Conducted my 1 day internet marketing workshop “The Quick & Easy way to tap into Internet Marketing for Fun & Profit” yesterday 20th march 2011.

Every students equipped with their laptop kicked in to google.com and started with their searches on makret research and demand. They have gone through the guided steps to build their internet business online.

Edit

We covered the market research, domain name selection, linking domain name to web hosting (some have problem here as they were doing this for the 1st time), installation of wordpress, changing of theme and plugins, and many more.

Some even managed to get their blog and business idea online and link to paypal. I really appreciate those who have been asking a lot of questions about paypal, adsense and many more. I feel the Questions & Answer session was good as it shows that you want to learn more.

Good Job Everyone ! 

In Internet Marketing, my advise is that you can deal with technical aspect if you are good in it. If not, focus on your business hat and ask your mates or me to build your website so that we always play with our strength.

I hope all of you keep on building the websites and show to me what you got so that you can always get feedbacks from me. Remember the key to success is perseverance !

I just conducted a 3 hours free internet marketing workshop “How to tap into internet marketing & make money” to some participants a few days ago. Pleased to see that all of them learnt about the basic of internet marketing

I find that one needs not to be very technical literate to run online business in internet. However a lot of people focus on technical skills. Yes, technical skill helps a bit, but not the major factors. So please dont focus on “reaction” because of the “environment“. What i mean, dont react spontaneously based on the environment, like when the government focus on “biotech” then all parents sent their child overseas to study biotech, and found out that it is no longer applicable in today’s context. as government is pushing for integrated resort nowsadays. So my advise is dont chase after the environment changes.

Instead focus on what your main goal, dream. as when we focus on the mission, anything technical is irrelevant.

During this 3 hours Internet Marketing Workshop, I went through on how to select profitable keywords, finding niche, tips in purchasing domain name (in fact I went all the way to spend my own $$ to purchase 1 domain LIVE).

I also linked the newly purchased domain to webhosting, and as the winner of the today, one participant Mr Sam, have his domain for FREE and a webhosting for 1 year (gift from me).

We also covered the running of PPC (pay per click to market the new website. There are a lot of cover, how i wish I have 8 hours to share with you, so that you can hands-on. And I hope by now, you should have learn a lot of stuff during the free session.

Thus why I am launching this workshop (1 DAY workshop_, and wish it is beneficial for those who have attended my 3 hours free workshop or new people.

The 1 day workshop will be “The Quick & Easy way to tap into Internet Marketing for Fun & Profit“. It has special price that I give to those take action, as I plan to increase the price if I find I can deliver more.
