Me and Jonny ZhuI am happy today to introduce Jonny, one of my Business Associates who is the Founder of the Seventh Heaven Fashion! I have personally know Jonny coming to 2 years as a BNI Associate. Their main selling point is that they sell clothes which their female clients can wear to work and allow them to go out with their friends or loved ones immediately after that, saving them the hassle to change. I think this is pretty cool!

I don’t know about you, but to me, I think the attitude of the Business Owner is extremely important especially when it comes to online shopping. You really need to deal with someone you trust. If you ask me, he is one of the few guys I have seen with exceptional service attitude who has the X Factor to make people want to talk to him. As a friend / customer of Jonny, he also gives you some really good tips to help you improve your image.

The above are some of the latest collections over at Seventh Heaven Fashion. Click on the image to go to their FaceBook page and find out more! The price is also very reasonable as well considering the friendly service that Jonny provides =)

I often point people to Google Webmasters Central Channel over at YouTube because Matt Cutts (Head of Google’s Webspam Team) always share important facts for the Webmasters and Business Owners who are very concerned about their Search Engine Rankings.

I have linked up several videos that I believe people who own a website must really take a look. Enjoy and apply these powerful stuff to your site!

What signals are used for ranking other than PageRank?

Is there such a thing about building too many links?

How important is the frequency of updates on a blog?

Making Your Website Sell

Making Your Website SellsI have just finished writing the Guide, Making Your Website Sell and I thought it would be good to share some useful tips to help you maximize your web estate.

This guide is written with the Business Owners in mind because as  I was going around talking to Business Owners and Entrepreneurs, many of them still take website as a very inactive form of marketing channel. Some are paying thousands of dollars just to create a site for informational purpose.

I believe that website can be a very active selling tool for every Business Owner if you follow the right approach. This is the reason why I wrote this free guide, you will learn the following: Continue reading →

Meet My Trusted Business Partner – Bernard Tham from BizAct

It is usual practice for BNI members to meet in the morning every week 7.30am for business networking and referrals. I was at Secret Recipe (CPF Building) this morning with my inner circle of business associates and week after week they have been supporting me and hence, I think I should at least mention who are my closet business associates in this blog and I believe you may need their services as well in time to come.

To start off, I would like to introduce Bernard Tham to you in this post =)

Bernard Tham from BizActI am fortunate to meet Bernard last year when he joined our BNI Chapter (Harvest) focusing in providing accounting services. If you are in business, you will understand the time taken to do up your company accounts. And most of the time, you would agree with me that you rather spend that amount of time elsewhere doing some other income generating activities. Bernard also helps you to detox your company financial by tidying up the accounts which is a not-so-easy task when the business is at least several years old.

Besides accounting services, Bernard also helps your company in taxation like tax compliance, corporate tax returns filing and GST compliance. In addition Bernard also provides corporate secretarial services i.e assistance in the establishment of new entities and ensure compliance matters in relation to the Companies Act are managed. As I talk to Bernard every week, I feel that it is very important for every individual business owner to focus on the marketing and the development of the business rather than accounting. Hence, I see value in outsourcing business accounting needs to experts like Bernard.

This is not an advertisement post as I know Bernard both as a friend and close business associate. I feel that worthy services should not be kept within a network but should actually help to spread the words out. So if you are looking to outsource your company accounting needs or simply want to tidy up your accounts, I would personally recommend Bernard’s company – BizAct.

You can contact Bernard at 6396 8343 or visit their website – BizAct for more information.

BNI Lesson #4 – Inviting People to Your Business Event

Let’s talk about inviting people to your business events in this post =) Although I tag this post related to BNI, the tips that I am going to share later applies to other events as well.

If you have tried inviting people to come for your business events be it networking or talks, you will agree with me that it is not easy to get the numbers especially if you are inviting business man and women because they prioritize almost all events according to ROI (Return On Investment) – if your event does not justify their time to be there, then most probably you will have a poor turnout.

Based on my experiences and observations from the other very experienced networkers in my business circle, I realize that there are only three things that you need to do it properly in order to have a high turn-up rate for your events.

Becoming a Profitable Adsense Publisher

Google has recently announced that they actually give 68% of the revenue they receive from the Advertisers to the Publishers.

AdSense for content publishers, who make up the vast majority of our AdSense publishers, earn a 68% revenue share worldwide. This means we pay 68% of the revenue that we collect from advertisers for AdSense for content ads that appear on your sites.

This means that you can get around $30 per click if you are riding on some good niches =)

I have started using Google Adsense since 2005 and  I only start to see returns until 2007 when one of my sites are having more than 20,000 unique visitors every month. The good news is that the site has good relevant traffic but the not-so good news is that the site has a very very low CPC (Cost-Per-Click) and hence, even I attract thousands of clicks every month, it is just enough to get by.

I will be having a talk at Barter Vista networking event on the 24 May 2010 on how you can increase conversion through your website and some Search Engine Optimization tips if you are interested to increase your Search Engine rankings. I have attached the event poster at the end of this post in case you are interested to find out more.

About Barter Vista

Barter VistaBarter Vista was founded with the sole purpose to help Business Owners save cash by providing a barter platform. Members using this platform can trade their services for points (or up to 50% cash-barter points). One very useful service that I use is the rental of classrooms for my courses. Since last year, I have been using my points to trade for classroom space to conduct my courses and have saved more than thousands of dollars!

You can contact Peter Wang, one of my close business associates who is the Agency Director of Barter Vista if you want to find out more about how you can use this platform to increase your business cash flow as well.

Networking Like A Pro – Book Review

Posted on by

I have just finished reading the latest book written by Dr Ivan Misner, the Founder of Business Network International (BNI). and can’t wait to write you a review! But before I do that, allow me to introduce the three authors:

You will know who is Dr Ivan Misner if you are from BNI but in case if you are not, he is the Founder of BNI, the world’s largest business networking organization which was founded 25 years ago. You can read more about BNI at their official page. Dr Ivan is the most well-respected pioneer when it comes to business networking. It is from his books and podcast that I start to see results from the effort that I put into networking.

Another author is David Alexander. He is an expert in referral training and also operates BNI franchises in several areas. The other author, Brian Hilliard, is a popular speaker and has helped companies like Kraft Foods and National Financial Services Group in their businesses.

To give you an overview, this book contains the following section which I find it is very easy to follow through:

  1. The Networking Mindset
  2. Your Networking Strategy
  3. Networking Face to Face
  4. Making Your Networking Work
  5. Secrets of The Masters
  6. Is Your Networking Working?

I would like to share with you the top three valuable things that I learn from the book and hope that you can benefit from benefit from them as well. Continue reading →
