Its 2:30AM here. I’m currently taking a sip of my coffee and staring at the PC monitor pondering what to write for today’s blog update. I was thinking of writing a Zendikar Standard constructed deck but words and idea won’t pop in my head. I better switch to something more interesting….. Read more
Work at the Moment: The “Conspiracy”

Hey y’all. I am sorry I didn’t able to publish some Mtg dosage for quite awhile now. Its because I got really stuck at work. Yeah.. excuses, blah..blah… I know but I think its worth it.
To give you some hint of what I do for a few weeks now, I’ve been studying and doing report on the training videos my client required me to watch. It is a training about PPC Marketing and doing campaigns of CPA Networks. These training videos were from the Arbitrage Conspiracy, owned by two marketing coaches Aymen and Emmanuel.
I’ve been learning a lot so far although its quite boring sometimes to go on a marathon on the training videos. A few things I’ve learned is that you’ve got to have the patience and a good observation on your campaigns.
Its just like playing Starcraft and utilizing each of your resources for maximum output, although I’m not saying its that easy as it is in PPC Marketing. You’ve got to observe every detail. The good thing though is they have provided a few tools and resources to use to help automate some of the work.
I’m currently on Week 9 of the training and I hope I can finish this so that I can do some real action on my client’s pages. I’ve done a few writings of the Google ads for warm up. Its just a disappointment though because most of the affiliate networks I’ve researched doesn’t cover Philippines to their members. I wish they could change their policy in the future. Still, I’ll be looking forward to implement what I’ve learned and have my own campaigns.
Oh and about Magic? Still doing good. Here’s our Top 8 pose last Feb. 28 tournament.

Got 7th on that one, piloting Boat Brew.
Signing off for now…. back to study mode…

Work at the Moment: Affiliate Marketing 101

My client has given me time during the holiday break to learn and study affiliate marketing through the coaching site that he recommended. This has got me interested but unfortunately I was only able to read a bit during the vacation period.
Based on the training videos, I was like astonished on how they can earn hundreds of dollars on the products they don’t own in a few months time. What could be their marketing strategy? Hmmm… This got me really challenged to learn and to master the techniques that they do in the affiliate marketing business. I also added this one to be one of my targets to accomplish this year (a new year’s resolution perhaps?). I think that should really motivate me. Plus the number of digits that they earn obviously. Hehe…
The coaching offers a step by step process which I bet anyone can easily learn to follow. At the moment, we are still starting the first month and just signed up for Adwords, Overture of Yahoo and MSN Adcenter. I hope we can start building the first affiliate site this week.
