Corporate Branding and An Amazing Discovery

Saturday, November 13th, 2004 by Alan Yu

Today I read an advertisement about receiving compensation in exchange for tattooing a corporation’s symbol on a part of your body. Hence, you would be like a walking billboard. After doing some research about this, apparently this all began when a person went on Ebay and offered the back portion of his head to be tattooed with a corporate logo and in the end he received about $7000 to do so. While this is not something I would personally do to make money, this definitely shows that there is a wealth of opportunities out there for people to create an income for themselves.

During my daily browsing, I stumbled upon redflagdeals.com and was I ever surprised. This site has a large list of Canadian vendors and with the help of its visitors, various deals and coupons are published for people to take advantage of. Similar to my main site AL6400.com, this site has also been up and running since the year 2000. As a person who is constantly on the lookout for great deals, I can’t believe that I never found out about this site before. As they say, one way to make money is to save money. This will definitely be one of my new frequently visited sites.

The First Entry

Friday, November 12th, 2004 by Alan Yu

Hello to everyone who has stumbled upon my personal blog on the Internet. Everyone is probably wondering what this blog is all about and why I decided to write one right? Sounds like the perfect topic to write about as this is my first official entry for this blog.

I personally consider myself a very ambitious individual who always strives to be the best at what I do while constantly growing and expanding my life experiences as there is so much to do and learn in life. While money isn’t everything in life, it definitely does play a role in determining what type of lifestyle one can live. Every day I hear of people who struggle to pay bills or individuals who drool over the thought of owning the latest and greatest. Bottom line, they all complain that they don’t have enough money. I’m personally not a millionaire, not for now at least, but in terms of finance and being able to get the things that I really want, such as going to school without worrying too much about tuition or buying a video game without fearing that my credit card is going to be declined, I have done fairly well for myself. Many of my friends and colleagues also recognize my financial stability and often joke that I am some kind of billionaire.

Quite honestly, most of the people that I have met who complain about their financial situations can easily turn things around if they would just change their habits and attitude. While I do many things to generate an income, one would automatically assume that the answer to their financial problems would be to simply make more money. How you spend it though is also an important factor to consider as I’m sure everyone has read of stories of wealthy individuals becoming broke. Hopefully from writing this blog, I can aspire people to take control of their financial situations and by sharing the events happening around my life it could provide others with ideas to help enrich their lives.

Writing this blog may also come with some consequences as due to the nature of the theme topic, I am prepared to take a lot of criticism from people who feel that they can offer superior advice and lets not forget about the amount of spam I will probably receive from people trying to pitch ways on how I can get rich quick. As I mentioned above, learning different things are always goals that I strive to achieve and writing this blog is something new for me which I hope you all will find beneficial and entertaining.
