This was Day 2

Apparently it is not allowed to blog about the boot camp as how we found out today. because of copyright issues, that's why we had paid for it. i actually already kinda expected this. but surely it's still safe to blog as long as not too much information is leaked or the actual knitty-gritty stuffs is posted here. otherwise it'd be free lessons online. well i'm still gonna carry on blogging with this. it's gonna be my journal to keep track of my progress.

well today i learned the following stuffs:
1) PPC
2) Understanding AdWords matching concepts
3) Creating and managing an Adwords account
4) The formula for calculating marketing budget
5) Creating an effective Landing Page that will be fully optimised
6) Understanding SEO

i'm still unsure of how exactly to venture into SEO. i mean i understood the concept explained. but it's still a blur to me as to how to get the linkings of webpages perfectly connected so as to be in the higher rankings of the search engine result.

well the good thing i felt about today was PPC and Adwords account. It is totally highly possible and i am soOO excited to start on it. and learning to create an effective Landing Page was also really something. I'm just so excited thinking about these.

hmmz wonder if i had infringed anything on this blog so far. really not my intention. well let me know if you think i had.

im testing out something related to SEO. by the way the domain i registered for is www.rugsforboys.com. you might wanna check it out once it's up and ready.

End of Day 1

okay. ive learned quite a number of new things. learned how to do market research on the niche and competitors. most importantly it's not just learning it theoretically only, but doing it as well. well ive found my niche and did my own research on the search results on google. well i learned how to apply for 1systemprofit.com, an autoresponder which will help in generating emails for my leads automatically. i definitely have got a lot more to learn about autoresponder. ive also learned how to apply for my own domain.
the only minor problems i had faced was (1) finding a niche which has a demand and not too much of a competition going on out there. even now after i've picked my niche and the domain to go with it, i'm still wondering if i had picked the best niche. probably the reason is because my market research skills is still like a baby. (2) making the payment online with a credit card. i actually have no existing credit card. What i have is a debit card and godaddy.com couldn't complete my application either because i have insufficient money in my account, or mine is not even activated or there's just some incorrect information that i provided. Neither of my immediate family has a credit card too except my brother. But his is Diners which is not accepted at godaddy either. so in the end i resorted to a senior cousin and he really was kind enough to allow me to use his credit for the moment. couldn't thank him more for that.

so again, new things i've learned:
1. using adwords to find out the latest trends in order to attain the perfect niche
2. applied to be an affiliate at amazon.com
2. applied for 1profitsystem.com
3. applied for my own domain name
4. refreshed on making online payment
