Ewen then started of Day 2 focusing on traffic generation. He covered traffic generation method using Facebook Ads, Twitter and Article Marketing. Throughout the sessions he demonstrated how to use each of these mediums to generate traffics. He also shared how he generates traffics to some of his own live site.

Ewen then outline his new Cloning Program that provides a sort of Internet-In-A-Box kind of solution to the attendees. The idea is that it is easy for a newbie to clone his mentor and do as they rather than to reinvent the wheel.  This program consists of 8 components that fast track a potential Internet Business newbies to make money on the Internet. It cover components like email marketing, auto website building, using social media for traffic generation, a two-days live workshop, 2 follow up coaching session and unlimited mentoring and support.

Due to the nature of the logistic require supporting this type of program, he can only limit this to the first 50 persons who sign up. As in any program that Ewen launch it is so popular that it almost sold out before the end of the day.

After lunch, Patric come on to speak on how to create a lifestyle business. He demonstrated how he uses YouTube to generate traffic. He also touches on what are the kinds of video that will attract viewing and what are some of the tricks and gotchar to create the videos.

He then focused on how blogging can generate income from the Internet. He shows some example of his auto-blogging site that consistently made money for him. I was pretty excited when I see that he is covering auto-blogging as I am already doing it myself. This validates that I have chosen the right approach to try to make money on the Internet.

Patric then proceed to explain how the attendees can do auto blogging through his MASS System. This is kind of a “set and forget system” when the student can learn how to create auto-blogging sites and then flip it in FLIPPA to generate income.

The last session of Day 2 is where Ewen and Patric share what they called the secrets of the Internet Business millionaire.  The go through 5 factors why many of the Internet Business millionaires are able to achieve the state where they are now and how do they get to the next level and continue to make money. As a respect to the presenters requests not to share this publicly I will not disclose the 5 factors in this post.

Overall I think this is an excellent seminar as it shows you the ways to market on the internet, how to make money online and proven methods and tricks to help you succeed in the Internet Business. As mentioned by Patric, Internet marketing doesn’t have to be complicated. It is just a simple things to grasp but it become complex when you have to do it on your own due to information overload and don’t understand the core principle of it. This seminar shows you the key secret is to simplify the steps, follow the proven methods and consistently improve on your system.

The seminar also confirms the fact that you don’t have to know all the strategies to make money online. Just follow the latest methods of generating income from the Internet Business as demonstrated by both Ewen and Patric. Even though I am already familiar with many of the concepts and methods presented, I still think the information are very valuable for me because it confirmed my understanding on how to do Internet Marketing and it validated my learning experiences are on the right track.

I will be applying some of the ideas and tricks that I have learned to some of my own websites. I highly recommend anyone who want to have a head start to Internet Business attend this seminar if it ever come to you region.

Both of the presenters have on offer their own Internet Marketing program during the seminar.  Between two I would take up Ewen program as I think it is a better option for me. Also the fact that I am already doing auto blogging so it doesn’t make any financial senses for me to take up Patric’s program. I am waiting for their next seminar to be held in Kuala Lumpur to sign up for Ewen’s Cloning Program.

So overall I think the seminar has achieved it objectives except for one. The tagline of the seminar stated that “See A Profitable Internet Business Created LIVE in Front of Your Eyes!” I think they should remove the word profitable from the tagline.

The agenda of the seminar is follow:

The first day started with both Ewen and Patric sharing on their stories on how they get started in the Internet Business.  They then go into what are the mindsets required to be successful in this business. 

Ewen then walked through the general flow of how an Internet Business works.  These morning sessions were done mostly on the fly. Both of them have not prepared any presentation materials or scripts. Key concepts are drawn on the flip charts to demonstrate the concepts.

After lunch, Ewen started the first live demo on affiliate marketing. He shows us how to use Clickbank and how affiliate link work. He then shows us how to create a simple squeeze page to build a list. From there he shows how he uses his autoresponder to capture the visitor name and email address. After that he shows us how to upload the squeeze page to one of his domain and make the page live. Finally he demonstrated how the squeeze page work and how the visitors are bought to the merchant sales page.

