Sean Foo (The Brand)

Consolidating Sean Foo's Posts in WordPress

2008-12-01T05:08:00.000-08:00

I am in the process of migrating all Sean Foo's related personal posts to my blog at WordPress (seanfoo.wordpress.com). Keeping track of my multiple journals across different blogging platforms is time-consuming and extremely schizophrenic!

For personal branding purposes and journal updating about my commercial blog at www.bestremediesonline.com, I will confine my posts to seanfoo.wordpress.com.

There will be quite a lot of house-keeping at first and I think it's worth the time and effort to separate my personal ranting from my objective to create consistent branding across all platforms.

I have already removed tags for 'Sean Foo' from bestremediesonline.com but Google still displays the cached links to pages that have been removed. I will monitor to see how my keywords ranking for 'Sean Foo' are affected.

Reviewing Twitter Through Plaxo's Syndication

2008-11-22T22:35:00.000-08:00

I recently updated via my Twitter homepage that I will not post my ongoing activities via Twitter due to the GTalk IM bug. It was much easier to update my posts to Twitter when I could 'chat' through the Twitter IM. The interface was much smaller and cleaner via GTalk.

However, it appears that Twitter is very much integrated with the rest of my blogging and social networking platforms and whatever I posted in the other social media websites was automatically updated in Twitter. I have inserted my Plaxo badge widget as a reference.

So the irony is, although I am not directly updating my activities via my Twitter homepage or even my Twitter account, Twitter is receiving RSS feeds about my activities online and is posting my updates through Twitter to the rest of my syndicated websites.

So I will resume my faith in Twitter for the time being, although there are reported bugs in being able to 'follow' threads. As for Plaxo, there is a premium fee required to use their tools, so if you wish to build a network for business connectivity, it is pretty limited.

More Egotistic Pursuits Online For Self-Branding

2008-11-21T17:41:00.000-08:00

It is evident that my blogs are doing quite well in the Search Engine rankings. Not only is my name Sean Foo, top in Google, it is also finally being picked up by Yahoo and MSN :)

Attached are the screen shots for keywords, "Sean Foo":

By turning my name, Sean Foo, into a brand, and labelling myself as 'The Brand Man', I have literally created a new tagline cum keywords combo: Sean Foo, The Brand Man.

When you search for "Sean Foo The Brand Man", this blog was listed firstin Google:
But by the time you read this post, things will have changed ... Such is the dynamic life online! Nothing stays the same for long and maintaining your Search Engine ranking is a constant and vigilant investment of time and effort.

In this age of Self-Idolism and personal branding, it is paramount to have credibility and longevity. Being first and on top helps immensely because as what they always say in marketing, you want to remain "Top of Mind"!

I will reveal what is the latest development for Sean Foo The Brand in my next posts. Something is brewing in my little brain...

S.E.A.N.F.O.O.

2008-10-24T10:17:00.000-07:00

I have coined a new term using acronyms from my namesake, which is also my personal brand definition:

S=Sustainable
E=Entrepreneurial
A=Ambitious
N=Nucleus
F=Fortune-hunter
O=Offbeat
O=Omnivore

For the record, I will elaborate on the first and last definition for 'S' and 'O'.
For Sustainability, I am a proponent of the Sustainable Movement and Sustainability.
As for being an Omnivore, I refer to the definition given by The Free Dictionary (www.thefreedictionary.com): One that takes in everything available, as with the mind; which aptly describes my open-mindedness.

Vision and Mission For BestRemediesOnline.Com

2008-10-24T09:39:00.000-07:00

Over this long weekend, thanks to the Deepavali holiday in Singapore, I will have the opportunity to revamp my major commercial blogging project. I always refer to BestRemediesOnline.Com (BRO) as a commercial project and I'm still far from making any money out of it!

Honestly, I place more emphasis on sharing personal experiences and knowledge. My focus in life has never been on generating more income for myself other than trying to get a higher salary, better perks, etc.

