			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who don&#8217;t know yet (and weren&#8217;t following me on Twitter), I&#8217;m currently starting a new charity with a friend of mine called RevoCreativity. It&#8217;s going to be more of a local project here in Hong Kong (unlike my other sites which are targeted to USA) and we&#8217;re basically going to hold concerts and events, sell tickets and get sponsors for it for charity, and promote art and music etc.</p>
<p>Personally, I&#8217;m pretty excited about this as this is just another example of following your passion and giving back to society. I&#8217;ve been an artist pretty much since I was a little kid and won numerous art competitions; I&#8217;ve also been playing the piano since I was 6.</p>
<p>Anyways, today, we met up with Philip, who is a local graphics designer. We were suppose to hire him and pay him money to help us create the logo for our charity/website. I was planning to just outsource the design works to a graphics designer on the internet but I guess it&#8217;s better to meet them in person <img src='http://www.stanleytang.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>We&#8217;ve told them our plan, what we were going to do etc. I guess he was extremely touched by our stories and the fact that we were just two 16 year olds trying to make a difference, and he ended up doing the logo design for us for free.</p>
<p>Just goes to show that when you ask, you will receive. People will be willing to help you out for free if you have a good STORY (just like <a href="http://www.emillionsblog.com/how-about-this-for-a-promotion-frontpage-news-coverage/" target="_blank">how I got onto the frontpage of Apple Daily</a>)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is might sound completely crazy&#8230;</p>
<p>In fact, fact is I&#8217;d probably never put such an inflated price tag on a single sheet of paper but after checking this out I&#8217;ve changed my tune.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the story&#8230;</p>
<p>You see, last January, Yanik Silver led a 6-day Epic business adventure in Baja, Mexico. You had to qualify to attend (meaning: be ultra successful and have the right adventurous attitude).</p>
<p>He was out to combine business building sessions while creating lifetime memories blasting 80mph through the Baja peninsula in Porsche-powered Dune buggies. And on the 3rd day of their trek - they came to &#8220;Scorpion Bay&#8221;. Pretty much in the middle of nowhere but most famous for the world&#8217;s second longest surf break.</p>
<p>It was here that Yanik had to give, quite possibly, the presentation of his life&#8230;</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, he had to do it with no PowerPoint, no mic, no workbooks&#8230;pretty much nothing but one single sheet of paper stuffed deep into his backpack at the beginning of the trip.</p>
<p>Looking out into the audience he had everyone from one-man Internet superstars raking in multiple 7-figures in their flip flops to $900M International Resort developers and $100M Manufacturing conglomerates. These 26 top-gun entrepreneurs and business leaders had each paid about<br />
$15,000.00 between membership fees and trip costs to be here (if they met the strict criteria to attend).</p>
<p>Yanik&#8217;s problem?</p>
<p>What could he say to such a wide ranging group that would create more profits for each of them no matter what business or product they sold?</p>
<p>The answer: That single, 8.5&#8243; x 11&#8243; sheet of paper.</p>
<p>That page held Yanik&#8217;s MindMap detailing all the little tweaks, hacks and immediate profit opportunities in any business&#8230;that are pretty much being overlooked 98% of time. (Or, if you don&#8217;t have a business already - this was a blueprint for wringing the most revenue out of one when you do start it.)</p>
<p>Want to see what he covered?</p>
<p>You can check it out here -</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stanleytang.com/recommends/maverickbusiness.html" target="_blank">http://www.stanleytang.com/recommends/maverickbusiness.html</a></p>
<p>Not only will you be able to get your hands on the single sheet of paper but also get Yanik&#8217;s entire closed-door presentation. Plus, an entirely lopsided deal in your favor&#8230;when you tell him &#8220;Maybe&#8221;.</p>
<p>Trust me, check this out before he decides it&#8217;s almost too good. (Though there are 2 qualifications to make<br />
sure - not just anyone has this info.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stanleytang.com/recommends/maverickbusiness.html" target="_blank">http://www.stanleytang.com/recommends/maverickbusiness.html</a></p>
<p>And yes, anybody who invest in this package will receive a bonus interview I conducted with Yanik Silver. Just forward me the receipt to stanley at stanleytang.com and I&#8217;ll send<br />
you the bonus over within 12-24 hours.<br />

<li><strong>Email marketing is one of the fastest ways to leverage on the Internet.</strong> Because all you do is compose an Email, customize it to suit the reader (their first name or last name), and click the broadcast button to reach thousands of people instantly!</li>
<li><strong>Email marketing is highly scalable.</strong> Unlike an ‘offline’ business where the more customers you have, the busier you are, in Email marketing, it is much easier because regardless of the size of your mailing list, whether it is 100 or 10,000, all you need to do is click broadcast and everyone on the list gets notified – all for the same effort!</li>
