I have a confession to make. I just don’t have a lot of time to create a nice post this week. And I did promise myself that I would try my best to make at least one post per week.

My excuse? Well, I’ve been very busy with my investment properties this week. I just got the keys to two units that I bought over the last few years. It only took 1 week to get the first one rented out (very happy about that) and I’m busy fitting out the office property I bought so I can rent it out too.

But, what’s taking up most of my time is pimping out my own apartment that I am moving into this year. I posted the view from the apartment on the comments to a previous post.

If you missed it, here is the video again:

So to fill in for this week, I thought I’d share with you one of the many “cool” features of my new apartment. It’s called “Servo-Drive”. I’ll let the video to the explaining for me:

Don’t forget to let me know what you think. :)

I keep falling for it. Each time there is a Wordpress version update, I cannot resist upgrading. Mostly because I hate seeing the message that “there’s a new version of Wordpress, please update!” message. It makes me feel as though my version is old.

However, each time I upgrade I end up spending an hour trying to fix the bugs that make Wordpress work EXACTLY the way I wanted it to work BEFORE I upgraded! Hmmmm! Something is wrong with this equation! I upgrade so I can spend an hour making my blog look exactly the way it was before I upgrade.

Anyway, if you have upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.1 do check that your RSS feeds working properly! What I discovered was that my RSS feed was completely empty even though I have been publishing posts. This was very troubling because I use FeedSmith to redirect all my feeds to Feedburner. If you go to my original feed at www.brianwong.com/blog/rss2.php you will see that the feed reports ZERO posts on my blog despite all my posts!

The fix?

Well I discovered that my feed at www.brianwong.com/blog/feed still works. So this is what I had to do to get back online:

1. Disable the FeedSmith plugin
2. Edit my RSS source in Feedburner from www.brianwong.com/blog/rss2.php to www.brianwong.com/blog/feed

So the next time Wordpress comes up with the message ” “there’s a new version of Wordpress, please update!” will I upgrade??

Sigh! I guess I am a sucker for punishment, I think I would still do it.

I’ve been hard at work to complete my next Internet project. Introducing…

The “IM” is short for “Internet Marketing” and “Buzz” because you get paid by cutting and pasting a few lines of code to share the videos for free!

This site will officially launch on April 25, 2008. If you want a SNEAK PEAK and get a head start promoting the affiliate program - visit this link:

IMVIDEOBUZZ BACKSTAGE PASS

On the face of it, this is a simple membership site. The lead in offer is this:

However, the MAIN product is actually over 315 detailed Camtasia videos of almost everything you need to learn about Internet Marketing! Pretty awesome eh?

But on this post, I wanted to share what I believe is the MOST powerful feature of this project. The main feature is the “Affiliate Promo Tools”! This project allows ANYONE to make money online by giving away FREE Internet Marketing videos. I pay MORE than 50% commission on all levels of purchase - the front end, mid-end and back-end offers. This is a rabid niche and you can easily find people who want video tutorials online.

What I spent the MOST time on in this project is the affiliate promotion tools. I’ve not seen any other site that offers more resources, tools and tutorials for this kind of membership site. Just going through that section is an eye-opener for anyone who wants to know how else to promote online. You must see it.

Register to check it out today. If you are interested to get a JV Pass, let me know too.
