Internet Business Live 2!

I attended Internet Business Live 2 seminar organized by two of the biggest Internet Marketer names in town namely Ewen Chia and Patrick Chan. It is one of the most interesting and rewarding seminar I have ever attended. It was held at Singapore Novotel Clark Quay hotel on September 24th and 25th. There are quite a few people who flew in from as far as Australia and US to attend the event.

I learn quite a number of strategies and techniques in the seminar, most of which you will not be able to find else where. I am surprised that both Ewen and Patrick is so open and willing to share, so much so that they even show us some of their successful websites as well as disclosed some of the under radar strategies and techniques!.

How many Internet Marketing Guru’s do you know of are willing to show and let people see their money making websites ? Not many I suppose and here in IBL2 we have two of the most well respected and established trainer and speaker disclosing some of their best money making websites!

Most seminars usually involved multiple speakers, each lasting about an hour and so where the speech is usually scripted in advance and then follow with up sell of products and services, not so with Ewen and Patrick. The up sell of their 6 month intensive Internet marketing training follow through only after they have completed the training seminar.

One of the thing that I find most interesting about IBL2 event is that Ewen and Patrick conduct the seminar in a free flow manner where they speak freely and pour out their thoughts and gave some valuable insights when it cross their mind. It is not a scripted event so to speak. I can tell that they truly believe in sharing the wealth of information and experience that they have gained so that others may benefit from it.

The lack of preparation does not compromise the quality of the seminar but rather it enhance and makes it more lively and fascinating. The biggest take away that I gain from IBL2 is that Ewen rightfully points up that everyone can succeed online just like him and in all essence success is all about foremost having the right mindset and secondly the ability to follow a proven Internet marketing blueprint system.

There are many ways to make money online. There are so many business model to choose from. Do not be intimidated by all the various marketing techniques. You don’t need to be an expert in every business model in order to succeed. You certainly do not need to be an Internet techie or Internet savvy to start a profitable online business.

What matter most is find out what best works for you and then do more of the same thing in order to make even more money. The key technique is what is usually called rinse and repeat. Once you have established a money making business model that works for you then you can move on to explore other techniques.

The online business landscape is ever changing but the basic principle on how to make money online remains the same. It is truly and evergreen technique that both Ewen and Patrick has mastered and put to perfection. You stand to gain a lot by enrolling in some of their best training courses and coaching programs.

If you are newcomer in the world of Internet Marketing then you may wonder what is the easiest and quickest way to start an online business. A lot of people has the wrong notion that they need to create their own product or service in order to start one.

Do you actually really need to create your own product in order to start an online business?  Absolute not!, you don’t need to create or own any product at all. Have you heard of the term affiliate marketing? In a nutshell affiliate marketing is a form of marketing where you get certain commissions for recommending and referring people to buy products for which you are the product affiliate.

There are lots of work involved to make money with your own product. Not only do you have to spend time and money to create a product, you also need to deal with marketing stuffs such as writing  a good sales-copy letter, sales banner, handle payment system, refunds, technical and customer support and etc.

On the contrary you don’t need to worry about all the above when you deal with affiliate marketing. You just need to focus on promoting and recommending products to the customer. Isn’t that an easier business model for novice and newbie Internet Marketers to begin with? By the way you can still create your own products for instance eBook which you can bundle as additional bonus or add ons for customers that purchase affiliate products through you.

Affiliate marketing has been around for quite some time, even in offline business, well except that people don’t called it specifically ‘affiliate marketing’. Take for instance a shop which sells various products and goods. Do you think all those products are manufactured or created by the shop owner? Of course not!. So where do all those products on the shelf comes from?

Put it simply, the goods and products are distributed by salesmen who make a deal with the shop owners who stand to earn some profit when a sale is made. The same goes for affiliate marketing whereby you sign up as an affiliate for products or services that you wish to promote through your website. It is as easy as directing the customer to the product website. You get paid when the customer you refer to buy the product.

The main advantage with online affiliate marketing is that you don’t need a lot of initial capital start up investment at all. As a matter of fact you don’t even need a website to begin with. You can promote affiliate products directly through Facebook, Squidoo, HubPages, and various social networking media and social book marking sites such as StumbleUpon. You have the flexibility and choice to promote both physical as well as digital products.

All that you need is a computer with connection to the Internet to start an online business and you CAN make money as an affiliate marketer, usually as quick as in within the 1st 24 hours . I used to be very skeptical about people being able to make money online within 24 hours starting from scratch until I attended the  Internet Live Business 2 seminar conducted by Ewen Chia and Patrick Chan.

There so many affiliate programs that you can sign up for as an affiliate marketer. Most of these companies do not have strict criteria and they usually approve your application quickly. Amazon, eBay, Commission Junction are but some of the bigger names that offers you the opportunity to promote physical products.

Among these companies, eBay is the most difficult to sign up for as an affiliate also known as eBay Partnership. Don’t’ be surprise if your application gets rejected by eBay no matter how hard you try. Of course there are some tips that you can use to improve your chances of being approve by eBay but again that’s an article for another post which I will write shortly.

I am quite impressed with US President Obama’s speech which he addressed to the US congress on the proposed Job’s Act. The Bill Act that Obama seeks Congress to approve right away pertains to tax cuts and money estimated amounting up to US$447 billion dollars, mostly to put unemployed Americans back work.

President Obama is truly a gifted speaker indeed. His stern yet seemingly calm expression is quite commendable. The message he conveyed pertaining to the urgency to help those in desperate need of financial support will no doubt goes down well and touch the life of those who live from pay check to pay check or on day by day basis.

