Babyproof your iPhone, iPad!

1. Put your non-deletable apps in first page. Such as those default by Apple. Or don’t put any apps on first page!

2. If you MUST have a deletable app on first page, put them into folders. 

3. If unfortunately the apps are already deleted, DO NOT sync and backup unto your computer’s iTunes. You can sync but please disable the syncing on your iPhone immediately! And then try and restore from your previous backup. 

4. Some apps like Awesome Note, has online syncing that backs up your notes in an online account. And has auto-backing up. This, compared to the iPhone notepad is much better. 

5. Build a “Recycle Bin” app for your undoing actions on your iPhone. haha. 

6. Last resort: contact your third party app company to see if they can help you!

The Notion of Expert – as long as you know a little more than others.

Exactly one month ago, I started posting regularly about anything and everything I find interesting about Online Marketing… my aim was to play the expert by sharing my knowledge.

2 weeks later, I got a quotation request for a design job.
Another week later, I got another quotation request for a web developing job.
Today, I got a friend in IT asking me about hosting.

I also started adding mass amounts of people but the contacts above are from known friends, people whom I have more than once and had conversations more than once.

Although these requests are not very relevant to my particular field of interest, but it just shows at which level the Singapore is progressing for the Web / Internet industry. Most companies are still stuck at web development needs. And then after that, they don’t maintain it and do not see the use and need of a website. This is where I come in. I dust your website and bring it out to meet people.

Tim Ferris was right: to be the expert, you don’t need to know everything about a subject, you just need to know a little more than the average person.

Managing Email Tips – how not to feel overwhelmed when you check in! (Gmail)

-Prepare 2 spam accounts (one for NEVER checking in, another for only checking in when you calendar tells you to)
-Make use of Gmail’s Delegated accounts to check spam accounts in an instant. Do not forward emails from spam accounts to your main account.
-Lazy to archive? You can limit your page view to show 10 or 15 emails max so emails will just “disappear out of your screen” automatically.
-Create multiple inbox to contain emails you want to keep an eye on but not necessarily act on it.

My method of getting (quality) Twitter followers

There are a lot of ways of getting Twitter followers. When Twitter allowed the option of auto-follow-back-those-who-followed-you, many spam accounts were created just so that reciprocation is met. And in fact, many lists were created for twitter accounts who auto-followback so that those who wants to increase their follower counts can add these fellows.

There are however some orthodox ways to get the kind of followers you are targetting. Twitter, like any website, thrives on the golden rule of creating good content.

-Follow followers of twitter users who are like you. Eg. you are a chef, find other chef twitter accounts and follow their followers.

-Use tags to tweet about topics you are interested in and soon people who are interested in your topics will find you.

-What if your intended audience do not check their following list very often? Doesn’t help that the official Twitter app does not allow you to approve/disappove followers. I have also found that retweeting their tweets with a personalized content is far more effective than sending them a direct message. My DM box is filled with hundreds of messages the moment I start mass following accounts. And it is no secret that twitter management apps and subscriptions out there is So retweeting with a personalized message would definitely make you stand out. Eg. Apple is fixing their antenna!!

-Add your twitter profile to a list on Twibes. You can add yourself up to 10 lists.

-Make your own list, distribute it around on twibes/twitter/email/facebook and ask for contributions. “Anybody else you can think of to add to the list of ‘Singapore’s Food Bloggers’?”

If you would like to build your followers very fast and crave on all the auto-followers I mentioned above, here are the lists I found:

**Please note that Twitter disabled their auto-followback function but these accounts might still be actively following back accounts manually.
