I have been coaching people since Jan 2007 onwards and I have vast amount of experiences handling students when I conduct classes. I thought it would be great to share with you some of my real experiences on conducting training if you are considering giving some form of trainings services.

No.1 Myth In Training - Not Every Student Will Be Successful & Willing To Work

It’s a real sad fact, that out of every 100 students that you coach regardless what you teach only 1 to 2% of them will be willing to do the work. That is the reason at most times, you do not see students are all successful in courses. The problem most times do not lies on the trainer but most times is the student.

So just a word of caution do not expect your students to work all that hard for their own success even thought you put all the hard work to support them. The success rate for any course is  normally only 1%.

People Take Your Services For Granted If You Are Too Nice

It’s really a weird reality when at most times, trainers who do not give real good training and followups always tend to get more attention compared to trainers who are really concern for students.

Here’s what happen during my trainings, I would normally go the extra mile to conduct private one on one coaching with students out of my spare time. But what I realized later on, most students will take for granted the service I provide which I do not charge at all and worst case some of them even got the guts to ask for refund even thought they know themselves they did not do anything

So the trick here is try not to be too nice to your customers, they may take your services for granted. One way to make them value your time, always explain to them that this private session actually cost $XXX.

Customers Are Hard To Please, Especially Those That Refuse To Do Anything But Just Complain

In my experience, I have suffered two cases of this and I can tell you it really break me to tears that I spend so much time preparing quality materials but people just simply take it for granted.

People who refused to do anything are the most scary students of all. For this breed of people, it always advisable to ensure they sign documents to ensure they have seen all the documents and trainings needed or they will claimed they did not go but actually they did ( yes it happens and they will later ask for refunds but actually they are just pretending to find a reason for refund ).

Things I Do To Solve This Problems

First thing I would do is make it very CLEAR to your students what they have done and what they should do to get the result they want. Most often, students will not realized they did nothing or were plain lazy to do it and blame it all on the trainer.

Once they realized the problem, you will need to advise them to TAKE ACTION which is important. I used to spoon feed my students a lot to a point, they totally did not want to do anything at all (it’s quite frastrating at times)

Conducting Training Requires Lots Of Patience

Regardless how newbie a student can be, always learn to be patience with them and do not bare anger on them. Just remember a happy customer for you means more referrals for you

I hope this article will at least give you some heads up on how it really feels to conduct trainings. To be frank, I was just pissed off today with one of student and just wanted to write this article out hehe

Videos are more than just the ‘in thing’. Anyone who use elements of video products and video marketing in their business often boost their monthly income.

Did You Know That:

After 2 weeks, the average person remembers 50% of what he hears and see, compared to 10% from just reading?

Number of online videos viewed in the U.S. alone jumps 13% in March 2008 to a whopping 11.5 Billion! However the problem is that creating video products to this day is done by only a fraction of Internet Marketers.

Understandably, it takes a lot of expensive software and hardware to begin with. And there’s also the steep
learning curve to overcome. You can try outsourcing video creation, but be prepared to fork out $1000s upfront!

Starting today, it doesn’t have to be that way anymore. My friends, Edmund Loh and Stephen Luc have created 8 brand new, high quality video series - each targeted at a unique red hot market.

They (and some of their customers) have had immense success selling videos, and now they’re letting you in
as well. The BEST part? You can get the Private Label Rights to all of them! (Which means you are free to do anything with it!)

I was looking through my support tickets and I too also sell video materials on blogging but I learn something new from that experience selling video tutorials. Many gurus out there would teach you that giving videos to your customers is a good thing but let you give you some heads up what you might not know or Gurus dont want you to know

About Video Marketing

Video marketing is simply, taking a screen capturing software and start recording yourself over the computer and upload them online to let your readers view them.

It is actually fairly simple to do them but what I realized it’s really hard to pass your message across to someone especially if you are an Asian.

