The 7P Mime

ok...so much for vision. Moving on...

------------------------------->

I have been tagged by my good blog buddy mariuca on 7P (no not an improved version of the marketing 4Ps). Here goes!

Passion: still searching...

Purpose: To be a better son, husband, father and friend (it's true. It is in my new year
resolution).

Pursuit: Spiritual growth, Family, Health, Money (i am reluctant to put the last one. But somehow in this world, it is inevitable since most things need $)

Position: I want to own my own toys and games empire one day! (in the pipeline. start smll first. coming soon. Akan Datang... )

Pummelling: Procrastination definitely!

Progress: Progressing well though not as fast as i like it to be as life always throw things to distract you from your goal (not sure whether you have experienced it before)

Personality: Friendly, Creative (not the artistic kind. But in ideas) and Empathetic

ok. That's my 7P. Cheers!

The Long tail advantage- A new perspective for bloggers!

The Long tail theory (2004), by Wired editor Chris Anderson states that Niche players has an edge as niche product sold online enjoys good profit in low volumes as compared to Mass market players (high volume, low profit) as Mass market players are facing mounting price, cost and compettition pressure.

It is all possible because of this level playing field called Internet and it's global reach, 24x7 availability and the power of personalisation/customisation.

The Long tail advantage can be applied to the blogging scene. As mentioned in my previous post, a network of small bloggers united together is bigger than a single superstar site! That's the secret behind Social Networking/ Community sites. The Big Brother companies of the Internet are beginning to realised this. They are starting to acquire these sites.

The point is we have our own niches, i have mine and you have yours. If we combine (linked together), we are a formidable force!

Just imagine, For positive product review! By positive i mean real review! If it is no good, say so!
if ABC beverage company come up with a drink, and All 300 (let's say) of us reviewed the product and even if 85% says it is good! (It will be tremendous positive impact on sales! Just imagine how much real publicity compared to just advertising! not to mention the saving of advertising dollars!).

Word of mouth and recommendation is MORE powerful! I trust my friends and will most likely buy what they recommend! the reverse is true also.

The remaining 15% can be a positive feedback to the company to improve the product. It sure beats paid survey anytime!!!

Let's imagine again, If we activate this force for good cause, green movement, positive blogging direction like Blogging Etiquettes, we can make a difference!

If you are an advertiser or a company or someone that needs help, would you go to a single maga site or a collective linked Bloggers United sites? The answer is clear!

But first we have to be UNITED!

I am not an authority (i am far from it). My blog buddy, bobby of revellian begin this vision, read his post reality niche this. I am just responding to his call.

Use your traffic for a good cause- Finding a friend

I have just received the following badge from NAFA!

THANK YOU! I love the badge and have displayed proudly on my blog side bar. Thanks for being such good blog buddies to me.



Now is a good time to use your traffic for a good cause. Please use your traffic to help someone find her long lost Best Friend:

As mentioned by Bobby in his post reality niche this and Nafasg's Blogging Etiquettes, all 'Novice' and 'Not-so-Mega bloggers' should unite together and create this formidable force for a) Good cause (b) Postive product review/endorsement (c)Blogging direction etc. Together we are larger than a single superstar site! That's the theory behind the Social Networking sites which the Big Brother companies are so interested to acquire.

As requested by Nafa, i have extracted the following article from Nafasg. I am a proud supporter and affiliate of Nafa blog.

------start of article--------

We hope that you can spare some of your time reading this article. It would mean a lot to one of our good friends in the blogosphere, if you can help her in this.Our good friend named Sandy is currently searching for a person whom she had always regarded as her best friend. They were very close to each other, until a conflict between them arose. Ever since then, both of them lost touch of each other.It has been nine long years since they last communicated with each other, and Sandy is deeply affected by her best friend’s absence. Her greatest wish right now is to reunite with her best friend and be close to her like before.


