Cool…

The problem is that Internet Marketing is not my niche. (Yet, anyway.) I am working on doing another niche, which I would not like to reveal just yet. As I don’t have any concrete results yet, I don’t feel I have any credibility in Internet Marketing or blogging for an income yet.

However, I constantly meet with friends who ask me what I am doing, and I always find myself unable to explain fully.

So here I have two free ebooks to share. This is especially for the two friends of mine whom I spoke with last night. These are for you.

1. The first is by my mentor, Ewen Chia, also known as the “World’s #1 Super Affiliate”

Sign up here for his free ebook and newsletter, –> www.autopilotprofits.com <-- which covers the absolute basics on marketing online.

2. The second is by my friend, Alvin Phang, who’s a professional blogger. He shares 1 leaked chapter from his ebook on Traffic Generation Secrets using a Blog. This is more advanced, so do read Ewen Chia’s book first for the basics

Like I mentioned, I am not an expert yet, and this is not my niche. I am, however, doing as these two guys say. Right now I would concentrate on getting the results, and talk less, do more.

So no updates, until I get results!

Have I faced a case of inaction after the seminar? Not taking action after all the hype?

In a way, yes. But in a way, no.  I am at a cross junction of my life right now. Making some BIG decisions that has a lot of potential. So I have been online, but just not really focused on affiliate marketing right now. Since this is a blog about affiliate marketing, it is empty! (To find out what exactly is happening, check my personal blog )
But I have actually done a couple of things so far.

I have found a range of products to work on. Found the topic, found 2 products. Done up a squeeze page. Intended to start an adwords campaign, but stopping due to a lack of budget.

Now I might be changing strategies. So do stay tuned.

After so many speakers presented and made moderate sales on their programs and their products. The absolute MASTER went up and captured ALL!

I went into the seminar with the mindset that I will not get anything. I will not spend any more money until I have mastered whatever basics I learnt from the event. I thought I was already very seasoned with the sales process on stage. Set you up. Get you to keep raising hands in agreement? Giving you a limited time offer? Everyone used this.

10 DVDs plus extra software plus bonus interview DVDs plus bonus one to one coaching? I don’t care.
30 days to 30K program bonus this and that? I don’t want that.

But Stephen Pierce stood up on stage, and really did it. He got me to be inspired to take action. The cost of the program?

USD 10K…

oh… you didn’t get that? USD10,000. And get this… I really wanted it!

I will not explain why. But I will tell you he is good, and his offer is REALLY compelling.

Sigh… even right now, I am still wondering if I should have taken that offer…

Any way, I will be figuring out videograpy, video editing and video producing, and I will produce a product for Internet Marketers. But either way, I am enjoying this, so I will probably produce more.

Please give me a review, write some comments, anything! Please watch!

The wonderful software I told you about, the Blog360 beta? Costs a lot! I don’t want to mention the price… but let’s just say it is a little premature for a beginner like me to begin paying that amount for that one tool.

It’s a great tool, don’t get me wrong. It can send out articles, video clips, audio clips to all the sites you can imagine, even YouTube, ITunes and so on. But for someone just starting out… will I use it fully? I don’t think so. It is about ROI (Returns on Investment), and I really don’t think I can get so much returns, so soon. No content yet.

Today we had to go through a couple of other sales presentations. The two AdWords guys that showed us all that great stuff about coming up with a campaign that will give us instant click-throughs had 10 DVDs to give us.

But, let’s not be negative here. What each of them had taught us are the absolute basics, and we can take that and get some money NOW. I absolutely believe that. Those additional cool stuff they were showing us were cool, but not for me at the moment. I have to do the basics first.

I can’t race F1 when I can’t even kart yet, right?
So don’t sell me the latest Ferrari F1 car. Let me start karting first.

Once again. I am too tired. Still absorbing. So be prepared for more stuff as I absorb them and re-frame them. Is anyone reading this anyway? Any comments, and particular thing you want to discuss? Just comment away!

My mind is now so full of information, I am going into overload soon! (Note to self, remember what was said about information overload.)

It’s been fun. Because I was a little late today, I could not find Atul and had to pick another seat. What a strange coincidence it was, then, that when I picked a new seat, I was sitting next to the very blogger whose blog caught my attention just before I slept the previous night!

Jackie Chew, from CashBrew.com.

Check his blog out at http://www.cashbrew.com/blog/. mybloglog really works… That was how I came to his site from exploring around.

Worked on a couple of cool stuff today. Affiliate Marketing had been drilled into our heads again and again. It seems that is the easiest thing to start on right now.

Met two cool guys and we formed up a team to work on some of the action items today.

Meet Dexter, Kelvin and me.

In a fairly short time, we set up a marketing genius blog .

We moved into the Sales Process and how to capture our list from a Sales Funnel. Familiar? For those of us from Robert G. Allen’s Millionaire Matrix, we have heard about that before. In fact, that was the very thing that got me attracted to Internet Marketing in the first place.

Two of the most valuable things I learnt today, if I must sum it up is the Empty Box Principle by Jaz Lai, and Blog360.

