Hello My Dear Subscriber,

I once heard a successful business man saying that if it will take him 2 hours to cut a tree, he will be glad to spend as much time to sharpen his saw.

He is right. You have to continuously update your skill, knowledge or career if you want to continue to be relevant. Same thing applies to internet marketing industry. You have to learn more almost everyday because things changes very fast in this industry.

It is because of this reason that I decide to present to you list of few events that you can find my in next few days and weeks.

25 to 26th of July - Akin Alabi’s  Lagos. You can read more about it here: http://www.cashdumpingground.com/

28th to 1st of August - Demystifying Internet V (SADC) Get a copy of success digest extra magazine to read more. You will be a lot of top guns at this event.

2nd of August - Rich Kid Live In Abuja  - courtesy Today’s Leaders Ventures Visit http://www.millionaireintraining.net to read more.

4th to 10th of August - Hold Me By The Hand Business Builiding Event - (note: this is not a seminar. If you are coming you must be ready to put in hard work to build your business). For more information visit: http://www.internetmarketingnigeria.com/event.html

If you have list of event that you want me to add here don’t hesitate to post it here.

Yesterday, I made a post about our coming 7 days live and practical hold me by the hand internet training event and since then I have been receiving series of questions from our subscribers. Also, in the mail sent to you yesterday I said I will be posting the reason why we are organizing this event.

In this article post you will find reason why we decide to training 10 people now and of course get answer to your questions. If you have more questions you can ask here.

Is this another seminar? because I am tired of attending seminars.

Friend, let me first clear something here; their is nothing bad in attending seminars. It is good. Some people have been able to move to next level just because they attended one live seminar. However, when it comes to internet business building their is limit to how internet seminar can help. That is where you need exclusive event like our hold me by the hand event, where you can find someone to look over your shoulder why you do what is necessary to build your business. So, this is not another seminar, online course, or training materials. It is completely a business building session.

Why are you introducing this training now?

I noticed that most people that we’ve met our seminar and other seminars that we’ve attended as a moderator are still finding it difficult to position themselves for success online. One of them once even challenge me that you people always make this thing look easy when it is not. I know that it is absolutely simple. It is just that most of these people haven’t been able to progress pass the foundation stage.

It is like building a house. It is simple to builders but they must get the ‘foundation’ right. That is why I have decided to take up the challenge and host few people along with my team. That way we can help them build the foundation for their internet business. Then they can also see that it is simple. We can now show other people their success.

Are you doing this training online or do I have to come physically?

It is a completely physical event. It will be taking place in our office. You will have access to computer system and internet connection. You don’t only learn but use what you learn immediately. Your physical presence is needed for good seven days. The first 5 days will be strictly for setting up your internet business. On six day we will review what we’ve been able to achieve and give you a personal road map for your business - what you will have to be doing after the event. On the seventh day we will be having small party success party.

Are you sure the fee is to much?

No. It is not. As a matter of fact it is the fair enough compare to what you will get. We’ve done everything by making it this cheap. Probably you haven’t seen the value in it. See, you can ask those that have attended several seminar how much they’ve spent still without anything to show for it. Let say you attend 10 seminars a year paying N5,000 to N12,500, you will end up spending from N50,000 to N125,000. I know few people that have spent that much on seminars. At the end of the event they are often clueless of what to do next. But here we will be working with you to set up your first business that is expected to make you average $1,000 to $3,000 every month.

Yes, I can understand that that fee may be a bit on high side for some people but the truth is that it’s the best we can do for our people.
You have a choice.
You can save yourself stress, time, energy and money or choose to do take hard lonely path.

Let me give you analysis of your investment.

If I tell you that we won’t be making money from your investment in this training - it is a lie. But then it is nothing compare to our TIME investment because we can make much more online. You will see it at during the event yourself. But then bellow is the analysis of your investment of N37,000

Web Site Building - Normally we charge N25,000 alone for this. (value N25,000).
Website Graphics - header, footer, order button. Normally we charge N13,000 for this service. (value N13,000)
Profession opt in form for list building - seperately this could cost you N7,000
5 hours of our time with you for 7 days - I normally charge N5,000 for 1hr of my time. Those that have paid that amount can testify to it. Now do the calculation N5,000 X 35 = N175,000 (in a simple statement I am just giving my time away)

I won’t complete the list because if you the above listed amount together alone the figure will be too much for my accountant to comprehend why I am giving away this much. But you know what, I know why I am doing this.

Let me tell you; if you take part in this event within 8 weeks you must cash your first $1,000 and within 90days you must be making $5,000 a month from your business if you follow re-investment strategy that we will show you. At this point others we read your success story and they will want to come take our service. Then we can charge then more than we are charging you because we now have you as testimony to our service. It is that simple. What goes round come round. If we can make you a success more of that we come back to us. And we will be glad for doing so.

