Forget about what some online gurus told us, sememangnya pengetahuan teknikal penting untuk dapat duit dari internet. Kalau buta html 100% macam aku, lebih baik lupakan pasal nak jadi kaya dari internet. At least kena belajar sikit-sikit. Damn… malasnya aku. Website BOB jadi popular sebab dia bagi theme wordpress secara percuma. Dalam theme tersebut ada link ke BOB semula. So, kerana theme yang Bob buat cantik, kemas, html codenya tersusun… ramai blogger wordpress download theme dari BOB. Hasilnya BOB dapat linkback beribu-ribu, search engine suka linkback ini dan ranking BOB pun naik mendadak di Technorati dan Alexa.
Bayangkan BOB berusia 5 bulan, sudah rangking cukup tinggi sehingga ada pembeli sanggup bayar USD10K. Dia confident traffic yang tinggi akan convert ke pulangan wang dengan pelbagai jenis iklan. So, tidak perlulah set time yang lama-lama untuk sesuatu projek. 5 bulan pun sudah cukup kalau kena gayanya dan betul caranya.
Sebagai seorang yang sedikit racist dan teramat patriotic, aku bangga dengan kejayaan Bob. Dia membuktikan orang Melayu dan orang
Antara reason Bob jual website dia adalah dia percaya dia kurang mahir berbahasa English. Aku setuju sangat dengan Bob. Setiap posting BOB banyak graphic dan kurang wording. Bob sedar pentingnya good explanation dan content wording. Jadi untuk membawa BOB lebih jauh Bob jual kepada one Indian dude yang mahir cakap orang putih dan pandai buat theme wordpress. Sememangnya kebanyakan iklan memerlukan wording. Adsense contohnya akan paparkan iklan base on content, dan LinkTextAds pula akan selitkan iklan diperkataan yang sesuai. So, kalau tak mahir English memang tak dapat fully utilize website tersebut.
www.blogohblog.com. Tak la cantik dan catchy sangat. Macam website jiwang je. Dan nama founder pula Bob Jiwakacau, hahahhah… So, tidak perlulah crack our brains out untuk fikir nama domain atau nama pena yang cantik-cantik. Bak kata Pensonic dulu, barang baik tidak perlukan kata-kata indah. Akubetul.com dan Popiah.Net pun dah 10 kali ganda cantik daripada blogohblog.com,

Early November one lucky Malay dude sold his 5 months old blog for USD10K to equivalent talented web designer from
1. Technical Knowledge Vital
BOB gain popularity by offering theme for WordPress, people love the design and start downloaded it. The backlinks created by that reach thousands and search engine, technorati and alexa love that. BOB become popular also because webmasters appreciates BOB and mention it in their blog posting. So, like it or not at we need to have some technical knowledge to succeed in online business. This also the main reason new owner braves enough to pay USD10K for 5 months old blog. The ranking so high, tons of idea he can throws to get back his investment. He be able to do this because… he have the technical knowledge to do so.
2. Time Is Nothing
5 Months and BOB ranked so high by most ranking site. So please do not set long target for our project.
3.
Malaysian always sceptical when come to self-confident. We always thought others are far better than us. Bob Jiwakacau proof that wrong. For sure now we realize I.T related stuff we not lagging behind what so ever. We very much on par with others.
4. English Language Important
Bob Jiwakacau sold his blog partly because he believe he can’t raise the blog anymore, since he not fluent in English. He realise this and he wisely choose someone that have the ability to write in English and also continue designing good theme for Wordpress blogger. New owner also realize this fact and it is truly win-win situation. Bob Jiwakacau get pays for his effort and have a chance to witness his idea to hit sky rocket, and for Jai he got a very good income generator site.
5. Name Not Important.
Blogohblog not that catchy, right? It just likes sad song title or soup opera script. And his owner nickname Bob Jiwakacau (somebody help me translate this into English). So, please do not waste our time finding good domain or nickname. www.akubetul.com and Mr.Right sound pretty cool, right?
Hope friends here will learn something from BOB story. Looks like nowadays everybody crazy about getting money from world wide web.
