Andrew Boey - Andew Boey's Life and Marketing Blog

Time really files. It is the 3rd Asia Internet Congress already. I really started my Internet Marketing Journey after the 2nd Asia Internet Congress and I have to say the journey has been very challenging but I am so glad I took action.

Now I have the skills to integrate online and offline to build businesses that are able to generate me multiple streams of passive income in the shortest period of time.

Besides learning the necessary skills, I have also created new friendships and build up my network to greater heights. So for those who would like to start your internet business journey and have me around to guide you. Feel free to join me at Asia Internet Congress 2009

I'll also be having a gathering after that to help you understanding Internet Marketing better and to get started if you are want to.

Day 3 is the last day, This time we had 4 speakers and was a very long day from 9am to 10pm. In the morning was PPC(Pay Per Click), basically refering to Google Adwords where you have to pay to advertise. If you want fast traffic, nothing beats PPC, but of course you have to make sure you learn the skill first, otherwise you might end up burning money fast. PPC is definately for people who already have businesses.

The afternoon speakers talked mostly of the overall integration of the various systems together and how everyone need to get past your own personal barrior of fear. e.g. could be fear from failure, fear from rejection etc.

Fabian ended off with his specialisation of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), which is a very specialised technique and skill to acquire. It complements PPC as well, as when you do a Google Search, the left side displays the Organic search which depends on SEO, and the right side displays Paid search which depends on PPC. I feel that these two components of Internet Marketing are the most important as 80% of the world uses Google as a search engine and is the first place that people go when they get online.

After the Presentation, Fabian awarded the Best Speaker Award to Ben!! and he also announced the Price Winners for the Affiliates Competition. 1st Price was $1000, 2nd = $750, 3rd = $300, 4th = $200...etc. I was very suprised that I won 4th Place!!

So overall it was a really enjoyable Congress, and have learnt a lot more things on Internet Marketing. Year 2009 is going to be an awesome year for me, With my little girl, Naomi, coming out in March 09 and the growth of my various business.

Today was the first day at Asia Internet Congress 2008. It was really good. Fabian Lim, speaker and organiser introudcued the various speaker at the beginning. This was followed by an introduction to Internet Marketing. There is a 5 Step process, where Step 1 is the most important step. I'll briefing describe step 1 & 2 at the end of the post. We also had time to talk to the various speakers and learning from them by asking the relavant questions relating to their speciality. I definately gained great insight to the mistakes I made while learning Internet Marketing.

The rest of the afternoon, the various speakers talked about their systems of making moneyonline, one is through blogging, one is creating a membership website with monthly subscriptions. As this is the first day of AIC, I'll summarise the important stuffs at the end of the Congress. So see you tomorrow, I will talk briefly about the 5 Step process and give you a start-up plan to Take Action. Click Read More Button.

"Result is achieved only through Taking Action, otherwise it is still No Results or you end up giving Excuses."

Step 1 - Peform Market Research
Step 2 - Website Creation
Step 3 - Traffic Generation
Step 4 - Focus on Sales Effort
Step 5 - Automation & Tacking

I can say I have a lot of times missed up step 1. One thing I learnt from marketing is that you think you may have a great idea on something that can help people, it is not necessarily what the market wants. If the markets does not want what you provide, you are going to be broke!!

So I stress the importance of step 1, and so does all the speakers at AIC. I will dive briefly into Step 1, so to do your market research, the best is to use Google Adwords Search Tool (www. freeadwordstool.com). Below are the basic steps:

Step 1 - Peform Market Research
1. Google Adwords Search Tool
2. Select country of target (i.e. which demographics you are targeting)
3. Do a general keyword search (e.g. golf)
4. See if market exist by looking at the search volume
5. Do a further search to find your traget niche

Once your keyword research is done, you need to find similar products related to your target niche.

You can find these from:

1. Clickbank - www.clickbank.com
2. Comission Junction - www.cj.com

Step 2 - Website Creation
Upon creating your content and finding your compliment products to sell. The next Step is to create your website. To create your website you need a hosting service to store your website.  I recommend getting it from HostGator. They are One of the World's Top 10 Largest Web Hosting, and comes with Free Website Builder & 4,500+ Free Website Templates to choose from, plus many more features.

I recommend you register for the Baby Program @US$7.95/mth if you are starting out new.

Once you registered for your hosting plan, it is time to get your domain name.It is strongly suggested that you find a domain name with your keyword inside if you are marketing something. Of course, if you are creating a blog of yourself to talk about yourself, then just go ahead and get your own name as the Domain.

You can get this @ GoDaddy



*Remember to change the DNS to direct it Host Gator

And lastly the last step for website creation is creating your actual website. The recommend program is XSite Pro. As much as your hosting plans comes with free website builder, it is not really optimised for Internet Marketing. You really have create your own or of course outsource it, but it is good to get your hands dirty at first and go through the learning process. =)