Patric then come on stage to discuss some ways to enhance on the conversion rate of the squeeze page, through the use of free reports or eBooks. He shows us a simple way on how to create a simple free report using free contents from EzineArticles.com.

He also discuss briefly on what are the key contents of a good sales page. He uses the webpage of this Internet Business seminar as an example to illustrate what are the different elements of copy writing of a good sales page.

At the end of the 1^st day, both Ewen and Patric answered questions fielded from some of the attendees.

As someone who learn about Internet Business from free online information and from a few Internet Business information products. I think I now have a better understanding of how Internet Business works. The live session on day 1 confirm all the learning that I had over the years and validated that the knowledge and skills I have now can help me to progress further in my Internet Business.

My thought about the content of day 1 is that they are adequate. Having gone through the process of creating squeeze page of my own trying to sell Clickbank products, I can relate to the flow of the Internet Business model that were demonstrated. Of course it is easier for Ewen as he was using his own Clickbank products and sales page for the demonstration. However he has demonstrated the whole process of how to do affiliate marketing to the attendees in straight forward way.

One advantage of attending such a live event is that you can finally see prove of the monetary gain of a successful Internet Marketer. Ewen actually login into his PayPal account and shows the attendees the amount of money he made as an affiliate of Hostgator. He also login to his autoresponder account and show us some of the lists that he has built. It is no wonder that it is so easy for him to make money on the Internet Marketing niche because the total number of subscribers he used for the demo alone is more than half a million. He has more than one autoresponder service providers and he mentioned that his total subscriber is more than 800,000! Now that is the power of having a big list and convinced me that list building is the very first step to Internet Marketing.

I also like the fact that the content of this Internet Business seminar is slightly technical in nature. This ensures that we focus on the “how to” component of an Internet Business rather than focus on explanation of each of the component. Both the presenters also emphasized that the core technical training will only be provided through another workshop as part of their new Internet Marketing program. I am happy with this kind of arrangement as it allows me to focus on the how rather learning about the basic skills like WordPress, hosting, domain name, DNS etc.

When I signed up for this event, the sales copy of the Live Internet Business website stated very clearly that they will only do this once and they will not be repeating this event anymore. But when Patric open up the same page again today, I saw that they have planned the same event for Malaysia. If I knew this is the case, I would have just stay home and waited for that event to come to me. Well at least I understand now that the copy writing of that sales page really worked. It convinced me that there will not be another one and I fall for it. So this is one of the biggest learning points I get out of this event for day 1.

Patric mentioned during the event that they have almost sold out the event planned for Malaysia. If you have not attended an Internet Business seminar before and you are in Malaysia, go to this page to see if there are still any slots available. I highly recommend you make a plan to attend this event.

So far everything I have learned about Internet Business has been from free resources available on the Internet. I have also purchased several Internet Information products that teach me how to set up a website and autoblog. Since I am a techie I have been able to pick up all the necessary information and skills to start venturing in this Internet Business. However I have no way to validate what I know and what I have done so far is the right way or not. Maybe that’s the reason why I am still struggling in terms of financial goal because I have not cracked the code on how to do it properly.

Attending a live Internet Business seminar by an Internet Marketing Guru has always been my dream. However almost all the good Internet Business seminars are held in the United States so it becomes very cost prohibitive to even consider to attend one. Over the years I have received several emails on Live Internet Business seminar from Internet Marketing Guru like Frank Kern, Mark Joyner, and Tellman Knudson. However the costs of the seminar alone will already cost more than the airfare for me just to fly over there. As a newbie, there is just no way for me to justify the cost to attend any one of these seminars.

I have been a subscriber to Ewen Chia email list ever since I started so I have been following his work online. When his email on his live Internet Business seminar came in today, I jumped at the opportunity. He has teamed up with Patric Chan to host a two days Live Internet Business seminar. I have not heard of Patric Chan before but the fact that Ewen Chia is co-hosting this event is already good enough a reason for me. The is just no better way to learn from a guru who has done is all and now that he is going to (hopefully) review his secrets of his success live, this alone should already cover the cost of the event, which incidentally is only US$67. This is a steal from a education cost perspective.

