to work on more productive, business-generating tasks. When you’re looking for an outsource billing service, ask them how many accounts they service in your industry. In this case, the more the better because of the cost savings.

Ask your billing service if they can charge you following different structures depending on the services they perform. They’ll all charge you monthly for billing services, but because collection agencies usually take a percentage of the money they get back for you, they have the benefit of not requiring you to shell out money up front. This can significantly affect your cash flow, so if your company handles both jobs for you, ask them if they can bill you monthly for the billing but take a cut of any return on collection they achieve for you.

Finally, an outsource billing service can still give you immediate real time access to your billing and collections accounts. Choose one that gives you online access to your accounts so that you can keep an eye on all of their endeavors and solve problems if you notice any. Your outsource billing service can be your best friend, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep an eye on them.

Today, I read an interesting post from Google blogspot.  It involved a question from many advertisers and marketers.

How much conversion rates vary with ads position?

I have a same question everytime I setup a new campaign or tweaking my existing adwords campaigns.  No doubt as a marketer, we keep looking for a breakthrough to increase conversion rate. Let’s say I have 100 visitors to my website and 5 visitors took action like subscribing to my newsletter or download free item. With that, I have 5% conversion rate.

Now, imagine 8 visitors took action instead of just 5. I will have 8% conversion rate. This merely 3% increment means 37.5% improvement from my previous conversion rate!

Now, let’s go back to blogspot post. Google adwords insider team did a very good studying on this subject. They found that Conversion Rates Don’t Vary Much with Ads Position.

Here is the actual statement from the post:

We have used a statistical model to account for these effects and found that, on average, there is very little variation in conversion rates by position for the same ad. For example, for pages where 11 ads are shown the conversion rate varies by less than 5% across positions. In other words, an ad that had a 1.0% conversion rate in the best position, would have about a 0.95% conversion rate in the worst position, on average. Ads above the search results have a conversion rate within ±2% of right-hand side positions.

For more detail of the report, go to http://adwords.blogspot.com/2009/08/conversion-rates-dont-vary-much-with-ad.html

Anyway, I will still look at the possibility to cut of cost per click with the ads position.

Any form of marketing that promotes word of mouth is viral marketing. Viral marketing has become the big topic with internet marketers. Everyone would love for their website to be spread through a self-replicating viral processes.

Viral marketing is sometimes referred to as buzz marketing or word of mouth marketing. It is marketing where the strategy is to spread the message exponentially like a virus. People tell their friends, who tell their friends, who tell their friends, and and the word spreads. Viral Marketing is a popular marketing trend because it works. Viral marketing is not new, the web makes the process easier and faster.

Article marketing can be a great viral marketing tool. Your articles need to create value to the reader. Article Marketing is one of the best traffic building strategies because it has longevity, all you have to do is write it once, and it will work for you for a long time. Article marketing as a viral marketing strategy has become enormously popular in recent years. Thousands of articles are being submitted everyday to article directories. It is a process of brainstorming an idea, formatting it into an article and then submitting it to as many article directories as you can.

Article marketing is a great viral marketing strategy to direct targeted traffic to your website and get links to your website from the article directories and other websites and blogs. You get links to your site by writing articles and submitting them to article directories and webmasters pick them up and put them on their sites and blogs. Article marketing will help build massive amounts of inbound links and bring in a good amount of traffic, when written and distributed correctly. Article marketing is one of the most powerful viral marketing strategies to promote your website.

You must create the free article as if you’re planning to sell it at a high price. Write informative articles, give something that benefits your readers. Show your readers that you truly care about their success.

When your readers know you are providing them quality content, they will share the information with their friends. That’s how you generate the viral word-of-mouth marketing effect. Additionally, you can also encourage your readers to send your articles to someone they know.

People will read your articles that are posted all over the web, through article directories. They will read your ‘about the author’ paragraph at the bottom of each article and visit your site. That’s a great viral marketing strategy generate traffic back to your website’s pages.

