In collaboration with some friends and financed by a successful expat in Michigan, last year I started an outsourcing company in Ibaan, a small and relatively poor town in Batangas. I called it Remote Reliance.

However, we were not able to get it off the ground. Maybe we started with a wrong premise. We thought, or so I thought, that Ibaan had the skills, and all it lacked were opportunities to utilize them.

Remote Reliance was supposed to provide the opportunities. So we opened our doors to train people. A bunch of young people came in, hoping to find a job. But it wasn’t a job we’re offering yet. We were still discovering what they could do, or if they were fit for this.

We didn’t really have the time to know if they were the kind of people we envisioned, who could work independently from home, given their natural intelligence and education. Because soon enough, these young people were gone, before they could even learn what it took to become an outsourcing professional.

It would have been more interesting to them if we had jobs available, and they could get them after the training. But no, we didn’t have jobs yet. We were just introducing them to something new.

From the encounter, one sure thing I noticed was that they lacked the ability to communicate effectively. Indeed, most online jobs just take you to a website to fill in the blanks. But to keep your client, you must know how to express yourself. To get more high-paying jobs, you must keep learning new things aside from data entry stuff.

Days went on and we learned that the skills available in Ibaan right here right now were so limited and unripe for remote work. There were still a lot of things to do to prepare the population for global outsourcing.

Maybe we could start with easier tasks, like data entry stuff. Basically, they must know how to follow instructions, how to type fast and take care of smaller details.

Moreover, they should be trained on efficiency and commitment–commitment to work and learning, essential stuffs that would make you stay long in the business of outsourcing.

Soon we will reopen in the new office at the so-called Ibaan Innovation Center (an offshoot of Remote Reliance idea). We will sit again to discuss the future of Remote Reliance and we should know better as to where and how to start, and to keep this thing going to benefit certain people with the right skills in Ibaan.

First, I would like to thank those who have responded to my post about PTC programs and are now in my downlines. Here are some quick reminders so we can both maximize our online income potential:

1) Fix a daily schedule for your clicks. Remember, your referrals’ clicks will not be credited to your account if you fail to browse ads today.

2) Devote some time to build your referrals. That’s where big money will actually come from.

3) Keep in mind to upgrade to a premium account when you can. It will double your income from your clicks and referrals.

Yesterday, one of this blog’s commentators, Chantel Payenda, was talking about a traffic-building program, which is great. Now, I would like to squeeze in here a free traffic system I found called “Exit Fire.”

If you are a website owner, the reality is that over 99% of the visitors who come to your website will NEVER buy. The sure thing is you can hope to make a sale if you can turn those people LEAVING your website into NEW targeted traffic.

Well, the long wait is over. There is a new (and for a limited time, FREE) service that just launched called “Exit Fire” that will actually recycle your old visitors and turn them into NEW visitors to your website!

Get your free account now here!

The coolest part about this software is it is VERY viral, so the more people you tell about the site, the MORE traffic will come back to your site!

There’s actually a free video showing how you can get over 200k visitors PER DAY to your website using this simple system, check it out here.

So go get your own lifetime account today while it is FREE (they just announced that they may start charging for this service in the future).

Thanks for visiting. I will tell you more next time. Please keep coming back.

Take these small, easy steps to get started right away to make money online. They will not make you rich, but the knowledge gained from each program will open the door to bigger online opportunities, which will create wealth for you later on.

I am constantly reminded of those so-called Internet jerks and geeks out there who have been cashing in on the net this way, and most of them can’t even write good copies to invite referrals, but—yes, they are able to build hundreds of them and cash out thousands of dollars in residual income every month!

It will take you only half an hour to do, just before you shut down your computer or upon completion of the day’s important tasks, which is exactly the way I do it.

These are the same paid-to-click (PTC) programs they use to make money online, which are all part of the pay-per-click advertising system, an industry proven method that allows website publishers to direct targeted and unique traffic to their website and the same system that the largest online retailers in the world take advantage of for their advertising needs.

You will need a PayPal account to get paid in these programs. Registration is fast and free.

