Do you satisfied with your broadband internet connection speed? I’m using TMNet Streamyx and pay RM99 every month to get 1Mbps speed. But am I getting what I’m paid for?

AuditMyPC has come out with useful tool to test this out. I got pretty good 614 kbps for download while upload merely stood at 284 kbps.So, how about yours? Give it try..

Being a part time blogger or IM(Internet Marketer) and at the same time having to work on 9-5 job is pretty hard I feel sometimes. Other than tiredness, you have to be punctual in doing your tasks. There’s no better way in handling this other than having your own schedule and checklist of what you should do everyday.

For myself who work 9 hours per day (including 1 hour rest time), I used to spend 2 more hours in the office for meetings, trainings or urgent issues that must be handled and solved immediately and ASAP. This adds additional burden and limits my time even further to do my part time job since I have to divide the time with my family as well.

So how do I manage all tasks daily ? I’m not very good on that, but I have a few tips that you might want to try.

Managing and reading your emails
This is one of the tasks that would normally take most of your time, especially if you have a lot of email addresses for each of your websites. The best way is to download your emails to your email clients such as MS outlook or Eudora. It is tedious to go trough each email account one by one, and even worse if our email is sitting on different servers which require different login URLs and user information. For free emails such as Gmail or yahoo, it might be easier since you only have to sign in and out only, but better still, it is not a user-friendly task for you.

If you can’t afford MS Outlook (which comes with your MS office), you can use MS Outlook Express (called on MS Windows version prior Vista) or called MS Mail in MS Vista, which came free with the OS. Uedora is pretty good too, I had tried it before.

If you’re using smart phone with wireless email or WLAN capabilities, that is even better. You will stay connected with your email wherever and whenever you are.

Deal with your family or spouse properly
This may sound weird for some of you, but this is real. Family is the most important thing you’ll ever have, but sometimes you spend lesser time with them than with your part time job or your permanent job. Let them understand what you’re doing in the most basic way and tell them what and why you doing this, and maybe give them some advantages that they might get if you’re successful. Attract them to join you in doing this together, 2 person is always better than 1.

If you have Paypal account or Adsense check, show it to them, that this is what you have achieved so far. Impress them and make them feel interested to join you. Living in peace and harmony as well as having cooperation from your spouse and family, will make your effort being appreciated and probably double the outcome too.

Rest adequately
Spend the time wisely between your family, your part time job and don’t forget yourself too. Get yourself enough rest. Remember that you still have a permanent job to attend daily on weekdays, and don’t let your part time job affects your permanent job. When you just started in this field, you still depends much of your financial condition with your salary, so do not jeopardize them until your part time job is giving equal or more than what you earn from your permanent job.

Having better rest also will make you more energetic in doing things and generate more bright ideas and etc.

Outsource of hire
Previously, I’m doing everything on my own, from web design, script modification, promotion and getting traffic. But now, I realized that is not the best way to manage your business. What is the area that you can outsource?

– Hire someone to do something that is not under your expertise, such as web design
– Automate as many processes/tasks as you can, such as in SEO or getting traffic or blogging

So how do you manage your internet business? Are you doing it full time or part time basis?

I always dream to have my own e-book or product to be shared with my readers. I feel that, it was the right ways to appreciate my readers as well as reshaping my writing skill and English. But yes, that wasn’t an easy task. With my poor English, I have to do double task here, searching and arranging the information and secondly make it readable and understandable by everyone.

But I still want something for my readers, even though it is not coming from me, it is from someone else, but at least it is legal. So this is the idea that came out when I’m doing housekeeping on my notebook. It was totally mess and I can found free notes and tips everywhere, more than 1 copy exist in different folder, and some of them I even hadn’t read it.

In order not to waste those valuable resources I plan to put it into my download section with 2 purposes in mind, as a backup and for you to download it.

So how do I arrange those notes?

- Put it based on the author?
- Categorize it based on topics?

I decide to choose the option 1, arrange it based on author. I feel that was the easiest way for me, since I have a lot of e-books from different authors. Inside the folder, I create another sub folder to categorize the notes based on the topics.

Doing the other way round also is good. Use the topic such as blogging, PPC, affiliate, JV as the outer folder and create author’s name as sub folder. If you have better ideas how to manage it, feel free to suggest it, I’m open to changes.

So, can you put all your free notes, e-book to be downloaded or given as a free give? Absolutely NO. Each e-book is copyrighted by the authors and some of them cannot be distributed freely or from your blog

Keep an eye on the e-book’s front page whether this e-book is freely distributed and can be given as a gift from your blog. Even though is it free, some author restricted that their e-book can only be downloaded from their website/blog

Do not distribute paid e-books even though you buy for it. Paid e-book is for personal use only and do not violate the e-book’s copyright.

At the moment, I put some of the best e-books on the topic that I have interested most such SEO, blogging, Google and PPC. I’ll update the list form time to time after I finish reading it. Feel free to comment if some of them shouldn’t be available for download from this blog.
