What do you want to know about Internet Marketing and Making Money Online?
Hi, Shun-Jian here.
So, I started this internet marketing blog because a lot of people know about the success I’ve enjoyed online and have approached me to ask different questions on internet marketing and making money online.
Instead of answering them one by one, I thought it would be a good idea to collect your questions as comments on this blog entry and answer them (in days to come) on this blog so that more people can benefit at the same time.
Now what I need you to do is to help me help you.
Please tell me by leaving a comment at the end of this blog entry:
“What do you want to know about Internet Marketing and Making Money Online?”
It would help tremendously if you can phrase your question(s) as specifically as possible because questions like “How do you make money online?“, for example, are too broad to be answered meaningfully.
So, what’re you waiting for?
This is a rare opportunity for you to ask me your most burning questions on internet marketing…
Seize it and fire away!
P.S. If you know anyone who’s struggling with internet marketing and can benefit from this, feel free to direct them here by sharing this blog post with them!

Hi Shun Jian,
It seems like your favorite traffic source is PPC. I have 2 questions.
1. Do you focus entirely on Google Adwords, or do you use Yahoo! and Bing as well?
2. Where do you send your PPC traffic to? Your squeeze page, blog, niche review site or directly to the merchant’s sales/squeeze page?
Thank you!
Cheers~
Mark
Hi Mark,
1) For PPC, I tested out the different sources and still believe google adwords is the best source of PPC traffic.
2) Either my squeeze page or direct to the merchant. Sending traffic directly to a blog is a waste of money. There’s no clear focus on what the prospect should do… unless you’re sending to a direct blog post with clear instructions on what actions the prospect should take.
Hope that helps =)
Thanks a lot Shun Jian! That makes a lot of sense. However I thought Google doesn’t like affiliates sending PPC traffic directly to merchants’ sales page? Did you ever have problem with that? Is that a good way to generate sales?
Thanks again!
Cheers~
Mark
I think you can’t do it for clickbank products anymore but it’s still possible for other affiliate programs. Be careful though… Don’t promote anything to do with making money online (even the best product which actually works!)or you will get your adwords account suspended faster than you can say STOP!
Always be testing. What works for one product doesn’t necessarily work for another.
Shun Jian, I would like to know what would be the best way to make money with my expertise (singing) using internet marketing. Should I write a book? or have a set of CDs online for sale? or make a radio station online? or offer singing lessons online somehow (I don’t know how I’d do that)? or make a contest for singers online? I’m not even sure what or how to approach it. It seems confusing and insurmountable to me.
I think a series of video training lessons would be awesome. You don’t need to invest in expensive equipment. I take most of my videos with a normal digital camera (and since I dropped it and it no longer works… I just use the camera feature on my iphone 4S!). Just get your training material (videos) out first. Worry about the rest later.
One Step at a time! Ready, Fire, IM! (You will know what I mean if you’ve finished reading my eBook)
Thank you Shun Jian!
May I say that you have given me the courage to be in action. I have just realized that I have been ‘aiming’ (planning) my whole life and been too frightened to fire (be in action) thinking that the circumstances aren’t perfect yet. OMG! It brings tears to my eyes when I think of all of the life I have wasted playing safe. Wow.
I want to thank you Shun Jian for believing in me. Noone has ever given me that unconditional acceptance. I am used to being judged and criticized. Thank you so much. <3
You’re very welcome Diana… There’s a reason we attract the people we attract into our lives and I’m glad you’ve been brought into mine. I’m so happy I’m making a BIG difference to your life =D
One more question: how do you attract traffic? This may be too big of a question to answer here but this is the question that has always stopped me from trying because I didn’t understand how to attract traffic.
Thank you for being you, Shun Jian.
You’re right… This is a very broad question. Let me just give you some ideas…
There are many ways to drive traffic…
Forum Marketing, Guest Blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ (also known as Social Media Marketing), Solo ads, Ad swaps, Google Adwords, Facebook Ads (Also known as Pay Per Click Advertising), Joint Ventures etc.
What you want to understand is that you want to drive TARGETED traffic… not random traffic… This means you don’t go around paying people $10 to send an email to 1 million email addresses he scraped off the internet. That’s called spamming and it can get you into trouble and that kind of traffic usually won’t convert into sales.
One way you can drive traffic right now is to find prominent bloggers in your niche (google your niche + blog… the top 10 results usually are the prominent bloggers) and offer them a valuable piece of content as a guest post.
You should see TARGETED TRAFFIC coming to you once the article has been published.
Hope that helps, Diana =)

Good day Shun Jian,
Before anything else, I want to thank you for sending me your response to my subscription to your IM newsletter.
The information you have provided are very useful and easy to follow. You are the first internet affiliate who shows concern to budding Internet Marketing entrepreneurs by providing helpful tips about it. To tell you honestly, I’m too excited to begin my activities as a Clickbank affiliate. I have already signed up for it more than 6 days now but I have not started making out my “hoplink” for products that I intend to promote. I have the enthusiasm and interest to do it but since I’m a full time secretary in one of the engineering companies here in Saudi Arabia, the only free time I have is during the night and during Friday. I’m trying to acquaint myself with all vocabularies of the internet marketing business so I won’t be lost when I read some internet marketing tips and/or information during my internet surfing. Honestly, I’m loaded with my office work and even bring home some minor typing job for the sake of finishing it faster when due time comes.
I’ve subscribed to “League of Power” but I haven’t begun yet the documentation requirements to get me moving. Is “Leage of Power” a legitimate vendor? Just asking.
Tomorrow night, I would begin on reading about creating my own “hoplink” to kickoff my affiliate role in Clickbank. I’m just acquainting myself with so much terms in the internet marketing business prior to formally starting my actual internet marketing efforts.
Trust me that I will be reading your IM newsletter everyday. I’m just like a baby in this internet marketing business, trying to make my first step into the real world of internet marketing. However, knowing you at this time would really make a big difference in my efforts to really stand up on my own in the next few months or even years. Just be patient with me in the future when I ask some basic things from you. I’m that type of person who would doesn’t pretend to know something which I really don’t have any clue. Let me end my email now since I’m about to sleep but let me extend my deepest thanks to you for your kind gesture of offering your assistance in letting those newbies like me, to be acquainted with the internet marketing business.
Thanks & best regards,
Emmanuel
Hi Yee,
Thank you for including me on your list. I am really new at this kind of stuff and I am not the techie type of a guy. But we share the same passion for aspiring to be wealthy and paying it forward as thanksgiving. I`d like to ask you how will I begin this business and do I need to shell out capital and how much would that be? As I said I do not have knowledge in website or blog creation, what are the baby steps that I need to do? Thanks and I am looking forward to meeting you here in the Philippines so that we may spread your vision for all those people who are dreaming for financial freedom.
I don’t know where to start,
G’day Shun Jian,
I’m looking to start writing ebooks for educators to help them incorporate mindfulness meditation into their classroom. Any ideas how I can publicise this internationally (I live in Australia) and attract extra earning through tie-ins?
Many thanks,
Olive
