 Since eOneNet.com branded ourselves as Internet marketing coach in Asia, (and the first company to create and own this position in Asia), we have created the most successfully Internet marketing coaching program in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, with the most no. of successful graduates making real money online, including some making millions online from scratch. 

Since then, there are many overnight Internet marketers who after attending some Internet marketing seminars and learning from ebooks, also claim themselves to be Internet marketing coaches, and also try to teach others to make money online.

If you decided you would need an Internet marketing coach to hand-hold you to start your profitable Internet business, choosing the right one is crucial to your success. Here are 7 tips to help you find a suitable one:

1. The first factor to consider is to ask how much is the Internet marketing coach making money online?

There is a huge difference for someone making a few thousands and another one making millions of dollars, each year. An internet marketing coach who teaches you strategies learnt from a book is never as useful as one who can show you real experience of making lots of money online, so it’s not a “textbook” coach that you need.

If you intend to make US$100,000 online, then find a Coach who makes at least double or triple this income from his or her internet business.

2. If an Internet marketing coach claims that he has made a lot money online, can he or she prove it?

Did the Coach show you his or her online income statement? On the Internet, beware of a lot of bogus claims. It just takes some simple editing software to change the digits on a cheque or on a Clickbank statement.

How do you check for this claim then? Visit the website and understand the nature of business this person is operating. If he sells a software for US$20 and gets 1,000 sales each month (totalling to US$20,000 in income), but spends over US$10,000 in Google Adwords advertising. Then his income derived will be just US$10,000 and then you need to minus the percentage of affiliate commissions he is paying (and for ebooks and digital softwares, it can be as high as 75%). Therefore, even if his affiliate commissions are 50%, the nett income this person earns is just about US$5,000 right?

3. Is the coach practising what he teaches?

Many self-proclaimed Internet marketing coaches are “overnight” gurus who have made some money by selling ebooks or making money information.

Even if an Internet marketing coach can prove he is making money online, find out what is his main source of income. Most of the Internet marketing coaches’ main income is by selling making money information, and then by teaching. And if they claim you can make millions of dollars without selling anything, or even without doing any hard work, then you need to be ultra careful.

If you want to sell physical products, and if the coach cannot prove he has sold physical products successfully, how can he be qualified to teach you to do so?

We are excited to conduct another weekend Internet marketing coaching program at our Kuala Lumpur centre to a group of Chinese speaking group, who came from KL, Pahang, JB, Penang, KK, Singapore and other places.

Fione Tan sharing her experience in Mandarin in the class.

What about her video?

In this Chinese Internet marketing video, Fione gave an example of our student making up to 600% profits on a marketing campaign.

Day 1 started with the most important topic. If you get this wrong, no other techniques, including getting top rankings in search engines may help you make money. This is how to research for the popular demand online, i.e. what people are actually searching for an buying online.  Then source for products to sell to this target market to satisfiy their demand.

One of the main reasons why many people who failed on the Internet business was because they did it the other way round. They sourced for a product and then hoping to sell to anyone, and haven’t got a clue whether the products are really in demand online or not.

Why trying to do it yourself by trial and error and at the end spending more time and money, than getting a short-cut to success by following a proven success system?

It has been nearly one year since eOneNet conducted the last Internet marketing seminar in Penang. This place didn’t seem to have changed. The food was still great!

One of the participants in the seminar knew Fione back in 2003 when she was a contestant representing Penang in the Miss Malaysia World Pageant. At that time, we were managing the website and even got our own subsidiary title Miss eOneNet! She is now very interested to learn how to make money online and is considering to purchase our Internet marketing video to learn at home while getting Fione’s online coaching.

Another participant got to know Fione via the National Entrepreneur Conference in KL early this year during which Fione was the speaker presenting on the topic of Internet business. She has waited for us to attend our seminar in Penang for nearly 6 months! At the end of the seminar, without a second thought, she decided to join our next coaching class in KL.

