There are over a hundred affiliate marketing businesses running actively nowadays with people striving to earn a stable income online. One of the most popular trends is to become an affiliate of Clickbank products and to sell these to interested customers through a sales page. But of course, with such a strong competition and lack of knowledge on how to effectively sell these digital products, a lot of internet marketers tend to lose the will and the resources to continue selling as they encounter problems and issues regarding the products they sell, the links being used, and the like. For this article, the issue whether sales page opt ins are a factor of decreasing commissions will be discussed to provide insight and understanding as to how this internet marketing tool works and how one can actually benefit from it.

As we all know, the role of the affiliate is to sell the product through a sales page to customers online. The sales page would normally contain the content introducing the product, the link that will lead them back to the main website where they can purchase the product, and of course an opt in list for the customer to receive mails and updates with regards to the product. These opt ins are usually paired with freebies and bonuses that the customer can avail of, so by entering their email addresses in the opt in box they are not only signing up for the bonuses and email updates but crediting your page for commission. But the issue raised here is whether or not the affiliate still has a role in the business if the customer simply opts in without actually purchasing the product. Will that decrease one’s chances of earning commission?

The truth is affiliate marketing systems as well as Clickbank websites track the referrals of their affiliates through cookies and the IP address used, in which the former would normally be saved into the computer not less than 60 days at the most. So most likely if the customer decides to opt in to the mailing list of the vendor, the ID of the affiliate will be identified and the sales will be credited to his or her account. Though there is no assurance that the customer will buy the product, the fact that he or she found his or her way to the mailing list through the affiliate’s sales page will already indicate that the commission will still go to him or her and that he or she will still be paid months from now.

But of course, there are certain possibilities that you as the internet marketer would lose commissions if there are opt ins on the sales page. Supposing the customer decides to opt in into the mailing list but decides to check out the product a little later. If he or she erases all cookies in the PC or decides to use a different browser to buy the product, then most likely the commissions won’t go to you.

Ayam atau telor, mana dulu? Persoalanan ini sehingga kini masih belum terungkai.

Ada yang kata ayam dulu. Tapi ayam tu dari telor! Kalau tak ada telor, tak adalah ayam!

Ada pula yang dakwa telor dulu. Tapi telor itu dari ayam. Kalau tanpa ayam, mana munculnya telor?

Kita biarkan kawan-kawan kita yang bijakpandai selesaikan problem itu. Kalau bertengkar pun, dari subuh hingga maghrib dan dari maghrib hingga subuh pun tak akan terjawab persoalan itu.

Tapi apa yang penting ingin saya bentangkan di sini, antara skrip dan duit, mana dulu? Bagi penulis skrip, kalau tak ada duit, tak ada skrip. Bagi produser pulak, kalau tak ada skrip, tak ada duit.

Masalah ini timbul kerana tidak percaya antara satu sama lain. Penulis skrip bimbang apabila skrip diberi tanpa duit, skrip itu akan diciplak. Produser akan beri macam-macam alasan, walhal skrip itu sudah ditukar sana sikit sini sikit dan produser terus buat pengambaran. Maka terkapai-kapailah si-penulis skrip…kononnya skrip dia tak laku. Tapi alih-alih tengok kat TV, tu macam cerita yang aku buat.

Bagi produser pulak bila bayar dulu skrip itu, mereka bimbang kekuatan skrip itu. Ada skrip yang cacamerba, ada skrip yang ceritanya terlalu lemah dan macam-macam hal lagi. Yang paling dibimbangi oleh produser, ada skrip yang diciplak. Hal-hal sebegini ada yang berlaku.

Tapi bagaimana pula dengan proposal? Sekarang untuk kelulusan daripada stesyen TV tidak perlu skrip lengkap, cukup dengan proposal aje.

Proposal ini mengandungi sinopsis atau jalan cerita, watak dan perwatakan, konsep cerita, tema dan objektif. Itu sudah memadai untuk penilaian panel stesyen TV.

Masalah yang timbul di sini, pihak produser akan meminta penulis skrip sediakan proposal. Apabila sudah diluluskan oleh stesyen TV, barulah produser bayar advance untuk menulis skrip itu. Ini bermakna penulis terpaksa buat kerja free dulu sehingga proposal itu diluluskan. Kalau tak lulus, tak ada rezekilah….!

