Hello,
My name is Leonard (people call me leon). I am located in Singapore.
I knew nothing about blogging, internet or online marketing before. I only used my computer to check email and store documents.
I started my online journey in August 2006. The first 4 months was all about learning and studying. I think I am a slow learner. I bought a lot of e-books during these months. I bought any new e-books that came along my way hoping to learn the secrets of making a lot of moola online. But, I made a big mistake because I didn’t take any action. I only started to put in consistent effort in May 2007. Needless to say that I only start to see some results when I actually get my hands dirty. No Action = No Result! That’s a guarantee.
Some of the ebooks I bought are great, I learned a lot from them. But some have very little value, they are over-promised and under-delivered. I think those people who are selling craps are not smart at all because they can cheat people once but after that he/she will lose that customer. The customer will never buy anything from him or her again.
Anyway, I regard all these as my personal or self-development journey in the online world.
I do come across some honest ones (the real and honest gurus online) and I respect them a lot. Although I’ve never met them in person, I still can communicate and learn from them. These people are smart, they are here to do long-term business. They provide great service and always try to over deliver. They build trust and good relationships with their customers. So when they promote something, the customers will listen and feel safe buying from their recommendation.
I sincerely think we all need to be real and honest doing business online. My guiding principle is simple: think long-term and always do business based on honesty, trust and good relationships. Business is all about relationships. The better you can build trust and relationships with your customers, the longer they will stay as your customers.
Internet Marketing is a very exciting world, full of opportunities! But full of hype, scams and white lie too. For the newbies, I always advise them to equip themselves with a proper knowledge. The first step to internet marketing is education! Again, self-development is the KEY. You got to have the proper knowledge so that you’re able to distinguish the real deal from the scams.
By the way, there is no secret in internet marketing. If you come across someone promising you that they have all the secrets that can make you rich overnight, please ignore it. It’s simply not true, there is no such thing as a secret that can make you rich overnight.
All successful individuals I know, have gone through a process, none of them get their success overnight. They all have work hard and built their fortune through persistence, perseverance and dedication.
So if you’re still hunting for that secret, my advice to you is stop searching and start working. If you’re new, start with a self-study, the Internet is the best place for your self-study. If you don’t like searching and surfing the Net then go and look for some seminars to attend, where you can meet and talk to many like-minded people.
One last thing, although internet marketing is about doing business online, please don’t glue yourself in front of your PC all the time. You must also do networking offline, go and attend seminars, get to know people, learn from one another, make friends and keep in touch with them. Most of the successful JV partners met each other offline. Keep that in mind.
Good luck to you and please keep in touch. You can contact me anytime. My email is leonlioe at gmail dot com.

Hi Leonard, it is a pleasure to meet you, your site is very well laid out and the few articles I glanced at were nicely written. I am just currently building a site for my offline business as well my online self development resource site. It is a free site and is under construction, but there is content there and you are welcome to visit if you wish. http://www.e-to-a.com My goal with it is to make people realize that there are no get rich quick schemes but with some time, learning and persistence you can be working from home full time in 2 – 5 years. sometimes even sooner. I am from Canada and it is quite late, I will come back to see more of your site.
Take Care

Hi Leon,
Just discovered your website and love it. Your honesty is refreshing and much-needed in this bewildering internet marketing world. I recently published a memoir, “Following the Whispers,” which traces my journey from living an unconscious life on auto-pilot, to learning to listen to my inner wisdom and live and speak my truth. Please visit my website: http://www.followingthewhispers.com and my blog: karenfollowingthewhispers.blogspot.com and let me know what you think. Your insights and advice would be most appreciated.

Hi Leon
My name is Liz Thomson. I came across your web site in the search engines. Great job!
As I am in the same niche as you I was wondering if you would be interested in a business partnership. Don’t worry, this will be of no charge to you and will not take any commissions or anything like that.
My proposal for you is that I provide you with quality, and I do mean quality, viral video in the self improvement niche. I will allow you to rebrand this video with the link to your own web site.
The idea is that you can give this away to people who visit your site and these people have distribution rights and can pass it onto others,
who can pass it onto others and so on. This results in the video being spread around the internet without you having to spend a penny or do
any work yourself.
The result? Your web site is flooded with traffic. Your work? About ten minutes setting this up.
To watch a video that explains my proposal in full visit the link below
http://www.secretsocialweapons.com/ViralPartners.html
If you would be interested please email me on this address and I will then send you the branded video. Your total work need be no longer than fifteen or so minutes but once this marketing tactic has been put into play your traffic can increase consistently without any marketing costs or any extra hassles.
Whether you decide to answer this email or not thank you for your time and the information on your web site.
Kind regards
Liz Thomson JV Broker SecretSocialWeapons.com
P.S All the best with your site.
