Right now, we are entering the most financially uncertain period in
modern history. The current global economic meltdown is probably the single
biggest threat to your financial future. It's a scary fact but 533,000 people in
the US lost their jobs in November last year. This is a huge blow and the fear,
uncertainty, anger and the humble realization these people are now coming to
grips with have driven some to desperate means, even suicide in some
cases!
When the financial crisis hit, I started thinking of how I can
help the hundreds of thousands who have lost their jobs and while doing my
research, I came across Internet marketing. The downside to this amazing
business is, you can end up like a dog trying to catch its own tail if you don't
have a proper system - you go round and round but eventually end up in the same
place you began, worse for the wear but not much richer.
That is why, for
my latest book, Asia's Dragons, I am saving you blood, sweat and tears by
picking eight of the best online brains in the business and writing about their
systems that have made them millions! Inside this book, you will meet a group of
entrepreneurs who, at the beginning of the technological revolution, saw
opportunity and grabbed it. These are the classic geeks who played video games
and built remote control toys, while other cooler kids were dating and listening
to Depeche Mode.
They are:
1. King of List-building - Jaz Lai
2.
Blogging Expert ?Alvin Phang
3. Pay-Per-Click Advertising Genius ?Eugene
Ang
4. Super Affiliate ?Ewen Chia
5. eBay Millionaire ?Benjamin Marc
Wee
6. Niche Marketing Guru ?Patric Chan
7. Membership Website Mogul ?Ian
Del Carmen
8. Search Engine Marketing Trainer ?Fabian Lim
The
Internet, especially Google, has allowed regular Joes to make a fortune online.
It has put everyone on a level playing field, and how successful you are, really
depends on your expertise and efforts. Asia's Dragons was culled from hours and
hours of interviews with those in the niche. My overriding goal was to to bring
recognition to talents in Asia and cover each particular aspect of online
marketing by selecting experts from each discipline.
I wanted
interviewees who have a history of sharing their expertise ?which meant seeking
out marketers who speak at conferences, write blogs, consult for leading
companies and conduct courses - you know you are in good hands when you see the
credentials of these online marketing heroes!
I tried to avoid
duplication of skills as much as possible, although some repetition of
information is inevitable: good advice is good advice, after all, and not
limited to a single marketing discipline. Not only are my interviewees raking in
hundreds of thousands of dollars from their online businesses, they are also
willing to share the secrets of their success with you! To paraphrase Uncle Ben
in Spider-Man, with great power comes great responsibility ?these online heroes
know it's their responsibility to help others with their knowledge.
You
will feel like you are peering into a bizarre fantasy world. This fantasy world
though, is populated by ordinary people making extraordinary incomes online!
Most importantly, Asia's Dragons contains information about the systems of these
gurus which is the closest you can get to them guiding you step-by-step to your
own Internet success.
