HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!

Wow it’s another New Year! eOneNet and our team had a prosperous and wonderful 2007, both personally and financially!

If you still haven’t made your first million online, here are 5 tips to guarantee your success!

1. Give yourself 3 reasons why you want to make your first (or 2nd / 3rd) million online. For example, I want to travel to my dream destination in business class, pamper myself in the spa, purchase my dream house etc

2. Set your goal to make $One Million (RM, HK$, S$, US or whatever currency you like) on or before 31 December, 2008.

3. Plan what to sell online which can give you a revenue of $One Million before end of 2008. This can be a combination of selling products, services, information. If you are looking for a revenue of $One Million, you have the following options:

a) For b2c - Sell big ticket items, e.g. if your average sale per order is US$1,000, you will need to have only 1,000 orders in one whole year to get US$One Million. So each day, you will need to get 2.7 orders.

Check out popular products in eBay, amazon.com or using Google keyword tool.

b) for B2B - Sell products which corporate buyers are already looking for. It doesn’t matter if you are not a manufacturer or wholesaler. You can just be a trading agent.

eOneNet does not manufacture SARS Masks or Bird Flu Masks. However, we have been receiving B2B orders for hundreds of boxes of 3M N95 Masks, and the best part is we don’t need to keep inventory!

4.  Learn and master new ways of Internet marketing, such as getting FREE top rankings in search engines within 48 hours, social marketing, video marketing, and apply to what you are selling.

If you are a newbie, don’t worry, you can get a shortcut to pick up these skills just by attending eOneNet’s popular Internet marketing seminars (and of course ranked NO.1 in Asia, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia), and if you need a top Internet Marketing Coach to guarantee your success, you will need to get in fast by registering at www.InternetMarketingCoaching.com or CALL our regional offices to avoid disappointment.

5. Don’t just aim. Shoot!

Many people spent months just doing the research, and still not deciding what to sell! Some of them have decided what to sell, but the wrong things.

Ask these questions to see if you’ve struck the millionaire dollar product: (more…)

The holiday season accounts for about 30% of the annual online sales for e-tailers. Here is a list of the Top 5 ways for you to skyrocket your online sales during this period：

#1: Run a contest

Run a sweepstake or contest in your site for signing up for your enewsletter, giving away your products as prizes. One good example is the eOneNet Blog contest giving away the new Apple iPhone. If you are selling services, e.g. facial or slimming, you can give away free trial offers to those who signed up as your member.

#2 Give a e-Coupon

We all love freebies and discounts. Offer e-coupon with a discount or a dollar value to purchase your products.

#3 Sell gift cards

This is a very popular sales surge tactics in the U.S. but not many Asia e-tailers are using this, which can substantially increase sales. Some e-tailers offer online gift cards for use online only whereas some are merging the use of online gift cards for both online and offline purchase.

#4. Send holiday promotions emails to website members

Make special holiday offers and discounts and email to your website member list. You can get instant sales from just sending one email. But NO SPAMS please. If you don’t have a list yet, find other websites which do have a member list and which share a similar target audience, and negotiate with them for a joint promotion to be sent to their lists.

#5 Offer Free Shipping

Survey has also shown free shipping to substantially increase online sales and conversion rate. You may offer limited time free shipping during holiday season and for order to be made before a certain date (to ensure that your product will arrive before the holiday), and subject to purchase of a miniumum amount.

If you can implement some of these tactics, you will surely see your online sales skyrocked!

If you can think of any other ways to increase holiday sales, don’t hesitate to leave your comments here.

 Who else wants to start making real money online from 26 Jan, 08?

Winny, our Hong Kong Web Designer and Consultant, just showed me a registration report for the next Hong Kong Internet marketing coaching class to commence on 26 January, 2008. It shows only TWO SEATS LEFT!  We really mean this as our computer lab is of limited capacility and we cannot accept more participant.

I am pretty sure that the remaining seats will be snatched up before next week. If you really want to start earning money on the Internet from 26 Jan, 08, you will need to take action to register now, and see if you can act fast enough to get in. Otherwise, you will have to wait for another 3 months for the next class to commence on 12 April, 08.

LATEST UPDATE (9:30pm):

The remaining seats have been taken this evening! If you really want to get in the Jan class, you may register and we will put you in the waiting list. For enquiries, call Winny at +852 2591 9168

Yes, eOneNet will be launching Asia’s 1st eBusiness Club in Hong Kong!

This is Asia’s first eBusiness Club formed by eOneNet’s coaching students, and managed by eOneNet.

Since eOneNet conducted the 1st Internet marketing coaching program in Malaysia in 2003, we have received numerous requests from graduates to form a students’ club from time to time. But due to time constraints, we have not been able to realise this idea.

After we have entered the Hong Kong Internet marketing scene since early last year, some zealous students raised the idea again and wanted to have some kind of networking platform after graduation.

We felt that the time is now ripe to launch the club in Hong Kong. To push this forward, we formed the 1st members’ committee to organise this. Our vision is not just to form a students’ association. The objectives are:

- To provide a continuing education platform for the members, with monthly education session on Internet business related topics

- To refer eBusiness and cross promote among members’ websites with the objectives of increasing online and offline sales

- To build links for members’ sites with the objectives of increasing search engines rankings

The 1st pre-launch meeting was conducted this week with resounding success, with some 30 eOneNet coaching students participating. The education slot was presented by Ryan Li, a Yahoo top seller award winner, who shared how to take good photos to be posted on websites.

The 2nd pre-launch meeting (attendance restricted to invited eOneNet coaching students only) will be held on 7 Jan, 08 at eOneNet Centre in Causeway Bay. If you are / were eOneNet coaching student and wish to get an invitation, pls let me know.

The Official Launch of the Club will be held on 30 Jan, 08. This is open to eOneNet coaching students and those who are referred by them.
