Ladan Lashkari’s Internet Marketing Blog

Recently I am back from a one-year vacation …

"A one year vacation?" You may be wondering who takes such a long vacation?

Well, a niche marketers with an automated profit-generating business does.

Yes, it was almost one year that I’ve been relaxing, having fun, and spending my time on my favorite hobbies… while the business was generating profits on autopilot every single day.

The only thing I needed to do was to check my emails and keep track of the sales, which took just 30-60 minutes a day .

Isn’t life amazing this way?

So next time someone tells you they think the dream of making money online easily and having sales coming in, while you are relaxing on the beach is a myth… tell them to think again .

Of course it’s a fact that it takes lots of dedication, time, and energy in the beginning to start up your business and get it running. But the beauty of the online business model is that once you set up a proven system, it’s going to breathe on its own and generate results on autopilot.

And that, my friend, is when the REAL fun begins.

"So Why Did I Take This Long Vacation?"

Why did I take one year off while I could work more and increase my income?

Good question. Honestly, even though my business was doing great, I felt like some other areas of my life was missing my attention - my loved ones, my hobbies, growing my personality and becoming a better person, etc.

Also I had been working real hard for the past 3 years before that. So I really needed a break to stop and smell the roses. So I chose to take some time off to recharge my batteries… And I am so glad I did.

But recently I am finally back from this long, relaxing vacation with a supercharged energy to bring triple results.

More than anything, I look forward to helping YOU achieve you your business goals , so you too can have your own highly profitable, automated, cash-generating business… and your dream lifestyle .

See you around.

I just made a new post on my Let’s Wow! blog that thought to let you know about here.

You can see lots of fun photos of my Christmas adventures this year here…

See the rest of the photos…

So here’s a special message for a special person: YOU

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a splendid new year filled with happiness and success.

And hope that next year at this time , you have a big, wide smile on your face thinking about all the amazing goals you achieved in 2009 .

No matter which part of the world you are, special warm Holiday wishes coming your way from the sunny Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Merry Christmas!

So 2008 is coming to an end in just a few days and we are welcoming the new year. The question is…

How would a smart entrepreneur finish up the year?

Here are 4 important secrets that top 1% most successful people use today…

One whole year…

12 full months…

Can you imagine how many valuable lessons and experiences we’ve gained? All the mistakes we made and things we learned. And if you just walk out of 2008 without noticing and remembering them, it is like throwing away your one year’s valuable life.

And then we’ll end up going through 2009 making the same mistakes, unless we learn from the past to use the opportunities in the future.

So let’s take a careful look at your 2008 and find the treasures to use for faster success in the coming new year.

2. Sharpen Your Goals for Your Next Year

The next step is choosing which goals you want to target in 2009. After all without knowing where exactly you’re heading to, you can never get there, can you?

So Why Did I Start a New Blog?

When I first started this current blog, LadanLashkari.com, it was supposed to be about Internet marketing and online business, not a personal blog.

But over time, I couldn’t help but to notice that personal posts about motivation and success have been the most popular posts here, not the business-related ones.

So since the topic of success, self improvement, and motivation seems to be the favorite for most of our readers here, and also because I happen to be very passionate about writing in this area, I have started a new blog for you dedicated to this topic.

So LadanLashkari.com will keep its focus on Internet marketing and online business tips…

And the new blog, Let’sWow.com will be all about what you and other readers secretly wanted to see more of. It will also have a more personal, one-on-one voice and feel for you.

So Let’s Wow together!

One of my friends forwarded this email to my and I found it inspirational, so decided to share it with you here. Hope you enjoy it and look at some beautiful moments of your life in a new light…

Some of the best moments in Life…

To fall in love.

To laugh until it hurts your stomach.

To listen to your favorite song in the radio.

To go to bed and to listen while it rains outside.

To find money in a pant that you haven’t used since last year.

To receive a call from someone, you don’t see a lot, but you want to.

To laugh at yourself looking at mirror, making faces.

To clear your last exam.

To go for a vacation to some pretty place.

To laugh without a reason.

Have you tried to push yourself to do lots of work one after another and you felt your energy was getting less and less, and so was your enthusiasm for your work?

