Every successful internet marketer must have a marketing plan to suit their personality and time.

Below is a short questionnaire to help you formulate your own internet marketing plan.

1. What are the things that drive you?
2. What are the things that will drain you out very fast?
3. How would you plan your daily schedule?
4. How much time would you allocate to marketing actions per day?
5. How do you deal with stress?
6. What are the things that motivate you?
7. Who do you normally associate with?
8. How do you feel when people discourage you?
9. How do you deal with distractions from marketing work? (television, games, MSN, etc.)
10. Do you feel that there is not enough time for you to act on your marketing plan everyday?

Knowing things that drive you would give you the motivation for marketing actions.

For many people, money is the main drive that propels them forward. But they forgot that money is just a piece of paper unless it is exchanged for goods and services.

Avoiding the things that drain you is another way to be a successful internet marketer. A marketer has to be focused. Therefore, exercising and eating healthily will contribute to your well being and grant you more energy.

As the old saying goes 20% of our efforts account for 80% of our results. We need to focus our energy on the things that could fetch us results instead of letting yourself get distracted.

Just back home a few days and I saw a question in my inbox from one of my subscribers.

Question:
————
What is The Fastest Way to Become Successful Online?

Answer:
————–
Get a mentor!

Studies have shown for years that it is insanely impossible for people to become successful unless they find the formula.

They have two ways to do that:

1. Do it the hard way.

Read a lot of books. Go through the whole painful trial and error process.

There’s a major problem with that – Internet Marketing changes quickly and broadly because of the networking capabilities. One minute, they’re all headed right, the next, they’ve wheeled and are heading left.

2. The best education you can find is through a mentor.

You need to find someone who has already been in the market place for a while. Learn from them, ask them to coach you, as well as follow their full guidance.

While a mentor can’t do your homework for you or teach you everything you need to know, you have the benefit of the experience and wisdom of someone who’s walked the walk you are beginning.

Which one is easier?

Of course, I would rather have someone to coach me, kick my butt and tell me to do this, this, and that.

To be true with you, I am the student of John Thornhill’s Masterclass at the moment though I am not a newbie. I would rather have someone to coach me than figuring everything on my own.

I strongly believe he will take my online business to the next level and you will see the rise of an average Joe, that is me!

You have a choice to either do things the hard way or the easier way. Do remember that regardless what you choose, your time is limited.

I think some of you might be in my shoe before as a newbie.

After I attended my first internet marketing workshop, I learnt the overview, some  tactics and strategies of internet business. However, when I wanted to launch my site (of course, there was a  long story to learn how to create a simple site), I did not know how to do it even I’ve bought the hosting account & registered a domain (honestly, I did not even know a software called FTP,  :oops: ).

I was so desperate that I signed up a MLM program as my up-line agreed to teach me.

Here is a simple illustration to understand what DNS is:

Setting up DNS is nothing but adding DNS information (provided by your Hosting account) into your Domain account.

I’ve prepared a step-by-step screen shots to show how to edit or setup the DNS. Here is the link to learn DNS setup.

This is the hub where your website will reside. Do not use free hosting services as their support system will not be up to par with the paid services.

At the beginning stages, you do not need an expensive hosting for your business. Instead, FOCUS on two things to consider for hosting account…

1. Allow for an unlimited amount of “Add on” domains AND gives you a separate “cpanel” for each domain.
2. Take into consideration the bandwidth and disk space you will need before deciding on the package to purchase.

What is “Add on” domains?
An addon domain allows you to reach a sub-domain when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser. This means that you can host additional domains from your account.

What is “cpanel”?
Cpanel is the control panel for your hosting to control and manage your files and site information.

What is bandwidth?
Bandwidth is the amount of data you need when people come to your website, download your products, watching videos, and etc.

What is disk space?
Disk Space is the amount of data you can store on your server.
As long as you focus your attention on these features, the rest of the features are NOT that important.

You can find a lot of hosting companies available on the internet but if you’re looking for recommendation:

Go to HostGator.com and get a “baby” plan for $9.95, It is one of the cheapest on the planet.

NOTE: I am NOT here to advertise you anything. It is true that I may make commission if you buy from it, but I am an ACTUAL customer.

Question:
————
I know some of my friends using Blogger to sell physical items. Should I use this type of free service for my website to save money?

Answer:
————–
To start up, you have to first buy a domain name ie www._________.com. Bear in mind, this is similar to the name of your “shop”.

One of the biggest mistakes people make would be to use free services such as blogger to set-up their websites. They will tell you their website URL is http://________.blogspot.com.

If you look onto this URL carefully, this URL is focusing on the company named blogspot.com instead of advertise your business. This way, they are able to make the money by selling their companies to big online firms.

