Affiliate Marketing Secrets

IT IS AMAZING. THIS INTERNET LIST ROOMS AT $30 AND UP FOR THE NITE WHEN IN FACT BEACH FRONT ROOMS ARE EASY TO FIND FOR P500 TO P1000 PER NITE. THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. EVEN ON BORACAY IN STATION THREE. IF A LAND OWNER MAKES P500 PER ROOM PER NITE THAT IS BIG MONEY HERE. MOST WORKERS ARE PAID P200 PER DAY FOR AN 8 OR 10 HR. SHIFT. ……. IF THE PICTURE OF THE BEACH HAS NO PEOPLE IN THE PHOTO,IT IS A DULL RESORT. THE TWO BEST RESORTS IN THE PHILIPPINES IS OF COURSE BORACAY WHERE THERE IS THOUSANDS OF TOURIST YEAR AROUND. I HAVE BEEN THERE THREE TIME THIS YEAR 2012. THE BEACH IS NOT CROWDED SINCE IT IS SO LARGE. THE NITE LIFE IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT. THE PATH ALONG THE BEACH HAS MANY RESTAURANTS AND BARS WITH SMILING FACES.,,,,,,, THEN THERE IS PORTA GALERA. GO SOUTH FROM MANILA TO THE BANTAGAS PIERS, BUS WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO THE PIER. TAKE ONE HOUR BOAT RIDE TO MINDORO ISLAND AND BANTANGAS. THERE ARE TWO PLACES THAT ARE POPULAR, WHITE BEACH OR THE FABULOUS “SA BANG.”….. WHITE BEACH HAS A BEAUTIFUL SMALL BEACH SAY 600 YARDS LONG. WATER GETS DEEP QUICKLY OFF THE BEACH. THAT IS THE DOWN SIDE. THERE ARE MANY RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS BUT THE NITE LIFE HAS ONLY ONE BAR WITH MANY GAY DANCERS PERFORMING THEIR EVENING DANCE ROUTINE. ….. NO AT SA BANG YOU HAVE MANY DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS AND BARS, MANY OPEN ALL NITE. THERE ARE NO STREET IN SA BANG, JUST WALKING PATHS EXCEPT FOR THE ONE INCOMING STREET. YOU MUST WALK EVERYWHERE YOU GO BUT THE WALK IS SHORT. THERE ARE THREE FLOATING BAR IN THE HORSE SHOE COVE. A DINGY WILL TAKE YOU TO AND FROM OR YOU CAN SWIM THE SHORT DISTANCE OUT TO THE DAY TIME FUN. IF YOU ARE A BACHELOR SA BANG IS THE PLACE FOR YOU TO VISIT. “YOU WILL LOVE THIS PLACE’ WITH OUT SAYING ANYMORE. IT IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN THE PHILIPPINES. SA BANG HAS MANY ROOM FOR RENT FOR LESS THAN P1000.
IF YOU COME TO THE PHILIPPINES AND YOU WANT A MANICURE, PEDICURE OR MASSAGE SO PAY HIGH PRICES. IN THE MARKET PLACE IN ANY VILLAGE THE STANDARD PRICE OF MANICURE/PEDICURE IS P50/50 FOR A TOTAL OF P100. A MASSAGE IN ANY VILLAGE IN THE PHILIPPINES IS P150/P200. REMEMBER MOST WORKERS IN THE PHILIPPINES EARN P200 PER DAY. ON BORACAY AND AT SA BANG THE LADIES WILL TRY AND OVER CHARGE YOU ON THESE TWO ITEMS. DON’T PAY IT. ON BORACAY THEY WANT P350 PER ONE HOUR MASSAGE. RATHER THAN LOWER THEIR PRICE AND EARN PESOS THEY WILL KEEP THEIR PRICE HIGH AND SIT ALL DAY AND EARN NOTHING. I HAVE SEEN IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES. I HAVE TO LAUGH AT THIS. THEY CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT. THE PEDICURE AND MANICURE IS THE SAME. BUT THESE LADIES SEEM TO HAVE BETTER BUSINESS MINDS. THEY WILL LOWER THEIR PRICE AND PERFORM THE WORK AT MUCH CHEAPER PRICE THAN THE ORIGINAL THEY STATED TO YOU. THEY KEEP WORKING……
BE WISE, IF YOU ARE A FOREIGNER YOU WILL BE OVER CHARGED BY MOST VENDOR IF YOU LET THEM. TAXI CABS ARE THE WORST IN MANILA. THEY DON’T WANT TO TURN ON THE METER AND OFFER A VERY HIGH FIXED PRICE. DON’T FALL FOR THIS TRICK. TELL THEM TURN ON THE METER OR GET ANOTHER TAXI. SIMPLE PUT IF THE COMMON FILIPINO EARNS P400 PER DAY THEY ARE EARNING WELL BY THE FILIPINO STANDARD. I HOPE I HAVE HELPED YOU WITH YOUR TRAVEL DECISION. ANOTHER GREAT PLACE TO VISIT IS ANGELOUS CITY. NO BEACH BUT THE NITE LIFE IS GREAT. OVER 60 CLUBS IN THE SMALL AREA. MANY MOTEL/HOTELS FOR P1000 OR LESS AVAILABLE. AIR FARE IS CHEAP IN THE PHILIPPINES. LAST WEEK MY DAUGHTER AND I FLEW FROM MANILA TO ****** ORIENTAL FOR ONLY P4,130 FOR BOTH OF US. IT IS A ONE HR. FLIGHT. SHIP ARE EVEN CHEAPER AND BUSES ARE VERY CHEAP. IF YOU RIDE A NON AIR-CONDITION BUS THE SUSPENSION IS VERY BAD. BUT IF YOU RIDE AN AIR-CONDITIONED BUS THE SUSPENSION IS VERY GOOD. SMOOTH RIDE, YOU CAN READ AND WATCH MOVIE ON YOUR NOTEBOOK. ONE MORE THINK ALL OVER THE PHILIPPINES A PERSON CAN EAT A GOOD MEAL FOR JUST P75. DO YOU THINK THE LOCALS PAY P150 TO P350 FOR A MEAL. NO WAY. FIND THE EATING PLACE FOR THE LOCALS. I DO AND I PAY P120 PER MEAL FOR TWO PEOPLE, RICE, FRIED CHICKEN, EGGS, OR RICE PORK ADOBO, BELIEVE ME IT IS EXTREMELY CHEAP TO EAT HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES. I COULD EASILY EAT THREE MEALS A DAY AT LOCAL RESTAURANTS 30 DAYS OF EVERY MONTH. BEER ON BORACAY IS ABOUT P40 TO P70 PER BOTTLE. IN A STORE BEER IS CHEAPER. IT IS ONLY P30-P40 PER BOTTLE. THE CHEAPEST BEER IN PHILIPPINE IS BEER NA BEER. YOU CAN BUY A 12OZ BOTTLE OF THAT FOR P18 OR A LITER OF THAT FOR P35. ANY OTHER BOTTLE OF BEER, 12OZ IS ABOUT P30 AT A VILLAGE STORE. SO BEWARE! ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF, WHAT DO THE LOCALS PAY WHO ONLY EARN P200 PER DAY AND THEY WORK SIX DAYS A WEEK.
