Why blog?

WWW.MARKET-EAGLES.COM comes along with a blog feature. However, if you look at the menu of the website, you will notice that the blog is not visible. This is set on purpose so that the blog posts do not grab the attention of any visitor to the website.

For your organisation's events, it is good to create a blog and here are the reasons:

(a) If photographs or videos are viralled out, it will take up a lot of space on the mobile phone, both yours and that of the recipients. It is also time consuming having to delete the videos and images on each chat. And once deleted, the recipient will not be able to view the image whereas a link can be deleted by the sender, yet it will not be erased from the recipient's chat.

(b) In case of any mistake, corrections can always be on the blog. Or if the event is cancelled, or postponed, it can be announced effectively to everyone who received the post earlier.

You won't have to send out again to everyone. The problem arises when the post have been viralled by a number of other people and you won't have any control over the content.

(c) You can also post the video recording once the online session on Zoom or other platforms is done. You only need to send one blogpost URL to everyone, and they will not disturb you anymore to ask for the video. To video the recording, they only need to click on the same link where the recording now replaces the date/time of the session. For the records, you may want to retain the date and time when the online session was conducted. (d) Besides the blog post that people will receive, they may click on other pages of the website. Curiousity would almost immediately prompt them to click on other things on the menu. This is what we want them to do -- to find out more about our business or activities. For example, when you receive this blogpost, and you notice there is a menu, won't you want to find out more what we do?

(e) You are driving traffic to your website. What is the point of setting up a website unless it is discovered by more people?

(f) You can also see how many people have viewed your blog post.

Let us think of the disabled people in our midst this Chinese New Year

At every festive season, there is always short video clips produced by big corporations with the budget they have for their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Instead of the usual "Happy Chinese New Year" and lots of prosperity messages, one of these short videos carries with it a message from the heart of one deaf person to the hearts of all who watch it.

o lolooooooo lol oooooo

The video clip I am referring to is oooo produced by Maybank that makes us think about the disabled community in our midst. Do watch it, and see how a disabled person feels about the festive season. Spare a thought for them this New Year!

Meanwhile, here is our usual greeting,

From all of us

Seeking Partnership

By Stephen Ng

IN 2008, I decided to start a small business as a media consultant because I wanted to embark into writing more books.

So far, I have been able to author over 17 books for both the commercial sector as well as friends who commissioned me to write their books.

I believe God has given me the gift as a writer and I believe I have at least another ten productive years aghead.

Over the past 30 years, since I started writing for New Straits Times and Malay Mail, I realise that God was putting me through the school of journalism.

There are so many other books which are relevant to the local context that I would like to write and publish, but due to a lack of budget, this has not been possible.

For example, there are many local issues in the churches that need to be addressed, and I am willing to work on them if there are business enterpreneurs willing to commission me to write these books.

Family Commitments

This is because when God gave me the passion to write, I also have to take care of my bread and butter as I have two growing up teenagers who will be entering university soon. I need to make sure that we have enough to provide for their education.

If there are Christian businessmen who are willing to partner and commission me to write books full time, or provide me the opportunities to serve on a retainer basis as a media or marketing consultant, I would be able to spend more time focusing on writing more books.

You feel something needs to be done to reach out the unsaved, but you do not have the gift of communication, or the time to write, perhaps, you can commission me to write for you.

One book which I am currently planning to work on is a compilation of local testimonies by people of different age groups. This is commissioned by an ordinary sister-in-Christ who is willing to fund the project so that I can complete it. The book will be available free via PDF so that it can be viralled around.

Let me know if you are interested to work on any worthwhile projects and I would be more than happy to work on them.