Even though he will be holding his seminar in Singapore which is 4 hours drive from my home, I felt that this is too good an opportunity to be missed. All in the total cost for this trip is going to be more than 10 times cheaper compared to if I were to attend one in the United State. I immediately sign up for this seminar and booked the hotel on the same day. This is my commitment to further my Internet Business education and I have taken the action. Now I am just eagerly waiting for that day to come when I will be seeing Ewen and Patric in actions. I do need to find out more about Patric Chan today.

Update: I didn’t know that Patric Chan is my fellow country man. I have no idea how I have never come across him or his internet business venture. I must find a way to keep myself more updated on the local Internet Business communities.

The Google Toolbar has an button for “Cached snapshot of page” which can show you a snapshot of your website that has been cached by Google. One use of this feature is to see what Google see on your site. By looking at the text information display by the “cached snapshot”, you can make changes to your website to improve the SEO aspect of your site.

When I tried the “cached snapshot of page” on one of my site last week, I saw that Google has cached a snapshot of that site which I have recently changed completely. At first I thought this must be due to the timing but after reviewing the text information displayed, I realized that Google has not cached the revamped site at all because as far as Google is concern, it is only seeing the URL of the pop under ad.

I had installed a script for monster splash recently on this website and this ad actually took over my website completely. The URL displayed on the browser is the URL of the ad and the title displayed is no longer my website but the ad title. I saw it when I first implemented the script but I don’t understand the implication then. Now that I have use the “cached snapshot of the page” feature I finally know got it. and that’s the reason why Google has not cached a snapshot of my revamped website at all for the last month or so because it didn’t see my site instead it see the site of the ad all the time.

I quickly removed the pop under ads scripts from all my websites and now Google bot is correctly caching a snapshot of my revamped website. I just check again as I write this post and Google bot has just crawled my site and captured a snapshot just two hours ago.

If you are actively using pop under ad, please make sure that the URL and the title displayed in your browser is that of your website and not from the ad itself.

Not that I have seen how Google is “seeing” my site, the other way to improve the SEO of the site is really to look at an SEO optimized theme. That will be my next target.

Hope this help.

Instead of spending time on more learning and research, I started building make money mini sites. It was a little bit hard at the beginning but once I completed one of the mini-site, the other is so much easier. With the mind set of focusing on speed of execution I am able to complete my planned task for this week within the timeframe I set for myself. I am very happy to say that whatever I have learned so far have helped me in completing the tasks.

The first mini-site I put up is called the Fully Automated Mini Site. The idea is that anyone who purchase the same mini-site can set up the same mini site then sell it.

The mini-site package will be sold for only $6.99 and the buyer would then put up the package for sell for the same price. Once the buyer click on the “Buy Now” button and completed the payment via Paypal.com, he/she will be brought to a BackOffice web page where the mini-site package can be downloaded.

On the BackOffice webpage, instructions on how to purchase a domain, web hosting, and modification of the html files are provided.

To help the buyer to drive traffics to the mini site, different marketing tools are also provided including banner ads, text ads, Adwords ads, list of safelists, traffic exchanges, marketing forums, list of search engine to submit to, etc. This mini-site package has been designed to provide step-by-step process such that the buyer can set up a mini-site for sell and drive traffic to it.

As a token of appreciation I have also included in the BackOffice web page some free gifts consisting of 3 PLR eBooks. I have also included additional write up on how to optimize the mini-site package so that the buyer can obtain more moneys from referral links which is not including in the original mini-site pacakge.

My next task to promote my own fully-automated mini site is to drive traffics to it.

I am looking forward to making more money with this mini-site.

The second site is a squeeze page for list building. Visitor who enter their name and primary email address will be able to download a free eBook that describe a step-by-step system for adding 100 leads (or more) to their list every single day.

This eBook also provide informaton on how to get high-quality traffic to your squeeze page for free and how to automate your listbuidling and get a steady stream of leads every day without any extra work.

If you would like to have a copy of this eBook for free, you can download it from here.

