Most people didn’t know that several years ago, I graduated from school with a fashion degree.

And I was really proud of it.

During my stint at an internship, I had the chance to work for some of the top retail labels in Europe such as, “Topshop, NEXT, etc.

I tried learning everything I could.

From designing to sales to managing of staffs – I wanted to know what it took to run a successful retail business.

My plan was to open my own line of retail outlets, coz I didn’t want to just work for anybody.

After all, there isn’t much prospect for Fashion students at that time in Singapore.

One of the most often asked question I received is :

“Jaz, I have limited marketing budget. How can I drive target traffic to my website for free?”

If you are facing the same problem (especially when you are starting out), then you will love this under underutilized method that I am going to share with you today.

What I am going to share with you today is what we call: Forum Marketing.

Forum marketing is a great way that internet business owners use to promote their product or idea.

It is one of the most popular free advertising methods on the internet today.

All it takes is a little time and effort on your part on a daily basis on whatever discussions are going on for that current day.

There are five very good reasons why forum marketing works great for many website owners.

Before the Internet became commercialized in the 90s, people had to rely on physical businesses to make money.

It is after the Internet boom that the world began to see more millionaires pop up year after year.

Unfortunately, poverty is still a major issue in this world.

I am always thankful that I managed to get my finances sorted out at this young age.

Anyone who’s being following me will know my story. My fashion retail businesses failed, and I landed myself in a 6-figure debt in 2004.

It is with the Internet that I managed to turn things around, and become financially free.

Received this 2 big Red Packet when I opened my mail box yesterday.

Great start to my new year. I totally love Passive Income.

Jack (my subscriber) commented on my previous email :

You wrote, “… me and my team are still relaxing…”

When speaking properly, you would not say, “me is still relaxing.” “My team is still relaxing would be OK.”

Proper English ALWAYS requires you to say, “My team and I are still relaxing.”

Don’t say phrases like, “Me and Joe ate pizza.” Always say, “Joe and I ate pizza.”

Hope that helps. Regardless of any personal belief in the importance of good English usage, the FACT remains you will lose a LOT of credibility when making simple English errors. My belief is that when a writer could care less about having important English content properly edited, they probably perform everything else in the same half-ass manner.

What are my qualifications to make these comments? I have earned an undergraduate degree in English, a Doctor of Jurisprudence law degree and a PhD in International Trade.

Well, I sent out an email a couple of days back about clearing off your debts, and I received a reply from one of my subscribers.

As you can see from the quote above, my subscriber proceeded to correct my English and even gave me some advice, which I highly appreciate.

Some of you may wonder if I would be offended (especially when he said I WILL always perform in a half-ass manner).

Before I start I want to welcome a new addition to our family.

Her name is Levine and and she is my new niece.

I am officially an UNCLE. So you can call me UNCLE JAZ!

Hopefully she can grow up to be a successful internet entrepreneur just like me. : )

Ok back to business…

Over the years, as my business grew bigger and bigger, I began to realise a few truths.

For one, success is not easy.

A few days back, I received contrasting comments from two of my students on Facebook.

Reading those comments, it highlighted to me once again how mindsets are what make or break your ability to succeed.

In my business, I’ve seen it countless times while coaching my students.

It’s often easy to tell who are the ones who will succeed, and who are the ones who will not.

Truth is, everyone can do it. Success is a choice.

It’s just a matter of looking beyond one’s self-imposed limitations.

Last Sunday, I finally got a chance to attend a Jacky Cheung concert. To many, he was the God of Songs.

In his heyday, Jacky Cheung was regarded as the new Michael Jackson by Business Week.

With a 25-year career that accumulated numerous awards, he was one of the artistes whom I truly respect.

So when I heard that he was going to be in town, there were no doubts in my mind that I should grab this opportunity to see him live in person.

And he did not disappoint.

As an artiste, Jacky was not afraid to try out new songs and style. (His latest is Jazz by the way.)

That was prominent in the first half of the concert. But he knows his fans.

He knows that people love his classic songs, so towards the middle of the concert, he rolled them out with an unmatched enthusiasm.

So, today is actually a very busy day for me, because I am preparing for a seminar that is about to start 3 hours from now.

As I took a short break from all that crazy preparation, I decided to check my email and see if anything important might have popped into my inbox.

One of my students – his name is Floyd – had sent me an email. Inside the email, he sent me 2 screenshots.

He sounded really excited.

Now, Floyd is a very busy person. He hardly gets the time to devote to his online business, because he’s so busy with his work and has a family to take care of as well.

So we catered our training to his schedule, and taught him one very simple strategy which he could use right away to make money online. I call this strategy ‘ad swapping’.

Today’s a special day for all of us. If you hit the streets… you’ll see a lot people dawning upon red and white combinations in their clothes, the colors that represent the Singapore Flag.

9th August marks our nation’s 46th year of independence.

A date to remember since the year 1965… when the fate of Singapore was molded from a poor little fishing village to now, one of the biggest financial giants in Asia.

Historically, Singapore’s economy was based primarily on its role as an entrepôt for neighboring countries due to its strategic geographic location at the entrance to the Straits of Malacca.

It did not have minerals or other primary products of its own to export, but it served a major economic function by processing and transshipping the goods of nearby lands.

The Port of Singapore is the busiest in the world, surpassing Rotterdam and Hong Kong.
