Welcome to Ash City

Hello and welcome to Ash City, a personal portfolio site for Ashrufzz. Let me guess, the reason why you came here to is to get to know more about me right? If I were you, I would do the same thing. Let me just brief you a little bit. I am the webmaster for SIMEK Malaysia and I write regularly on my personal blog at Ashrufzz Reality Adventure. I first started blogging 2 years ago and I'm hooked on it ever since.

My Online Journey

I am addicted to the internet ever since I browsed the world wide web using Netscape Navigator way back in 1995. At that time I was following my father to his friend's office who happen to owned a company at that time. Fast forward to 2004, ironically I now work with the company where I had my first online experience.

However, I'm a bit puzzled why the company hasn't grew eventhough it has been more than 20 years it has been in the business. Well, I did my part on putting the company online and now I'm building my own online network of websites with my own team which I've built.

I like to read and understand manual documentation and put it to the test. Because of that, I understand a lot of thing about how website works. I'm still learning as much as I can though.

Making Money While Sleeping

This is a very controversial topic to write. However, I'll write and share with you what I have experienced. I stumbled upon a lot of making money websites and I browsed vigorously for how to make money online. I made a couple of cents before my spirit dies off.

One day, I was browsing through my local newspaper, I saw an ad about a seminar on how to make money online. At that time my friend and I loved to attend free make money seminars and also personal development seminars. So, I brought along a friend of mine to the place where the seminar is held. It's just a small shop selling souvenirs. The seminar was conducted by two chinese guy. So, I listen to them explaining what they did and how they did it. As soon as I heard that they can help getting an account with Clickbank (Clickbank still doesn't accept Malaysian until today) as an affiliate, I immediately signed up for the class.

The reason why I joined the class because it was a small class and secondly, they teach you hand on hand from setting up your account untill how you could actually earn your first dollar. The value of the class outweigh the conventional internet marketing seminar where they charge you higher than what I paid for. So, what happen then was, I enjoyed every moment of waking up in the morning checking my Clickbank account filled with American Dollars.

Today, my account has no money in it because I dried up my advertising money. I'm now working to fill up my bank account again so that I could do what I've done. The lesson I've learned is to be consistent and plan out your business properly.

Who I Am

I live in the capital city Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am a diploma holder in Mechanical Engineering from a well known public university. I just love to figure out how things work.

At the moment, I'm trying to understand how businesses work. I read a lot of marketing and business book. You can check out my resume page.

I'll end this page with this quote:
