End Of Oct Report

Oct is a good month. I earned above $2,000. I doubled my income compared to last month. It's the highest since June. I work far less hours and yet doubled my income. Last few months I worked more than 12 hours a day. This month I work only 4 hours.

I got enough job next month to exceed this month income. Most of my income comes from website design. The amount is bigger. My ebook sales is still giving me a quarter of my income.

One advice from the millionaire guru is to sell high-ticket items. You charge people not by the number of hours work, but by the outcome. If I spend a few seconds to knock on the right spot and fix the problem, then I should be paid for the outcome. It takes me a few seconds to fix the problem but it took a lifetime to master the know-how. It's just like a magic show performance.

Although my income has increase with a day job, I have debts to clear. My goal is to clear all my debt by November so that I can spend a debt-free Christmas and have abundance to share with the less fortunate folks.

Now I can quickly set up a website with autoresponder in 6 hours. For that I can charge $600 for it. This month, I charged $600 for a day's work in copywriting.

My goal has been to earn $100 day. Now I realise that I have the potential to earn $600 a day if there's customers every day.

The reason why I am not earning to my potential is cos I am spending more than on production creation than on marketing. I am not upselling enough.

Here's one good advice for you. Spend at least 50% of your time on marketing.

I Found a New Language

It has been 7 years since I left my programming job as a senior Delphi programmer because there was no demand for Delphi programmers in Singapore.

The products that I dearly love so much had faded - dBase, Paradox, Delphi. I could not make a living doing what I love cos there was no demand.

With the advent of web 2.0 technologies, what will be the next best new programming language to learn. I want a language that is fun, easy to learn and application to the web technology.

Finally I found one that does what I want: the easiest programming language in the world, one that is cross platform across Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac Os, and one that produces web-based web applications.

The language is called Run Revolution. It has its root in Hypercard. Today I tried my first 'Hello' program. It's very cool. I love it. The codes are very short with English like syntax. Very much like Cobol.

Run Revolution is going to be my new toy, my new hobby, my new mistress. I can be sitting on my computer and tinkling with the codes for hours, and absorbed in my own world. This is an addiction man!

Welcome to the new world.
