Giving Out Flyers

Joelseah — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:20:47 +0000

Spent the morning giving out flyers for Home Tuition Solutions around Sengkang. You’ll find this hard to believe, but giving out flyers door to door is not as relaxing as it seems.. For a start, the flyers need to be folded in a manner whereby it is easy to slot between the grills, and yet not be blown away by the wind.

Also, going down the 15 levels of stairs for every block slowly takes its toll, not to mention the occasional dogs and unwelcoming home owners. So there you go folks, if you’re considering distributing flyers for some income.. think again because it can potentially be quite tough work for 10 odd dollars every thousand pieces you distribute.

Find Me On Twitter!

Joelseah — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 07:13:26 +0000

Haven’t exactly posted much the past couple of days cos I was busy marketing the new Communication Skills Ebook that I launched and ironing out some stuff in the system. And I’ve signed up for a Twitter account for myself too =P

Yeah.. joining the bandwagon on the next wave of social networking genius. Haha.. Twitter is kinda cool. It’s what they call micro blogging, so you get to post short little messages which cannot exceed 140 characters. It’s like sending a short SMS to all your contacts. The difference of course is that Twitter has a global base.

And it’s a great tool for marketing yourself, your products, or your business. Take for example, when I post something new on my communication blog, I do a Tweet (yes, that’s what they call those Twitter messages) and all those who follow me will learn about it. It works like an RSS feed for my blog. However, I can potentially get more followers at a faster rate using Twitter than RSS. Cool ya?

So there you go. Start Tweeting! =P

Using My Blog To Sell Phones

Joelseah — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:17:43 +0000

I made an amazing discovery a few days back (okie well, maybe not THAT amazing =p).. my blog is actually a pretty decent tool to help promoters sell phones!

There i was, lying on bed and using my N97 test set (The internet is filled with news about it so i take it as a sign that i can name the model too). I was checking out Formula 1 and soccer sites, when i suddenly wondered how my blog would look on the phone screen.

To my pleasant surprise, it looked perfectly good =) And the best part is, i’m able to view the youtube videos that i posted without any lag or problems. The pictures i posted looked good too. In addition, subscribing for my RSS feed was a breeze.. just click on the RSS icon somewhere near the top and you’re subscribed!

Imagine showing customers this blog (or their own for that matter), then showing them how the videos and pictures look, and how easy it is to subscribe to RSS. That is natural story telling at its best!

So there, this will now become my “Demo Post”. I’m gonna show this post everytime i do a demonstration in training =p

The So Called Hygiene Masks

Joelseah — Mon, 11 May 2009 11:41:29 +0000

If you’ve been to hospitals or polyclinics recently, you would have seen many people wearing masks. Apparently, what the medical staff do is to take your temperature before you enter the premise, and if you have a cold or a cough (or anything that may be contagious), they’ll give you a mask to put on.

So the mask is there for obvious reasons. It is to prevent the spread of viruses. What disturbs me is when I walk past Sengkang Polyclinic, I see the masks all over the grass patches just outside the polyclinic. Here is one example of the many masks on the ground:

Food for thought: If the masks are gonna end up on the ground, then why bother issuing it in the first place? Wouldn’t this create a greater danger instead?

How To Brush Your Teeth

Joelseah — Mon, 04 May 2009 09:33:31 +0000

Went to the dentist today for my routine checks, which isn’t very routine considering this is the third time I’m visiting a dentist for the past 10 years (yes yes.. I’m one of those who never visit the dentist after leaving secondary school). However, I’ve made it a point to visit the dentist every 6 months since last year =)

My teeth aren’t exactly in terrible shape, though they’re not in tip top condition either. So in a bid to ensure I don’t need unnecessary trips to the dentist and waste more money, I’ve decided to start brushing my teeth properly! *Applause!

Okie anyway, here are some tips on brushing teeth that I found. Figured I’ll share this with everyone in case you guys are facing similar problems.

Step 1: Prepare your toothbrush. Moisten your toothbrush with water and apply a thin strip of toothpaste. Try to choose one that contains fluoride.

Step 2: Start in the back. Start with your upper molars (back teeth) on your left side and work in a clockwise direction. Point the bristles toward the gumline, in a 45 degree angle. Use a short circular motion for approximately 20 seconds.

Step 3: Roll away. After 20 seconds, roll the brush head away from the gumline, so the bristles sweep the surface of the tooth, removing the food and plaque.

Step 4: Work in a clockwise direction. Continue working in a clockwise direction, ending with the lower molars on your left side. Repeat step two and three for the inside surface of the upper and lower molars.

Step 5: Brush the back surface of the upper front teeth. Brush the lingual (back) surface of the upper-front teeth by using the tip of the toothbrush head. Direct the bristles toward the gumline, and use a flicking motion down the surface of the tooth. Do this 2 to 3 times.

Step 6: Brush the back of the lower front teeth. Point the bristles of the tip of the toothbrush toward the gumline. Flick the bristles up, away from the gumline in a sweeping motion. Do this 2 to 3 times.

Step 7: Brush the biting surface. Brush the biting surface of the upper and lower premolars and molars, using a circular motion.

Step 8: Finish with rinse. Finish by rinsing with either water or your choice of mouthwash.
