Automation and Systems – It’s good to have a separate blog!!!

by nigelyip on April 21, 2009

Hey my dear friends

Today, it’s going to be short post and that is, it’s great to have a separate business blog as it makes much more sense. Why? Well you see, those who have visited NG2MS will noticed that it’s based upon 2 niches, those being making money online with eBay and help with making money online with membership sites.

The advantages of having a separate blog is that it mean that I can discuss anything I like or feel appropriate on this blog whilst the other one has been fully automated and running pretty much on autopilot.

Autopilot??? Yes that’s right, NG2MS is now pretty much automated being that I have written all the blog posts for it and automated it to schedule put up posts and there are affiliate products which I hope people will click, look and hopefully buy and the only thing I have left to do is promote it, get more traffic to it and not just any traffic but “pre-conditioned” traffic to it and let it take it from there.

Autopilot or Automation – which ever one you may wish to prefer to call it, it seriously a great way to help alleviate time and reduce stress. It also mean that I can be sitting out in my friends garden whilst having a BBQ with him, discussing everything about the world, how he would put things right, and literally have a great laugh playing PC games or pool at the local “Riley’s” without having to worry about timing myself to get on a pc and put a blog post up.

Imagine, if you automated parts of your business, or other business. For example, my eBay business is pretty much on autopilot too – I simply put a few products up, sit back and just wait for people to come and buy it, when they do, at the end of each night, I just spend a hour or two, packing and dispatching the products.

Also again with my offline Home Biz Opps business, I have 3 products and each one I have developed an autopilot system for them which involves me spending no more than 2 minutes per order.

By implementing automation for my blog, it means that I can afford time to run my other businesses, and because I have implemented systems which help to semi-automate these other business, it means that I can also work less, have more fun and literally more free time to do the things I want or investigate and implementing new IM products and courses.

Now, I just need make more money, employ a VA and then I’m sorted. Have you implemented automation or a system yet? I love to hear what works for you and how you reduce hours on your business

All the best

F Something with a 13 in it – the time is nigh!!!

by nigelyip on February 3, 2009

Hey Everyone,

Firstly, I like to take this opportunity to Thank all that have supported me over the past few months and since the coaching course has started, but unfortunately I have decided that I would bid farewell to you all as I have decided to leave. The reason I am quitting is that my focus and passion for this course seems to have deserted me and also, to me personally, it feels likes 100/0 rule rather than the 80/20 rules for me – that is 100% effort / 0% returns.

Prior to this and during the first few modules, I was always excited, raring to go and pretty much highly motivated, as some will have seen, however, now though, and I don’t want to sound rude or anything,  expecially yesterday’s webinar: module 6 and also module 5,  I somehow managed to nod off several occasions during both seminars – if you have read module 6 -part 1 you will know.

So, Why did I nod off on several occasions? I simply, really don’t know, but what I do know though is that, the course simply has dragged on longer than I expected which unfortunately meant that all my planning has been screwed up despite various re-planning and even those have to be thrown out of the window too.

Additionally, I don’t want to make it hard work for Alex, or everyone else either, especially since he did promise to everyone one of us in his sales video, that he would spend no matter how much time and effort necessary, in helping everyone one of us achieve online success. Not only, this, I personally do not want to hinder Alex, himself, or your success  in any way either, towards achieving and surpassing your $1 Millon dollars dreams & targets.

You are all a wonderful bunch of great guys and gals who are dedicating to helping others, and you all deserve every success you have and more. Most notable Alex, for venturing out his first coaching course and to create such great might and force in such a short space of time.

What I must mention is that my time with being in the fortunate 500, I do feel exceptional privileged to have met you all, however on the other hand I have felt overly stressed out and exhausted, and am under performing, hence another reason why I have decided to leave.

Although I am prematurely departing before graduation, I will still apply what Alex has taught me, I guess I will simply do it just at my own pace, maybe with a twist or something. Currently, for me there is something that doesn’t quite fit in, maybe I’m not ready for this, maybe I just need to take some time off, refresh my mind and re-plan, re-read the 4-Hour Work Week – and maybe then, I might be more adversed with tackling this online Internet Marketing Niche business chess game.

Good Luck to you all and all the best with your future endeavors and ventures
Nigel

PS: Remember the clue: “F Something with a 13 in it?” =  can you spot the clue?   Hint: Something beginning with the letter F contains the number 13 in it?

Answer: the month February begins with the Letter “F’ and it is something that contains a 13 in it i.e. the 13th day and what a great coincidence too: Friday 13th February 2009!!! aka Black Friday