I think NeoBux is the best of these programs I have joined in. You can earn up to $0.02 per click, and up to $0.02 for every ad your referrals click. Like the others, you have access to detailed statistics of your clicks, earnings and even of your referral’s clicks and activities. Aside from having direct referrals, you can also rent, so you will have more clicks credited to your account.

WordLinx is my second favorite. It pays you $0.01 per click for visiting websites. The more sites visited, the more money you earn, which you can withdraw or exchange for services (visitors, products, etc). You can also earn by sharing links across the web by email, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Each shared link also contains your unique Referral ID, so you will earn from any person that views the shared link and signs up to the site.

Last but not the least, ClixSense is a little bit different and may be unexciting at first because of the small number of “clix” (ads to click) available to to free members, for $0.01 per clix found. But it has one of the best affiliate programs and commission structure. Free members (Non-Premium members) will receive $0.01 for each referral and will receive $2.00 if their direct referral upgrades to a Premium account. Premium Members are paid affiliate commissions 8 levels deep!

Like WordLinx, ClixSense’s premium membership is more affordable than NeoBux. Information on the prices and benefits of upgrading to premium is available on each site.

Want more? ClixSense has just launched a sister money-making program. How would you like to get $10 free? Nothing to buy! Visit GeoString.com.

Well, this one is totally manageable. Still Reading Commercial Emails For Free? With Hits4Pay, Receive Emails On Topics That Interests You And Get Paid For It! Get $10 Just to sign up!

I was in First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities (FAITH) in Tanauan, Batangas yesterday afternoon for a short talk in poetry. In front of me was a good listening audience of around 70 college students under Carlo Peña, a good friend and former student of mine.

The event was brief I had to make sure they got something really straightforward from our encounter. Surely, poetry isn’t news writing, but for the beginner’s sake, I listed down 5 steps on how to write a poem:

1. Establish a dominant theme.
2. Build your primary image or images.
3. Build your poem’s environment using secondary images.
4. Complete your poem by projecting it outwardly.
5. Leave the rest to the reader.

You may want to post a reply below if you want me to explain each step. What I am about to discuss is not poetry. I want us to talk about something that really matters to everyone: getting what you want.

I told Carlo to really think about what he wanted in life. Like me, he was not raised to become a teacher. He was a communication major and aside from what he does for a living, dabbles in poetry and film making. Creatives such as writers, artists and filmmakers often thought that the academe was the best place to be, until they found out that it was simply a comfort place, a hideaway, or something else aside from what they actually dreamed of for themselves.

Two years ago, when I decided to leave the life of a commuter to become a telecommuter (as we used to call online workers), I thought I needed something to prop me up and help me manage my time and get more things done. You really need to achieve self-discipline when you work from home. Becoming your own boss also means you must be strict with yourself, most especially with your time. I stumbled upon what at first seemed a funny term, “simpleology,” coined and developed by Mark Joyner, a leading authority on Internet Marketing.

Joyner defined Simpleology as “the simple science of getting what you want.” The book description says: “Success is simple, and scientifically reproducible, if you know the 5 Laws… Simpleology proves that success and happiness are easier to achieve than most people think they are. In fact, people can almost guarantee their own success simply by following a few simple rules… Throughout history, these 5 laws have helped the world’s greatest minds amass fortunes and forge new paths… Applicable to any challenge or goal and irrefutably commonsense, these 5 laws form the basis for almost any successful person or endeavor.”

The 5 Laws of Simpleology are:

1. The Law of Straight Lines
2. The Law of Clear Vision
3. The Law of Focused Attention
4. The Law of Focused Energy
5. The Inescapability of Action/Reaction

If you want to understand these laws in depth, I highly recommend reading Simpleology: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want. You may also want to sign up free for Simpleology 101 and get access to a wealth of materials, including the Simpleology Software to keep up with your short, medium and long-term goals and finally achieve your “Ultimate Life.”

I love task management programs and keep trying each one that I can find on the web, but it is always Simpleology that I turn back to whenever I want to bring sanity to my day. For only 5-15 minutes of doing your “daily target praxis,” you will get more things done and you will be amazed to realize that the way to get what you want is really that simple.
