Ruby, who bought eOneNet’s Internet Marketing Video - Internet Marketing Coaching DVD Megapack one year ago, and has already made half a million dollars online! She shared her experience in a video here, in Chinese.

I’ve also interviewed her further to this Internet marketing video. For the benefits of those who can’t read Chinese, I’ve translated her reply to English.  Here you are.

A particpant who attended one of our basic Internet marketing seminars in Singapore last week sent me an email. She is from Hong Kong but is now working in Singapore. Her email is inspiring to me and probably to you too. So after seeking her consent, I reproduce it here.

Fione and Harrace

Hi, this is my first time writing to you and I hope you do remember me. I am the one who first signed up for the coaching course yesterday afternoon. It’s really nice talking to you as you are so down-to-earth and amiable. I am so glad having signed up for the course and although, my coaching course is still 1 1/2 months away, I am so excited and how I wish that I can start the course even earlier because I know, after acquiring the skills and good tips from experts like you, I will be out there making REAL MONEY and then my S$4K investment (course fees) will be covered in no time!!

I am well aware of the great potential of what ecommerce offers and especially at this golden age of IT. I am a HongKonger who migrated to Singapore many years ago. Two years ago, I started to take notice of China Alibaba, Taobao and many other equivalent B2B, B2C platforms. So many opportunities but so little people in Singapore know how to grab them. In fact, I am preparing to start my own shop on the internet, targeting to a niche market and I need good and practical skills for selling on the Net. However, there is always a gap between Small/Medium setups to the so call internet service providers. Things are so “technical’ and unless you have the $$$ to pay for a single agent who can do everything for you. Otherwise, D.I.Y may save $$$ but definitely not saving time. I was once searching for web-design Company, hosting company, merchant account providers and many more of other services. It was SOOOOO tedious! My last and best solution is sticking to Ebay and I almost had subscribed an ebayStore until yesterday morning…..

Somehow, I keyed “Adword” to a search engine, that’s where I got to know your company and fortunately, you had two seminars and I attended the one in the afternoon. I want to tell the two of you that “I HAVE FOUND WHAT I WANT!!!” I intend to officially launch my shop in Nov 2007. I look forward to the day when I can provide a good and detailed testimonial recommending your company and services. Also, other than just a student/client relationship of e1Net, I wish we can become friends too! (Fione and my birthdays are actually 1 month apart only).

By the way, I had also purchased the DVDs and was told that I can only get them in June. May I request getting it earlier so that I can learn now? I will definitely attend the workshop and do the homework with diligence. Your course is such a good thing and how I wish I know you guys 2 years ago!

My previous post of Invitation To Submit Your Internet Business Success Stories has drawn some positive response, not just from eOneNet Internet marketing seminars participants.

I just received a submission from a top corporate blogger with an interview revealing the secrets of success of a corporate blog - SouthWest Airline.

Here you are:

Harrace:

I think this interview which we ran today on the Buzz Bin blog would be of interest to you readers:

Nuts About Southwest Demonstrates True Social Interaction
May 8th, 2007 by Geoff Livingston Interviews (e)

It’s one of the leading corporate blogs on the Internet, and it just turned one year old. Nuts About Southwest’s Brian Lusk took the time to interview with the Buzz Bin and give us some insights on how the blog has helped the airline. In a very revealing interview, Lusk says the company changed strategic direction on assigned seating and advanced scheduling thanks to community feedback on the blog. Read on for an exciting look at how community and transparency can work to benefit a major company.

BB: How does it feel now that Nuts About Southwest has passed that year mark?

BL: The one-year mark is a significant milestone with our blog, and it has been an exciting and gratifying year. It seems odd to say this, but considering that a year is like a lifetime in the blogosphere, our blog has matured and received a lot of accolades from other bloggers. It has become a source of information for the mainstream media, including CNN and The Wall Street Journal, but to us the greatest accomplishment is that the blog has become a part of our readers and our Company’s life.

BB: How has the company embraced the blog? (more…)

eOneNet presented another full-house blog marketing seminar in Hong Kong this evening.

Only 3 of the participants opened blogs, but none of them are making money with their blogs. So this blog marketing seminar, which reveals how to make money with blogs is most suitable for them.

There was a prize presentation to one of the winners of our blog contest, Ruby, who purchased eOneNet’s Internet marketing video DVD home study course one year ago.

This is the prize for Stage 1 of the blog contest - one e1Net wireless rechargeable mouse and one e1Net computer headset microphone.

Ruby is now 5-month pregnant!

