Johnson.

Yeah, I was  going to write this post yesterday, but I got tired, so I forgot about writing it.

I’ve got a pretty big ego. Hell, my ego requires that I say that just so that it’s satisfied. Checking up the stats for this blog yesterday I think it was. Someone actually looked up my name. Johnson Kee. Now, it could’ve just been me on like a university computer or something… but man. It sent my imagination into overdrive.

I look up my Internet Marketing heroes, you know, Frank Kern, Edmund Loh, Aurelius Tjin and to an extent, Travis Sago. I look at how many hits their names get in Google’s External Keyword Tool. And I sigh. I dream. I wonder. What would it be like having someone you don’t even know look up your name from the side of the world?

Of course, your name has to be looked up for all the right reasons. I’d like to think that I’m at the crest of a new wave of Affiliate Marketers to grace the World Wide Web. One who effortlessly combines social media marketing, Web 2.0 and video marketing. Someone who has the gusto and vibrance to change the world.

Yeah, that’s who I want to be.

Everyone I’ve talked to this week has agreed with me when I say that this week’s going by bloody quickly. Like, it’s already Thursday night over here and I’ll be hitting the hay soon. I for one, believe Time does go at different speeds.

So I come home at around 5:40 pm and find the reply from the cinema that I went for the interview at on Sunday. As soon as I saw the words, “We regret to inform you…”, my heart sank.

I mean, you know how it goes. Of course I feel disappointed, but what can you do? I was confident that I would get in, and there’s nothing wrong with confidence, but when things don’t go your way, all you can really control is your response.

And I for one choose to turn it into something greater. Why, not getting the job at Hoyts means I am able to spend more time working on my Affiliate Marketing blogs. =)

At any rate, I was studying Japanese tonight. Did so for almost two hours, but a mate called and we had a good, old chat. I also got distracted on Digg.com and started looking for new news. After surfing on Digg.com for a while, I found an interesting Digg:

21 Amazing Entrepreneur Interviews You Must Listen To

It’s pretty cool. Considering that I see myself as a future entrepreneur, these short interviews were pretty cool. I only checked out a couple of them, but the notable Jeremy “Shoemoney” Schoemaker, is one of them. I’ve embedded one of the videos here for your (and my) viewing pleasure:

I’d like to think he draws parallels with Frank Kern of Mass Control and Mass Control 2.0. They’re two Internet Marketers who I respect very much and I ever do get to meet them… phwoah… =p

What they’re so good at is being themselves and being human. They effortlessly generate a sense of camaraderie and trust amongst people who watch them and people are drawn to them.

I guess you could say I’d like to be like them. It’s just something powerful really. Who needs to rely on advertising when people around the world are Googling your name? It’s a step above viral, since you are your own product. I guess it’s about selling yourself before selling your product. They’re just so bloody good at it.

Get this, I just went onto the Google External Keyword Tool and searched up “Frank Kern” and “Shoemoney” and guess how many hits they get per month.

8100. That’s Eight-thousand, one hundred hits per month. They are they’re own product. Just by being themselves, they are making a crapload of cash. Just by being honest, down-to-earth and themselves, they are making a killing while the other 99% of Internet Marketers are fighting over the scraps.

Mind boggling, isn’t it? Can’t imagine the day that I Google myself and find that I’m getting 270 hits a day to my name. I wonder if they know that. =p

At any rate, I’ve got a long way to go. But it’s all part and parcel. I’ve got the determination, I’ve got the skill. I just need the action. And I’m going to bring it.
