Internet Promotions Centers Initially Defined

ePinoyBiz.com as the upcoming and biggest hub of Internet Promotions Centers, may be an ambitious task to handle. Let me describe what is to be a hub of Internet Promotions Centers in the following words:

As the primary target market for ePinoyBiz.com’s goal of beceoming a hub for Internet Promotions Centers, we recognized that affiliate marketing is a billion dollar global arena, where truths as the following are known. That Affiliates:

  • are tired of not having a central area where they have ALL their Affiliate links are.
  • are tired of paying $60 to $150 to make your links the right one to attract potential customers.
  • don’t know how to centralize their SEO efforts
  • want to have a Promotions Center which when indexed by the Search Engines will index every affiliate link they own?

As one may read in Prosperity Consciousness, it was mentioned how difficult for anyone to start in this new career known as online marketing. We at ePinoyBiz.com are yet starting ourselves.

But as we have web developer talents, ePinoyBiz.com started in the unusual way, we have ePinoyBiz.com/ads/ as a helper tool.

The following features try to address the concerns of affiliates mentioned above:

  • FREE membership, becoming an Internet Promotions Center owner
  • FREE unlimited links/ads/blogs/articles promotions
  • FREE links cloaking tool for each affiliate link
  • FREE listing into ePinoyBiz.com Classifieds
  • FREE “Featured Ads” categorization of ads/promotions
  • FREE use of WYSIWYG Editor for your Ads/Posts
  • FREE networking with other ePinoyBiz.com Entrepreneurs or eStore/Internet Promotions Center Owners

Prosperous add-on Features of ePinoybiz.com Classifieds

Affiliate Marketers may start to be thankful because ePinoyBiz.com eStore and Classifieds is here! Started as a mere FREE links directory listing conceptualized by its owner, to help others promote their very own articles, blogs, ads, and online/offline businesses. At that time, the owners were merely basing things from what they read about search engines merely crawling all around the entire web to collect links. Along the way as ePinoyBiz.com conducted researches and readings, they discovered the huge affiliates world, where successful, money-making bloggers who either accidentally or intentionally are involving themselves. Curious of how affiliates go about things, one at a time, ePinoyBiz.com founder, willowdan, was discovering the tools being used in the affiliate world. One of those willowdan immediately relate to as he himself a backend web developer, was the link cloaking technique the affiliates marketer employ in posting links. So in less than a day epinoyBiz.com iintroduced its own Prosperious Links.

Prosperous Links can be read in Prosperous Links ads at http://epinoybiz.com/ads/ad-139-ePinoyBiz-Prosperous-Links,-FREE! They are simple Links that do not resemble an affiliate link format, rather formatted in usually well described manner such as

compared to

Now-a-days it is also observed that a typical internet surfer is member of a social networking web application such as Firndster or Facebook, or LinkedIn. ePinoyBiz.com never overlooked that part, hence all ePinoyBiz.com eStore / Promotions Center owners may network themselves together and form alliances, either for business of personal gains.

Once logged in, any ePinoyBiz.com Entrepreneurs may notice the link “Connect to [ePinoyBiz Entrepreneur]” where [ePinoyBiz Entrepreneur] may be any eStore or Promotions Center one may be visiting and can be a potential network for business or personal profile.

ePinoyBiz.com eStore is truly an Internet Promotions Center.

Creating a TypePad.com account for better blogging management

Great service, TypePad.com Connect definitely fits into ePinoyBiz.com’s future. Following are part of its FAQ’s:

What is TypePad Connect?
TypePad Connect is a suite of services available to all bloggers that makes community management easier for bloggers with the ability to track, moderate and respond to comments across multiple sites and blogs from one dashboard or via email. With TypePad Connect you can build a lively community on your blog or site with reader profiles and encourage more comments with great features, such as threaded comments and reply-by-email.

Is TypePad Connect only for TypePad bloggers?
No! TypePad Connect is available to everyone – you don’t have to have a TypePad blog. In fact, we provide step-by-step directions for popular blogging software platforms Movable Type (versions 3.x & 4.x) and WordPress.org (2.0 and higher) as well as blogging services Blogger, Tumblr, and, of course, TypePad.

And you don’t need to be blogging to use TypePad Connect. You can add TypePad Connect to any page on the web with a simple snippet of JavaScript, and you’ll still get all the same great features as if you were using TypePad Connect on a blog.

I have multiple blogs. Can I use TypePad Connect for all of them?
We know many people have more than one blog so we created TypePad Connect with that in mind. You can add TypePad Connect to as many blogs or websites as you wish and manage all of the comments through one interface.

Additional concepts …

Really good to chat once in a while with those genuine persons out there with pure intentions to help. Thanks to Rob Mcguire who shared his blog (http://www.daddymcguire.com/) a few hours ago, helping me on SEO stuff.

Just this morning the project evolved from mere directory/ads site into a semi-social networking concept, as I’ll be adding friends and buddies within the spirit of entrepreneurship. So, in glimpse, all members will have his or her own web or eStore, but without any fees. Yes, you heard me right. Each ePinoyBiz.com entrepreneur get to promote any legit, moral values, services, and or products under the sun. Members even get to have two slots for featured ads within their store atop the eight wich are in front of their own stores.

Monetizing options are next, but still under evaluation.

Updates on optimization

The visual editor has been up and running, after a glitch in the uploading process. Optimizing the Classifieds for speed by reducing the image sizes of the thumbnails has been done, and we have decided on not to do an on-the-fly resizing of images. We had switched off the adRanking for the meantime.

The Thumbnail images per ad per user feature of Classifieds has been implemented, as well as the reconfiguration of mcFileManager to assure that no mixing of files and folders are made. Images to be uploaded as representative pictures are restricted to 320px width and are automatically resized to 65px width. Images which will be part of the ads are restricted to 40Kb file size.

Thumbnail images per ad per user feature of Classifieds

Targeting to finish this feature within the day. This will make each user of ePinoyBiz.com Classifieds to have his/her own uploaded_images folder upon account activation. This may be tedious considering that there are already existing sample accounts in the database.

Next will be to configure/recode mcFileManager to dynamically point/read files based on the user_id. Once finished, this should hopefully reduce my stress and worries on releasing a much more feature rich and faster ePinoyBiz.com Classifieds.

Welcome to ePinoyBiz.com

Welcome to ePinoyBiz.com!

A life long dream for me to eventually make a live site that I can maintain … promise … given that I begun developing something possibly worth a few bunch of people’s attention, my target market … the small entrepreneurs. I may not succeed this first time, but I know I have to start somewhere.

The eDirectory or Classifieds is my first among the web projects I plan to dedicate for ePinoyBiz.com. It is a product of Craigslist success story I read in brief. I was stunned with the site’s simplicity and wide acceptance of a huge community that uses its services. Duplicating Craigslist success may be remote, but possible, and inspiring enough for me to come up with ePinoyBiz.com Business Directory.

I simply based my reasoning from the mere fact that a lot of Pinoys are venturing into micro, small to medium sized enterprises. I am a no-marketing expert or guru, but one thing I know, basic sales and promotion knowledge do a good thing for anyone’s business. So I started with the basics. With ePinoyBiz.com Classifieds, anyone can freely be a member by registering as a member of the portal, fill in a few details, then he/she gets to use a powerful WYSIWYG editor that can format a brief ad on whatever choice of color and font one desires.

Yes, I want to build a community, a loyal one that will support these efforts, and I need everyone’s help. Quite ambitious if you will, but if I’ll be helped by a community, this may lead to a realization of more projects in the works, which is the adWidget.

I am hopeful this effort will not go down the drain in a snap, through your help.