Tapi kalau proposal itu pergi ke salah tangan, maka akan terhasillah sebuah skrip oleh tangan lain dari proposal itu. Itupun bahaya juga. Perkara ini juga dah banyak berlaku. Seperti mana satu proposal yang terhasil dari tangan ini telah diciplak menjadikan siri berepisod selama beberapa tahun di sebuah stesyen TV swasta. Apabila seorang kawan bertanya pada penciplak itu, dia terang-terang akui bahawa apa yang dia buat ‘bukan bajunya’.

Jadi di sini, mana dia perlindungan untuk penulis skrip? Persatuan penulis skrip…???? Tepuk dahi tanya otak….!!!

Hari ini dah 3 hari kami mengadakan pengambaran tele-movie bertajuk RM20 Juta untuk RTM2. Pada hari pertama kami mengadakan pengambaran di Taman Tasik Aman atau lebih dikenali sebagai tasik buaya Puchong.

Semalam hari kedua di pejabat G.S. Gill di Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman dan aku buat pertama kali berpeluang berjabat tangan dengan Datuk G.S. Gill yang sudah berusia 87 tahun.

Hari ini pula pengambaran dilakukan di sebuah restoran Iran berhadapan Lot 10 di Jalan Bukit Bintang atau lebih dikenali sebagai Bintang Walk.

RM20 Juta menceritakan tentang Farid, seorang pemuda 29 tahun yang tinggal dengan atuknya sejak kecil kerana ibubapanya telah bercerai. Atuk dan neneknya juga sudah bercerai sebelum Farid dilahirkan. Akibat peristiwa itu  membuatkan Farid fobia untuk berkahwin.

Oleh kerana atuknya sudah uzur, Farid menguruskan syarikat atuknya yang berjumlah RM20 juta nilainya. Tetapi dia tidak pandai berjimat dan mempunyai ramai teman wanita.

Zakuan, pengurus syarikat itu risau kerana Farid tidak serius dalam tugasannya. Zakuan ceritakan hal Farid kepada Datuk Faruk.

Datuk Faruk panggil peguamnya, Kamarudin supaya buat satu wasiat di mana Farid dikehendaki berkahwin dengan seorang wanita yang solehan sebelum menyambut hari jadinya yang ke 30. Sekiranya gagal, kesemua harta bernilai RM20 juta itu akan pergi ke rumah anak yatim. Tetapi sebenarnya Kamarudin berhasrat membolot harta itu dan dia berharap Farid akan gagal menemui wanita solehan sebagai calon isterinya.

Berjayakah Kamarudin dengan hasratnya membolot harta itu atau berjaya Farid menemui wanita solehan sebagai isterinya? Sama-samalah kita saksikan di RTM2 nanti.

Tele-movie ini diarahkan oleh V. Nagaraj dan dibintangi oleh Zul Yahya, Jalil Hamid, Mustapha Kamal dan lain-lain.

In the past the street hawkers in the city of Kuala Lumpur will do their petty trading by the roadside or at the shops five foot path.

As these petty traders turn up to be an eye catcher to the tourists in Kuala Lumpur, the City Hall decided to build-up the giants canopy for the convenience of the traders and the visitors.

In the posting today, I put up some pictures of the street hawkers at the Jalan Masjid India near Wisma Yakin.

At the street hawkers here, the visitors can buy cheap clothing, watches, caps and even the Malay traditional herbs.

Beside the tourists, the locals from all walks of life are also regularly visiting this street hawker center.

Wisma Yakin the shopping complex adjoining to this street hawker canopy do sell beautiful batek and songket cloths.

Basically the blogs that talk about business, money and women will get good traffic and a lot of followers. The temptation of these three words are so great that, it’s consider as life for every human especially men.

You do good business you’ll get more money and with that easily you can get beautiful and sexy women.

Regards to that, any blogger will try to attract the traffic by providing online marketing business or will lure you how to generate $$$ or they will be posting pictures of almost naked sexy girls.

It’s okay with me once in a while to look at pictures of naked girls. That will stimulate and refreshing your mind into seriously blogging. I also like to read blogs that guide you into the online business and how to generate multiple income. By the way, who doesn’t want money!

