Badminton Tournament

I held this tournament two weeks ago and I know, I'm really late in posting them, but better late than never right? It was a lot of fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

The thought came about to have the badminton tournament because there are so many kids here in the neighborhood and I thought this would be a fun way to spend an afternoon. We had posted a  poster to let the kids know about our tournament and the different age divisions that we were going to have. To make it fair I wanted the kids to play with other kids in their age group so we had three age groups. Age 7-9, 10-13 & 14-17. We did charge the kids an entrance fee to play which was only Php 20, only $0.43. The fees I collected from all of the kids did not even come close to the amount of money that I spent on everything but that didn't matter as this was all about the kids and as long as they had fun I was happy.

For each age division I gave out three prizes, the first prize was Php 500 which is about $10.86, not bad after they only had to pay Php 20 to enter. The second prize was a little gift for the top boy player worth Php 100 and the third prize was a little gift for the top girl player worth Php 100. All participants that played though did get a bag of candy just for participating. In addition we also fed the kids a full meal which included pancit (noodles), hot dog and rice. For dessert we served fruit salad in little cups. So like I said I did end up spending more than I collected but it was satisfying to see all the kids having fun and just being happy.

I don't speak the language well yet and can only understand a few words here and there. It has been a real challenge for me but I manage. A parent had came up to me and let me know that what I had done was "beautiful" and that no one had done that before and they really appreciated it. They were speaking this in Filipino so I understood only parts of it but when he said that to me I felt really happy that someone acknowledged what I did. I also know that this is something that the kids won't forget either and as long as I am able to make an impact someway and somehow in a small way that is all that matters.

Because this tournament was such a success a lot of the adults have been coming up to me asking when the tournament for the adults is going to happen. I let them know that we will plan it sometime soon. I was also thinking to myself to cut down on my budget as well before I go broke (ha ha joking only)!! Enjoy the pictures.

Updates

I've neglected this blog I know but with good reason. As I mentioned in my previous blog I have been looking for ways to make money online. With so many options out there, it's hard to sort through what is real and going to make me the money versus just useless information and believe me there is a lot of useless information out there!

I've been focusing on this internet marketing thing for a little over 3 weeks and I have found myself in information overload at this point. I still am keeping positive though and know that there is money to be made out there is cyberspace, I just need to keep at it and stay focused.

With that being said right now I am focusing my efforts on affiliate marketing as I have read that for newbies that is the best way to go. It's easy and you don't have your own products and you don't even have to have your own website. The costs are minimal if you choose to get your traffic the free way but if you want to pay for traffic running campaigns you can do that too. There is a little bit more flexibility in being an affiliate too. Right now I am testing a bunch of different techniques to drive traffic as of course that is what is needed to drive sales!

I will be posting my affiliate links here periodically as getting backlinks is another method to SEO marketing. I would like to start off with one that I hold near and dear to my heart and that is the Truth About Six Pack Abs Program. As many of you know I have used this program to lose my unwanted belly fat and am totally thankful for finding this program as it has really opened my eyes to the dangers in the foods that I was eating and also taught me the right foods to eat that I now have incorporated into my daily eating habits. Here are the following sites that I have dedicated for this program:

The Program Itself:

The Blog I created:
www.blastbulgingbelly.blogspot.com

The Videos to Exercises listed in manual
Ab Videos

The videos are new and what a lot of people have been looking for as it is much easier to apply and on top of that there is a feature in which you can download them right to your iPod so you'll be able to access them in the gym or even at home easier.

So far for this particular product I have ran some campaigns on Facebook and Google and have made 2 sales and they both happened within a day of me running the ads. I did however stop running the ads as I was running other product campaigns and they weren't making me any money and I didn't want to go in the hole before I even started so I decided to just stop all my campaigns until I researched more and found out what the best way was to advertise. I was really excited though about those two sales because again they happened within a short period of time and although it may not seem like a lot it proved to me that I could do it, I just need to focus my efforts on what will work. They have a saying in the online marketing world and it's "show me you can make a dollar online first" once you do that you just have to tweak and perfect what you have done to make that dollar and more will come rolling in. I hope for me that's soon:)

There are a lot of other affiliate products that I have decided to promote but as stated earlier I will dedicate a blog post to them separately. I will also do my best to update my progress as writing it all out will give me a perspective on what I am doing and will also give me a chance to think through the things I am doing.
