Hi Gobala, I really want to thank you for writing WordPress Adsense System to help newbies with Wordpress. I was previously using other content management systems but decided to give WordPress a shot. Your guide and action plan are so easy to follow!Adwin Ang

paul : other than thru direct exchange from trusted individuals, you can go with local or international exchanger, well they are also individuals but with establish website…such as umgold,securegold,thegoldshop…etc. and setting up an egold account is really simple…the best part it is free…just that be sure to do a research on the current market price for egold before doing any transaction and of course some securities measure in doing so.
well just stays cool in your websites projects. As many people will visits your cool website today..Happy rather than you seat in your Menara Telekom….hahaha..(Phu@) Kuantan
Dear Gobala, I saw this and hope you don’t mind me answering some of the questions (not all, I don’t know everything). I am a malaysian as well. (I have yet to listen to the podcast, so forgive me if the answer is identical to yours)
1) This is usually the first thing that stomp on any new internet earner, so take it easy. Forget about the saying that you can sell anything. Internet is competitive, eBay being the most proce sentitive venue. If you want a niche, focus on something you like and go crazy about. You will have a tough time ahead getting any business model to work on the internet. Passion and craziness is what will push you through every bottleneck. Go with your heart. The satisfaction is much more valuable than the immediate gratification of need.
3) Yes, Malaysian can have a Paypal account and can actually withdraw money from it. I believe Chapter-M teaches you how to do that. Any Malaysian can own an US bank account is a fact.
5) If you target ONLY Malaysians, it is wise to accept payment in RM, through Maybank2u or any of your preference. It is easy. However, don’t frame yourself to the border. Internet is borderless. If Malaysian loves your product, what makes you think others don’t?
6) There a lot of scams and hypes out there. Becareful while choosing, even testimonials can be made up of. Making money from the internet is as hard as establishing a brick-and-mortar. Only difference, you operate behind the scenes, and that gives tremendous benefit. It is easy to get a domain, wordpress and blog it. This is easiet. The result can be slow, but it will open an eye. Once you are a businessman and not a consumer of businesses, you will know all the dirty tricks many used to scam, you can avoid them once you know them. Most common trick is to make money by telling you how to make money. “Sometimes giving advices makes you more money than actually following them.”
10) I purchased Site Built it. I have a site with them, and then got my aunty to start a site with them. SBI is a fantastic setup. You will get more than what you paid for. Ken and the community have great helping hands. The program not only host your site, but gives you necessary knowledge and tools to get your business going. No comparison. It is for beginners, and even the pros. For the money, though it is expensive, but if you are getting them on your own, such as wordtracker, spider tracker, search engine regular submission, internal database mining, you are going to pay hell a lot. If you want a successful business, you need all the money to make it successful. No business is free. I can assure you won’t go wrong with SBI. People are purchasing and then get another one, and I think I can get another one for gardening, oh, another one for my dog…you see the picture? Oh yea, SBI supports all monetization possibilities. Send them an email regarding your concern. Do it the businessman way~
Sorry for inability to answer all questions. If I am too truthful, I apologize, but that was the answer I need when I was starting out.
Thanks for reading.
