With exams (SATs) and courseworks coming up, I will have to take a short break from blogging (and my business) in the next two months. As much as I love blogging and working on my business, I have to learn to prioritize things in order to meet my goals. Like they say, “Don’t spread yourself too thin.” The same applies to business.
But if anybody is interested in taking over by writing a couple of guest posts (you may include up to three links back to your website) then feel free to email me at stanley@stanleytang.com, letting me know your topics of interest and how many posts you can contribute. The topic can be anything related to the niche – internet marketing, entrepreneurship, social media etc.
Like I said, you may promote your blog or website in the bylines – but NO affiliate links. So basically you are getting exposure to over 10,000 visits per month for an extended period of time.
Don’t worry. I won’t be completely gone. I will still try my best to provide you guys with awesome stuff through twitter – http://www.twitter.com/stanleytang every now and then. Take care.
Found this awesome slideshow about social media marketing:

Yesterday, internet super affiliate Ewen Chia launched his latest print book, How I Made My First Million on the Internet and How You Can Too!: The Complete Insider’s Guide to Making Millions with Your Internet Business.
He kindly sent me a review copy and I took a quick look. And honestly, I was blown away. It’s literally an step-by-step blueprint of his affiliate marketing system that almost anybody can follow. Although it might not be as “insider” as you may think, it’s definitely worth the $13 from Amazon.
With this amount of incredible content in his book on top of Ewen’s incredible marketing skills, it was no surprise to see the book become an instant best-seller and hit #1 on the Overall Best-Seller’s List on Amazon in as little as 12 hours!
But what does it got to do with me? Well, here’s the interesting thing:
See that section where it says “Frequently Bought Together”? That little blue cover right there is my book – eMillions: Behind-The-Scenes Stories of 14 Successful Internet Millionaires! It got actually recommended by Amazon themselves! Now just imagined the thousands of people who went to that page on the day (it takes hundreds of sales to hit and maintain the #1 spot)… I’m pretty sure quite a few are going to take on that offer from Amazon 
(in fact, it says 6% of the people visiting that page end up buying my book)
Within just 24 hours, my book ranking has soared from 400,000 to 743 (hitting the #1 spot in the Home-Based Business Category)… all with ZERO effort and promotion on my part! (A typical campaign like this would cost anywhere from $1,000 up to $10,000! – unless of course you’re using word-of-mouth marketing)
This is the power of piggyback marketing
Remember to get a copy of my book, eMillions, over at Amazon (and get tons of cool bonuses):
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post explaining how I brought in 184 unique visitors to my blog… just with a simple trackback that took me 2 seconds.
Like any good scientist marketer, I repeat my experiments to ensure accuracy and precision in my results. So the other day, I wrote a blog post called Web 2.0 Is Dying… Or Is It and linked it to the post on TechCrunch (which then got displayed on the trackback list).
72 hours later…
These are 10 useful plugins I personally use that I feel are being overlooked by others:
UPDATE – 11. MaxBlogPress Optin Form Adder (thanks to Carl for mentioning this – awesome plugin) - Insert option form for your newsletter (e.g. GetResponse, Aweber) just by going through an easy 4-step wizard. Right now, it’s just 100% coding so this is going to make it a lot easier for me in the future