Your Customers From The USA or UK Will Experience Problems

Because of my special english and the way I speak it right here in Singapore, you will realized when you start selling your own video materials using your voice they will find it really hard to understand what you are trying to say.

Mainly I would say because we Asians in general like to speak pretty fast, so people from America will find it hard to understand us.

You Will Be Suprised Even An Amercian Voice Recorded Video Has Problems

If you do not have a nice and clear voice tone, I do not recommend you do any video recording of your own and start selling those videos. You will be suprised even Amercians also find them hard to understand and all that will leaded to an unhappy customer.

So How Do You Solve This Problem?

Well I just got to learn about this, instead of selling videos you want to provide lots of text to complicment your video. Making it more like a text based guide then a video guide.

Outsource The Voice Recording

Anyway to solve the problem is by outsourcing it to professionals who charge pretty high to do voice overs for your videos.

So the next time, you consider creating a video of your own do remember to take my advice above I just wished someone would have told me this earlier

I got an email recently from Michael Rasmussen and I even bought one of his earlier products called EmailPromoExposed and I would say it’s a great product because it teaches you step-by-step about how to write powerful emails that sells.

Michael just recently launched a new series of videos in Clickbank called “GetMoreBuyers” and it’s now the No.1 product in Clickbank so it’s no due a great program.

If you have ever wondered how online marketers can send an email and see $2,500 or $5,000 or even $25,000 or more flow right into their bank account?

It probably seems like magic…or a scam. But let me tell you, it’s neither one. In fact, it’s pretty easy once you have the business tool these big-profit marketers have. And Michael Rasmussen’s new “Get More Buyers” video course shows you how to get it.

The secret weapon these marketers have is a mailing list absolutely stuffed with buyers. What’s great about Michael’s course is that he hands you 10 practical strategies for attracting eager buyers. I have personally went through them and what I can say these stuff really works because I done it myself

Actually, he’s showing you the way he built his own list, which is pretty much legendary as a JV profit powerhouse.

About Get More Buyers Video Course

I’ve reviewed the course myself, and I can say a few things with confidence…

First, the quality of the course is excellent. This was obviously professionally done. The audio is near studio quality, and the presentation he walks through makes the concepts completely clear. Michael’s previous products were clearly made by somebody who KNOWS how to make a great product, and this one continues the tradition.

He starts with a brief introduction to the common list-building mistakes people make when they’re just starting out online. This certainly explained some of my own struggles—it’s not just “fluff” material.

For example, he tells you how to create your own profit-pulling marketing “funnel”, even if you’re starting from scratch. He also tells you the root cause of the two major challenges most people face…but then he goes one better. He tells you specifically how to crush those challenges.

He walks through 10 strategies for stuffing your list full of buyers. This is amazing material. Here’s just a sample of what he covers:

* The “magic” price that can get you buyers almost immediately if you’re selling your own product

* How to increase the profit you make on each sale by 50% of more, almost immediately, and with hardly any
effort (it’s all about buyer psychology)

* How to “steal” buyers from other marketers, and actually have them thank you for it!

List-building books and courses are a dime a dozen, but Michael’s course is one of the best I’ve ever seen. There’s no tired old advice that doesn’t work today. He’s giving you real strategies that he uses himself, and that helped him create a list that routinely brings in five and six figures when he sends an email.

If you want results like that for yourself (and who DOESN’T, right?) then you check out Michael’s “Get More Buyers” course. Your business profits will be very happy you did!

Here’s the URL where you can check out the course for yourself:

There are also free videos been given away at this special link here

My Honest Opinion

I have seen more video tutorials online and nothing comes close to the quality of Michael’s video. They are crystal clear and easy to understand. Infact most of my email marketing skills were all learnt from Michael in his first product.

If you are looking at getting more wealth for your blogging business and want to get more buyers in your list. The “Get More Buyers” Video course is a must have for anyone who wants to make more money online.

The product maybe a bit expensive for some but for US$77 you will getting 10 videos tutorials which you teach you step-by-step how to build a profitable buyer list enough thought you have no list at moment.