THE FACT IS MOST PHILIPPINE TOURIST SAVE ANNUALLY FOR ONE VACATION. THEY DON’T CARE IF THEY ARE OVER CHARGED, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SAVE FOR ONE YEAR FOR THIS “ONCE IN A YEAR” VACATION.

Here is the story..
I was working for this nameless company for about 3 years I would say, I started working as data entry, just basically inputting information into a program. I held that temporary position for about 6 months, after that I was put into the company as a full time employee and joined a newly created Marketing Team.
I worked in that team for about a year and a half maybe? After that, I was doing half my time in marketing and the other half I was being trained as an estimator. Person who would receive the requests for material and then add the earnings, taxes freight and stuff like that.
Anyways, I was really fed up with that company I was promised raises for the longest time, I helped develop a lot of new strategies and implement new tactics, etc.. This year, 2012, I started fresh, first day I just quit, didn’t even call show up or give a two weeks notice, I figured it wasn’t fair for me to have to give a formal notice after I had been treated the way I was treated and have to train somebody else with all the stuff that took me vital time to learn.
Anyways, time after that, months probably around april or something, I can’t really remember, a friend of mine approaches me. Somebody who does the same thing as my ex employer. He asks me if I could send some requests for pricing to some distributors, it happened that one of the distributors I contacted via EMAIL, let my ex employer know. Actually forwarded the email, mind me..
In no way was I pretending to work with nameless company, actually they didn’t even know me, the way it happened was like this. I asked for material from them, the manufacturing company. The manufacturing company was lazy and contacted one of their distributors and asked them, “hey there is this guy near you who needs this material. Wana take care of him?” So that is how my ex employer found out that I had send an email to them.
Just for details, I never at any time signed any form of confidentiality agreement or anything by that sort. Just recently first days of june I received a letter, a Cease and Desist letter from some law firm claiming that I knew internal secrets from my ex employer and I was using that to harm their company by being in competition to them. In the form it claims that I am breaking something mentioned not by writing but by logic in the employee handbook (which is funny because we never had one, never ever. Actually the HR for the company was hired at the same time I was hired, a week prior to me.. Before that the company didn’t even have an HR and she was creating the handbook barely like a year ago, something that was never finished and I never received anything).
The letter gives me 30 days to respond or else legal action would be filed and I could be liable for expenses. My quesiton is this… Is that possible? Would they have enough grounds for anything like that to be held up in court? I mean I never signed anything, I guess you could say I did know internal information from the company, but it is stuff I never took from them nor did I ever use it against them. The company I contacted I found through google, it just turned out it was a manufacturer that provided my ex employee with products.
What would be my best step? I really need some advice guys. I have stopped contact with my friend who had the other company completely, stopped everything i was doing (which was only really asking for prices, no purchase was made, nor did I contact any clients what so ever) I do know that in Texas it is illegal to contact your ex employers CLIENTS, which was not done in this case, all I did was contact a MANUFACTURER for PRICING, that is it!
Thanks guys, I am in need of some serious guidance, I already dragged it out up to right now, I have around 10 days before the 30 days it said on the letter are completed.