Cheers

The first two articles were submitted without any problem so I thought this is good. The third article has some issue and I got an email from the reviewer but it doesn’t mention what was the issue. I responded to them accordingly but then I did not receive any feedback from them so I thought I’ll wait for them to reply before I make any changes.

In the meantime I wrote the 4^th article and submitted it for review. It didn’t occurred to me that putting in a squeeze page into the resource box will be consider a form or marketing. Anyway the squeeze page I put into the resource box is actually a free eBook on how to start your first blog. However the reviewer doesn’t see it that way and considered it as not relevant. Given that squeeze page is a single page that is simple and straight to the point, it cannot be use in your resource box.

This are the guideline that was invoked by the reviewer on my resource box.

Issue 1 (Section 2.f xv)
http://EzineArticles.com/editorial-guidelines.html#2-f-xv

Websites must be active and have content in order for you to link to them from your article. Please edit the included URL(s) so that they lead to an active and informative website.
 
Issue 2

Your article has been placed in problem status for linking to a page consisting primarily of advertising and/or your landing page does not contain enough informative content. In order to ensure a quality user experience, we can only accept links which direct to pages which are content-rich beyond advertising and products for sale. Please edit your article to link directly to the content-rich pages on your site, or edit the link to add additional informative content and resubmit for review.

I didn’t get the email informing me about this “violation” until two days later. The reason being my PC crashed so I had to go out and find the replacement parts. By the time I got back online my account was already suspended. Apparently the standard practice is that if the article submitter didn’t response within 48 hours, they will be put into a suspended state.

Well this is really something new to me so I have learned my lesson.

If you are new to article marketing, be careful what you put in the resource box. I have been reading on many eBooks on article marketing and none of them mentioned this. Check their guidelines if you are in in doubt

I have written to Ezine Article problem resolution center and asking for my account to be reactivated and that I have made the necessary changes to my resource box.

Hopefully I will be able to submit more articles soon.

Well the computer store personnel called today and told me that it was the graphic card that is faulty and the motherboard is still intact. I was surprised at this finding because the motherboard is already 2 years old while the graphic card was only bought a month ago. I would expect that when the power supply unit blown that if there is any spike in power it may affect the motherboard more than the graphic card. Well it look like the quality of the Asus motherboard is definitely better than the Gigabytes graphic card.

This finding is really out of my expectation. I was hoping that it is the motherboard that is faulty so I have a good excuse to upgrade the motherboard to one with the P45 chipset. Now that the graphic card is found to be faulty it changed my plan all together. Given that most of the newer motherboard doesn’t come with any onboard graphic adapter anymore, without the graphic card means you can’t connect to the monitor so your PC is still not usable.

Also we have a very strange warranty system in this part of the world that annoyed me. The current practice of almost all computer parts dealers is that if you return the parts within 7 days, they will give you a one-to-one replacement. Beyond 7 days, they will return the parts back to the main dealer and let the dealer decided on the replacement. They might also charge you a small sum for the delivery of the parts and this whole process take one month, standard practice as claim by them. Both the graphic card and the power supply unit I returned the other day fall into this category. So my choice is either wait for the warranty to be processed and get the replacement part or have no access to the Internet for one month.

Can you imagine someone venturing into Internet Marketing space without the most important tool? Yes without the PC you have not web presence and you cannot drive traffic to your website. I have no choice but to buy another graphic card in the mean time and reassembled the PC. I am now back online but still pretty sore with the warranty system.

My next challenge is try to recover my Vista partition. Most of my commonly used tools and the most commonly visited websites are stored in this partition. If I can’t get it back then I’ll have to go through all my emails again to find them. In the meantime I will have to work on my Windows 7 partition and try to recreate as much of the information as possible so that I can continue with my daily routine.

Reflecting back on the past two weeks I felt like I have hit some major roadblocks. But I got up and get around it. This is just the small obstacle and I will continue to learn from this hiccup and focus on the main goal ahead.

Success is about attitude. I am not going to give up. I’ll get up every time I fall and I’ll get stronger.

I will continue my journey according to my plan.
