It’s been a long time since my last crash on Affiliate Marketing in 2001-2003. At that time, I really don’t know where I will be going with affiliate marketing. There were only few big player at that time such as Amazon and commission junction. Everyone is selling the same things while only getting 4% commission from the big player.

Every since Facebook becomes a money maker and play ground for new comers to generate income, I have to rethink the possibility of using social media to generate extra passive income. Don’t get me wrong. Affiliate is a great way to generate significant income, but it has a fundamental fraud.

You have no control.

New Opportunities And New Resolutions

Relax At Cherry Creek Lodge This is how I relax myself over the weekend! Sitting next to the fireplace in the lobby at Cherry Creek Lodge! You can also see my newest Sunset Photos on Outography.com

It was a 3 days 2 night getaway weekend without computer and outside communication. I got a lot of time thinking the past and the future. With the bad news of the death of Steve Jobs, it’s never clear that health is always the first thing. Wealthy will follow.

So I have to make some changes again in my life to NOT live like Steve Jobs, but to achieve what Steve Jobs has achieved.

2011 is almost the end. Although I was dong great the first half year, the last 3 months of 2011 is simply horrible. 2 customers left me. One has limited budget and one close the business. Economy isn’t coming back any time soon.

However, people are still spending money like crazy. So who they are? How do I do business with those people and get money from them.

Simple Free Restaurant Website With Facebook Comment Box

August 9, 2011 By Terence Chang Leave a Comment

I know what you are thinking. I have been promoting WordPress for building restaurant website or any website for a while. However, when it comes to cut cost, there must be other options. I built a free restaurant website example a while back to demonstrate how easy and fast you can get your site up running. Best of all, it’s free. Of course, the time you spend on building the site is NOT free.

You can read the post at – Build Restaurant Website for FREE! Now I am taking that to the next level by adding photo gallery, direction and review page. So I was doing a favor to a local business friend to build a quick website at very low cost to drive instant traffic to the site.

Redbrick Pizza Gilbert is a well established pizza restaurant in the USA. The store in Gilbert and Chandler wants a website in just matter of few days. So I helped them put together a single page restaurant web site at first. Now the site has grown to multiple pages.

Let the money roll

February 11, 2011 By Terence Chang Leave a Comment

This is going to be a short update on what I have done in the past 100 days to change my life as my 2011 resolutions.

I have to admit that my life has not changed dramatically, but I have achieve some of the goals.

I am very close to my ideal body weight, which is 147lb.
Eat healthy at home 5 days a week.
Join golf membership and commit to practice twice a week.
Officially becoming a Real Estate investor.

One of the achievements is to use my money to roll into bigger money. I truly believe that rich people will become richer faster, if they really put their money in the good use. Building a wealthy life can not be done by 9-5 full time job or 401K. Investment is the only way to accomplish that.

Well. From Google’s perspective, my business sucks! It’s time to look back and give my self a serious examination.

October 30, 2010 By Terence Chang 7 Comments

In the dark

I have been reading Maren Kate’s Escaping the 9 to 5 blog for a while, who is one of the well known women entrepreneurs. Maren recently posted her challenge about 100 Days to Change Your Life and hit road block. Now I am wondering what I would do to change my own life in 100 days this time?

I am not as young and beautiful as her, but I do have the same ambition to live on interest and work less than 4 hours a week. Really! I need a guiding light to lead me out of the dark.

To be honest, I have set so many goals in the past. How will I reach my goals in 100 days this time?