Have you noticed how your motivation and excitement for work falls down after a few hours, comparing to when you first get to your computer?

Well, it is because of this reason…

We are sometimes unfair to ourselves!

Yes, that’s right. We push ourselves and push ourselves to "get more things done", without giving our mind any reward for it.

It is like when you were a kid, your parents kept pushing you to study and get great scores at school, and when you did your very best and after sleepless nights accomplished that, they just say to you…

"OK, good. So now start right away for your next exam… Also don’t forget to get great scores for it too. Also there is your other exam after that. No, no, no time for rest or playing. Get right back to study!"

Hmmm, how would you feel then?

Honestly wouldn’t you get upset and lose your motivation to keep studying and getting good grades?

Now what if your parents took the total opposite approach and told you…

Several months ago I discovered an amazing keyword research tool great for AdSense publishers…

I thought over the idea of sharing it here in public a few times until I decided to finally do it.

Because you see, this tool is so powerful that I thought maybe lots of people would rush to it and use it to create niche websites for AdSense and it makes the markets I am in too crowded.

But then I decided that Thinking Abundance is what is the way to go. Because when we give more, it doesn’t take anything away from us usually. Also it comes back in another form to us in the future.

Anyway, so here you’re going to discover this fantastic tool…

==> Keyword Country

I won’t go into the details all the great benefits it has and how it helps you do specific keyword research because you can find them all on their helpful website.

Just in summary, you can find lots of very high paying keywords for your AdSense sites using it.

I’m talking about keywords that bring $2-3 clicks… instead of usual tiny $0.05 clicks that just "break our hearts" when we see them in our AdSense stats.

After several months of trying the software for my 10+ brand new niche sites, I’m getting more and more amazed…

Here’s one of the most powerful secrets to having a razor-sharp mind that works amazingly…

*Make Lists!*

If I had to pick the secret to being super-productive and getting so much done in a day that average people take a week to do … I’d definitely pick this secret.

What is even more amazing about this secret, is that after doing all these tasks, your mind still feels at peace, while you see other people with one-tenth of what you do, wandering around feeling stressed.

People who know me close will tell you Ladan always carries a notebook in her bag wherever she goes - whether it is a business seminar or vacation in Hawaii. She keeps lists of ideas and thoughts in the notebook and reviews them often.

And that is what I really consider one of insider secrets to being so productive every day, and still feeling in control and in peace.

So here’s the key to ultimate productivity and simplification in your life …

Make a list of everything!

So it’s been a while that I haven’t made frequent posts on this blog, so you may be wondering where I was or what had been keeping me busy?

As much I loved to take some time to still keep writing for you here, because I always enjoy sharing anything I know with you and also hearing your comments…

But the truth is I was very busy with some personal matters and also some other business projects.

As for the personal matters, yes, we all do have a personal life - even us Internet marketers.

After all, money isn’t everything .

"Yeah, right! "

Well, I agree with a part of how you feel. Because there are two types of people who say this exact thing…

• Those who are broke and say it just as a lame excuse to defend why they are not successful

And…

• Those who are rich and have already tasted how it’s like to have lots of money, but have seen how money can’t buy everything. So they have reached a higher place that they see beyond just "money, money, and more money"

So OK, I am certainly not broke so I consider myself in the second group.

So as we were saying, one of the reasons I was away from blogging for a while was giving more attention and priority to my personal life… and to people I care about.

But another thing keeping me busy this past 2 months, was getting into a new Internet marketing "hobby":

Niche marketing.

I was never a hard-core niche marketer. Most of my business was focused on targeting the Internet marketing niche. That was my passion and something I felt I was great at.

But recently, for the fun of the marketing experiment and to get the thrill of the challenge of trying a brand new road, I got into niche marketing…

And after 2 months, let me tell you that I love it.

It is not only very profitable, but also it is so much fun to get into so many various niches and conquer them, and at the same time grow your knowledge in so many different topics.

For example now I know many things about dog allergies, hair care, loans, makeup secrets, interior design and so much more, just because of building some sites about them.

So if you are the type of person who enjoys new experiences and loves growing your knowledge on various fields, niche marketing will be so much fun for you.

Talk to you soon!
