Alex Mandossian shared with us this example recently at 1 of the previews to AIMS Internet Bootcamp in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
He gave an example of a Bamboo tree, a strong and resilient plant that grows throughout Asia.
He gave an example of a Bamboo tree, a strong and resilient plant that grows throughout Asia.
How long does it take for a bamboo to see light, from the ground?
In fact, it takes 2-3 years for a bamboo shoot to see light at all, through the soil its grown in. The 1st bamboo shoot remains hidden underground, away from sunlight for 2-3 years. Thereafter, as soon as they see sunlight, they will grow 6 inches on a daily basis.
This is a good example of what a new entrant into internet marketing is. I mean, the journey that is required to walk through, for a beginner or newbie.
In the 1st year
It may be tough for a newbie to start off when we are not IT-savy. It took me 6 months just to read up most writeups about internet marketing. It took another month to learn Microsoft Frontpage to create the 1st webpage. Then its a few more months into looking for a product to sell - product development. This is the hard part!
Getting a hosting company and the webpage to go live is peanut. Plenty of freeware to help with that ( but don't rely on this too much). The next thing is testing out your Sales Letter on your webpage and the price of your product.
2nd year
Adopt a new marketing strategy, that is to go into Affiliate Marketing and market other people's product for awhile. You will probably be earning enough to make a living and work from home, by this time.
3rd year
You may have a number of websites set-up already and earning enough to make US$4,000 and above monthly ...... Who knows! Look out for joint-ventures and partners to leverage on each other. If you are good, you may get invited to be a JV partner.
Many internet marketing gurus make loads of promises of making you think you can earn plenty in your 1st year. In fact, there may be some truth in it for some technie IT savy people, but for most other non-IT savy (90%) of the population, they may end up getting more confuse after the end of a seminar.
So allow time for an internet marketing business to grow from strength to strength. Take this advice from Alex who, in my opinion, is a an honest, reliable, practical and down-to-earth man.
This is the type of "mentor" that any newbie or beginner should seek out to learn about internet marketing. As he says :
There are 3 kinds of 'mentor' out there.
1st kind - teach it but never done it at all
2nd kind - teach it and do it continuously, even in present day
3rd kind - teach it and do not plan to do it anymore and not ever again
So beware of who is pulling the sheeps wool over your head!
I have probably found a genuine 'guru' who is of the 2nd type from above.
Fortunately for me (as I have enrolled into his coming Internet Bootcamp in Kuala Lumpur).
As a reminder, you need to make some sacrifice in initial investment to attend seminars and boot camps to learn about internet marketing and spend plenty of time online to conduct research.
As Alex Mandossian always say "The more one learns, the more one earns!"
