Which country / region now has the World’s No.1 Internet population?
It has been Asia since about 2 years ago. What is surprising is the no. 1 country is now probably China!
According to China Internet Network Information Center (CINIC), the online population for China has reached 220 million in Feb 2008. During the same period, the USA internet population was estimated at 217 million only. So if China maintains the growth rate for 2007 this year, China’s no. of Internet users can be comfortably No.1 before the end of 2008.
This shows that selling to the Chinese population is definitely one of the hottest new markets for making money online.
eOneNet has also been selling products, services and training to the China market, including our RMB10,000+ Internet Marketing Video and RMB20,000+ training programs.
Here are 5 tips to sell to China online:
Tip #1: Do a Chinese website
In China, it should be simplified Chinese (same for Singapore and Malaysia), whereas for Hong Kong and Taiwan, it should be traditional Chinese. So if your current website is in English , you will need to translate it to simplified Chinese, since most people in China do searches in simplified Chinese. So if your website does not have Chinese contents, there is no way for your site to come up in search engines results.
Tip #2 Search for Popular Keywords in China
You will need to know what people in China are searching and buying for, in particular the Chinese keywords.
First of all, you will need to identify the popular Chinese keywords people are searching for in China in the top search engines, such as Baidu, Yahoo China, Sina, and Google China. You will need to identify the research tools in these different search engines. Because the search behaviour for people in China will be different from people in US, or even Hong Kong. The details will be covered in one of the new topics in our Advanced Internet Marketing Coaching program
Tip #3 Do Chinese SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
Some of you may already have an idea what is SEO? If you are targetting the China market, you will also need to do Chinese SEO for your Chinese version, and get top rankings in China search engines. Most of the stuffs that work for English SEO also work for Chinese SEO. The main difference is to identify different China keywords research tools and the China search engines. More details will be also covered in our Advanced coaching program.
Most of our customers from China found out about our sites from one of these search engines. Even they never attended our seminars or met us before, they could fork out RMB10,000+ to buy our DVDs online!
