My first post on this new blog

After a week of deciding whether or not I should start a blog, finally I did. Before this I did start a few blogs and some small website but all didn’t go well. Its either I can’t be bothered to update them, or I’m just to busy doing other things. So let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Faisal Anwar and I’m located in Singapore and just graduated from Republic Polytechnic with a diploma in New Media. What I basically learn in the past 3 year is to create new platform to convey a message/story, be it in visual form or sound. We also learn videography, advertising, a bit of design and also game concept. A good example of new media is the “Frozen Crowd In Grand Central”. That’s using advertising in a unique way, not those traditional TVC methods.

Through the 3 years in Republic Poly, I’ve been active online trying to make money. Before this, I didn’t have a computer or know what internet is. Since I was interested in media, the first thing that got me started making money online was metacafe.com. Its a video website which reward video creator based on the views we generate. Its called Producer Reward Program. It was good while it lasted, making me close to $2000 with 5 paying videos. Now that they terminated the program, I requested to pull down all my videos. From then on, I experimented other ways of making money online, from Google Adsense to Clickbank and even starting my own mini eBook.

The thing that got me serious in this online business world was the success of my eBook. For some reason, I can’t tell the topic of the eBook I sold. This 16 page eBook brought me $1500 in only 5 days. After this wonderful experience I thought I should get serious and treat this as my part time job. It sounds easy from what I am telling you but really, it took me  3 years to explore what works and what doesn’t. So don’t wish to earn money online the next day. Its about hardwork and trial and error. Right now I am earning well over $2000 every month as an internet marketer.

I hope by creating this blog, I can share with you some tips and trick I used or even motivate you to start making money online. Not only that, I will also share with you my life as an internet marketer, from what I buy, my outings, how wonderful it is to be earning this way, all about my life. Afterall this is a personal blog!
