Starting next year we will see new portal design on Tune Money’s financial portal. This will be a big step for Tune Money to revamp and bounce back after Maybank Debit card is now viable for internet transaction.Tribal DDB has been appointed to take this important task.

Tribal DDB specialised in interactive marketing and has won many international awards. Hopefully they can create Tune Money as centre of excellent in online financial service company.

“We have a very strong confidence in Tribal DDB as it is an idea agency that is skewed towards technology. We believe with their expertise and knowledge, they will be able to help Tune Money to realise its short and long-term business objectives. As an online-based business, Tune Money will leverage on the technology to reach out to consumers to give them a whole new experience with our prepaid cards and insurance products”, said Tune Money CEO Joyce Lai.

 

This new design will be followed by introducing new products by 2010. This hopefully will increase tune card subscriber and  improve user experience. Currently the existing login and security system are quite messy. User have to remember 3 different password to login to the website. Normal user will face a lot of problems since remembering one password is already a problem. Hopefully Tribal DDB will look into it.

Joyce Lai, who was formerly AirAsia Bhd's regional communications head is a new chief executive officer (CEO) of TUNE Money Sdn Bhd.

According to Tune Money director Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes via Business Times,"She just took over on Wednesday, in line with our vision to have a CEO with a marketing background to drive the company,"

The position had been left vacant for a month, after Tune Money's former CEO Tengku Zafrul Aziz left the company last month.

Fernandes said that Tune Money turned profitable last month, raking in some RM600,000 in net profit and would hit its profit target of RM12 million by year-end.

"We are also in the process of seeking necessary approval to roll out our financial services in Thailand and Indonesia. However, we will maintain it as a single portal," he added.
Tune Money currently offers general insurance products and prepaid Visa cards.

"We have also brought back plans to launch unit trust funds, but we will do it once the market has stabilised," Fernandes said, after a site visit to AirAsia Bhd's new airport, KLIA East in Negri Sembilan.

Also in the pipeline is a new deal with stakeholder CIMB Group, regarding Tune Money's prepaid card, Tune Card, but Fernandes declined to elaborate.

CIMB Structured Investments has a 25 per cent stake in Tune Money.
Fernandes said synergies between the Tune companies were imminent, as Tune Talk Sdn Bhd will provide mobile banking facilities for customers seeking to buy Tune Money products.

Have you ever heard of your friends/colleagues/relatives talk or share about how to start making money on the Internet?

Whatever your response to that maybe, at this point in time while you are reading this article, I would like to assure you that some dummy out there (just like you and me) is making some money at this very moment.

Besides the high-profile Internet marketers whom you read about earning millions of dollars every year, they sound too good to be true and more like a fairy-tale. Well, it's not unusual to feel that way as you are not alone.

However, people often overlook the fact that these successful Internet marketers did not start off being a success story the moment they were born. They started off as ordinary individuals who started off with the intention of starting an online business to provide them with an additional source of income to supplement their expenses.

There were so many occasions which these very people actually wanted to give up on the idea of making money online totally. Why is that so? As you have guessed, they are completely clueless on how to start making money on the Internet and they feel they are going nowhere.

The good news is that the "Never Say Die" attitude and enduring human spirit triumphs! They strive on and kept on trying different things until something worked. And Wala! Things start to change for the better and "WHAM", the rest is history.

You see, anyone (regardless of education level, race or religion) can start making money on the Internet, but not everyone wants to believe that Internet is actually the best tool invented for this purpose.

Your success in making money online is almost always determined by how much you want to take action today and grab this opportunity which maybe a life-changing experience.

So how to start making money on the Internet and what do we need?

Presenting to you the Newbie Formula:

1) An Internet Connection

2) A Laptop/Desktop

3) YOU!

Are you sure that's all required? It must be a joke!

Well, of course that's not all. You still need to have a winner's attitude. You see, whenever I visit Internet marketing forums, I always hear comments similar to the following...

"Hey, I have been trying this out for 2 weeks! How come I am not making any money?"

"Help please! Is Internet marketing a scam? After 2 months, I still did not make any sales! I am going to quit."

Now, let me tell you the truth. Do you know when did I make my first sale? Well, I did not remember wrongly, it was my 16th month in Internet marketing. Thank goodness! I did not give up. If not, I will never be able to taste my first victory.

If you are really serious about making money on the Internet, ask yourself this question, "Do you have the winner mindset?"

If your answer is yes, "WELCOME".
