Same thing here, i got a little bit busy with my shop lately, i had to settle few things that i have postponed for quite some time
This make me have to cut some of my time for ‘netbiz’ temporarily.

Wow, 7years? I think that should make you a veteran in Internet biz by now
Yeah, very unfortunate that you didn’t build a portfolio at all, 7years quite long, i know many people were claimed as a guru in webdesign for just a ‘few years’ in this biz.
Anyway there is nothing too late if you start it now ;p

You got no reason to start a portfolio?
How if you set your mind like this, if you start a portfolio, you can be:
The richest girl in Malaysia?
Young Web design guru from Malaysia
Retire rich retire young?
Too naive?
How about making $5 a day or $100 a day from the internet?
Or, making enough money to have a month holiday in Phuket or Bali?
Will you start one?

As a matter of fact i have a dream, which is to go to Palm Jumeirah in Dubai by 2010 just by the money i earn from Internet Marketing.

My calculations says i”ll need around $20.000 to make me fly and enjoy 2weeks vacation.
It is a big dream for newbie like me that currently earn no more than $200 a month from IM.
However It is a dream that make me tick and stick to IM

I got an idea for you, I read about it somewhere.
If you don’t want to start a blog about IM, why not start a blog/website that share website themes or even wordpress themes that made by you.
Maybe this can be one of the other way to setup your portfolio across the internet?

Later you can put your link in each themes you designed to make your site get a higher PR.
High PR site means money if you can make it right ;p
say advertising, product promoting, or even sell the site later

Btw, I have seen many Malaysian has great success in this field, maybe you can be the next ;p

Life is getting busy lately and I seldom online, I’m out of town right now and in Borneo Island to attend my sister wedding, sorry for this late reply.

Thanks for your suggestion here, I actually did do some posting at different famous forum to promote my web design company, I try to do a web design site for my own, and can you believe it? I dont even setup my own portfolio after 7 years of doing web design..

I know, I’m so terribbleeee!!! I should had setup my own website and portfolio, but I’m too lazy for that, other than that, I can’t find any reason

You mean start a similar blog like yours? hmmm… actually i havent involved much in IM yet, I plan to buy 1kperday sooner, after I got my debit card, is slow process in Malaysia here… I wish they can’t do thing faster…

I may consider starting a blogs sooner or later… but I think is important to setup my own portfolio first before starting blog.. dont you think so? is 7 years pass by.. my goodness…

Well, i can see that you might did not have enough reason yet to do forum /blog posting, that is why you seldom make post other than asking question.
But now, i believe i will see your name more in forums

Hey, why don’t you do forum posting to promote your web design service? Huum…. ofcourse if you already have that spare time

“the more IM friend you have, the nearer success will knock your door”
I am totally agree with that and i am delighted to have you as my IM friend to learn together with

PS : Ivy, why don’t you start a blog on how you strive to success in IM world?
I think you’re a good writer and can express your though clearly
I believe i will able to learn more from you if you have one ;p

Thanks

Wow, this is really a marvelous report. I never thought of writing and posting in the forum can bring so many benefits. Well, shame on me, I seldom post on people’s blog or forum. But the good thing is that I do post sometimes when I needed help, at least, I think I’m those type who will not be quiet when I need guidance and of coz, I got good feedback, like how I know you and have you as my friend

I guess I will allocate more space and time to make effort on posting on forum,it really help to build up our brand name and circle of friend, the more IM friend you have, the nearer success will knock your door

Thanks for sharing this great reports with us all and hope you success in IM soon!
