From imt@mac to KA$H

It's been more than a month since i've last updated here. Where and how has my journey been you might ask. In fact you're not the only who's wondering. There's quite a number of others out there who has been wondering too.

So here's the real update.

If you have read my last two posts, I did mention about a group of 4 and "company". Let me now bring you back to how it started.

After the Internet Marketing Bootcamp course, a group of around 10 people agreed to meet on a weekly basis to help out one another and to be kept updated or motivated. These meetings were mostly held at MacDonald's.
It was from this group that a member suggested that we come up with something together and then work on it instead of just aimless group meetings. That particular member, his name is C A Koh. After that idea was suggested, in the following week, it became more serious as Koh was really looking for people who are positive-minded and capable of contributing to it. The first person he roped in was Hakeem as Hakeem was the most technical-savvy in the group when it comes to website creation.
I remembered the day I first talked to Koh about this idea. His idea was to have a small group dedicated to a long term commitment related to internet marketing. It was on one of those weekly meetings that this conversation between myself and Koh happened. I asked him to tell me more about it and offered how I can contribute to this. I remembered how Alan (another member) happened to be sitting beside Koh at that time. Upon hearing this conversation, he immediately mentioned "I'm in" continously. At that time, we were waiting for Hakeem to arrive as he was caught up with his day's job. Hakeem did arrive but Koh already had to leave where I was the one to update Hakeem on the idea. In the following week we tried getting one or 2 more members into the group but nobody we reached was available.

In the coming weeks we had discussed and came up with sketchy plans and the niche that we want to go into. We even came up with a name for our group and signed on it. The name initially was Imt@mac. "IMT" to mean internet marketing and "mac" as short for MacDonald's as that's where our meeting is held all of the time. But after some time, we changed our name to KASH, 'K' for Koh, 'A' for Alan, 'S' for Salman, and 'H' for Hakeem. Through the weeks, we started with a creation of a website to kickstart our idea. We even outsource for a programmer for this. That website is still in its progress and can take pretty long for all the information to be available. We created namecards, liased with business owners who are open to let us market for them. One particular business owner is Nizam, the owner of Rastafari. I used to work for Nizam in Rastafari during my Polytechnic days and it really was a dream come true to continue working for Rastafari.

So as you would have guessed it sooner or later, most of my future posts will be on KA$H and its progress. I will be posting pictures and tell you more about the individuals of KA$H in my next post. I'll be putting links to the KA$H's website in here once it's ready.

On another note, I have banked in my first cheque of $200++ that I have received from Amazon. Real nice huh? :)

Stay tuned guys!!! X-D