There was also one participant who has been doing the Internet business for more than 2 years, and have attended other Internet marketing seminar including Derek Gehl’s seminar. However, his income was not that satisfactory, even though he is now working on the Internet business full time for more than 10 hours per day.

He said his friend who attended this seminar with him subsequently joined eOneNet’s Internet marketing coaching program and after that his friend’s results improved progressively. So he is confident that our program works and therefore decided to join our next program in September.

This shows that working hard is not enough to make real money on the Internet. Getting the right coach seems to be more important. Otherwise, the time may be spent on doing all the wrong things and making all the mistakes, which could have been avoided by getting the advice of a good Internet marketing coach.

I am back to KL and will stay until end of next week to help in a series of Internet marketing seminars in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. The Penang Internet marketing seminars will be held on 29 June (Sunday) afternoon and 30 June evening. Fione and I will be there. If you would like to meet up with us, Register now.

Today is the 1st Web 2.0 New Ways of Internet Marketing Seminar conducted in Chinese in our Kuala Lumpur office (Damansara Perdana).

The contents are basically the same as our English. In this one day seminar, we have more time to share more concrete strategies and tips to start an Internet business from scratch, including:

- B2B marketing, for manufacturers, wholesalers, trading companies, distributors and even agents. Don’t think that you need to be already in this business before doing b2b. We will teach you how to run your own b2b trading company in no time, and capture a piece of the HUGE b2b pie.

- New ways of Internet marketing using YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Blogs etc, and all of these tools are FREE! Some of the examples we showed have gathered a few million views or clicks to websites just by using these free tools!

Wow, this is the second weekend of eOneNet.com’s Internet marketing coaching program in Hong Kong!  Some of the participants have already started their websites or blogs from scratch within the first month!

 Some samples of new blogs are:

Kitty’s 1HKFlowerFruit.blogspot.com - selling flowers and fruit baskets in Hong Kong

Amy’s HongKongCakes.blogspot.com - selling yummy cakes (and it’s really yummy as I tried already!)

Eric’s Bazitips.blogspot.com - Want to find out when you will make your first million online? Check your bazi here!

No products to sell? No problem! You can also make money online with different business models including using blogs, and even free blogs!

For the non-techies, they may find it challenging to create their first blog, and how to upload pictures and videos.

Most of the students also face another challenge - what to write. However, we have revealed fool-proof ways to add contents to your blogs, even without yourself writing a lot.

Let’s see what some of the participants have learned from our coaching!

Posted by Harrace, Senior Internet marketing coach

The monthly education topic for the eBusiness Club meeting held in our Hong Kong eOneNet Centre yesterday was “B2B Marketing Success Tips”. This is where the big money lies online, as one order can be for tons of products.

We started off by showing how to make money with B2B, as manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors or trading agents. There are various online tools to help B2B marketers to identify hot B2B products searches, and in particular, where to locate volume buyers.

These searches can be done in B2B portals. The best one we are using, and it’s free, is NOT alibaba.com, but another popular one which can tell you the popular related searches. For example, if you are searching for jewelry, they will tell you the related popular searches (which are not those we thought): jewelry offers, jewelry importers etc.

Some of these portals also enable you to find volumn buyers. For example, in one of these portals, I found out there is a buyer from Egypt who wants to buy 50 tons of frozen food. So how can you make money if you are not selling this type of frozen food?

You can act as a trading agent, and find sellers who are selling this kind of stuffs, and tell them you have a customer from Egypt who is looking to buy the stuffs and ask if they are interested.

Another alternative is to post a buying lead to buy this kind of stuffs and let interested sellers to contact you. So in no time, you can be doing B2B trading!

Other B2B marketing stratgies we reveal include search engine marketing, video marketing, and blog marketing. If you can master these strategies, you will surely have a competitive edge against your competitors, the majority of which are only using one or two of these strategies.