<li><strong>Email marketing is highly targeted.</strong> One of the reasons why Email marketing is highly effective at getting sales is because the recipient of the Email gets a kind of ‘in your face’ promotion. You are marketing directly to the customer through their PERSONAL mailbox. Not only will you grab their attention firmly, they will tend to respond with the right buyers mindset because they are marketed to directly (unlike other advertising where the buyer might not be in the frame of mind to buy things).</li>
<li><strong>Email marketing is personal.</strong> Autoresponders allow you to customize the Email in such a way that it allows you to connect with the subscriber individually. The more personalized your Email, the better the result (treat it as though you are writing to your best friend).</li>
<li><strong>You can automate many tasks with your autoresponder.</strong> For every new opt-in subscriber, you can time your Emails for you build a relationship with every new opt-in subscriber – what to send to them, when to send it to them and the frequency between each Email.</li>
</ol>

<p style="text-align: left;">Creative content is the key to creating buzz</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yesterday, I had the pleasure of interviewing <a href="http://www.deanhunt.com" target="_blank">Dean Hunt</a> from the UK. Dean is one of the leading experts in the field when it comes to buzz marketing&#8230; and he&#8217;s only 26 years old! He&#8217;s truly a marketing genius and knows how to get people talking.</p>
<p>For those of you who have been a subscriber of mine will probably know that I&#8217;m a BIG fan of viral marketing and I happen to agree with many of the stuff Dean said. It&#8217;s all about creating CONTENT that will turn into link baits - whether its humor, quality tips, controversy, value etc. Read the interview below:</p>
<p><strong>1. What did you do before you stumbled across the internet? And how did you eventually got started with internet marketing?</strong></p>
<p>I have done everything from graphic design, to being a professional golfer. I squeezed a lot into my youth. I stumbled across Internet Marketing really without knowing exactly what it was. I created a sports betting forum in 2003, and basically I wanted to make it popular, so I just experimented with lots of techniques. It was only later that I realized that what I was doing was actually called &#8220;marketing&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>2. What initial obstacles did you face and how did you overcome them?</strong></p>
<p>Lack of funds were my main issue early on, so I overcame them by being creative, utilizing contacts, and learning how to get noticed.</p>
<p><strong>3. What is the difference between buzz marketing and viral marketing?</strong></p>
<p>For me, buzz is the action and viral is the result. For example, if I stand in Time Square New York naked and sing &#8216;Like a Virgin&#8217; by Madonna, then I will create a buzz, later, if people tell their friends about it, then that is the viral stage. So really, viral marketers are actually buzz marketers who are looking to go viral, they just don&#8217;t realize that yet.</p>
<p><strong>4. How did you become known as the buzz marketing expert?</strong></p>
<p>Again, kinda by accident. I started my blog as simply a way to keep my thoughts and ideas, it wasn&#8217;t really something that I wanted to share with the world, but then I started getting traffic, and when I analyzed that traffic, I noticed that people responded most to anything that was creative, different, funny, or edgy. A pattern soon emerged, and I discovered that creative content is the key to creating buzz.</p>
<p>I also have managed to have huge success over and over again on sites like Digg.com, so that has helped cement my place as the leading buzz marketing expert on the net.</p>
<p><strong>5. Could you perhaps use a case study of yours and walk us through a step-by-step process to a successful buzz marketing campaign?</strong></p>
<p>I actually have done a few case studies, you can download one of them here: <a href="http://www.webtrafficorgasm.com/casestudy.zip" target="_blank">http://www.webtrafficorgasm.com/casestudy.zip</a> or signup for free at <a href="http://www.buzzprofits.com" target="_blank">www.buzzprofits.com</a> and I will send you them all. They show EXACTLY how I did it.</p>
<p><strong>6. What do you exactly do to monetize your buzz marketing efforts?</strong></p>
<p>I use what I like to call &#8220;down the line monetization&#8221;. What this means is that I don&#8217;t look to profit from the traffic straight away. Most people don&#8217;t grasp this concept, and that is why they have to work a lot harder than me to go viral.</p>
<p>Say for example you create come killer buzz content, and you get 100,000 visitors in a one day period. The usual method is to plaster your site with loads of adverts, and if you are lucky, you can make $200 from adsense.</p>
<p>That is what most people do.</p>
<p>However, for that $200, you now have 100,000 people who think your site was annoying, spammy and crap. So you will never see them again.</p>
<p>What I do is don&#8217;t look to monetize instantly, in fact, I have been known to strip all ads off my site when I detect that I am about to go viral, and my personal blog has zero ads on it. Then, when people come, they read my content, they check my other stuff, they subscribe to my newsletter, they add my feed to their reader, they bookmark me, they email their friends etc&#8230; and I build a relationship/following with them.</p>
<p>Now, as well as dramatically increasing the popularity and value of my site and brand, these extra followers can be sold to at a later date, hence why I call it &#8220;down the line&#8221;. I sell to them later down the line.</p>
<p>It might even be 6 weeks later.</p>
<p><strong> 7. What else do you do to make money online apart from buzz marketing?</strong></p>
