Re: What I’ve Learn About Internet Marketing

I just got back from watching Captain America: The First Avenger. Right now, I’m so looking forward to watch The Avengers movie!

Okay, BACK to internet marketing. I’ve realized that I’ve been in the internet marketing niche for almost a decade now… that’s 10 years straight. So today, I would like to take the time to share with you some short lessons I’ve learn about this business. And no, I’m not going to talk about the strategies I’ve learn that are critical for your business – build a list, create your own product, master the skill of getting traffic, etc. These are no brainers, you should already know them.

So here some lessons I can think of…

Keep Good People - Along the way, you’re going to know a lot of people in this business. And when I mean “people”, I’m referring to *anyone* – your students, customers, JV partners, outsource guys, etc.

If you train 10 people to achieve internet marketing success, maybe only 1-2 of them will come back to you to say, “thank you”.

You can have 10 JV partners but most of them will not be “reliable” – they’ll be nice with you when they need your help to promote their stuff or something. But 1-2 of them will ALWAYS be there for you, your trusted JV partners.

In the beginning, many outsource workers would do anything to get jobs from you and when they’re ‘successful’, they’ll forget who was the person who gave them their first few outsource projects to start their freelance businesses. At the same time, there will be a few of them who will always remember you and will make time to take up your jobs even if they’ll make less money.

When you found these small group of good people, you should do your best to strengthen your relationship with them. They are good people.

You Got to Change and Adapt – If you have been around, you would have noticed that Internet Marketing has ‘evolved’ a lot since the early days. Yeah, the PRINCIPLES of internet marketing are still the same (they’ll always be) but the demand from the market and prospects have changed drastically and will continue to change.

What do I mean by change? From your website design to how you do deals. From product pricing to connecting with your customers. *EVERYTHING* dude.

Earn Less But Makes More – There are just way too many opportunities on the internet for you to tap. You would make more money by working with partners or hiring other talents. Although you’ll earn less from each opportunity (since you’re ‘sharing’ your profit) but ultimately, you’ll make more because you will have more vehicles going on for you.

I mean, wake up. Affiliate marketing ALONE would probably have 20 business models you can pick. What about making money from social media, creating and selling your own products, product drop-shipping and so on? Are you going to leave out all of the opportunities? I hope not.

There Will Always Be Prospects - In my opinion, Internet Marketing niche will never “dry out”. No matter how much the market is being hammered with offers (including hype up s*^t stuff), there will always be customers. If this is not true, you wouldn’t see so many new Clickbank products continue to be released into this market and generated 6, 7 figures in sales. At the same time, there will always be the newbies market to be served. So don’t worry too much about competitors, the market is ENOUGH for everyone.

Be Careful of Lies - I’m not sure whether you’ve seen these kinds of messages before…

Marketer claims to ‘retire’ and come back again after few months with bigger promotions.

Marketer claims to make huge incomes with Clickbank and display all kinds of income screenshots – to the extend, sometimes, it even insulted our intelligence.

Marketers claim that the *latest* product being promoted is the best product but apparently, that marketer said too the same for last week’s product.

Marketer claims that Law of Attraction is the reason why he’s hugely successful with internet marketing and incidentally, he has a Law of Attraction course to ffer. Nah, this didn’t happen – I just make it up.

Keep in mind that the lies are not just for the prospects – this also include empty promises from JV partners for reciprocal promotion or paying out commission. One piece of advice… be smart when you’re dealing with “partners”.

I guess these are 5 of them that I can think of right now, can’t think much, I’ve just got back from the movie. Maybe I’ll share more in the upcoming Sunday Emails.

Free to leave your comment below (I read all of them personally) if you like what you read or find value in it.

You “Chan” Do It!

Re: From Google and About Your Internet Success In 2010

admin — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:19:11 +0000

While many marketers were trying to find out the magic pill to get ranked in Google.com, I was just taking my own sweet time optimizing my websites THE WAY Google want.

Download my secret source book (written by Google) by clicking here

This is what it says on the first page:

“Welcome to Google’s Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide. This document first began as an effort to help teams within Google, but we thought it’d be just as useful to webmasters that are new to the topic of search engine optimization and wish to improve their sites’ interaction with both users and search engines. Although this guide won’t tell you any secrets that’ll automatically rank your site first for queries in Google (sorry!), following the best practices outlined below will make it easier for search engines to both crawl and index your content.”

That’s my secret for 2009 to top ranking in Google.com. Will the stuff and requirements stay the same for 2010? I don’t know but I’m sure the fundamentals are still the same.

Let me share with you a few things before we jump to 2010 excitedly:

There are no secret to get ranked in Google.com. Do what they want and they’ll ‘reward’ you. If you’ve done what you’re supposed to do and you still did not get what you want, the answer is simple - they probably think that you’re still not relevant enough. Then you can decide if you still wish to pursue (but I’ll normally quit) or change your plan to optimize for other keywords.

THAT’S IT. I still can’t understand why there are courses sold for thousands of dollars to teach SEO because there’s really nothing much to be taught. Heck, I just give you the BEST GUIDEBOOK for getting rank in Google.com since it’s straight from the horse’s mouth and I think that resource is more relevant than any SEO ebooks you can find in Clickbank.com.

Isn’t internet marketing and making money online the same too?

We try to find that magic formula or a magic button to press - just like the secret to getting rank in Google.com but we end up frustrated. Why? Because the guys selling the shovels are the ones making the big bucks, since most of them don’t even use their own shovels.

The truth is, you just need to know real marketing concepts and apply them - find a market, create value, present a great offer, sales funnel and all of that good stuff.

Do I have a magic formula or button? Today, yes, I have. I can press a button and make money instantly – that’s call a ‘mailing list’. My magic formula to sell online? I’ll just email some JV partners to promote my product.

My point is this - the magic button will ‘automatically’ appears in your life if you just spend the time to follow what are already proven. Isn’t that a relief? (smile)

Find a system that is proven to work (meaning, the guy teaching you should be doing what he’s teaching you) and just focus just on it.

Should you try to do many things at once? Yeah, if you can manage it. I mean, focus doesn’t means that you can’t do anything else anymore – there’s no rigid rule to that. It simply means knowing what you want and utilizing all of the resources you have to get that.

I’ll be opening 10 spots for our coaching program in 2010. If you want to work with us at personal level, fill-in your quick application now at www.rps2coaching.com. The coaching program is not cheap but it’ll worth your investment because this can be your ultimate ticke to internet success, starting from 2010 onwards.

Wishing you a fantastic New Year in 2010!

Warm regards,

Patric Chan
