Internet Marketing By The Sea

It sure is cool and windy here as I am typing this at the beach =P A very nice way to relax and get ideas to post =)

This whole week has been an exciting week for me. Not only was I busy with my online business but so was my offline business. I guess it fate that makes me so busy now which I am glad as busy = good.

Having said that, I just ended church this morning and I thought why not update my readers some new stuff that I have been doing this whole week while I was at East Coast =P

Lately, I had tons of emails from the USA, Malaysia, Singapore and many other countries all asking me for advice on blogging. It is good to asked questions but I felt most people ask me this one question quite often and I would like to address it here for everyone to read.

The question I got asked the most was “Alvin can blogging make money?” My answer to that question is Yes you can. Provided you are determine to work your way to generate some form of income by taking action.

Having blogging for some time I have determine 3 factors you will need to generate money online

1. Traffic
2. Quality Content
3. Conversion of visitors to buyers

In order for you to master the skill of earning in any sort of Internet marketing methods you have choosen, you must have these three things.

Why Traffic?

If there is no traffic to your website, it is as good as there is no website. People will not know what type of services you provide unless you exposed it to them.

Many people have a fear and think that traffic is hard to get. The true is, if you spend just 1 hour a day or 7 hours a week doing and testing just one internet marketing traffic method I can guarantee you will see some results.

The problem many do not see it is because they did not even bother to try at the first place that is the true sad fact in most cases.

Why Quality Content?

You must understand that the Internet is an Information Highway where every day, every second there will be people looking for information.

It is our job to ensure that we not only provide content but good quality content to create a viral effect. Published on your website, it will help spread the message about the services or products that you can provide to your targeted viewers.

Why Conversion of Visitors to Buyers?

Having quality content and traffic is not good enough, you must be able to convert your visitors to buyers to get the maximum returns from your online marketing efforts.

Focus not more then 3 types of income

There are various ways to sell stuff and earn online, but what I did was I only selected 3 methods to make my money online.

1. Affiliate Marketing
2. Adsense Revenue
3. Online Training

You do not have to follow mine, but what I can say is find your own set of methods that you are comfortable with and stick to it.

What may work for me may totally not work for you. But what you can do is follow a selected mentor you have online and duplicate his success and customized it to your own style.

When you managed to do that you will realize you have just created your own style of online marketing.

Alvin I am a newbie what should I do?

Very simple, start looking around the internet for ideas. Look for the correct niche you are interested the most and create a product or sell other people product to begin with.

Remember, you do not need to be an expert in a particular niche in order for you to claim yourself as an expert. All you need to do is read or buy an online product. Take it and learnt it as if it’s your bible and take action and create results from it. Simple as looking your ABCs =P

Once you have achieve that stage, then you go out and market what you have bought. One mistake that I felt a lot of affiliate marketers are doing is that they blindly promote other people’s affiliate product without any clue even what they are actually promoting.

Without great knowledge about the product, how are you going to answer any questions your customers may have when they have purchased the product from you?

I may not as experience as many Gurus out there, and I may not be as hard working as some Internet Marketers out there. But truly it doesn’t really matter. Why do I say this? One very good reason, what determines their success and the amount of time they spend will not determine your success because you are not them at the first place.

There will be always be people better then in any aspect of what you are good yet, so go on worrying I am not good enough. Just set your goals and go ahead and just do it!

Once your goals are planned, you should learn from people who has already made it there and learnt the pitfall they had and don’t do the same mistake as they have done. Aim to be at least 60% of your success before you proceed on to another goal.

However, a problem I realized many fell into the trap of information overload and had no direction or where they should start which cause me to create my own video guides here.
I guess having the talent to teach is a blessing which I personally really enjoy it. Although I know my English is really poor =P but still overall the quality of the content is still there and I seriously go into every single details that even a beginner that followed my videos were able to create websites on their own.

These are just my 2 cents of things which I got tons of emails asking me about, I hope this post will help some people clear their problems =) If you still have some problems not answered in this post feel free to email me or post your questions in the comments below.