My prime motivation for my blogs is to experiment and observe, monitoring my evolution as a blogger. My justification to expend time and effort, sacrificing sleep and leisure, is the potential for my blogs to generate income. However, I realised that this was just another excuse to pick up a new skill. I want my blogs to really benefit my visitors/guests, to inspire them to try out new stuff the way I did...to be curious and learn how they personally can do things better, faster, more creatively and effectively.

I have a grand vision for BRO and I am setting my goal to align its contents and information structure to communicate my intentions and ideas with greater clarity and purpose. I hope to make it come alive not through ad-hoc contributions but by being disciplined in carrying out my plans.

Wish me success!

Expanding My Social Networks Into Travel Blogs

2008-10-04T07:08:00.000-07:00

I spent almost the whole of my weekends enhancing my photo albums online with Picasa and Flickr just so that I can start writing my travel posts. As of this morning, I managed to create 2 add-ons to this blog, one widget featuring photos from my Picasa account and another displaying a Flickr photo-stream 'badge' (flash-enabled).

By this evening, I also set up my first travel blog at www.travelpod.com/members/seanfoo and that is quite an accomplishment considering that I was simultaneously watching Komodo Vs Cobra on TV while uploading my photos :)

Return To Blogging Activities

2008-05-24T23:54:00.001-07:00

Wow! It had been a very hectic week for me these 2 weeks, preparing for major shifts in my life.

Weekends are spent clearing out old stuff and making room for new living arrangements with my wife at my parents-in-law's house. The physical office that I'm working at now will also be relocated next weekend and I'm doing some advance packing today.

I wanted to journal 2 important updates to my blogs:

1. I have reactivated my PayPal account, which I had registered for since 2005! (but did absolutely nothing and there is no account activity at all...)

2. I intend to create 3 major reference resource links to 3 Money-Making systems which I feel have true transformational value in people's lives:

Money & You
Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich
Wealth Dynamics

The above are principles which I personally believe strongly in and subscribe to (and still trying to apply over the last few years since I got exposed to them). Since I have not made my first million yet, I am not a good case study. Hey, I'm working on it!

Top Ranking For Blog At Personal Domain

2008-04-28T21:13:00.001-07:00

Ever since i updated my blog at www.bestremediesonline.com with a new template, my google ranking has been enhanced!

The link to my blog hosted at www.bestremediesonline.com is now near the top for key word 'sean foo'. I will use my blog to record some sort of reality journal to track how I became GREENed!

So far, I have not seen my blog at Blogger listed in Google pages yet for the keywords for my name 'Sean Foo'. But for all other purposes of blogging, it's still useful as a nice template for reference.

The Greening of Sean Foo

2008-04-28T02:02:00.001-07:00

Hi,

I am an average ordinary Singaporean who does not care too much about the environment except for saving trees until I started working for my current company, Roof & Facade Pte Ltd.

The only thing I had been exceptionally fanatical about was reusing tissue paper!

I believe education and awareness is the way to go to help change the world, one tree one hope!

I stumbled upon a nifty software that converts photos to sketched images. Had a lot of fun trying out different combinations. This is one of my favourite photo of myself when I was in The Green Book. Suddenly my messy cabinet behind looks arty farty har!

Soon I'll be posting my beautiful flower series to photo sites and see how much market value they command. Wonder whether I should place a watermark on my photos to protect my copyrights. Hmm...

2007-12-06T09:43:00.000-08:00

I registered for Photoblog and Facebook. Last checked, only my name Sean Foo is still worth mentioning in SEO ranking. My other blogs (budgetbrandbuilder.blogspot.com & www.bestremediesonline.com) are nowhere to be found. Not surprising since I have not been updating them, really pathetic. Still far from my Internet Millionare goal...

Trying out online storage - MediaMax

2007-12-06T08:32:00.000-08:00

It is time for me to sleep...I need rest. But this virtual storage that I am using to upload a small file is driving me nuts. It suggests that I download an app called Streamload for quicker uploading of files but after installing the program, it seems to hang during the attempt to upload into MediaMax. Bugger!

Anyway, I gave up on the client software and used the browser-based interface to upload, which was much faster (almost immediate). So much for trying to save time. Shouldn't have bothered with the download, :P

Ok all done, going to bed now. Good night folks!
