In around 24 hours time, we will be bidding goodbye to 2011 and saying a good hello to 2012 – with a set of various expectations for every individuals.

Looking Back In 2011

Looking back… 2011 has been a good year for me in terms of my online business(es), especially when I am still running all my blogs all by myself. Monthly income generated by these blogs though may not be enough to feed a family but to me, it’s a positive sign that there’s money to be made online and can be a good income opportunity on top of my day job.

A General Overview Of My Online Businesses/Blogs In 2011

In 2011, I have increased my portfolio of blogs to around 12 (and still managing them on my own) – with:

• Four blogs dealing with Affiliate Marketing & Internet Marketing promoting online services and products, e.g. ebooks, software, scripts, video training courses, resale rights products
• One blog promoting Premium WordPress Themes and Premium WordPress Plugins
• One blog promoting Mobile Phone Apps and Developer Scripts for Android Phones and iPhones
• One blog promoting Weight Loss Tips and Weight Loss Products
• One blog promoting Learning & Development Toys for Children
• One blog with a general focus on Financial Planning & Financial Education
• One Flash Game Site
• Two Article Directories

These are the majority of the sites that I have spent quite a fair time on… and there are a few other sites that I have not been able to focus on, namely, sites focusing on health and online fashion. I hope with 2012, I can spend more time on all of my sites. And if I can convince myself I may get a Virtual Assistant to help me out.

You Are Interested In Doing What I Am Doing?

If you are interested or curious to get started with an online business, I believe it’s getting easier over the years. And if you are keen, here’s how you can get started… find one topic that you are interested, do not worry that it may be a very common topic. Once you are done with that, get started with blogging. The setting up may be tough for a start but once you are done with it, it’s easier along the way.

How to make money? There are various ways and methods. To list them here, it may be a very long list. How I can help is if you have set up a blog with a good topic and with fair bit of content – drop me a comment below and I can see what I can do to help you…

What Can Be Expected In 2012

In 2011, I have managed to create enough “evidences” that there’s money to be made online, therefore I hope to make good use of these “evidences” to share with people on how they can do the same as well. And if you are interested, you can share your views on what you are keen to learn and I can just create some topics on my blogs.

In any case, if you are thinking I may not be expanding my online sites… hmmm… I guess I may disappoint you… in 2012… there will be more sites coming along the way. Call me crazy but I think it’s a form of enjoyment and fulfillment.

Here’s To The Best Of Everything For You In 2012

I hope 2012 will be a good year for you in every area – making money, happiness, family, health and having your dreams come true!

Lastly, thanks for reading this post and for your support!

If you are currently running an enterprise (which I will definitely be jealous about it), and would like to create your own online communities for your people, you should check out SocialCast – a service for business microblogging management and enterprise communication.

How Did I Come Across SocialCast?

I am always interested in setting up my own online community and I am keen to see if I can beat Facebook in creating a better social network (ok… I believe that should be quite impossible).

And I came across a few sites like SocialGo, which is more for creating casual social networking sites and SocialCast, which is more for companies and enterprises to run their own internal social community.

Therefore I am writing this post to share with some of my readers who are already Entrepreneurs on the availability of such two services and also a bookmark and reminder for myself, should I be interested to really create one of my own network next time!

Why Would You Need Services Like SocialCast?

Online communities, either on the casual or business level, have been known to bring people and even the whole company together in one central location.

And also online communities, especially for businesses, are known to have helped:

• Increase Efficiency like e.g. Improved information flow
• Improve Productivity by removing unnecessary meetings, emails and calls

But to create your own online community would take up a lot of resources and efforts therefore you would need services like SocialCast who are specialized in creating and managing online communities on a business level to help implement in your company. Saving you lots of time!

Check Out SocialCast Today

If SocialCast is something that you will be interested or would like to do your own comparison, you can check out their official site and read up their detailed explanation on their features and benefits for their three levels of services – Basic, Small Business and Enterprise.

SocialCast also has a good Resources Library that you can tap on to implement a more efficient online community for your business.