Everyone who looks at you CV expects to see things included in a certain way. Failure to meet the recruiters expectations basically end up with your career hopes through that job filed under b for bin. If you walked into your local sports stadium and there was no playing field, you wouldn’t stay there very long would you? It’s the same thing with your CV

Your first and second name should sit prominently at the top of your CV. There is no need for second (or more) names to be added). Leave it as plain and simple as you can and avoid pretense at all costs. A shortened version of your Christian name is increasingly acceptable, for example, Fred not Frederick is very normal nowadays. Using the name with which you answer the telephone will be fine

Include your full, correct postal address along with post code or zip code as appropriate. Landline numbers are always a good idea. Personally, I would always include a home telephone number as well as a mobile number. If you don’t have a mobile yet, consider purchasing a cheap pay as you go mobile phone- it will definitely be worth it for you

Your personal profile or career statement. Make sure that following the basic information you include a personal statement. It doesn’t need a heading, just go straight into it. Include what you can do (job title), for who (industry sector), where (geography), and also point to your track record. The employer basically needs to know in a nutshell whether you fit with the sort of role that they are looking to fill.

Working from your most recent work achievements and moving backward, you need to pick out key achievements for which you have been personally responsible. Focus on achievements and not responsibilities. Nobody takes anyone on for those reasons alone. You really need to quietly sell yourself in this, the most important section of the CV. Make sure you are telling the truth as well- you may be called on to back up these claims with factual evidence at the interview or at some later date

Academic qualifications are different from professional qualifications. academic qualifications are gained at educational institutions like schools, universities, etc. Start with the highest level of qualification (which is usually the most recent as well), work through your qualifications and list them appropriately

There is some confusion about professional qualifications- people think that all qualifications are the same, whether they are academic (gained through educational institutions) or professional. Professional qualifications are usually gained through a company, service provider or perhaps an individual. Make sure they are listed in order of level of importance. This can be a little subjective but try and put the most important/ most relevant first given the type of job for which you are applying

The last section of your CV is made up of hobbies, interests, other information, etc. This information is a bit like the relish on a burger- not much use without the main ingredient, but it can make the difference between a memorable meal or just another snack. Your interests should be factual. Never put your actual date of birth on your CV. There are far too many people who may want to make use of this valuable personal information who may wish to use it to steal your identity

Gone are the days when eBay was a platform to sell things that you no longer need. Now Buying Items in Bulk to Sell on eBay is a very good idea to earn hefty profits.The first step to start buying Items in Bulk to Sell on eBay is to determine which item or items you should buy.

You can search online to get product idea. There are various web sites for that. You will find that there are items which are extremely sellable but the profit margin is very less. In contrast to that there are items which have huge profit margins but they do not sell frequently. But selling these things requires very refined and polished marketing skills. If you are a newbie then my advice to you is to play safe. Do not invest in any unusual items.

Also keep in mind that when buying Items in Bulk to Sell on EBay; do not buy multiple kinds of items. This is because the eBay not only charges you when a sale is made; it also charges to maintain your product listings!

Unlike the normal bidding of single goods, selling bulk items to sell on ebay is pretty much the same. The only difference between selling a single product and a bulk is of the profit that is made on selling them.

First of all, you will get the goods not only at the wholesale price, but when you will buy in bulk. You might also be eligible for more discounts because such companies do offer special discounts on bulk purchase. Keep in mind about drop shippers that, you dont actually have to buy the goods.

So this means you’ll also dont have to worry about storing the goods too. Buying bulk items to sell on ebay from a drop shipper means that you will only pay the drop shipper when you sell the items on ebay. Keep this in mind because this confusion happens when you are buying bulk items to sell on ebay. Another positive aspect of drop ship wholesale companies is that you do not have to pay for the goods before you sell them.

After selling the goods, you will contact the drop ship company and pay them the amount payable. The company will then ship the goods to your customer’s address.
