Internet Marketing Coach: RisingIMStar.com

Wow,

how time flies! I just realised that it’s been like 2 weeks since I last posted!
Every single day had been hectic for me.

After POE, I came down with serious illness of stomach flu, vomitting and all the crazy stuffs.
Then came the Internet Marketing Academy that burned my weekend last week and the preparation for the course.

Incredible. During IMA, there was one time that I spoke for 4 hours non-stop.
Wow, that was a real challenge for me. As I haven’t fully trained my voice well, I kinda falter at the last hour.

Also, as I’m trained as a toastmaster, my preparation was max for 40 minutes.
So therefore, my throat is hurthing like hell for me.

Even then, I have 2 personal coaching today, and I just finished a 3 hour coaching with one of the participants.
Wow, but I’m not complaining!

It’s really great that I’m now working on both of my passions.
Training AND Internet Marketing Business.

Sometimes, it irkes me to see people beginning Internet Marketing and focusing on things that don’t matters.
For example, the technical aspects of IM. No matter how much Stuart and I reframe, people just think that technical stuffs are the most important part of IM.

Look at it from this perspective, if being technically inclined can make you alot of money, then me, the technical specialist, and all the Indian programmers would be billionaires by now. And I would be hiring Stuart or Bill Gates instead. Right? It’s an interesting perspective don’t you think?

Okay, enough said, I’ll be going back to preparing to my second coaching session and more planning of work for the rest of the week.

Cheers and stay well my friends!

Love,
Ming Chern

Hey everyone,

it’s time for some SEO. I’ll be talking about some onpage SEO from the technical aspect of things leaning towards the wordpress.

As I’ve been using Wordpress for quite sometime, I’ve already like optimised them in some good ways.

Number One, your permalink needs to be SEO-optimised. If you go to Options: Permalinks,
and change the permalink to /%category%/%postname%/, you would need to choose the radio button to ‘Custom’

Wow, last weekend was really powerful.
It was my first Patterns Of Excellence coaching.

All I can say that it was simply awesome! When people first walked through the doors, they walked in with alot of reservations and unsure of what’s supposed to come. Throughout the 3.5 days, I’ve seen so many transformation with my group and at the end of the day, I saw them morph into the people that they want to.

But the most important thing of all was my wife went thru the camp too and I saw a great change in her.
She too walked through the doors with fear and anticipation, but after several gurelling days, she has transformed and there is now a certain aura around here. She’s become a much more confident person. Though she still is a bit slow today, but mostly because of the lack of sleep! hehehe….
I’m sure she knows it’s been beneficial for her.

Hmm, I can’t make sense of what I’m typing here, also due to the lack of sleep. 3 hours rest per day does throw you into the illusional state sometimes! hahaha…

I’m be posting more on IM tech stuffs very soon. Stay tuned!

I saw this from Kelvin’s Hui’s blog about the concept of Internet Marketing.

Screw the technology part of IM, screw everything else.
Understand the big picture and everything else is a breeze!

It was AWESOME! The subscribers nite held by Stuart Tan of InternetMarketingSingapore.com was a blowout man!
With a few heavyweight champions in the Internet Marketing world clocking high 5-digit income monthly coming in to share their experiences was an awesome experience.

Okay, I got saboed by Stuart at the last minute to go up as a technical speaker. Okay, in my opinion, I didn’t do too well. Ha! But hey, it was still fun as I don’t have those butterflies in the stomach talking on stage to alot of people. In fact, I kinda enjoyed it.

Though my presentation skills still needs to be improved and to have a better product knowledge.

Off stage, I’ve talked to alot of people and get to understand their IM journey and what they do. Though I realised that alot of issues faced can be resolved by using creative thinking.

For example, when ryan chua first began his bmw-sg.com forums, he printed car decals and literally created a viral campaign by putting it on the windscreen of every BMW they see. This offline approach works and that’s how he got his initial seed members.

Of cos this is an offline approach, but you can really create the same effect online too.

I remember I did some viral effect during Christmas last year. I did a 3 page powerpoint and gave it to all my friends.
On the first page, it said “Let’s play a game”
Second page says, “*** Big HUGS ***”
Third page says, “Now, pass this christmas spirit to as many friends as possible!”

I did this presentation in less than 15 minutes and it tripled my traffic in less than a week.

Of cos, I made the mistake of not being able to monetize off this effect as I drove them to my RisingIMStar.com
which is a totally wrong target market. But hey, no worries, cos this really works!

You can test this type of effect sometimes.

To come back to the subscribers nite and the people I’ve communicated with, always remember to do creative things.
Create a business system to make your income. I know this works.

Take care and stay well.
Till the next subscribers nite.

Cheers,
Ming Chern
