Everything About VincentRich.com
Hello and welcome to Vincent Rich’s blog. This is a blog about my journey from being just over broke to achieving financial freedom! Thanks for taking the time to allow me to introduce myself and to let you know what this blog is all about.
What This Blog Is
I decided to write a blog to show people how I make money on the Internet. I’m unhappy with the fact that there isn’t enough honest and useable content out there about making money on the internet. While most internet marketing experts tell you what to do, I will show you how to do it with my articles and blog once I have figured out how to do it properly. I’ll include updates on affiliate program marketing, advertising revenue via Google AdSense (plus other advertisting networks like Chitika, Casale Media, Burst Media etc), and just about anything related to making money on the internet.
I do not claim to be an internet marketing guru neither do I guarantee that what you’ll learn from this site will make you rich. I’m a beginner in this internet marketing game and I’m still learning. I hope you’ll be able to learn from some of my mistakes and hopefully help me out one way or another.
What This Blog Is Not
If you’re looking for a place to read about gossip and other nonsense, this is definitely not the place for you. Why not visit Blogger for a list of blogs to get a peep into someone else’s private life if that’s what you want?
I didn’t write a blog to tell the world about the mundane things that happened in my day to day life. Maybe that’s for my own personal diary. Some things are meant to be private and I want them to stay that way. Even if I do share something about my life, I’ll share it with you because its important and I’ll explain to you why its important.
Who This Blog Is For
This blog is for those who want to know about the truth about making money on the internet. Someone who is open to making money outside a job, someone who wants more out of life, someone who is bored and just wants to read about me in their free time….
How Did This Blog Come About?
The idea came to me sometime in January 2004. I realised the number 1 reason why I have been struggling to make money was because I never thought of myself as a rich person even though I wanted to be one. In my mind, I was this young kid struggling to make money to get by with nothing but a dream of becoming rich and having nothing to show for it.
How can I create a positive self image of myself as a rich person? What if rich were my middle name? Would that create a buffer for the “bad luck” my last name was giving me? From where I come from, my last name “Liaw” means death, a goner, “its over”, “you’re finished”. I’m not ashamed of my family name. Somehow it does seem to plant some negative images in to my mind whenever I read my own name….
All my life I have worked hard for money. I worked my butt off since I was 17 (shortly after I left high school) working part time at Web Development companies while I was still in school. I accepted any amount for money they gave me because I wanted some working experience and to learn first hand what life was like in the “real world”. The money was terrible… SGD $550 a month was my “apprentice salary”. It grew to a couple a hundred bucks per project when I was 18 - 20. My highest pay check was SGD $2200 for 1 and a half month’s worth of hark work. From age 20 - 22, my income dropped to SGD $350 - SGD $440 a month after being drafted to the Singapore Army.
For 5 years I’ve been working hard for small bucks. I’m sick and tired of struggling. I simply don’t want to live like this anymore. I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and take the necessary steps to turn my life around.
With my new internet identity “Vincent Rich”, I took the next step in registering a domain name “VincentRich.com” from RegisterFly.com. I didn’t think it would become a blog but I was inspired to write a blog after reading the article How To Get A Book Deal With Your Blog at Blogger’s web site. I believe everyone has a book within themselves. I know that if I write a little everyday, over time I would have enough content for a book.
What you’re looking at right now are bits and pieces of my untitled book. Its going to be a great adventure in the coming years and I invite you to be a part of it. I hope you’ll enjoy my blog and thanks once again for visiting!
Please read on to learn why I believe the whole point of making money is Not All About The Money!