If you are in the mood of giving back to society and looking for a charitable organization to support, may I suggest to you to consider WorldVision? And a disclaimer is that I am not paid to do this blog post.

WorldVision is one charity organization that I am currently supporting. Though I am not a volunteer or frequent contributor, I do try giving back (in small tokens) every now and then (from the online sales among my various sites).

How Did I Get To Know WorldVision?

WorldVision is one of the first few charitable organization that I got to know of when I first started work. The other one is Community Chest.

And what is quite prominent about WorldVision, is that those people who are supporting them, will usually talk about their “sponsored child”  and their regular $50 per month contribution to help these needy children. They also talked about the correspondence with them via letters and even at times web conference.

There are even a few people that I know who are sponsoring 2-3 children a month and have been doing so for many years.

And my reason to support a children charity is that I feel that children need a lot of support. Many of these children are brought into the world and left to fight on their own or that they have to live a tough life for most of their childhood lives.

If we have the ability to support them in some ways or the other, we can help to make their life a little better, by giving them:

• healthy diets and food security
• clean water (most children are not so blessed to have clean water right out from the tap)
• sufficient healthcare facilities
• better education that may just help them to break out from the poverty cycle

and also make this world a better place for everyone.

How Can You Help These Children In This Festive Season?

WorldVision is having a Gift Catalogue 2010 that you can view to see how you can start helping out. If you can help out more, you may wish to consider helping out in gifts that are urgent and are life savers.

Else, you can always make a one-time contribution (minimum of $25).

To get a better understanding of what is WorldVision and who they are helping, please do check out their Singapore Official website >> http://worldvision.org.sg/

And do remember the children who needed the most…

Be Blessed!

Do you agree that your emails are very important? If one fine day, I should tell you that you will get to have no access to these emails anymore… how will you feel? Miserable?

And should I tell you that to get these emails back you may to spend around US$49.90 or spend your time downloading a big file of 500Mb application file – will you be pissed off?

If you are nodding your head away and you also happen to be using Microsoft Outlook, then you may want to pay attention to what I have to say about backing up your precious emails with it especially if you do not wish to spend US$50 or time to download…

What Happened When Dexter Did His Backup Of Emails On His Microsoft Outlook?

I was using Microsoft Outlook in the office and have decided to do a backup of these emails. These emails contained a lot of important personal information. After which, I would like to transfer these to my Outlook Express / Mozilla Thunderbird in my home computer.

And the wonderful thing about the whole event will be that I will not have access to Microsoft Outlook after the backing up. I thought the Import function on both software will serve me well enough. I did not check on the Internet if this will pose any serious issue in the future.

The backup file created by Microsoft Outlook is a .PST file.

The Agony Of Importing The .PST File To Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird and Gmail

The agony started when I decided to import this .PST file to my home computer. I do not have a copy of Microsoft Outlook as well. I only have Windows Mail (also known as Outlook Express) in Windows Vista and Mozilla Thunderbird.

Guess what…

The Import Function existed on both softwares will only work when there’s a copy of Microsoft Outlook installed as well.

Gmail does not allow you to import any files and will only allow when you have done up a direct upload to it using one of the functions within Microsoft Outlook.

Fine… I will find a solution online then…

The Search For A Solution Online

The search began with a few sites telling me that this .PST file extension is one way that Microsoft uses to protect their products. I should have known this earlier!

There are a few free solutions provided – to download a ThunderBird Plugin and a Gmail Uploader. These solutions existed back in 2007 and 2008.

Just when there’s a glimpse of hope there and there. At the end of downloading and installing, both solutions can not work at all because they are all outdated.

The only free solution available is that I have to download the latest Trial Version of Office 2010 which is at 585MB. And there’s no direct download from Microsoft and I have to get it  from an external site. Was I successful? Nope. The downloading failed me a few times that I decided to give up!

Paid solutions? Okay… There are two that will work – PST Walker and Recovery Toolbox. And they allow you to download a trial copy only to tease you with their working functions – first 5 – 10 emails being readable and to get the rest, you have to buy at around US$50.