SANDY G



Her best friend’s name is Judy Sanford and is staying with her husband named Mike. According to Sandy, she was last found to be staying in California. Whether she is still staying in California or not is still a question mark. But you could be the person to answer the question!If you happened to know Judy and her whereabouts, kindly inform us or inform Sandy directly via her blog. Even if you have never heard of Judy, you can still do your part by spreading this heartfelt message via your blogs.Your immediate response to this message is greatly appreciated. What we are doing may be something small, but if all of us can put our hands together and be part of the search, it can bring two best friends together again after nine long years.Sandy, please be strong in going through this obstacle in your life. Have great faith that miracles can happen, always look on the bright side of life, and believe that your long awaited wish could come true. We are here for you and will do our best to help you.

Judy, if you are reading this, please contact Sandy as soon as possible. She really misses you and wants to make up for the lost times. Let bygones be bygones. Hope that you will reciprocate Sandy’s feelings as soon as you can.

Criteria for "How much is your blog worth"

You would have guessed it if you follow my blog post:

My blog is worth $7,339.02! how much is your blog ...

I can't find any criteria listed on the "How much is your blog worth" page or anywhere on the web. From my experimentation, the criteria for "How much is your blog worth" are:

1.Technorati Favorite score
2.Technorati Blog Reactions
3. How many links to your blog

As you can see, Technorati ranking is important here since the "worth" program is based on Technorati API.

I was able to raise my blog "worth" from zero in a week via the help of my blog buddies and friends (they add me to their Technorati fav and tags). To them, i dedicate this post. Read the full story here .

If you are interested to raise your blog "worth" beyond zero value, you can apply the techniques explained here

I am on technorati-train, R U?

Mathematical nature of Traffic

Traffic & Math





Similarity: Traffic generation and Math are both systematic in nature. Apply correct methods and you will reap the benefits. Both fields of study require lots of practice.

Difference: Math is mostly sequential in nature. You have to finish step 1 before going to step 2. Traffic generation need not be sequential (most of the time). Applying viral marketing and good SEO build on each other, regardless of the order. You must, however, have good content as a prerequisite.

This post is dedicated to my blog buddy, Winston of eatyourmaths

I can't join PayPerPost yet...

My good blog friends are all on PayPerPost (PPP). Check out the following post!


mariuca ppp-read-all-about-it

janice i-signed-up-for-ppp

Jean first-payperpost-approved

Once you have your traffic, you can start making some money (at least to cover some of your cost).

Remember the PHT formulae:

Traffic = good content+visitors+blog buddies+blog communities+Forum+SEO+Technorati ranking+ viral tags+freebies+X
where X are the rest of the methods discussed/will be discussed on this blog.

Making Money on your blog = Traffic x Web Monetization methods (PPP+Adsense+Affiliate+product+eproduct etc)

Personal note: i can't join PayPerPost (PPP) yet! arg...Because my blog, though it is attracting lots of traffic, is only 2 months plus old.I am frustrated...Anyway, I will update my experiences with PPP once my blog reach 3 months. So stay tuned to this channel...

Traffic Update: The Four thousand visitors mark!

Project Heavy Traffic has about four thousand visitors in 60 days!

Although it has not achieved the 'Traffic Jam' status of the mega-blogs, but it is something to cheer about.

Cheers together with me, my friends and blog buddies!

I am still work hard on improving my Technorati ranking though. Any good advice? Thanks in Advance.

My blog buddy, Bobby wrote very good articles regarding blogging, web traffic and ranking: new bloggers new directions and blogging-traffic-optimization, to the world the truth about bloggers and his more recent post reality niche this.

Check it out!

Cheers!

Part-time blogger dreams BIG!

I wanted to name this blog originally "How to quit your job and start a business" but i realise that i am not an expert in that topic (although i am very interested it it).The real problem is I have not "quit my job and start a business" yet! There is just too much at stake. I am sure many people share my sentiments.

Instead of giving up my Dream, i have started the process...taken small baby steps. I know i can, it is in my blood. I will not let others convinced me that my dream is but a fantasy. I will make them real! You are what you believe!

I have created this blog to share my research and record my journey as a part time blogger generating traffic and hopefully having a breakthrough online. I will be starting an online business soon (separate from this blog. still preparing...). Watch this space. Coming soon...

I have a lot of requests for links exchange, don't worry as long as your site is not of undesirable content, i will add your link.

One of the aims of this site is to create and share traffic. I am more than willing to share web traffic. I know as a newbie (been there before), it is sometime very difficult to generate traffic.

Let's grow together!
