Sorry for missing the update of the progress on my work pledge since last month, it was a tough time for many people living in Hong Kong, including me.
Though politics is never my cup of tea, the #occupycentral activity undergoing here do have a great impact to our daily work routine. If you have not heard about what’s going on here in Hong Kong, have a look at the CNN news here:

Politic is always a game of manipulation, and same as in the corporate politics. One thing I dislike last month is, I lost a 5 figure potential business deal, just because of a corporate policy changed on my client’s side, that forced him to stop the project completely! We have been in discussion for over 2 months. It is really ashamed and I was so disappointed and stressful. We have spent so much effort there!
Any, Have a look of my progress here:
Results vs Target
Here comes the end of my 50 days and here is the result. I overshoot all the followers target, but seems have a difficulty in growing the email list.
Seems the existing magnet is not attractive anymore? I have decided to change a bit.
1. Executive-Lifestyles.com – who does not love to have free feature? I offer my time to interview great entrepreneurs here! http://bit.ly/1oldvKa
(I’m sending out such invitation over the 43 social media networks that I have connection with via Hootsuite)
2. Styling website Fiesta-Valentine.com: Found a great post on Facebook sharing a variety of ways of turning your scraf into dresses, clothes, different styles! haha… seems that’s what my members love to see. Gained 820 people views versus a normal 20+ in the past! Okok… Will find more similar interesting post to share and add a Call to Action – Get a Free Styling Magazine here -> http://bit.ly/1n1Dy7C
3. Wedding website: Elegant-Wedding-Ideas.com. People love this lead magnet, but once the FB advertising stops, same for the sign up. How??
Tips and Tools learnt:
1. Interesting Content!
I haven’t had such a great response on my styling page on Facebook for a long time…. It’s time to do a bit more research to get the interesting content for my fans! Trial and Error – does work!

2. Love Hootsuite
As it allows me to compose a message across all the interesting groups that I joined on Linkedin. What a fantastic tool that saves me tons of time!