My Agony Will Be Your Precious Lesson

This is a painful experience for me. And there’s indeed a proper way of converting your backup on Microsoft Outlook so that it will be compatible with Outlook Express so if you are doing it, please learn how to do so by doing a proper search online.

If you are currently using HTC Hero and from Singapore, this guide would actually show you how to upgrade to Android 2.1 without waiting for the Over-The-Air update.

Disclaimer: There’s some risks involved in doing this upgrade like you will lose the settings to your HTC Sense layout (which I have experienced) or Datas (it’s over the internet but I did not experience that).

So if you feel that you are not able to go through such risks, then I would suggest that you go through the proper update. If this is fine with you (and agree that I should not be blamed), then you should continue reading on…

How To Upgrade To Android 2.1 For Your HTC Hero

First Step: Back Up Your Data And SMS

1. You would need to download this application from the MarketPlace – “SMS Backup & Restore” by Ritesh Sahu. Installing this application would help you to back up all your SMSes to your SD Card. (Credit – Ritesh Sahu)

2. Backing up all your Applications would require two steps.

a) A Normal sync to your PC using the HTC Sync Program. Do make sure that you have the latest Sync Version – 2.0.33

If not, please kindly download the latest version from HTC website.

This will sync all your contacts/calender to your PC.

b) Backing Up Your SD Card.

By default, when you activate the USB connection on your HTC Hero, your PC will link up your phone like a USB disk drive – allowing you access to the SD Card directly. But to play safe, I would suggest that you unmount your SD Card by going to Settings >> SD & Phone Storage >> Unmount SD card. Then proceed on to remove your SD Card and insert into the adapter that came along with it.

Then insert this adapter into your PC. And copy the whole chunk of information (this will include your SMSes back-up as well) from the SD Card into one of your Folder.

3. Download These Two ZIP files

Now’s the exciting part. Head over to this site >> Android @ MoDaCo and download the two zip files provided by Zane Lee.

Choose the files with the URL http://liveimage….

Once you are done with the downloading, it’s time to get dirty! For the first update file (file size is around 4MB), change the file name to “update.zip”. The second file can be left as per it is. Do check that these two files are not corrupted by clicking open the ZIP files. If they can be be opened and your PC did not prompt any error messages – you are good to go!

Remember your SD Card with the Adapter on your PC? Okay, copy these two files into it. Not inside any folders. Just as per it is.

Finished? Put the SD Card back into your phone. It’s time!

4. Getting The Firmware Upgrade

If you want to play safe. Connect your phone with the PC and activate the USB connection. And within the screen you will be able to see the two ZIP files there. You can click open these files to make sure that they are not corrupted.

Remember to turn on your WIFI, make sure that you have enough battery juice and then proceed on to OFF your phone.

Then turn on your phone by pressing the “Home button” and the “Power On” button together. And you will be brought to the Recovery Mode. If the screen hangs a bit, just press the two buttons again.

And you will be shown a screen with 3 options:

1. Reboot the System
2. Apply sdcard:update.zip
3. Wipe out the system and return to Factory default mode

Choose option 2 with the TrackBall!

This will bring up the Firmware Upgrade Mode and the system will get to work to process the first file. Be patient with this process as it may seemed that the screen hanged but everything is still going well.

5. Getting The Android 2.1 Upgrade

After enduring through this process, your phone will be powered up. And you will be prompted to upgrade your phone to the Android 2.1 platform. Just agree and let the phone download a file and it will proceed to verify the file after it’s downloaded.

Your phone will then proceed to do the upgrade and you will be shown a screen with an orange status bar. I must let you know that this will be quite a wait and a test of your patience as at one juncture, the status bar stopped moving till like 10-15 mins later.

6. Your HTC Hero with Android 2.1

The system will power up and down. Blanked and On a few times. And you will be shown a new startup screen  -the HTC Logo with the words Quietly Brillant… Your phone may even prompt there’s a need to do a Force-Close when it’s up and running (just agree).

