My very first blog!

Wow! Never thought blogging is this easy! Hahahahaha... so happy. I keep telling my husband Steve Trapero that I will start a blog for him and I. His response was always:"get that newsletter out first, dear~." The newsletter is out and now it's blogging time! By the way, "that newsletter" is Pinnacle Design Center's first newsletter and you can read it at:

If you don't know what's Pinnacle Design Center, well, go to Http://www.PinnacleDesignCenter.com to find out more.

I thought I wouldn't have anything to write about at first but now I simply don't know where to start because there are too many things on my mind.

10 minutes later...

I have decided to write about how did I end up blogging now. 

Part 1 of the story

Two month ago, a business friend invited me to a lecture. It's one of those "free lecture" held in a Hotel conference room and before you walk in you know they are trying to sell you something. The lecture is titled something like : how to make money online for free. The entire lecture was in Chinese. What they are trying to sell is a one day seminar to teach you how to do affiliate marketing online and they are asking $1600. They'll also include a mini laptop that's worth $300 too! There are few reasons why I went to that lecture. One is to check out what they have to offer and more importantly I think they might know something that I didn't. I like to go to these kind of lecture to learn how to present or give public speeches. I also like to see how other people do businesses.

The only interesting part of that whole 1 hour lecture is when the presenter log in to his bank account to show how much money he makes from affiliate marketing online each month. It's a very interesting yet persuasive selling point. I didn't buy what they are trying to sell because I know I'm a smart woman and I believe that I can do better than him without his help. I spend two days the next week learning about affiliate marketing online. It turned out to be this 7 billion dollar business online each year. There are people making millions of dollar each month online from affiliate marketing. 

The idea of sitting in front of my computer and making money interest me a great deal.  and the story is to be continued...

  1. Haha, that's very interesting...I went to a conference similar to the one you went; it was trying to get people to become financial advisor and earn tons of money from that. Oh well, my belive is, if you've never graduated from an accounting major, whatever you say, I can't help it but being suspicious...

    So I also walked away without signing up what they're trying to sell too.
