Creating a collaborative list of useful internet marketing websites

Finding websites that can teach you about different areas of internet marketing could be quite frustrating. I've spent hours looking for useful websites that could teach me about SEO, pay per click campaigns, viral marketing, etc without much success.

Attending Provo Labs Academy and Paul Allen's internet marketing class at BYU have changed this. Now, I am spending less and less time trying to do this research myself.

To help all those who are attending Provo Labs Academy or Paul's internet marketing class keep track of useful websites, I created a Google Writely file.

Creating a Collaborative List of Useful Sites for More Effective Internet Marketing
  • Instead of trying to compile a list of useful websites individually, the idea is to collaborate and create this list together!
  • When you find a site that is helpful, please add the site address and a brief description to the list
  • Feel free to add comments, change/edit the description
  • If you are interested in accessing or editing the list, please leave a comment below or send me an email at choim@boomyeah.com

Resolution to do a better job blogging

Since I started learning about internet marketing during the last few months, I've always been aware of the power of blogging. I just didn't blog mainly because I was scared to write. Moving to America when I was fourteen, my english isn't quite perfect and I was scared that someone would catch a lot of errors in my writing...

Well.. after spending a few weeks comtemplating what I should do, I just decided that I shouldn't be afraid.. that my writing will get better... and who cares anyway what other people will think of me? Instead of thinking about myself, I can see how I can blog about things to benefit others who may be looking for things that I've learned in the past, or to give more exposure to those who are doing something worthy.

If you are also scared about blogging, you are not alone. Leave me a note and I will do my best to help you with your blogging.

Google Story

I spent half a day reading the Google Story written by David Vice. It was quite interesting.

I don't consider myself a die hard fan of Google, but I must say I was quite impressed with Sean and Larry's unyielding vision of the company and how they were not willing to compromise their vision from investors, public, wall street, etc.

Sean and Larry taught me that it's okay to be stubborn, to fight for what you truly believe, and to change incorrect perceptions in the society rather than having the society mold your views that you know are right.

Google succeeded because Sean and Larry had a higher purpose and were not willing to succumb to traditional business ways, and I believe BoomYEAH will also succeed if I keep my value high and make things happen to serve businesses and users.