I was not able to watch the entire live television broadcast of the speech because I had to leave house for work. On the way to the office I can’t help but wonder if President Obama’s Job Act is going to solve the nation jobless woes.

At the heart of the whole economic and financial crisis that beset the world superpower, creating new jobs seems like the most logical plan and sensible urgent task to focus on. The bigger question though is if the proposed Bill a long term and sustainable plan given the ever changing political and economical landscape that affect not just the United States but also the rest of the world as well.

Republicans and Democrats are still very much at loggerheads and at odds with what the best solution to address the nation’s soaring debt and increase unemployment rate should be. President Obama strongly believe that the wealthiest citizens of the nation and large US corporations should do their part to contribute more to help the middle and the lower class income wage earners.

Well, I am not so sure if I agree a hundred percent with Obama’s proposed increase tax rate for the wealthy class in order to help subsidize the middle and lower income group. After all, some of these so called well to do high income group earners were also once struggling much like the lower and middle income class long before they achieve success. Many of these high achievers did it with no assistance from the government.

Most of those who achieved tremendous success in life work hard to achieve their goals and aspirations. Money don’t simply fall from the sky so to speak. Yes, no doubt there are quite a few who acquire their wealth through unscrupulous and unethical means but for the greater majority, it is their right mindset, persistent and focused efforts that get them where they are.

The Republican viewed President Obama’s ‘ national wealth distribution policy as that of robbing the rich to feed the poor, some sort like Robin Hood story, a socialist propaganda and an excuse to shift the goal post from his failed administration economic policy to that of pointing the finger at the wealthy rich class not doing their part to help the poor.

Creating jobs to alleviate the unemployment situation is the right to do. Providing the right conducive environment for people to venture and create new businesses is even more important. As the saying goes; ‘Give a man a fish and he live for a day, teach the man how to catch a fish and he will earn his live-hood.

For those who were being put out of work due to company restructuring or downsizing, getting a job is a priority but it is also important to look at the big picture, to consider and strive towards having multiple streams of income regardless if you have a full time job or not.

It is very risky to put all your eggs in one basket so to speak. If you earn your income from pay check to pay check then you really ought to consider alternative source of income so as to compliment the job that you have.

Having multiple streams of income is more than just a backup plan. Having alternative source of income can make a difference between struggling to feed your family versus living and providing a comfortable financially secured environment for your loved ones in today’s economic and financial uncertainties. You don’t have to panic if you lose your main job simply because you have sideline income to cushion the impact of the lost of your 9 to 5 job.

One of the best ways to generate multiple source of income is through Internet marketing. You can practically establish a profitable online business even if you are really broke or living on shoe string budget. The barrier entry to start an online business is practically almost zero.

It is quite interesting to note that many unemployed people are struggling to look for jobs while there are those who quit their full time well paid job to focus on their home based online business! There lies the difference between those who choose their own destiny versus those who sit on the fence to wait for government assistance.

We live in an era of unprecedented global economic and financial uncertainty. Unless your father or you own the company that you work for, you can forget about life time career or life time employment. Nobody is indispensable in any organization.

Change of management and reorganization in any company may result in you having to report to a nasty boss or someone that you simply cannot work with. All your past efforts and contributions to the company are wasted when you are reassign to report to a new boss who may or may not value your talents and capabilities.

You can lose your job for a variety of reasons, not just due to company downsizing and restructuring. Why wait to be told to get out from the company? As the saying goes, failure to plan is to plan to fail. Don’t procrastinate and take for granted that your job is secure.

Many marketers get so caught up in the stampede for traffic that they spend all their time building links. They have failed to remember that the on page factors are vital in SEO.

These are quite simple for you to do and are something that should be fundamental when you create a new site. An ideal SEO friendly piece of software is WordPress.

Firstly, make sure you have set a title tag. This must be 64 characters in length. Any longer and it will be shortened and this will look very peculiar in the search engine listings.

The title tag needs to advise people what your site is about in such a way to entice them in to your webpage. It must include a keyword that is specific for the page the title tag is on. All the pages on your website needs to have a title tag specific to it. You must never use the same title tag on every page.

Next are your meta keywords and meta description. These notify the search engine spiders about the content of your site. They are not particularly important to the search engines, as most of them will analyse your site to see what it is really about.

These are of importance if you are using Adsense as without these meta tags in place, you will see your Adsense ads aren’t targeted to your niche.

Because the meta description appears in the search engine rankings it is significant to you. This 150 characters is all you get to make people click on your URL. This sentence must be enticing and concise.

Your meta keywords and description should also be unique for each page within your site.

Any graphics on your web site have what are called as ALT tags. These tags provide an alternative description for the visually impaired. The search engines look at these and can get your images ranking well. Make sure you do not attach the same keyword to too many ALT tags and add the word graphic, picture, image or something similar afterwards. This is yet another indicator to the search engines that your webpage is appropriate for the keywords.

Including your keyword in the header 1 or H1 tag on your page is also helpful. .

Your site will rank well if you use your keyword and related keywords in the body of each page.

Just do not try and stuff too many keywords on to a single page as you may get yourself dropped from the search engines.

By performing some simple on page SEO optimization you can gain the advantage in the search engines. This could give you the advantage over your competition because not all marketers do any on page SEO

What on earth is Directory Submission Service and just how could it help you? Search engine optimization (SEO) is the particular method of increasing the amount or quality of visitors to a web site from search engines via “natural” or un-paid search results rather than search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion.