A whopping 80% of those who attended eOneNet Internet marketing seminars, and even our popular Internet marketing coaching course conducted in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore do not have any ideas what to sell.

This is no brainer if you are able to find out what does your target market want using online research tools (most of them are free). You will need to use different tools for different countries. For example, the tools we use for the UK market is different from the US market, or the Hong Kong market, or the China market.

These tools enables us to find out not just how many searches for keywords are done per month, but also the popularity of different types of products under the same category. For example, if you want to sell jewelry, you need to decide to sell which type of jewelry, e.g diamond, silver, gold, fashion jewelry etc. Before you decide on this, you will need to use the online tools to find out which type is in highest demand online.

Once you identify the type of jewelry with the highest demand online, e.g fashion jewelry, then you can do sourcing online using search engines, dropship directory, and B2B portals like alibaba.com.

The physical products eOneNet.com is selling include N95 Masks or Bird Flu Masks, e1Net wireless rechargeable mouse, e1Net Skype ready Headset microphone etc

These tools are equally applicable for other business models such as:

1. Sell services

You can also use the Internet to sell and/or promote services, and even get customers from overseas. For example, we regularly got customers engage us from overseas to offer Internet marketing services to help them promote certain products in a particular country.

E.g. one UK university hired us to do email marketing to get people to visit their exhibition booth in Taiwan. Another popular shoe brand in Europe engaged us to do search engine marketing for their stores in Japan, which resulted in their sales increase by 180% within 3 months!

Another highly successful eOneNet coaching graduate is Alice Sy, who is now running a very successful online domestic helper agency in Hong Kong, www.1maidhk.com . Although a local website, she’s also getting customers from Spain, Bahamas etc.

2. Sell Software

This is a very lucrative thing to sell, as once you paid for the development costs, you pratically have little costs in selling the software online. eOneNet’s software includes the DIY SEO Site Builder and web audio recording software.

Another highly successful eOneNet coaching graduate is Christopher Tam, who has made US$36,000 within 2 months of attending the course, by selling a small percentage of shares of his new website at www.klantcrm.com, selling CRM software. I believe he will be our next Millionaire graduate before the end of this year.

There are at least 5 more making money models online, some of which can be made auto-run.

A commonly asked question by would-be Internet newbies before they can decide to join eOneNet’s Internet Marketing Coaching program is : What is the success rate?

Another one is : Can you guarantee I can make money?

For those who have attended the program, they know we have revealed how to research for a hot target market / topic, and then how to use 5 or 6 different ways to make money from this, whether selling products, services, ebooks or other stuffs.

Let me put it this way, if they apply what they learned and do their homework, it’s IMPOSSIBLE not to make money online. How much they make individually depends on what they sell or do, and the effort they put in, which may range from a few hundreds dollars to even more than ONE MILLION DOLLARS (as some of eOneNet’s students from Malaysia and Hong Kong have achieved).

Let’s also hear what some of the participants in the Malaysia Internet Marketing Coaching have learned in this weekend in KL.

1. Absolute Link

- for example <a href=”http://www.eonenet.com/search_engine_promotion.htm” mce_href=”http://www.eonenet.com/search_engine_promotion.htm”> eOneNet search engine promotion marketing </a>

The other type of link is called the Relative link, where only the file name is shown, such as the sample <a href=”search_engine_promotion.htm” mce_href=”search_engine_promotion.htm”> eOneNet search engine promotion marketing </a>

If you are an insurance company who is not employing search engine marketing, you are losing out to your competitors who do!

According to the latest report by comScore, there were nearly 9 million searches for the keyword “auto insurance quotes” in search engines, which is an increase of 35% in 2007!

This does not include other related insurance quotes keywords such as “car insurance quotes”, “insurance quotes”, or even “life insurance quotes”, “health insurance quotes” etc.

If we are not an insurance company, how can we use this information to make money online?

One of eOneNet’s Internet marketing coaching students is actually making money with this information. We will share more on this in another post. Stay tuned!