- The Empty Box Principle is very easy, and explains why budding Internet Marketers like me fail. I shall elaborate about this further next time.
- What really blew my mind was Blog360, a weblog package filled with plugins and scripts, all optimized to help a marketer really save time. The tagline is “Push Button Easy”. The target is to make things really push button, easy. The idea is that after creating content on his blog, a blogger would be able to automatically submit his content on ALL the social content sites by “pushing a button”. Great right? Well, the only thing is that making that button work takes a while, and i am sure I am not the only one who faced difficulties today.

Anyhow, I will be doing a video guide for setting up Blog360 beta for myself and whoever wants to know. I don’t think I should share this wonderful package, because they haven’t launched it yet, and we promised not to. I hope my video does not violate any copyrights though. I know, I know, I sorta promised a couple of people I will do it tonight… but I am too tired, man… I need to absorb my information… in bed!

First day was about understanding our brains, and some teasers for the things that will follow. The first assignment for today was doing market research, getting a topic, and finding 3 products for the chosen topic at clickbank. Stephen promised that we would work on marketing these products through the course of the program.

So part 1 sounds easy?? It was not for me!

Even after getting the technical part of registering for accounts were done, you really have to use your brain for the creation of opportunities from the material you have. Do you have any problems with the technical parts? If you do, drop me a comment, and I will try to record it into a short clip for you.

In order for me to get started, I required 3 things. Stephen mentioned 2 of them :-
1. Topic (Keywords)
2. Ready Products (Affiliate Products)

For me, I wanted to be ready for next step. I wanted to think of scaleability.
3. Information

So what did I do?

1. Perform marketing research to find some topics that I suspect will have products readily available.
For this, you have to put a little imaginiation in. What are the people really searching for when they type certain phrases?
For example, when someone searches for Paris Hilton… what are they looking for? A novel by Paris Hilton? I think not.
Primarily, the site I go to is www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html

Narrow down to 3-5 topics.

2. Search for the products at clickbank.com.
3. Filter out some of the topics which I do not find and products for.
Left with 1-3 topics.
4. Perform a search at overture for a list of phrases that were searched with chosen keywords.
5. Go to google.com, search through some of the phrases to get an understanding of competition and the products they have.
Also watch for adsense. How many ads are shown for those phrases?

I am greedy, so I look for those with 3 or less ads.
6. Check if I have information on these topics already. (In this particular case, I was looking at the free articles that Stephen provided to us at the beginning of the program.)
This last part is to ensure that I have enough information to form the meat of my page, or my autoresponder campaign.

Phew… quite a bit to complete. Tried to unzip on a subdomain of a domain I already own. (Trying to cut cost first.) But that didn’t work. I don’t understand php enough to figure out what went wrong with the codes, so I signed up for another domain with godaddy, and bluehost for webhosting again. Argh! It still does not work!

It’s so far been a very interesting ride. Collecting information… collecting information. I will eventually get there! Then I will begin sharing what I have learnt! So you have to be very patient with me.

Up next… UYMG Day 1.

See ya tomorrow!

In a couple of days time, I will be going for Unleash Your Marketing Genius (UYMG) by Stephen Pierce!

I have received a pre-work package with a list of homework to do. Pretty basic steps at the beginning, find a product, register a domain, host a domain, etc…

Since I do not know how much we receive from Stephen Pierce is meant to be kept to the participants of the seminar only. I will not be sharing the links and the material I get from them directly. If you are from the seminar, and you need some help, howdy buddy. Drop me an email, and I will try to help out where I can.

Looking at the stuff we have in the pdf, I am happy in a way because it is precisely all the things that I do not want to learn AT the seminar itself, because these are basic stuff. In fact, these are the things that I have been working on for a while. But I am a little disappointed in the organisation of materials so far. The pdf files and the links do not seem to tally.

The first link on the pdf points to a online video teaching a tutorial step 1. On the pdf, it is placed under Register a Domain, but on the page, the video teaches you how to find your first product. Very strange… The actual video tutorial that teaches registering of a domain is actually found on step 2.

There also seems to be some problem with the flash videos at that site. A little laggy even though judging from the progress bar, the whole video should have been downloaded.

Anyway, I will strive to follow the basic steps. From what I gather, the organizers want all the participants to :-
1) Using goodkeywords(gkw), do a simple keyword search to find a strong niche market.
http://goodkeywords.com/download/
2) Look for a niche product to market from their list of niches. (Handpicked by Pierce himself, what criteria I do not know yet…)
Link provided, which I will not share here. Instead, you can go to www.clickbank.com to find something that is in line with your research results from Step 1.
3) Register a domain name.
4) Get a host, and host that domain.

Also, from what I gather, the organizers will probably introduce all the other tools that will be necessary, like myspace, blogger, ebay, paypal. I see YouTube. Interesting… this is the niche that I will be focusing on for my own product, so that’s pretty cool.

OK. Now to see what they will do for all these areas. Though basic, every step requires a fair bit of work in order to be more efficient. For example, for Step 1, there are lots of other tools that provide so much more analysis. For example, an analysis of competition existing in the market you want to be a part of.
