Making A Living Off The Internet From The Rainforest of Borneo
August 1, 2008 by Gaman
I had been trying to come up with a nice tagline for Sabahan.com that describes what this blog is all about.
My previous tagline was
About Computers, Blogging, Making Money Online, Marketing and Interesting Stuff
After launching Sabahan.com v2.0, I changed the tagline to
Internet marketing, blogging and everything in between…
While both taglines pretty much sums up what I do and write in this blog, it lacks the originality that I wish to convey that makes this blog stand out from other blogging and marketing blogs.
Anyone, anywhere in the world could have written this blog but not many people from Sabah in Malaysia (formerly known as North Borneo) blog about their experience making a living off the Internet while literally doing it from the rainforest of Borneo.
Then it occurred to me, since I do live in a little town where the rainforest is practically in my backyard, why didn’t I just use that in my tagline? With that in mind, I came up with this new tagline:
making a living off the Internet from the rainforest of Borneo
What do you think?
Here’s a picture of the small town where I live. This picture was taken by a friend of mine. I hope he’s OK with me putting it here without asking for his permission first. Sorry bro, can’t help but showcase your beautiful picture here.
I guess the next thing I should consider doing is to integrate motives of the local culture in the design of this blog. OK one step at a time shall we 
How about on similar to what you already had:
Internet marketing, blogging and all the dollars in between….
Why did you think so?
I dunno, I just thought it was catch. I like your new Borneo tagline. I thin kit gets the point across that you can make money on the internet no matter what, no matter where you are.
OK. Thanks for the suggestion
making a living off the Internet from the rainforest of Borneo
That’s a catchy tagline. The change to incorporate motives of local cultures is a plus!
Thanks. Although I might change the tagline again if I come up with a better one later.
How’s the internet connection in Taman Negara kinabalu? I think its too hard to reach excellent channel.
I’ve never tried the connection there.
NGAM !! at least this year, you can talk more about e-nature and e-ecotourism, i think…
nice view from tambunan pic. Living in pendalaman can make you proud sometimes
The tag line may look long - “Making A Living Off The Internet From The Rainforest of Borneo”, but it is descriptive and give first time visitor the right perception.
Well done. Keep it up.
ehm, if you want to live like that. Just go ahead as long as you happy.
I didn’t choose that life, it chooses me
oh. it choose you. Waa.
How it can happen???
nice tag line i think… and nice picture also
I think it’s cool and catchy!
Bro, I LoooooooooooooooooooovE!! the tag line!!
moreover I love to do what you are doing… I need to learn a lots from you and around though. My last attempt was not very successful, I think becoz we were doing it based on scratches here and there and at the bottom it was ‘vague’.
P/S:no prob. with the photo bro. I love to scale hills and fields in our countryside area whenever I’m home. Too bad my only cybershot has been broken recently. /sigh.
