Internet marketing is indeed slowly picking up in Singapore. And I forsee a wave of Singaporean internet marketers surfacing. And I feel its only natural. No doubt the country is small, but the proportion of the computer literate as well as the overall proficiency in English is high. Hence, there’s no reason why Singaporeans are unable to establish themselves as a powerhouse in this industry mainly dominated by the Westerners.

And now, with Singapore’s most famous internet marketer being featured on the mainstream media, internet marketing should receive the much needed buzz.

For those who are looking at Ewen Chia’s Autopilot Profits, go get it as its really an excellent product. And for people who are genuinely interested in picking up internet marketing but are at a loss as to how to go about starting, consider attending the World Internet Mega Summit. It should give you a clearer picture of what internet marketing is really about and provide you with a precise blueprint on how to start as a internet marketing beginner.

It certainly beats surfing aimlessly in search for internet marketing advice from website owners whom you do not even know. There’s no lack of online money making scams going around and many of those programs which promises people the world will simply disappear after siphoning the money of the innocent.

Hence, it is extremely vital that people receive the knowledge and advice from credible sources. And I cannot stress the importance of this more! Recently, one of my subscribers emailed me to relate his unhappy experiences with several online programs. I mean, you will be amazed by the extent he has been scammed. And it really irks me. As much as I do emphatise with him, this is a result of not going through the proper training. And coupled by the fact that there are indeed unscrupulous website owners, the image of internet marketing is sometimes more tainted than glorified.

But legitimate online business owners will tell you that the Internet can really be used to generate income for any ordinary individual without them having to fork out much capital. Just think about it logically. The Internet enables you to reach out to a much wider global audience and the costs of running a website is extremely minimal. (web hosting with Hostgator costs as little as $6.95 per month) Thus, the potential and amount of leverage one can achieve is immense. Furthermore, with affiliate marketing, one can make a decent income online without owning their own products.

However, we all know that affiliate marketing is not just about displaying your links in as many places as you can think of and hope that people will simply click on your link and buy. Much has to be done to build a list and maintain a relationship with your subscribers. Branding is almost essential in this aspect as you want to stand out from the average marketers in order to be successful.

Thus, it all boils down to getting the basics right. Its impossible to expect substantial amount of profits without investing in the right internet marketing education. Personally, the Derek Gehl’s ‘Insider Secrets To Marketing Your Business On The Internet’ remains one of the best investments I’ve ever made.

 

 

For affiliate marketers, Ewen’s Autopilot Profits would give you the much needed boost.

Nonetheless, he will be speaking at the World Internet Mega Summit taking place on the 26th-29th May. So be sure to grab a ticket!

Oops.. I just realized I blogged two consecutive posts on internet marketing when I just announced that this blog is changing focus. Hee! Sorry.. Anyway my new internet marketing blog ain’t up yet so that’s a valid excuse!

I quote from Rich ‘An opportunity seeker is always looking for their big opportunity to make lots of money from the hot opportunity of the moment. Their only criteria is, ‘Can I make money from this?’ So today it’s Adsense, tomorrow is something else, and yesterday it was some other hot concept already forgotten. Opportunity seekers buy lots of products, and they use only a few of hem, and the ones they do use get abandoned when the next so-called ‘easy’ way to make money comes by.’

Very true indeed. I believe every internet marketer who just started out would be guilty of that, myself included. I mean, new products are springing up everyday, and they seem to get better and better. Or should I say the sales copy seems to get better.

Every business model appears to be more lucrative and thus, the cycle continues. I personally bought some products which I do not even have time to read. But yet, when a new product is launched, I still get tempted.

I’m sure most people would have fallen into that trap.

Fortunately, I’ve managed to break out of it and concentrate on the bigger picture.

Which was why my partner and I decided to sit down and come up with our own ‘7 Ways To Earn Money Online’ guide. Now our intention of this guide is to let complete beginners and people who are skeptical about earning money online be exposed to that possibility and potential.

We aim to instil in people the importance of a passive stream of income and we have detailed exactly how the Internet can help us achieve that.Most importantly, we hope to establish the driving factor in people.

Internet marketing requires a great deal of time and effort. Something which only people with the passion, hunger, and drive should pursue.(PHD)

This reminds me of a quote which a friend of mine shared with me recently. You need a PHD to achieve your MBA.

Huh? Why is that so?

Passion, Hunger, Drive… To achieve Massive Bank Account (MBA)

Haha.. You might think it’s lame.. But if you look around, you will realize that in every industry, it’s often those people who display more of the ‘PHD’ that is placed right on top.

You need the passion, the hunger, to continuously seek ways to improve your productivity and add more value. And that is what drives & motivates people to be different and do what other won’t in order to achieve their dreams & goals.

Sorry to digress from Rich’s ‘Internet Business Manifesto’.

Now back to his eBook. Next he compares an opportunist to a true entrepreneur. ‘An entrepreneur has a clear vision of what they want the business to become. Because they have a vision they can analyze their own strengths, their competitor strengths, the marketplace preferences and devise different strategies for achieving their vision. After reviewing the pros and cons of each strategic alternative they pick the one strategy most certain to successfully achieve their vision.

The entrepreneur knows that their biggest opportunity is always inside their business, following their ideal strategy and not the hot product that everyone is mailing for this week’.

So, do you want to be an opportunist or entrepreneur?

Surely the latter…

It’s time for me to rethink my strategy… Meanwhile, I shall re-read the Internet Business Manifesto and share more thoughts as they unravel..

Here’s a video of Rich Schefren which I felt is really good:

Enjoy!
