Remember the recent blog post about my participation in the giveaway events? The reason I join Giveaway events is to build my list. After 2 years of being full time in internet marketing, I realized that I order to enjoy the consistent income as online entrepreneur, I must have my own list.

My list was only close to 500+ names prior to join any giveaway events. However, this exercise is really open my eye on how to build my list FAST! Yes, I am talking about building a list from merely 500 to 2,000 list by now. I am not the only success story, recently I also found out another unknown marketer did that. Check out Lisa Preston about her achievement in last year EasterJVGift Event and how she has been waiting patiencely since last Christmas.

You can imagine the work I have done is pay off, I have 2,000 name list by now. If you are interest to build your list fast like me, check out the current giveaway event below:

Have you considered this for yourself? And how much do you think your time are supposedly worth? Most of the time as small business owner, we always fall in the trap of trying to do everything our own and refuse to outsource.

After reading the timeline story from Gobala, he reminded me again about these questions - “What is my time worth”? and why should I outsource some of the works instead of doing all myself.

I knew he can write well (He wrote some of the good book – ChapterM.com & Easy Wordpress System). However, he chooses to outsource the writing job to someone else in RentACoder since we can get a very good & cheap labor for writing (Read my post on first outsourcing job). I just amazed that, after sometimes his income level is increasing instead of dropping. Bear in mind, he has to pay for writing cost before he manages to make money from the new projects.

In fact, starting this month, I begin to study some of the materials that help me to manage my time well. One of the secrets in managing your time well is outsourcing on those work that you are not good at. In my example, writing. I learnt how to outsource writing for some of the articles for article marketing, I learnt how to get someone write for my sales letter, etc….

Writing is no longer an expensive job you can hire from someone. You should focus more on your strength instead of your weaknesses. It is not worth the time for you to learn and do everything yourself.

I use a calculator created by Peter above to re-discover my worth of time and certainly I got the inspiration not to waste time to do works that I am not happy to do myself. Go and get yourself one and calculate what is your time worth. You will find that your time can worth so much more and you will never try to spend your time unproductively. Start outsourcing today!

There are many ways you can use to promote your blog, These are the 10 methods that I use to increase traffic to my blog.

1) Technorati & Del.icio.us - Social bookmarking is getting popular now and more and more people tag their posts and publish in the sites like Technorati, delicious, diggs, flur, yahoo and many more. There is a plugin allow you to submit your post to these 2 social bookmarking sites. You can use the simpletag plus plugin for Wordpress to perform this task.

2) Directory - Submit to as many directory sites as possible in order to get more exposure and linking. You can use manual submission and automatic submission. For new blogs, I suggest you do manual submission until Google, Yahoo and MSN index your site. One of the directory I submit is Easy Wordpress Blog Directory. You can do the search in Google on other directory available for submission.

One of the way to get to know each others is to meet up especially people in the same industry with you. It is also not a exception in internet marketing.

Most of the time, people think of working in internet marketing could be very lonely as we don’t go out to meet our customers and subscribers. Which only part of the internet marketing business. We are not just communicate with people online via email and blog most of the time but also meet up with other internet marketers and bloggers.

Last week, I have the opportunity again to meet up with other young internet marketers in Mid Valley. Six of them turn up in the meeting and they are (from right) Gobala Krishnan, Syazwan, Hafiz, Sabri, Colbert Low and myself.

You can discover their similarity is they are young (me too, all below age of 35 ) and come from multi-racials. Who say there is not happening in this industry in Malaysia?? They all are experts in different fields and building the name quietly behind the scene.

While most of the people still shopping in the Mid Valley, we have our disucssion on various topic on internet marketing and exchanged experinces. I hope meeting like this will continue and we can meet up more often as this will help to encourage each other in business. It is always good to meet up with other internet marketers.
