My Home Office [PIC]

Posted on 27. May, 2008 by Brian Wong in Internet Marketing

For fun on this post, I thought I’d take you on a tour of my home office as it currently stands. As some of you might know, I will be moving to my permanent home/ office towards the end of the year. I am moving to a penthouse apartment on the 45th floor at K-Residence (SWEET!). It’s almost ready. I am currently going through the renovation plans with my interior designer.

In the meantime, this is where I work from (unless I am at Starbucks) or travelling:

Home Office

This is my “Brain Wall”. I always create “mind maps” while I am brainstorming as well as when I am in the process of creating a project. It seems to be the only thing that works well for me.
My 17″ MacBook Pro. Awesome machine. I run both Mac and Windows on it. I generate my own graphics, videos and audios. What can I say – its the perfect computer for me.
Affiliate Checks. Most of my online income is transfered online but I do get checks from Aweber, the Affiliate Center, Google Adsense and Clickbank.
17″ External Monitor. I use an external monitor rotated to Portrait size mostly to read eBooks and I do read A LOT of eBooks so its much easier this way.
Internet Courses. I spend about $5k to $10k per year on books, seminars and courses. Having the latest knowledge is the most important asset in my business.
Reading/ Work Desk. Currently reading Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide to Adwords. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve not used Adwords at all in my online business. I’m still not entirely convinced if it will help me in my online business. Seems to be too much competition for my niche markets on Adwords.

If you work from home too, I’m curious to know what your set up looks like. Post a link as a comment on this post if you care to share.

Great read and thanks for your input! I just never saw the value in Twitter..I did until all the spammers came along then pretty much stopped using it.

In terms of your experience, do you still see it as a way to generate income or Twitter should be used more for brand awareness and company updates? Any thoughts on this?

I don't see Twitter as a stand-alone money making tool. There are some
who do it but it will put their followers off. I would recommend
against any direct promotions of products or services unless you are
only after the short term gain.

I see Twitter as an important communication tool. And it will only
become more and more important in the future as more website integrate
directly with the Twitter API.

It can build your brand, give you mass feedback and drive a lot of
traffic to your online properties. In that sense, it is a very
powerful money making tool but it must be used with a long-term view
together with your other business assets.

Regardless, it is definitely worth the time to use Twitter and to
start building a solid following based on mutual respect and you
should definitely strive to add value to your Twitter followers.