Your phone is officially upgraded to Android 2.1 when you are able to do a screen pitch – a new function for your phone.

And it will be time for you to re-do up your HTC Sense layout. Play around with some of the new features and have fun!

Welcome to the Month Of May! Time is really flying past fast! You and I will be seeing half a year gone by in less than 30 days! Here’s what I have been doing for the past 30 days

The Month Of April…

1. Games! Games! Games! I have been playing games for the month of April – a bit non-productive but I see it as a way to work the brain a little >> working out strategies, beating against time and sensing a feeling of Achievement (that will brighten you up if your day has been down…). And the Game Company (Big Fish Games) has allowed me to run a Game Portal over at this site and you can access it over at this link – Dexter’s Big Fish Games Portal

Over at this Game Portal, you can download the game to your system and play for an Hour and if the game really interests you, you can get it at an easily affordable price tag. You’re welcome to drop comments for the games and we can hook up in helping each other in getting past the games!

2. I have resigned from the post of a Salaried Insurance Consultant after 2 years of service with them. This 2 years of experiences have been tremendously good as I get to learn the insides and outsides of the operation of a Insurance Company – the claims experience, the woes and happiness of customers, the harsh reality of a sales career and much more… I guess it’s time to move on! Updates of my next venture shall be updated here!

3. I Love Surveys! The Survey Company – GlobalTestMarket has been releasing quite a fair bit of surveys (a few per week). If you are not in, here’s a brief summary of GlobalTestMarket – you take part in surveys that will earn you marketpoints (range of 5 – 40 points) and once you hit 1000 points, you will be able to encash these points at the current rate of US$5 per 100 MarketPoints. And I have been able to cash out at least once per 3-4 months.

Now to the Proper Update Of My Resolutions:

1. Books. I am currently studying for my ChFC (Chartered Financial Consultant) First Module – Fundamentals Of Financial Planning and Investment (400 pages thick) therefore not able to squeeze in time for other pages.

2. Giving Back. Cash in another US$38 and with the 10% contribution, this will give me $3.80 and a total contribution set to date is at $16.94 + $3.80 = $20.74.

3. Financially. As mentioned above that I have resigned as a Salaried Insurance Consultant so pretty much that I am a Self-Employed Guy now. So let’s see if I am able to work some magic out of my blogs and sites.

4. Online Entrepreneurship. A Game Portal for this site. Reworking on the WordPress Theme Design and Blog Focus for my site after getting various comments from other Bloggers. Setting time to do up my eCommerce site. Busy is good!

5. Health. Going through my Remedial Training now and feeling the difference in terms of health, concentration and fitness level. Weight is slowly going down and this is a good sign!

Entrepreneurship Lesson Learned:

Just a simple one today and that is “If you have to let go, you have to let go, no matter how hard it is and you just have to continue to think big”

What this means is that if you are onto a venture and you have the feeling deep inside you that you just have to let it go, listen to that feeling and learn to let go even how hard it is. You have the greatest asset of thinking big and you just have to continue to think big and work even harder. The Results will be even be greater than before!

Have a Good Month In May!

Welcome to April 2010! 6 Days are gone and soon we will be finishing the first half of the year. So what have you done for yourself to make this year a good year?

An update to the previous post that I have made previously on the voucher issue from MySurveyAsia – apparently after the post was made, the voucher was received one week later. Hmmm… was that post read and worked on or that the people are simply taking their time to work on it? Before I can remove them from the Good Deal Gone Wrong category, I would be trying my luck to get them to send me another voucher.

Now to the proper update of my resolutions…

1. Managed to gun down two books related to sales – How To Mind Read Your Customers by David P. Snyder and The Four Kinds Of Sales People by Chuck Mache. The first book is about the four basic personality – D.I.S.C and should you have taken any personality test before, you will be quite clear of what the four characters are about. I am an I. How about you? Should you be interested in psychology and selling, this book is a mixed of both and you will enjoy reading it.