I don’t have website and know little about internet can I come.

Sure you can come. If you read information on the offer page very well, you don’t need much technical experience to take part. You can come if you are sure you can use web browser, access website, send and check your email yourself.

Don’t worry about not having website because we will build one together for you with nice and beautiful graphics with good and profitable product to sell. See this event is like giving you turnkey business.

Why are you limiting it to 10 people or is this a marketing trick?

Believe us. This even is only for 10 people. Why? It will make it easy for us to provide the interaction, support and networking that is missing in most other live event. Also, at the end of the event it will be a lot easier for us to contact 10 people often and work with them building what we started.

Will you be able to tell us the concept behind google adsense in full if am interested in that kind of online business?

Yes. We will not only discuss it but you will set it up for you so that you can even make few bucks from it before the end of the event.

Will u be able to open up the ideas behind running a paypal and joining clickbank from nigeria?

We will not discuss anything about paypal because with what we will be setting up together for you, you don’t need paypal. However, we will open clickbank account for you and help you pick good product that will make you money fast. Because care about your result.

Will you teach us how to Generate traffic?

Yes. You will be using our system to generating traffic without paying for it. This is same system we use.

After the programme hope u will follow up on the 10 pple.

Yes. After the program you will get 12 months support service from us. Which means we won’t leave you alone.

Where exactly will the training take place in lagos

The event will be taking place in our office.

I am outside lagos what can you do for me?

As regard to this event their is nothing I can do. You will have to come.

Today I bring you a rare SPECIAL REPORT - 4 pages special report with a secret so powerful, it can work a profound change in every area of your life, including internet marketing.

I got it from Jim F. Straw, regarded by many as on of the World’s Top authority on mail order marketing and selling. If you’ve been reading internet marketing nigeria news for couple of months you must have come across that name several time.

In the 4 special report Jim explained simple secret to success of ‘worlds most successful’ marketers, religious leaders, political leaders, teachers etc.

It is the same secret that a Nigerian used to turn himself to overnight success 5 years ago.

Hey the fellow is not me!

The guy’s name is P.G.B. (sorry can’t tell you full name now for security reason).

I bet you will want to know this secret.

Jim did a good job by summarizing it in a easy to digest four pages report.

“Give Us Seven Days in August… and we’ll Take You By The Hand and together we’ll build the foundation for you own life-long Internet Income Stream. You will be the pround owner of your own, Real Internet Business.”

That is my bold promise for you.

For over 2 months now, have been receiving emails from subscribers and clients that wished someone stay in the same room with them, hold them by the hand and set up their first internet business.

I have not been able to grant such request up till now because of limited time and personal internet projects at hand. However, the persistence of some of you have finally forced me to dance to your song.

You can relax! This is definitely not another one of those shameless pies in the sky sales pitches that leave you high and dry, holding the bag on some hair-brained scheme or opportunity designed to make somebody else rich and leave you broke.

Read full detail here….. http://internetmarketingnigeria.com/event.html

Tomorrow I will share with you 7 reason why this event is been introduced now and why it’s a must that you be part of the lucky group.

Who is a millionaire?

How do you know a millionaire?

Many believe that to be a millionaire you must own expensive car, live in best house and best area etc. Unfortunately, it is not. The REAL rich people are not living that way.

Don’t let me waste your time with unnecessary introduction. Check following two resources link:

You will enjoy it.

Bob Parson, founder of Godaddy.com, the world foremost domain name registration company posted list of rules anybody anticipating success, in any endeavour must live by every day.

What did this ‘list of 16’ have to do with Internet Marketing?

You want to know?

Ok.

Read the list and note my comments.

Bob Parsons’ 16 Rules to Live By

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone. I believe that not much happens of any significance when we’re in our comfort zone. I hear people say, “But I’m concerned about security.” My response to that is simple: “Security is for cadavers.”
2. Never give up. Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted. Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working doesn’t mean it won’t work. It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.
3. When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think. There’s an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.”
4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be. Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of “undefined consequences.” My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, “Well, Robert, if it doesn’t work, they can’t eat you.”
5. Focus on what you want to have happen. Remember that old saying, “As you think, so shall you be.”
6. Take things a day at a time. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far into the future and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.
7. Always be moving forward. Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
8. Be quick to decide. Remember what General George S. Patton said: “A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”
9. Measure everything of significance. I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched improves.
10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate. If you want to uncover problems you don’t know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven’t examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.
11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you’re doing. When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.
12. Never let anybody push you around. In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you’re doing as anyone else, provided that what you’re doing is legal.
13. Never expect life to be fair. Life isn’t fair. You make your own breaks. You’ll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).
14. Solve your own problems. You’ll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you’ll develop a competitive edge. Masura Ibuka, the cofounder of Sony, said it best: “You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others.” There’s also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: “A wise man keeps his own counsel.”
15. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.
16. There’s always a reason to smile. Find it. After all, you’re really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: “We’re not here for a long time; we’re here for a good time.”

