Money...Money...Money...

Hi, all!

How's your weekend? I'd like to greet "Happy Easter" to those who celebrate it. I hope you get to experience a fabulous Easter this year with your whole family.

I also experience a wonderful weekend. Why? I just earned my commission!! He..he..I checked my e-mail and found out that I am qualified to earn USD 93. Not bad at all for an IM newbie like myself.

Frankly speaking, just a few months ago, I didn't know what IM is all about. I even had some kind of skeptical thougths about it. But, I didn't want to jump into conclusions. So, I started to find more info about IM and tried to start learning about it. I finally concluded that IM has a really good prospect in the future and it is still manageable even for a busy person like me!

Now, after a few months of learning, I can see a shed of light at the end of the tunnel. I can see that there is an opportunity to earn money through IM, for sure! No doubt about it. It is important not to get too excited. We have to make sure that we're on the right path and learning from the right people.

Not all of IM resources out there are good. You have to be aware that there are some people who want to take advantage of this and they tend to cheat on you. For example, if you want to join an affiliate program, you have to investigate the profile of the merchant (how reputable), how good is the product, how they calculate your commission, how they pay it, etc. I am not saying that you have to be paranoid. All I'm saying is you have to be cautious. That's all..

So, again, happy easter! Let's continue our journey towards online success!

How To Get Started Without Having Your Own Product..Cool!

Hi, friends.
I'd like to share another info with you today. I attended another seminar on January 27, 2007. The topic was "The Super Affiliate Program Road Map" presented by Yeo KeeHuat. It was a cool thing to learn! Basically, he shared his experiences in internet marketing on how to start the business without having our own product. He is currently earning his money from the internet only by being an affiliate marketer!

Who is Yeo KeeHuat? He's a well-known full-time internet marketer trainer in Asia. He has been actively involved in internet arena since 2000 and his income has sky-rocketed since 2004 after mastering the skills and techniques in generating big money from the internet marketing. Previously, he was just like any of us struggling days and nights trying to figure out how to earn tons of money while sleeping. He has been coached by many of world renowned internet marketing gurus. That way, he can show us the shortcut to his learning path. Later, I will share some of his tips from the seminar.

Firstly, we have to understand what affiliate marketing is. Actually, it is something that most of you are familiar with. Yup! It's the classic way of doing business. You sell someone else's products and if you get sales or generate leads/actions, then you'll receive commissions! Due to our updated technology, now we can do that particular method online through the internet. Isn't that wonderful? It saves a lot of time & energy! An example of a successful affiliate is eBay affiliate. You know eBay, right?

Well, here are some basic things you need to know :
An affiliate marketer (affiliate/associates/program partners) is the person who sells other people's products.

An affiliate merchant is the person who owns the products.

An affiliate program is the program set up by the merchant where you can sign-up and be one of his/her affiliate marketer.

An affiliate link is a URL link given by the merchant for you to promote online and generate people to visit and do actions (filling in forms, buy products, etc). The link is unique for each affiliate marketer, so that the merchant knows exactly who made the sales.

Okay? Do you get the idea now?