But I’m very sorry to my visitor’s because I can’t guide you how to do online business and I can’t teach you how to generate lucrative income and I also don’t have any pictures of naked sexy body for attraction to stick at my site.

I’m just an ordinary guy who is involved in script writing for our local films and TV and beside that once in a while organizing jungle adventure events, either by 4wd or tracking into the tropical rainforest jungle.

So that is the only experienced I can share with all my valued visitor’s here. Some how or rather, I appreciated and thanks a lot for your kind visit to my blog.

Huh…! Jack of all Trades is just like a rolling stone that gathered no moss. That’s what most people says. I’ll agreed to that and I think most of you also will agreed.

But to me, to be born as a Jack of all trades will give you a very vast experience in life and it’s make life more interesting and kicking high. Beside that it will make you more matured and will give you a lots of confidence in tackling life.

Maybe some will agreed and some will not. That doesn’t matter to me. But…can you imagine one person that was born with so called golden spoon…start schooling from the primary school, then goes to secondary school and then further studies to higher learning institution then graduated and start working with the same company or department from day one until he retires. Is there any life with him?

I met one professor from a university, after hearing my life as Jack of all trades with up and down, he kept silence for while. After taking his breath, he saluted me for been very tough in life. He admitted, to be Jack of all trades, ones got to go through in life with full of obstacles not only like the roller coaster but it’s more of Camel Trophy jungle expedition…hahaha.

Will you believe me that I started my career as a site-supervisor in the building constructions, then goes into direct selling. Yes, I really mean direct selling. I’ve to go canvassing, knocking house to house selling vacuum cleaner. It’s tough but it’s life…it’s interesting, especially everyday you met people from all walk of life.

Been involved in car racing and mixing with the car enthusiasts, my love of cars make me switch my job into car line. Started from rank and file selling from the Japanese cars to the hydro-pheumatic suspension French lady and then into the hydraulic tippers lorries and last but not least into the Ultimate Driving Machine BMW’s cars.

That’s only the beauty of part of life. The ugly part of it, is to do anything just to earn a living. But with all these experiences, it’s make me tough and rugged. It is just as I was recruited into the country boxing squad for the S.E.A.P Games and then involved in motorcycle racing, car racing, car rally, 4WD adventure, played squash for the state team and become a golf hustler. Hahaha…that’s life, isn’t it?

Earlier from using the tag-line ‘Film Drama Documentary’, I’ve changed it to ‘Personal Blog’. Why? Why do, I do that? It’s because as a script writer I though that will be appropriate for me to use such tag-line. But lol…NO, it’s not right for me to use that tag.

Actually I’m not only a script writer! I’m still ‘Jack of all Trades’. I do everything under the sun, under moon, under the neon light and by the side of the camp fire just to earn for my living. Besides writing script, I write novels, I organize camping and motor sports events, I’m also learning to earn money from the Internet, I still work at my fruits orchard and soon I’ll be starting to rear fish for local and export market.

Last but not least, I’m also acting in dramas and films. The last film that I’m involved was a Japanese film title ‘The Last Battle of Kauro’. My next film will be ‘Kapsul’, story about the life of our former Prime Minister, Tun Mahathir. Even though I reckon the part for me in this film is not that big, but I’m still proud to chosen.

So in my coming posting, you are not only going to read about film, drama and documentary but I’ll be sharing with you the story of my entire life. Excerpt that I won’t disclose to you at two places only; i.e: bathroom and bedroom….hahaha!

Well, I guess some of you might like know about my night life. Arr….it’s rather pretty boring! Don’t tag along with me…because it’s going to get you bore! I’ve stop going to disco and clubbing…I don’t like Starbuck or Coffee Bean…I don’t take sushi or beefsteak. But I love seafood…and most of the time I just like to have coffee and chit chat with friends at the open air cafe or to be more precious at the warung.

There I told you, it’s boring! But not for me. I just like it this way. What more when I’m driving my 4WD deep to jungle…put up a tent…light up a camp fire and cook an instant noodle…. hahaha…. that’s interesting! That’s life, man! If I cannot be Crocodile Dundee…then I’ll be Indiana Jone…hahaha…!!!!

But of course life in the jungle is very interesting. I don’t have to elaborate details…but tag along with me to the jungle, then you’ll know….either you are going to know me more….or you are going to love the jungle mother nature…hehehe…!

My way of life in the jungle.