In video 2, as I went thought he actually shows you real steps what to do to generate a buyer’s list almost right away. Real powerful stuff. I think that is why it’s the No.1 product on Clickbank now

If you are not convenience, at least head on to this link now to catch the free video he is giving away If you are interested to get the video you may click on this link here.

This was actually asked by Ben Pei in one of my previous post where he asked “how do you gain credibility if you are just starting out?” So I thought I would like to share with you some easy tips on how to interest your credibility.

Regardless if you have a website, blog or thinking of creating a product. Credibility is the most important factor in any form of business. That is because people buy people not products. So your image to people in the public is really important.

I started off as a no one 2 years ago and today I have build much credibility from many experts stating that I am an expert in blogging so in this article I am going to teach you how you can too position yourself as an expert even though you think you do not have any skills.

Rule No.1 - Find A Niche You Want To Be Expert In

Before you start off getting credibility for yourself, you first need to choose a niche that you like to be specialized in. The no.1 problem here is, most people cannot decide what they can be an expert with. My advice to you is just simply choose something you like the most and take that as your expert niche.

Next, Start Claiming You Are An Expert In The Niche

Alright, now that you have select what you want to be an expert in. It’s time to tell everyone you know you are an expert in that niche. The reason you want to do that is NO ONE will point out to you and say you are expert in something unless you start to claim it yourself.

You must be confident in saying that you are the expert and quote some tips and results to proof them that you are the expert.

Getting Start To Be An Expert By Posting Articles On Article Directories

Here’s a great tip to get you started to position yourself as an expert. Start by going to article directories and post articles in there. For some article directories once you have hit a amount of article they would even give you an expert status. For example, EzineArticles would give authors an expert status once they have written 10 articles.

So next time when people ask you, who says you are an expert in that niche. You can just simply show them EzineArticles with your expert status

Get More Credibility By Asking You Friends To Endorse Your Work

Because no one will know you the most expert your closest friends. So what you can do in your about me page in your website or blog is to ask your friends post some testimonials or tips you have taught your friends about in that niche.

I know this may sound evil, you can even create the testimonial in advance for your friend and all you need to do is ask him for permission to put his name

Buy Reviews From Credible People

I did once before when I first start and what I did was I paid for a review done by popular bloggers around the blogsphere. After they have written the review, I would use that review as part of my testimonials for my products or website

I would say these tips that I shared are really practice by me and they really work and it’s important to have credibility as you can charge more once you position yourself good enough

I was meeting up with one of my friend today and he was mentioning to me and asking for my help on how to actually start a successful online business.

He was mentioning to me that he was thinking of promoting someone’s else product as an affiliate first. But actually that is what is taught by all the Gurus out there. What I recommended to him instead was actually to ask my friend to create his own product.

Here Are Various Reasons Why You Should Have Your Own Product:

1. You can brand yourself as an expert ( Really Important )
2. You can get people to promote you, instead of you promoting people
3. You can get your affiliates promoting you to generate a big list for you
4. Once you have successful sold lots of copies online, you can conduct trainings

Alvin What If I Want To Go The Simple Path And Just Be An Affiliate?

If you are going to do that, I would highly recommend you create a squeeze page first to capture their first name and email first before you start promoting someone else product.

For example, let’s say you are promoting a Forex product. Chances are most of the leads you gather would be interested in Forex but they may not like the offer that you were first promoting at first.

Therefore, with the leads you have collected already. You can use the leads that you have collected to promote the Forex product and promote other related Forex products.

If you think about it, it’s almost like shopping in real life. Let’s say you are interested in buying a shoe. There are many brands to choose from, Nike, Adidas, Reebok and much more. However, you only decided to promote Nike shoe as your product. Will everyone only love Nike? Well if you have collected the leads, you can still use them to promote other brands of shoes. I hope this example give you a clearer understanding of what I am trying to explain

So do think very carefully next time, before you promote a product. Always remember to create a squeeze page before you promote a product.
