[P154]Pc World Internet Security

by Sherman Choo, She

I was contacted the other day by a lady who had been contemplating whether or not to sign up for an internet marketing course. Since such courses are usually not cheap, with a price tag of USD1500 being the norm, she was looking for someone who had "been there and done that", to shed some light on whether such courses were effective. Besides I had been referred by a mutually trusted friend who had benefited from my trial and error internet marketing experience over a cup of coffee.

By the way, some of the things I've personally got my hands dirty with include Google Adwords, Blogging with Blogger and Wordpress softwares, RSS to Blog 4.5, RSS to Blog Mass Installer, Affiliate Marketing Systems, Leverage Affiliate Marketing, Sales of Info Products, Co Reg Leads, Multiple Traffic Exchanges Lead Generation, Offline to Online Marketing, Article Marketing, Video Syndication, Forum Marketing, Co Registration Marketing, Automated Income Systems, Copy Writing, Email Marketing, 3 different auto responder services, and 3 types of hosting services, Niche Marketing with Adwords and Name Squeeze pages, and Viral Marketing.

What may not work for some may work for others. At the end of the day, tempering focus and knowing when to dump an internet project to move on can only be obtained through experience. Some tools I paid money for helped fatten my bank account, others gave me less then stellar results. (At this point, I dare to say that there is no one tool on the internet that is going to make you rich. It's the right chemistry of a few tools and techniques coming together that fattens ones bank account)

Going for an internet marketing course is like paying to get a degree. Does getting a degree guarantee that you are going to become rich and successful? It does not. It's what we do with the knowledge, the doors that opened because of the degree that determine whether we become rich or not in future.

Its important to realize that after attending such seminars, there is going to be work to be done. The earth will not move without applying the knowledge. The most important thing is to 1st find out if anyone you know has succeeded in making money after applying the techniques outlined in the course.

Internet Marketing sounds sexy, and it is, there are people I know living the lifestyle of an internet wealth tycoon, and its an exciting lifestyle. When people think of making money from the internet, the idea is that they can make lots money even in their sleep or without having to sell anything face to face. Its also a great alternative income. At least these were my motivation factors that drew me to making money from the internet.

So before signing for an internet marketing seminar, be prepared to do work after the excitement is over in order to realize the internet wealth tycoon dream. If you're able to commit to this, then seminars are worth going for.

I remember when many of us first got online circa 1997. There were only 17% of Americans online and most countries around the world had barely even heard of the World Wide Web.

Within a few short years, Amazon-com had become the biggest bookstore in history with literally millions of books at their fingertips. eBay became the largest retail operation in history and the biggest retail business in the world.

But those giant retailers that the media always points to aren't the real story. From day one, the Internet was about offering people everywhere access to products, services, and ideas from everywhere else. The Net was about customizing.

Instead of going to Wal-Mart and choosing one of the three products they offered in the category of your choosing, you are able to go online and choose from just as many products as exist.

Take something like jewelry. Wal-Mart (and I only use them as an example because they're in practically every community in America) offers a jewelry area with several hundred items. The Internet gives you quick access to literally MILLIONS of jewelry items.

And because most online stores are largely virtual, their costs are extremely low. That means while a discount retail store discounts products 20% or 30%, an online store can discount 40% to 70% and more. And they don't just do that during special sales -- online retailers give those kinds of savings every day.

There was a time when people thought they couldn't judge a product unless they could hold it in their hand. But today, high resolution photographs, experiences provided by other shoppers, independent reviews, and more give shoppers a better chance than ever to find exactly the item they need -- AND have total trust that the item will work perfectly for them.

So give yourself a fun online shopping spree today. You'll get products your neighbors can't find locally, you'll get those products at amazingly low prices, and you can do it all without leaving the comfort of your home or office.