For the second book, the author shares about the four kind of person that does sale. True to certain extent of what it says about me and I have done cross-reference to the top sales producer in my insurance company and find them relatively accurate as well. So if you are doing sales and seemingly do not know where you are heading towards, pick up this book and know yourself well.

2. Giving Back. I have managed to cash in SGD$135 and another US$37. So using the 10% reference, I should be contributing SGD$13.50 (US$9.65) and US$3.70. So making a total of US$16.94. That’s an achievement, isn’t it?

3. Financially. The counting down has something to do with this section. I have decided to resign from my salary-based financial planning services and my next step is not decided as yet. It’s either commission-based with my present company, with a broker firm, totally out of this industry and/or going back to being a Real Estate Agent. Tough decisions to be made and I pray to God for a clear sign!

4. Online Entrepreneurship. There’s not much addition to my line of business but more of trying to improve on the current ones. I have decided that since none of my ventures are on auto-pilot as yet so it would be better for me to spend more time on each and make it better than ever. There’s no holding back now!

5. Health. Something for you to laugh about. Since I did not pass my IPPT, I am now down to my Remedial Training every Thursday and Sunday. I have done it last year – lost weight and became much more fitter. Hope to use this to achieve the same as last year.

Entrepreneurship Lesson Learned From A Story:

Just one lesson to all entrepreneurs especially those who are running party events, popcorn & candy floss machines rental and advertising via Google Adwords.

For those who do not know, Google Adwords work in the manner that you will have your advertisements in the form of Text Ads displayed in the top and right side of the Google Search Engine. And you will pay for the advertisement only when there’s a click by a visitor.

So the story is that my insurance company is intending to organize a two-day roadshow events and would like to rent a popcorn & candy floss machines and if the deal goes through, the fee is around $1,000. There are three good ads, I clicked and phoned one and got some quotes. But I would like to have a second opinion, so I phoned two other companies, called and guess what happened… the lines are diverted and re-directed many times and nobody picks up. I am even calling during office hours.

So guess who will be getting the deal. Yes, you are right – the first company which picks up the phone!

Therefore my advice to all the Entrepreneurs out there who have their contacts available, please always have someone be ready beside the contact.

For the rest of the month, have fun, improve yourself, plan well, work hard and to your success!

How’s everybody lunar new year celebration? Good? Collected many red packets as well? Do remember to do some savings for yourself – for any emergency funding and also for your retirement! The main reason for starting early is that you can let compounding interest work its magic!

A Special Shout-Out To Some Personal Friends (okay, no names will be mentioned)

I would like to thank two of my lady friends who chanced upon my humble site (I do not really do much site promotion) and reading some of the posts here. And I managed to catch the attention of both with regards to my family background (not intentional) and this led to a small talk which also let me know more about them!

In summary from both conversations: You are never alone when you are down. Even when you are down, always look at the positive side. Live happy and take things at a time and you can see solutions to any problems.

My Resolutions Update:

1. Mentally. Yeah. Managed to get down another book – Know What You Want and Get It! by Norman Monath. This is a good book that shares with you on how to make good use of any situation and any environment to help you get what you want. If you want to create luck in your life – there’s a practical way which makes quite a fair bit of sense. 28 Books to go!

2. Giving Back. Managed to bank in US$27.99 and that’s $2.80. Making a current total of $3.593. If you think that I am giving back way too little (I committed 10% of bank-in profits), there’s a piece of good news! I have just received a cheque of US$114 and once I am able to cash it in – it will be another US$11.40 to my giving back!

3. Financially. Frankly speaking, it’s another not-that-impressive month in terms of insurance sales. Could it be the Lunar New Year atmosphere? Or just me? I may want to seek your help here… If you have life insurance and a committed Financial Planner – share with me, why you decide to get an insurance plan, how he/she managed to convince you? This two piece of information will help to improve – definitely!

4. Online Entrepreneurship. Things are picking up over at my erm… 8 sites. And seems like there’s a little activities around the site which is really a good sign. Will work towards in improving!

5. Health. I must admit! My weight did not reduce and I am taking some supplements to help maintain or to help reduce my weight. I am walking up the stairs each day after work! I am serious in losing weight!

