I don't know why, this thing happened to me since I was a young kid. I could not focus on a single thing of what I am working on.

Remember my last post, I posted about myself doing online marketing I lost about RM100 without earning a single cent. I changed direction to do other things. Finally, after reading a book "Turn your hobbies into money making machine" I pretty much realized that there are some potential in me that I can bring it out and turn it into money making machine. It is all about hobbies and interest, do thing that you love and you know best. I have passion in programming, therefore why not give it a hit.

My current project, is a central database, a client-server system harnessing the power of .Net architecture, that is Visual C# Express (free version of course) and MySQL. I chose MySQL is because if I were to use the SQL server Express (the free version) I am afraid that there will be a lot of restrictions especially the capacity and the concurrent usage issues. Therefore, I switched to MySQL.

For the designing, apart from manual sketching of the database relationship, I came across one wonderful software which I can use for brainstorming. It is called XMind.

Now, since I am short of knowledge about programming database with C#, I need to find a book to be my company. Googling for that I found Professional C# 2008 which I think suits best for the job. There are some chapters talking about database,and Linq. Linq is pretty much about simplifying SQL query in order to work with C# code. Buy it online! It needs to be on softcopy, so that it is easier to search rather than flipping the indexes and glossary.

Apparently, this database system has started about a year ago. It went to a halt for quite sometime due to my IT support work. I used PHP before but I think my current passion now is C#, so this project can sharpen up my skills in database programming in C#.

After leaving it auto-pilot raking money online. I can see that this campaign is not for me. It does not fit my interest.

Yes, it looks not much competition for organic gardening keyword. But still I can't break the first page barrier to display my ad. I can see clicks which bring visitor to the landing page but nobody bother to order my advertised product. Perhaps it is not really appealing or perhaps wrong timing.

Look at my ad clicks

look at my clicks on Clickbank


There is zero order form impression. Which means nobody interested of buying.

I want to jump to a conclusion now. Stop promoting this and find other popular products or maybe since I read an article saying there is other means of making money online, which looks to me ideal to my interest. Hmmm..... could be this is the way I am looking for,for the past few years. I need to embark on this once and for all

I gotta stop myself getting too glued to PES2011. It is nothing beneficial to me, health and financially. I need to find my way back to making money online.

Yesterday, out of the blue...i looked back to my Adwords campaign. Which I started about 2 months ago. I was stuck because first I lost my Google promotional voucher, second thing was my wallet was stolen and all my credit and debit cards were gone....this is my word to the thief..."OTAK UDANG punya orang. tak dak keje lain ke?" translation "SHRIMP PASTE dude... don't you have any other things to do" if you want better translation you can use Google Translate. funnier translation...hahaha

I started to look on what keyword people around the world are looking. I have one keyword on my mind which is "organic fertilizer" because of I have one packet of the worm decomposed organic fertilizer which I want to sell online. So I looked on this keyword using Adwords Keyword Tool. I found a lot of matches and recommendations from Google as well. Then I settled for organic farming because it has searching volume around the globe more than 3000.

I went to Clickbank and look for product which best matches the keyword. And found "Organic Gardening System". It has good sales turnover and not really big competitions. This ebook is actually teach us how to start planting organic vegetables for our daily consumptions. Organic which means free of hazardous chemical used for fertilizing the plant. Then I posted it to Adwords and pay RM40 for the first time huhuhu. After two days, this is my ad performance


Click to see the larger version. Hope that this will grow over the time.. but remember at Adwords all the click will mean my money deducted. The silver lining is that we can just see how many traffic goes to our landing page that's all. But the important thing is whether the click converts to income. that is the real problem now. currently no click is converted to sales yet. God willing..insyaallah it will turn one day. Very soon. finally I found my way back to making money online.

I'm begging Konami not to release newer version of this footy sim or else I will be end-up in hospital ward. PES 2011 mekas my day fully occupied.

For the last 7 days, my sleeping time is reduced to 3 hours per day. I just can't take my fingers off the gamepad (newly bought for the sake of PES 2011). Recently I just posted some of my collections of great goals from PES 2010 but now I'm making a new bundle of great goals from PES 2011. Aaarrrrgh... I want to take a break from my career and start a new career in playing games. But only for this thing.

At first, after downloading the demo it looks quite awkward on the movement of the player. It look somewhat jerky when making turns and body feint. It could be due to my notebook, because I can't adjust any performance effect settings such as resolutions and game details. However after purchasing the game and performed some tweaks on the settings, everything went seamlessly smooth and silky. I got glued!!

After some hours of mastering the skills and tricks, I am now competing at the highest stage, competing against the players in Top Player mode. I am shouting at the top of my lungs because it is ****ing difficult to beat.

The most interesting part of this new version of PES is the preset feints. What is this all about? You can combined multiple body feints and skills with the preset keypad settings. Say you want to combine roulette, scooping and mathiew feint and set it to left turns of the right analog stick. Just imagine with only a press of the gamepad, you are able to beat the defenders with the combination of skills and ultimately score a goal. And that goal becomes your classic collections. Wow!!

Do you want some more? You can now make your own stadium out of candies. Put your team players enjoying Halloween during a football match (buy this game if want to know what all these all about) and kicking pillow in a football match. Hahahaha...

Faces of players are virtually similar to their real-life counterparts. You can zoom-in to find some players hidden nipples...oooppps dimple or mole. Hehe maybe you can find the nipples if you're looking hard enough. Hey it's a man nipple not a sin of committing that.

The bottomline is if you feel that you are healthy today, I want to suggest you (football game fans) to buy this. Then you will feel thankful that you have been blessed by good health before. LOL. One last thing is I hope that if this is going to be the last version released, please add this goal celebrations, take off the shirt and cover the face with jersey and show-off logos or wordings which can be edited of the inside shirt. haha...I bet you this will make my day fully occupied again.
