Income stream #1 – Options trading

I had always wanted to learn how to trade options. IMHO, I like the leverage that options trading give and it’s also cheaper than stocks, forex and futures. I attended options trading workshop previews, read books about it and I have a very basic idea of how to buy and sell them by doing some paper trades (trading simulation) at optionsxpress.com, but from the trades I made using the simulation… it was pure gamble because I had no system whatsoever…

This must be my all-time favourite nickname. An inspiration from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and War of the Worlds.

Found out this quiz from another blog, I’m a .ogg …… What a weird file extension, that explains the description I got.

I’m lucky to get exposure in the affiliate marketing industry at a young age (thanks to Ken Evoy), but contradictory to the hype about easily making big money online, it’s not as easy as you think. It’s not impossible either and I’m not giving up.

After inspired by the book, ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’, I took the time to learn about businesses’ from network marketing, franchising to investing, but after a few years of learning, you just get sick and tired and just want to start concentrating on a business and start DOING. I ended up choosing affiliate marketing.

My dream is to travel the world. I shall experience the culture and the life of the locals. I shall travel alone: no annoying people telling me that they want to live in luxury hotels instead of budget inns, no shop-a-holics who wants to go shopping in each place they visit. An adventure for me would be to go pick pineapples with the locals, try food which I’ve never tasted before (with reason, of course… none of those live squids in South Korea….

In 2006, I will

1) Manage my time better.
I want to stop working overtime at my job so that I can have more time to build my own “dream job”.

2) Eat healthier.
Cut down on junk food intake and to cook instead of eating out. Eat my vitamins regularly.

3) Read less, do more.
I spend a lot of time researching on the internet and sometimes I get distracted by all the other interesting things it leads to. I will apply more of what I learn and stop reading the theories.

I have been referred by my friends to join numerous paid-to-surf programs such as cashfiesta, studio traffic, etc. and I always give a straight “no”.

I do not consider this a passive income, it’s just another quickie to make money. As most of you notice at my front page, I’m concentrating on long-term residual income… something that pays me monthly and gives me the security that the cheques are coming. Not something that comes and goes (which I have seen paid-to-surf programs do over the years). Besides, how long are these companies going to last? A lot of paid-to-surf programs doesn’t last because we, smart humans, don’t just click on ads… we invent software to automatically click them. Do you think you will be happy that your website are visited by robots if you are an advertiser on the paid-to-surf program? Of course not!

At first when I saw the name “Liquid Trust” at ShareASale (An affiliate network with 100+ quality merchants), I thought it was a merchant selling financial products relating to trust funds. After a closer look at the description, it says:

“Liquid Trust is the world’s first Oxytocin product, specially formulated to make people trust you! Featured on NBC, ABC and WebMD. This product was just launched in August and is the first product to take advantage of the new scientific research of human hormone called Oxytocin. We are offering 25% revenue sharing per sale. We have found this product to generate a lot of interest and buzz. Our conversion rates have exceeded our expectation level!”

I tried… I really tried….

I couldn’t help it… I just had to download FireFox at my office! Surfing the internet just sucks with Internet Explorer.

If you don’t have FireFox, you are missing out a browser that’s simple, speedy and expandable. Here are top 5 reasons why FireFox is my favourite browser.

1) It is SUPER fast

Enough said, Internet Explorer’s a slow poke.

2) Tabbed Browsing
My most used feature on FireFox browser is tabbed browsing, this saves me from clouding up my taskbar with every website that I open. Here’s a quick comparison:

FireFox tabbed browsing. One browser, multiple sites.

I made my first sale on my new website on the 28th November 2005!
