How did you get into Internet Marketing? Can you explain your journey into Internet Marketing in detail?
I love the Internet and marketing. I jumped into Internet marketing because my work as an IT store manager and IT trainer required me to collect information from the Internet, and at the same time promote my company via forums & online advertisements.
Since 1998/99, I have joined many “easy & lazy” quick rich scheme programs (auto-surf & randomizer). Yes, they’ve made me money, but the income does not last long. Later, I joined many affiliate programs like Clickbank, Amazon & SFI (until now).
At the end of 1999, I decided to create a Web site to promote some of my offline business products – especially software. The reason is very simple: because I am lazy, I want everything to be automated, and that’s why I choose to sell software over other IT products. Then, from time to time, I create more Web sites to promote more & more products.
Today, I am proud to own a few Web sites (especially Adsense) that send me money while I am sleeping.
What are the various Web sites that are making you money?
I am making money mainly from Adsense and the software Web site. Both Adsense and the software Web site (such as www.CNNSoftware.com) contribute more than 70-80% of my current online income.
How do you promote your Web site?
When talking about advertising, I’d like to strongly recommend ezines. Why? Here are the reasons:
1. You'll brand your web site, business and yourself by submitting articles to e-zines. You could include your name, business name, your credentials, web site address and e-mail address in your resource box.
2. You will become known as an expert on the topics you write about. This will give you and your business extra credibility, which will help you to compete against your competition.
3. Your article might also be placed on the publisher's home page. If they publish each issue on the home page this will give you some extra exposure.
4. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher archives its e-zine on their site. People might want to read the back issues before they make the decision to subscribe.
5. You will get free advertising. This will allow you to spend your profits on other forms of advertising. You could buy advertisements in other e-zines that don't publish your articles.
Here are some sources of ezine advertising:
a. http://www.qobc.com/recommend/2buck.html
b. http://www.qobc.com/recommend/ezine.html
Besides ezines, the most important advertisement method is to promote to your own opt-in list. They are people that trust you and are ready to listen to your recommendations.

Any tips for newbies in Internet Marketing?
Here the list of tips. I’ve received them from my mentor and now hope you will benefit from it:
a. Model other successful businesses or people. I'm not saying outright copy them, but practice some of the same habits that have made them succeed.
b. Train yourself to be polite to all your customers, even if they're shouting. Solve their problem quickly and it may even turn into a sale.
c. Give your visitors a good impression when they first visit your Web site. Don't make the first thing they see at the top of your home page a banner ad.
d. More tips about how to start a home business, download & read my “Home Business Startup Guide” here: http://www.joetiew.com/special/homebusiness/
e. OK, about web design, download my “Newbies Web Design Tips” here :

What is the biggest mistake (or some of the mistakes) you have learned in the past few years as an Internet Marketer?
a. Don’t buy/invest anything unless you are going to seriously spend time on it. In the past, I have spent more than 70% of my online earnings buying anything I think will help to boost my sale, but I did not really spend time on it.
b. Work smart, NOT work hard. Focus more time on marketing. Don’t spend too much time on technical or graphics jobs, let technical/ graphics experts do it for you, so you have enough time to skyrocket your sales. Quoted from a top Internet marketer (one of my mentor as well): “I tried handling all my tech support myself. Wow, this one sure bogged me down this year. Dealing with tech support for simple issues was one of the reasons I couldn't get some of my products launched this year. Don't make this mistake. If you're spending 2 hours per day or more on email, you need to consider outsourcing. Make sure you stay tuned, because I have a premium newsletter coming out on this very subject.”
What are your plans in future?
I hope I can work with more Internet marketers to help us all make more money in the coming year. Even if you have good products, without strong recommendations by other Internet marketers, your product may not sell well.