Some Entrepreneurship Lessons Learned:

>> Document Your Daily Achievements and Tasks

There’s many things to be done. What best way to remind what you have done and to let you keep track what is contributing – by documenting down! What I have done is that I used a desktop calendar and within the small boxes, items that I have specifically done. In this manner, you know what you have done. Too many empty boxes – it’s time to wake up and get things done now!

>> Clear Your Working Area And Your Laptop Desktop

Too often a time, you may get too engrossed with your work and you may end up clogging up your physical working area and having lots of files on your laptop desktop. Relax and take some time to clear off these areas. Believe me, this will help you in quite a few ways: bring in a little luck and help to keep you more relaxed.

Okay, I will be ending here for my experiences from February 2010. I believe March 2010 will be a good month for me and you as well!

Resolutions Update:

1. Mentally. I have managed to finish a book by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer - Excuses Begone!: How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits to help improve on my mental attitude which I also believe many Entrepreneurs will definitely benefit from (to stop giving yourself excuses due to personal limitations). I am on my second book now. So this leave me 29 books to go!
2. Giving back. I have realized profit (already credited) of US$7.93 so I will be contributing $0.793 to both my Church and World Vision. As this is still a small amount, I will make the contribution once both hit $25.
3. Health. Weight is currently at 72kg. And I am also consuming one less coffee each day. Good way to better health!
4. Financially. As a Financial Planner, it seems like I am not doing well in getting people insured in the month of January. Which also means that I did not really hit my sales quota. This, which I hope, I can have a turn-around real soon. May God Bless Me!
5. Online Entrepreneurship. In this area, I am more organized now by having proper planning and updating. Overall my sites are maintained and updated at least twice in the month.

What I Have Learnt As An Online Entrepreneur:

>> You must have a strong and positive mindset.

I am naturally a negative person and easily affected by the opinions of others (signs of low self-esteem). End day will be that the whole day is affected. This affects my attitude towards my customers (less enthusiastic face-to-face consultation) and also towards my style of blogging (writing sub-standard blog posts). Therefore a strong and positive mindset is very much necessary. As an Entrepreneur, you have to think of solutions around your problems and not to keep bothering about the problem.

>> You must understand what you are good with.

Many people say that I am crazy to maintain over 8 sites and that more sites will be created soon. They often say “Is this worth it and making you money?” These are really food for thoughts and though I may be better off concentrating one main site – end of day, I am contented and being able to produce good enough content and to improve on the functions of most of my site. Those with one site, one niche topic are good with just… One! I am able to handle 8 sites and 8 different topics which make me with multi-talents… Eight!

>> Do not be too obsessed with the monetary side – Every Day!

Most of my sites are supported with advertising and with affiliate products – which I have the temptation to check on the sales result… Every Day! If there’s no sales, I will start questioning myself where did I go wrong. This, in turn, affected my way of doing up my sites – every bit of actions/updates MUST generate a sale. This is totally wrong! I tried to change my thinking and to continue what I am used to doing. Guess what?! Sales are back!

>> Get What Is Needed To Be Done First First!

You are not reading it wrongly. There’s two Firsts. Given a choice to just laze around than to crack your brain to create a new blog post – most will choose the first one. And when you have seriously rested enough and would like to get back to real work… Guess what, you are drained! You will be merely trying to rush through your work. End result: Substandard Work! Vicious cycle of no results shall start!

These are the lessons that I have learnt during my journey as an Online Entrepreneur in the month of January 2010. What kind of experiences will the month of February bring me? This is going to be exciting!

My Wishes To All In The Month Of February!

Happy Lunar New Year To All Who Will Be Celebrating! May this new year refreshes you and bring you better perspective in life and in your business. May your actions bring you great wealth. Also stay healthy and do exercise! Also remember to give back instead of asking for something back!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Though this is a Special Day set for us to really show our love and appreciation to your special ones, you should make everyday a day of giving thanks to someone who has made it special for you. If you like to share your thanks, I have this site for you to post your thanks!