Bear in mind

Opening a Free domain account Absolutely NOT helping your business

Two Keys in Choosing Your Domain Name:

There are a lot of domain name registrars where you can get your domain name. If you’re looking for recommendation, go to NameCheap.com for their good support and low ‘Whois’ privacy protection fee as compare to others.

Question : What is ‘Whois’ privacy protection?

Answer   : ‘Whois’ privacy protection fee will keep your personal information from the public to protect your privacy. You will have less chance to get spamming.

Please comment and I would like to hear from you.

I like to start with a story first.

———-

There was a man named Jimmy. He was a determined young man. He wanted to succeed in life. Jimmy was only 24 years old. He worked as a computer technician. He did ok, made a little money, but wanted much more!

Jimmy purchased a success book titled, “Think and Grow Rich!”…

He read the book but did not understand much of what was said. However, he heard about this book often and knew it was one of the best books ever written for achieving Riches!

Everyday after work, Jimmy read the book – over and over again. He also subscribed to various success magazines and often invested in success products.

Jimmy tried a few money-making-methods and made a few bucks here and there… nothing spectacular or life changing…

At one point, Jimmy decided he wanted to go into business for himself, and started his own computer repair shop. He went on a shoestring, borrowed some money from the bank, maxed out some credit cards, and eventually put the business out-of-business.

What gives?

He read all those books, studied all he could, but failed.

What’s next? He then goes and gets a job. However, something is pulling at Jimmy. He still believes he has what it takes and continues reading more success books.

Eventually, Jimmy finds himself attending a seminar where the speaker pitches him on a money-making-opportunity!

He decides to pursue this opportunity on the side, while working his business. He does ok, recruits some people, makes a little bit of money and tries to remain dedicated…

He recruited about 20 people into this business and has sold a few thousand dollars worth of products. All seems well. However, he spends a great deal of time helping those 20 people.

He hears all sorts of excuses as to why these people are not doing well themselves. One by one, he goes from 20 down to 19, 18, 15, 9, 3 and then none.

All of that work gone.

So, now he decides to move on and leave that opportunity behind…

A few years pass and Jimmy has kept learning, kept trying and kept failing…

Eventually, Jimmy cashes in! He eventually comes up with an idea he loves and has experience in, and this business just takes off! He’s making serious money now and is quite successful…Finally!

He’s done it. I guess you can say that his ship has come in… He looks back and smiles from ear to ear knowing that it was a journey getting where he is now. But, the journey was well worth it!

As Jimmy visits his parents, and drives up in his shinny new luxury car…

His father says, “Wow! I can not believe this is the same person who visited us a year ago!”

I hope you got my point here. It is the cumulative actions and choices that make up one’s destiny – or results!

When I first started my online business, I jumped around from one thing to another and did not making any decisions. Time was simply just wasted until I learn to take consistent and focused actions.

The richest people in our world are some of the most studied and carefully analysed people there are. The rich people represent a microscopic percentage of the overall population.

The rich represent our dreams, our goals and our aspirations.

This applies to online business as well.

If getting success is something you want, then what you need to do is find the footprints, and follow them.

…Because, success and wealth leaves footprints.

This is the advice that I constantly receive from some of the internet marketers that I trusted.

I’ve taken the advice and follow a list of marketers. My job is to find the footprints, analyze and understand them. Once I have the formula, then, I will implement it.

At this point, I can tell you that becoming success is a matter of choice. It is a matter of focus and it is a matter of taking consistent action towards your goals.

Besides Henry Gold who got me the first taste of selling products online via Giveaway event, another Internet Marketer who has guided me a lot to get started is John Delavera.

One of the things I like about what John had created was his dedicated personal effort to help people succeed. I remember his style of helping people was recognized by Mark Joyner, the “father” of the internet marketing, and invited John to be his partner during middle of last year.

John has 2 important workbooks for beginners, “The Big Yellow Book” and “The Blue Book”. These 2 workbooks cover a lot of his personal experiences on how he became an internet marketing guru. There are many internet marketing practices that you need to know and practise right from the beginning.

These 2 workbooks not only helped me to shorten my learning curve, but also guide me to do the right things and do them right. The better you know, the easier your path to success will be.

“The Yellow Book” is free to download, unfortunately, “The Blue Book” is only available to the member of Turbo membership. If you happen to own these 2 books and practise them, you will agree with me.

I have been in John’s Turbo membership since starting my online business. The member can assess to most of the tools, knowledge and to run an income generating business. These are 3 important components allow me to start immediately.

The “Tools” are refer to over 250 hot, best selling products that pay me 95% commissions (not a typo ). This is the easier ways for me, as a beginner.

Beside, I get brand new products every single month with private label rights, so I never run out of new things to sell. On top of that, there are over 200 more products I can get for free as a member via a point-system.

Knowledge – I can access to the “Turbo University” where I’m shown exactly how to set up the proven Turbo marketing system.

Community – There are people, both peers and mentors, ready to help me any day of the week.