Rich Kid’s Comment: When I join the internet marketing race, I had money and was comfortable. I failed to do what is important to achieve result because I was comfortable. It took me long time to discover that if you must achieve you may have to burn your bridge.

Rich Kid’s Comment – After trying every opportunity without success the only option I had then was to quit. Of course that was what 2 of my friends we started together did. Today I thank God I didn’t quit and they regret they quit. Most of our people gave up when they are almost there.

Rich Kid’s Comment – There are a lot of challenges. At time things will not work the way you expect. PHCN, high price of fuel, poor internet access etc. You are not alone. Almost every other person experience same thing. So they are not enough excuse not to do right thing.

Rich Kid’s Comment – Remember the pareto’s 80/20 rule. 20% of what you do brings 80 per cent of your result. Concentrate on most important task… one that brings result. God has make one thing equal – TIME. We all have only 24hrs a day. How did you SPEND or INVEST yourself.

I hope this help.

How do I get paid? Is question most people often asked.

No doubt, the payment solution has always been a very serious issue, most especially with newbie internet marketers. Yesterday, I received a mail from one of our subscriber. I have decide to publish my response to his mail here for you to benefit.

Note: for some reason I have remove the name and edit this persons personal informations. Hope you can understand.

Dear Rich Kid (Olajide)

1. You are an internet guru. and  the founder of IBCng. Most of us members of IBCng find it difficult to participate in many affiliate programmes because of their payment methods or links which in some cases Nigerians are excluded from participating in. Why is this so, I don’t know

For every 1 merchants that didn’t accept nigerians there are over 1000 others that do. You don’t have to waste your time with those that didn’t care about you. There are several other programs out there. You can promote programs on clickbank. They send you check. We have our associates that receives checks every month from clickbank now. Here in nigeria. There are other third party affiliate companies with good programs out there as well.

While some choose to study the root some are plucking the fruit. Lets stop complaining about those that didn’t like our face. There are several alternatives.

2.  As at now, you have or tryong to establish a UK account with click bank.com  What about others like Paypal.com, paydotcom.com, USfreeads, Goarticles,ezinearticles.com?and many more.

Some affiliate company pay only through paypal. It is true. That is the case with most merchants that uses paydotcom.com

But if you have a special way to make more sales for this merchant. You can contact him and tell him you have a unique way of getting him more sales. Most likely the merchants will create a special way of paying you if you are able to get him sales. We have done that several times in the past.
For example, if you contact a merchant on paydotcom.com and you have such deal with him he can decide to send your payment by check or western union. What many people don’t know is that most of the merchants that offer affiliate program for their service through third party affiliate companies uses several other third party affiliate companies as well and at the same have their own in house affiliate system.

Goarticles.com and ezinearticles.com are articles directory. This is where you post articles with the sole purpose of promoting your website or establishing your expertise. You don’t need paypal or any account to sign up with them. Don’t confuse yourself.

Please help us out.

THANKS,

Mr. M. A

Online ads spend growing at “phenomenal rate” - effect for internet affiliate marketer.

According to news from research firm IDC, global online ad spending is expected to reach $62.5 billion this year and $106 billion in 2011.

http://furrier.org/2008/06/25/online-ad-spend-soaring-will-hit-106-billion-in-2011-what-recession/

Most of this money will be spent on keyword-based search engine advertising, website display ads (basically banner ads and classified ad).

It doesn’t stop there. Marketers are expected to will be spending over $2billion on affiliate marketing according to news from Jupiter Research. Affiliate marketing no doubt is a very powerful marketing tool. Marketers (merchants) only pay for result.

There are several affiliate marketing types. But most preferred by many marketers are pay per sale (CPS - cost per sale as in www.clickbank.com) and pay per lead (CPA - cost per acquisition as in cj, linkshare etc)

Now as an internet marketer and affiliate marketer to be specific what does this figures means to you?

If you have a website (preferably blog site) and you are able to get good contents that people in your market loves. The content that makes them come - back often. You can benefit from over 62billion dollars that will be spent by marketers on banner ads and classified as. You can have banner and text ads on your site.

In same way you get fully involved in affiliate marketing and get your share in over 2billion dollars expected to spend by merchants online.

Let’s do little permutation.

What if you are about to get just 0.01% of $2,000,000,000?

How much did you think you will have? $200,000

I am very sure many will be glad with half or quarter of $200,000.

It is possible my brother.