<p>I recently started doing consultancy services to web businesses that want to dramatically increase the popularity and profits in their company. I do this with my awesome biz partner Barry Dunlop (<a href="http://www.BarryDunlop.com" target="_blank">BarryDunlop.com</a>) and it is going well. I don&#8217;t normally plug, but if anyone is interested in our services, please contact me ASAP at my personal email: <a href="mailto:deanhunt08@gmail.com">deanhunt08@gmail.com</a> as we only have two places left on the program.</p>
<p><strong>8. You have an very interesting blog with tons of personality in it - the bunnies, the $1 million dollar review, the 6 billion RSS reader etc. Tell us a bit about these and why do you do those wacky stuff. It&#8217;s certainly not things you see normally on a typical blog.</strong></p>
<p>That is why I do it. Most people don&#8217;t get why I do it, but it is the same reason that people where bright clothing&#8230; to be noticed and remembered. I read hundreds of blogs per week, and I forget about 99% of them. The ability to stand out above the crowd, get noticed, and be remembered is the essence of buzz marketing and branding in today&#8217;s world.</p>
<p><strong> 9. Any final comments? Plans for the future?</strong></p>
<p>I know there are a lot of businesses struggling out there at the moment, so I would strongly recommend that they contact us ASAP and we can discuss some exploits, techniques and strategies to improve their Internet Success (<a href="mailto:deanhunt08@gmail.com">deanhunt08@gmail.com</a>).  Thanks for your questions, and I hope that this has been useful to your readers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seriously. I don&#8217;t get why people care so much about their Alexa ranks&#8230; and people start freaking out when they see that their rankings start to drop. A person once asked me, &#8220;Stanley, how much traffic do I need to break into the top 100,000 on Alexa?&#8221; And the answer is&#8230; I don&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the thing. Over the past few months, I&#8217;ve had many sites break into the top 100,000 yet each of those sites had completely different amounts of traffic.</p>
<p>For example, recently with <a href="http://www.stanleytang.com">StanleyTang.com</a>, it received over 12,000 unique visitors in a 24 hour period after being featured on the <a href="http://www.emillionsblog.com/how-about-this-for-a-promotion-frontpage-news-coverage/">frontpage of AppleDaily</a>, yet Alexa says it only has a ranking of 73,000. On the otherhand, <a href="http://www.emillionsblog.com">emillionsblog.com</a> received just 1,000 unique visitors that day (12 times less traffic) but according to &#8220;accurate Alexa&#8221; it had a ranking of 60,000. In fact, a few months ago, one of my niche sites cumulated over 1,700 unique visitors that particular day and it soared into the top 20,000 on Alexa.</p>
<p>So which one should I believe:</p>
<ul>
<li>12,000 UV - 73,000 Alexa Rank</li>
<li>1,000 UV - 60,000 Alexa Rank</li>
<li>1,700 UV - 20,000 Alexa Rank</li>
</ul>
<p>Unless you offer some sort of advertising service (in which case it looks &#8220;good&#8221; to potential advertisers) or you just simply want to brag about it to your internet marketing friends/customers (in which case you can simply purchase Alexa traffic bots from the DigitalPoint marketplace), I personally wouldn&#8217;t care too much about my Alexa ranks. The only &#8220;real&#8221; traffic stats I care about are my Google Analytics and AWStats.</p>
<p>What do you think of Alexa rankings?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vince Tan is at it again.</p>
<p>In case the name Vince Tan is not yet ringing any bells with you, this is the guy that pulled off one of the biggest firesales of 2007, doing <span style="text-decoration: underline;">$69,000 in sales in a mere 7 days</span>.</p>
<p><strong>&#8230;out of nowhere.</strong></p>
<p>Yes, he came out of nowhere and racked up the kind of sales that some never accomplish after years of being online.</p>
<p>He proved that it you WANT it you can do it.  In fact, Vince became quite the inspiration for many a marketer who never thought this kind of fast online success to be possible.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s why we&#8217;re talking about this now, in 2008. you see, Vince is going to do it again, this time shooting for 6 or even SEVEN figures with NO out of pocket expenses!</p>
<p>Vince has made it his personal goal to show that ANYONE that wants to accomplish this kind of success online can do it, regardless of how much money they have OR don&#8217;t have to start with.</p>
<p>Vince&#8217;s firesale will go live on 18th November, BUT for now, you stand a chance to win the complete firesale package plus some other extra stuff  worth $1,500 (or more!) by going to the site below and guessing the total value of the firesale package!</p>
<p>Remember, that&#8217;s 100+ top IM products that are currently selling in the market Today!</p>
<p>Of course I&#8217;ve already put in my guess <img src='http://www.stanleytang.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.stanleytang.com/recommends/biggestfiresale" target="_blank">http://www.stanleytang.com/recommends/biggestfiresale</a></p>
<p>Vince has already managed to get over 100 Top Marketers to join forces on this (including me), again, without spending any of his own money, so you really should follow this closely, and be on the lookout for the official launch on November 18th, 2008.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stanleytang.com/recommends/biggestfiresale" target="_blank">http://www.stanleytang.com/recommends/biggestfiresale</a></p>
<p>Take care,</p>
<p>Stanley Tang</p>