She took this chance to share her success story to us for the first time. After applying what she learned from the Internet marketing DVD, she helped her husband to launch a website selling glass. She’s excited to reveal that 70% of the business now comes from online! Recently, she got an order for a huge sum of money, the exact amount I will ask her to share in a post here. Stay tuned for another inspiring success story, by a pregnant lady working from home!

After the seminar, Fione and I went for dinner in a restaurant nearby with some coaching participants and one of the seminar participants. They continued to share more of their success stories!

No doubt the shortcut to Internet marketing success is to learn from successful role models. So we will create a new category in this blog “Internet Marketing Business Success”.

If you have attended eOneNet’s Internet marketing seminars or Internet marketing coaching, or have benefited from eOneNet’s services or advice, you are welcome to submit your success stories to harrace@eonenet.com. You don’t need to make a huge sum of money. The success can be making the first $1,000, or the first S$10,000, getting top rankings in search engines, increasing traffic or getting more sales.

What is you haven’t attended eOneNet’s seminars but have a success story to share? You better do, before your competitors do! :)  But you are also welcome to email me or leave comments here.

Posted by Franco, 100teddybear.com

It is exactly 13 weeks ago since I launched my teddy bear website, www.100teddybear.com. The journey might seem brief considering that I attended eOneNet’s Internet marketing coaching workshop at e1Net in mid November 2006 that jump-started my leap into cyberspace.

It had been a challenging 8 weeks prior to the website launch. The eOneNet workshop had provided me with an understanding of some of the areas that I could consider. Options were available to me to look at which business model would be appropriate for me. I would have taken the easy route and either launched the platform based on affiliate programs or drop-shippers.

Another choice was e-books. I chose to find a product, promote and market it. I decided to sell teddy bears. These teddy bears that are unlike those generally available in the marketplace.

I headed to the bookstores. I bought books and even more books. Books included topics covering internet marketing, SEO, Blogging, Video-blogging, eBay, Dreamweaver 8. I read and read…trying to gain a more in-depth understanding of the sorts of application of the knowledge gained from my Internet marketing coach, e1Net.

Sourcing for the right teddy bear product has taken a month.

I began designing the website. However, with the timeline that I had to launch my website fast, I finally passed that task to a webmaster. With the knowledge I have equipped myself from e1Net and the books, I working with the webmaster to structure the website that way it should be.

Just a piece of advice here. Never leave it to your webmaster entirely to create and design the website. There are just too many other considerations besides the look and feel of the website. For a website to be able to attract traffic, it is critically important that keywords, meta-tags, site optimization, ranking, google adwords, blog are considered. All these I had to work with the webmaster in addition to the shopping cart and adding a blog to the website.

Finally on January 20, 2007 I was ready to uploaded my website.

First 2 weeks, nothing happened as far as money making was concerned. I was tweaking areas such as my keywords, landing pages, page titles, blog, google analytics. I was also working on my teddy bear blog, http://my1teddybear.blogspot.com with the hope to promote and drive certain amount interests to the website.

Another area I worked on was google adwords and activated the sponsored link. That effort, immediately almost within the same hour, drove traffic to the website from all over the world. I had 85 visitors within the first 5 hours of the google adwords being activated. I generated about 3.5% conversion on average. Over a 5-week duration, I received orders amounting to just over USD 4,000 from the world at large!!

I must say that is pretty impressive for a teddy bear start-up website. Yes!! Heap heap hooray!!

This is just the beginning of the journey. I need to learn constantly especially for things that work online. So I am now attending eOneNet’s Internet marketing blog workshop to get more tips and ideas of marketing blogs and websites, while making this post concurrently. With the solid support from the Internet marketing coaches at e1Net, including Fione and Harrace, this helps to overcome any challenges I am facing during this Internet journey.

I shared my experience during eOneNet’s Internet marketing blog workshop last week.

I invited one of our Hong Kong Internet Marketing coaching participants to share how started his Internet business from scratch, after paying eOneNet.com almost the whole of his life-savings to attend the coaching class in August, 2006.

This is one of the qualities of an entrepreneurs - taking risks! His English is not good. So he is only doing a Chinese website for the time being. But within 3 months, he recouped his investment and has turned from an employee to a full-time Internet entrepreneur! Recently, he got invited to a Yahoo Hong Kong top sellers meeting, being one of the top sellers there!

I got him to post a blog here sharing his experience, written in Chinese. To view his post, CLICK HERE.

I just managed to upload his video here. Enjoy watching!
