Marketing Your Brain Power! (The 90/10 Rule)

Loonnggg silence again…you may check my previous post on the reasons I was also busy writing articles as a guest writer for a client’s newsletter which increased my “exposure” to his client database. Eventually, it equated to a number of projects! Oh! I love internet marketing!!!

Anyway, I went to a Wi-Fi Party sponsored by Apple, Belkin and who else(I don’t know) last night… as a side note, I was shocked in a Wifi party with a VERY slow-to-none internet access! NOT good for presenting new products.

While I was there I talked with old(as well as new) friends about Apple products(I’m an Apple fan by the way). I was not really paying attention to the presenter since I “think” I know more about Apple products than him(humbly speaking). During the Q&A, a dignified person asked on where could he find “someone” to show him how to play with Final Cut, a premier video editing software from Apple. Most of the listeners was very eager to hear the presenter’s answer as well. My friends including one of the sponsors of the event immediately pointed yours truly…(bang!)  I love when other people do the marketing for me. *big smile*

Now, here’s the lesson for YOU….

Website and Free Publicity

People pay hundreds of thousands, if not millions, just to be “advertised” in TV. Since I have started this site/blog about 4 months ago, I  was already invited to two big speaking engagements of which sponsored by well-known companies. Also, I had an invitation for a TV interview on one of Philippine’s top TV station to talk about internet marketing. Hmmm… I’ll be in TV for free? That’s a great thing for me and my business! Unfortunately, none of those ever came to past. Why? Geographic location and time were the reason. All of those invitations came from Manila but I’m based in Davao City which means a lot of money and TIME for travel, lodging, etc. It will not be a wise decision for me and the inviting party if we’ll proceed. I’m curious though on who they invited to speak and if their invited guest really delivered good stuff.

Anyway, here are the lessons we can learn from this experience: …..

Internet Marketing in the Philippines

Finally, after several weeks of brainstorming with my wife (and myself), I decided to:
1. Maintain only TWO blogs – this one and Information Marketing Central.
2. Write a book on the topic ‘Internet Marketing in the Philippines.’

Maintaining Blogs
It’s a pain in the neck maintaining multiple blogs. Trust me. I have setup a LOT of blogs in hope that I will earn more money. I’m dead wrong. If you can’t regularly post new content and give real meat to your audience then there’s NO way you can monetize from your blog. …..

Inspiration from Proverbs

Proverbs for Business?

Why should I need Proverbs for business? Anyone? Wisdom says…

I love those who love me, 
And those who seek me diligently will find me.
Riches and honor are with me,
Enduring riches and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold,
And my revenue than choice silver.
I traverse the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of justice,
That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth
That I may fill their treasuries.
                   Proverbs 8:17-21
