My Internet Marketing (IM) career started back in end of 2007 when I signed up for Fabian Lim's Internet Marketing Bootcamp in Kuala Lumpur. Fabian is a well known online business coach from Singapore. That course really opened up my eyes to the world wide web. Feeling exited, I started to implement all the tricks and strategies immediately. My first IM sales came from Amazon.com through Google Pay Per Click (PPC) campaign.
It was very exiting because everything was new to me. I was breaking even most of the time. The amount I spent on Google Adwords was more than my commission from Amazon.com. And I was receiving the commission only after 60 days from the sale date. And the bank took another 30 days to clear the foreign check. In total 90 days payment term! But it was fun. I'm sure most IM newbie will experience that feeling.
One of the biggest challenge I had was generating traffic. I remembered Fabian mentioned about a strategy known as "Article Marketing". He didn't cover much on that topic during the boot camp and I was curious. I started to do my own research online.
That lead me to my second internet marketing coaches. They were Kyle and Carson from Wealthy Affiliate University (WA). I read couple of reviews on their coaching program and their primary training was on generating Free Traffic with Article Marketing. That was what I wanted and I signed up. That was back in February 2008.
I went through the course in about 2 days. Again feeling excited I started to implement the techniques taught in WA. The product I chose was one of the top selling e-book on Clickbank, Run Your Car On Water. Back then, fuel prices were sky rocketing and I thought there should be a good demand on the information.
My choice of Article Submission Directory was Ezinearticles.com. There are a few other directories on the web, but Ezinearticles.com is the best. I bought the Run Your Car On Water e-book, read it and started writing short articles about it. As recommended by Wealthy Affiliate, the articles are 300 - 350 words long.
If I remembered correctly, I submitted about 9 articles in 3 days. On the 4th day, I checked my Clickbank stats and there was a blue bar that I saw for the first time. I had just made US33.92 in commission! Boy, I was ecstatic! I couldn't believe it. Article Marketing taught by Wealthy Affiliate actually works!
Making my first sales on Clickbank was the best feeling. Since then, I had made many more sales from different products. My highest earning per day was US150.50.
By early 2009, my Clickbank commission was more than what I earn as a Sales Manager with a Japanese Company. In March 2009, I resigned from my job and took on Internet Marketing as a Full Time career.
Everything started to work when I subscribed to Kyle and Carson Wealthy Affiliate program. I signed up as a student with WA back in February 2008, until today, I am still a loyal member.
If you are planning to make money from the web as a part time business or you simply want to work from home so you can spend more time with your family, why not get some real coaching. Kyle and Carson has helped me immensely. New students are always welcomed into Wealthy Affiliate University.
