The eOneNet.com's blog marketing seminar. And I was there.....

Internet marketing strategy:

Your’s truly had just attended the eOneNet.com’s blog marketing seminar yesterday, and this is how it went.

Well, for a start, it was a rainy day, and I was actually late for the seminar. 5 minutes late, to be precise.

I figured I wasn’t going to be punished for being late, so I duly paid the fees ($38), and sauntered into the ballroom at Rendezvous hotel.

The room was already quite full. I stood there, looking for an empty seat. As I was looking, there was this nice lady, professionally dressed in a sharp business suit, who guided me to an empty seat.

This lady is the president and CEO of eOneNet.com, Fione Tan, who was also the speaker for the day.

The seminar started with a video show of the achievements of Fione and her Internet marketing company. As I was late, I missed a large chunk of the show. But who cares? I am not interested in video shows. I am only interested in the seminar proper.

Fione began to share with the audience the “inside secrets” to creating a successful money-making blog. Seriously, they are not exactly “secrets” to me. They are more like steps which you should take to earn you the bucks online.

Most of the things Fione mentioned were things which Internet marketers like me already know very well. Although I only started marketing online a few months ago, I still know quite a fair bit, and was already beginning to feel a bit impatient.

The people around me were all very busy taking down notes, and I was wondering: why are they so busy with their notes? The secrets are not really secrets. They are things which are already well-known in the Internet community.

Fione went on to talk about how to create both free or paid blogs using the likes of Blogger (Free) and Wordpress (Paid). She also touched on how to monetize your blog using various online income generators like Google’s Adsense, Comparison Shopping PPC, and Text Link Ads. Of course, the other logical way is to create your own products to sell.

Next, she talked about traffic generators to drive traffic to your blogs. Again, these are things which I already know: search engines, email and viral marketing, community groups, free publicity.

She went on to show an example of her highly successful Internet marketing blog from her eOneNet.com website, and how she optimized it to earn the top rankings in Google.
There was a short break in between for us to play a game, where the audience was divided into 3 groups, and each group was given a particular niche topic. We were to draw up a sketchy plan on how we are going to set up our new blog to show the rest of the Internet world.

After the game, Fione began to talk about her own experiences, ranging from how she started her online business from scratch, to her holiday in Hong Kong.

And as expected, she began to start promoting her other Internet marketing coaching program, which is quite pricey for the layman. US$2,568, to be exact. But she pointed out that you would have no problems getting a 12-month interest-free loan.

This coaching course includes 2 full days of success training, 6 months weekly coaching email with action plan, 3 bi-monthly group online meetings, 6 months unlimited email and online support, and 12 months access to the Members’ area of Fione’s InternetMarketingCoaching.com website.

Compared with other coaching courses conducted by other so-called Internet marketing gurus out there, who charge exorbitant fees per hour, her program is still considered on the cheaper side.

The seminar ended a bit early. It was supposed to start at 2.15pm, and end about 6pm. But Fione ended the seminar before five. It was short and sharp, and she delivered her presentation in a very fun and energetic way.

If you are some Internet marketing newbie looking to gain some free secret tips from this blog marketing seminar, then you are going to be disappointed. But anyway, Fione was correct to point out that if you want different results, then you have got to do something different.

However, for my money, this kind of seminar should be free. I had attended some other seminars very similar to this one, and they are all free. These seminars are usually a prelude or a marketing ploy to promote some other courses or programs, and Fione’s blog marketing seminar is no different.

You only go to these seminars if you have got too much time, if not you are going to be disappointed and feel that your time is wasted. For me, since it was a Saturday, I went to see what the fuss about eOneNet.com is all about.

But for me, seminars like this one should be free, if they are no more than just a marketing ploy to promote other programs. Perhaps the only bright spot that I can take from this blog seminar is the chance to see the lady in person.


To Your Success,
