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

Life After Leaving the AJ Course

by nigelyip on February 9, 2009

Hey Everyone

Firstly Thank you everyone for all your wonderful messages of support, kind offerings and words of wisdom, recommendations and suggestions. Now to clarify things a little, I think I might have confused some of students with Quitting. Eager eye spotters will already know what I mean. So I shall make it all clear and loud here and that is:

I am Quitting the AJ Course but I’m NOT Quitting making money online or Internet Marketing. So OK, I need to spend time refocusing on the latter topic but with the help on the other coaching course that I have also subscribed too – it’s going to be great and I have great motivation that I will be able to succeed – albeit a slightly different route, but then hey, everybody path is going to be slightly different, no one path is the same!

So how is life after quitting the AJ Course, well it’s been great, I’ve actually got my sleep pattern back again rather than the higgledy piggledy unusual 4am morning bed time and 8am morning wake up – btw, that’s 4 hours of sleep each day and not 28 hours lol. I don’t know about yourselves, but I know my back wouldn’t be able to cope with more than 10 hours of sleep let alone 28hours of sleep.

Still, I’m sure you all may want to know what I’ve been doing since – well, on my first day, I de-cluttered my new PC Desktop, sorted all the relevant files in to corresponding folders etc…, next, I started afresh with a blank piece of A4 paper and started to plan, plan and plan. It’s not a annual plan, but a plan for my blog. A plan for what I want to implement, add and help monetize my site. I ended up implementing the ideas to my S.U.P. rather than this blog – reason?

I want this blog to be a more general blog, i.e. somewhere to discuss about issues, topics, what’s on my mind and progress, etc….

The most surprising thing was that before even hearing Linda’s message at Gary Simpson’s blog, I was already implementing what she was telling us all about about this marketplace/empty storefront scenario before I even knew that Linda’s message existed. When I did albeit 3-4 days later I think , I was laughing myself off, not because it sounded like I was a complete fool chucking an once in a lifetime opportunity away, and yes I could had established myself more in video etc.. that I’ve been disappointing, committed a sin or several etc… but the fact was that yes, Alex and the entrepreneur side of things was teaching us, it’s kool, but then I guess I’ve been there and done that far too many times with all my various business opportunities trials.

Plus, just like Mark (Austin) was telling me as well, that we all have lots of information already on our hard drives, memory sticks etc.. but we just need to Focus and implement it i.e. taking action.

Anyway, today I’m not blogging to toot about how great I am – I’m not great. I still have a lot to learn, and nearly everyone on the AJ Student course has more experience that I have – so I have a lot to learn from you guys and gals too and yes I will forge my own way that I see fit.

So, what I will be doing today and what is my outlook?

Given that we are all facing uncertain and difficult times ahead, and that many of us know that unemployment has been rapidly and continuously rising, not to mention that everyone is, are or will be fearing for the worst to come. During these anxious times, our work, the time and effort we invest in our online business is ever more important than ever.

Of course, some of us will have ambitions plans to increase our reach in the internet marketing niche or whatever niche that tickles our fancy, some of us will plodding away and hoping to quit work, and then some of us may not take any action further upon premature leaving or graduation of the AJ Course. Those latter ones are those, we should be worried about but then again, it really depends on the individual themselves on why they joined, left or graduated from the course.

All I know is that, it is vital to maintain the current momentum, motivation and determination in the pursuit of online success and although, we have or will soon depart our own ways and that our paths may not be the same, who knows where we might cross over and meet again.

Plus with the news of recent scams reported by media, let’s ensure we work closely knitted group, whether you are a current, ex, left, departed, AJ Student, that we continue to take a lead, collaborate with each other, and show them i.e potential IM’ers, newbies, and the general public who are interested in working from home, etc.. that we are not here to just grab their money, but instead, we are here to support one another in genuinely making money online.

All the best and have a great day!
Nigel
