State
Of The Internet Address
First
and foremost, We want to say a big THANK
YOU for getting to know us through Internet
Mastery Center. You could have bumped into us by happenstance
or someone referred you here...Judging by the site you might even
think we have not been around for a long time...but how long we
hang around on the Net does not compare with the insistence to
provide GREAT value to YOU as a subscriber.
That's
what we will continually do and YOU should practice the
habit too! More and more newcomers are bucking the trend
to lead a well-balanced life of work and play by living at home,
not at the workplace! The market for Internet Marketing
is huge! Who says it's over-saturated? Have you forgotten
India, China, Russia...We think not even Europe's market is half
as mature as US.
You
may ask, "What about the language barrier? How can we get the message across when they don't understand English
too well?" English will persist to be lingua franca of global
business communication, but for the moment here is a godsend answer: Babel
Fish Translation. Try out the effectiveness of its auto-translation
and see for yourself how YOU can tap in markets never imagined
before...
We
have been thinking about China and India for some time now. For
example, we do understand the heavy Internet users out of the
young Chinese adults today often express their political opinions
in forums during their free time. The market is ripe for ALL OF
US to turn their attention to the idea of doing business
and doing it online! If the Chinese or Indians can tune
their mindset for online prosperity, there's no prob with cultural
barriers too.
No
auto-translation is perfect, but by far Babel
Fish Translation is very accurate and we are pleased with
its Chinese translation though we are not masters of the language.
YOU should engage a friend for help as you go through your own
translation activities.
Back
to the habit of offering great value. Notice the topmost title
"A Moment Of Sharing"? We initially wanted to call the
newsletter "WASSUP!!!" but that's sounds like grandma
drinking too much Coca-cola (any of you seen that TV ad?). A title
like AMOS promotes intimacy and connection with
your subscribers. YOU, Sir and Ma'am, are not potential
customers to us; YOU are our Partners. YOUR success
is our success. If there's nothing we can help you to
improve, we are incurring a loss.
HINT:
Take this strategy with you and emulate it. Create a newsletter title for yourself that connects i.e. "Between
YOU and Me", "YOUR Special Web Tidbits" etc.
We
once came across a European Marketer's remark that "it amazes
me to see these Americans hard-selling at least one item every time they send a mail."
Have
you heard an 'old saying' that a consistent 3% sales response
(repeat or otherwise) on your current list is a success at any
parts of the year? Truth is, there are MORE people who
won't like to be sold at at any parts of the
year. We beg to differ that the solution does not entirely
lies in direct-response marketing, only to have more
products to pile on YOUR subscribers. Let's ask ourselves: How
long do we think we can generate repeat sales from someone until
he/she realizes he/she hasn't found the breakthrough to do something
great for him/herself and decided to quit from our lists?
So before your subscribers can quit
from your list, it would be better for you to take the initiative
and elevate them into partners FIRST so that
you all can generate ever-lasting opportunities and activities
for many years to come. Instead of the usual 'musings'
and 'ramblings', we guess it's time to pick up the habit of asking
questions more frequently to create a momentum for closer interaction
with your list, and thereafter a new pathway
for your online business into the future.
There...we
hope this State Address does not ramble away. We aim to keep each
Shout as short and sharp as possible since you
are clearing lots of mail, but whatever tips and techniques you
can find in here, by all means, take them away with you
or forward our Shouts to your friends. We look forward
to opening up endless new opportunities for your
profitable online future, ours and all aspiring netrepreneurs
around the globe.
Keep
your eyes on the prize folks, and THINK BIG! God bless.

Resource
Recommendation
It's
not necessarily a downloadable file every time this section pops
up. We are participants of an Internet Marketing Yahoogroup wherein
people help one another out with suggestions and advice. Recently
someone ask about getting traffic to her site.
Well, this has been asked countless of times and we simply wrote
her this:
"Hello,
This mail contains a more philosophical approach to drawing traffic.
First of all, whatever techniques that are conjured up by the
minds of Man are already out there in 2 locations:
1) On the Internet. You can invest in them or
get them for free...IF you know where you can find them.
2) In your hard disk. Whatever resources you
have with you right now, don't let them park somewhere in your
disk. Open them up and follow their instructions.
The truth is every single one of us are:
1) either anxious to have hundreds of visitors
per day,
2) or clueless at which of the one-thousand-and-one
ways to drawing traffic are most reliable,
3) under-appreciate the more significant importance of converting
traffic into sales, which must be the biggest primary
motivation, because people can walk in and out of your site in
as much time as they do to a shop where they CAN'T find anything
useful.
Do not be anxious about tomolo. Just keep working
on whatever resources you have now, maintain a steady pace according
to plan (that does not mean rushing), and in 3 standard
years I can guarantee all of you will no longer be where
you are today even if you have not reached the ideal definition
of success. This still applies whether you are online or not."
Internet
Marketing Center has more than 100 members and counting (up!).
Join us, introduce yourself on how you come about knowing this
group, tell us what do you want to gain out of participating in
this group and be a part of this family where we give, take and
prosper!
To
Your Virtual Success,
Nelson Tan
