Internet Entrepreneurship Training

Remember the web design and online marketing course I attended last week? Well, so far I've managed to apply a lot of the knowledge I've gained from the 2 days course in my own online business. I am surprised by the results I've gotten in just a little over a week after I attended the course. I've gained so much of confidence too because now I know what I can do online and how to do it on my own. Before I attended the course, I was not aware of how easy it can be to do an online business. I mean,  yes, I was doing it already for the past 3 years but I was struggling with it because I was ignorant about a lot of  things and didn't know how to go about it. I didn't realise that there are so many things that I can do online, at the comfort of my own home. All I needed was a computer or laptop and I'm ready to go! 

There are so many channels out there in the Internet that can help me with my online business. Marketing my business is a breeze now. It's so easy! I wish I knew all of this 3 years ago. Life for me would have been so much better if I knew all of this knowledge back then. But still, I'm grateful. At least it's not too late. I can still make it. As long as there is effort, there will be results. I probably won't be able to get to see a huge result in such a short period of time. But with a good plan, and be consistent in it, I'm sure it will work out great for me. 

I'm so glad I decided to attend the course. Because the course really did changed the way I think about online business. For those of you who are interested to attend the exact same course I attended, there will be one last chance for you to do so on the 26th and 27th of June 2010 in Puchong, Selangor. This is because that particular course will no longer be available starting next month. If you are keen on attending it, there is still a chance today for you to register for the course online at the link HERE.

But having said that, the good news is, starting next month, there will be a new training that's replacing the web design and online marketing course. This training that will be conducted by Starz Smart Business's founder, Robert Paragasam, called Internet Entrepreneurship Training, is similar to the web design and online marketing course except that in this training the information given is more advanced and better than the previous one. More participants will be able to register in this training as well. They are targeting about 15-20 people per training session.

Website Design and Online Marketing Course - Day 2

I attended the second day of the Web Design and Online Marketing course this morning, which was also the last day of the course conducted by Mr Robert Paragasam of Starz Smart Business at the Swiss Inn Hotel in Sungai Petani , Kedah. I wish there was a third, fourth or fifth day of the course.....but sigh.....it was not up to me to decide that. If it was up to me, I would have wanted to extend the course for a few more days.......as I felt like there was just so much more to learn from my Sifu (Robert). So much to learn....so little time. Time just flew by so fast and before I knew it , it was already 6 o'clock in the evening and it was time for me to go home.

Honestly, I really enjoyed today's subject.....ONLINE MARKETING! Who would have thought that this subject would be so interesting! Another eye opener for me! Yay!! Gosh....I think my eyes just kept popping  in disbelief every time Robert told me what are the things that can help me market my product online. I can't believe that there are so many channels or tools out there that can generate income into my business blogs and I never knew how powerful these tools are until today. I have been taking them for granted all the while. I kept thinking how ignorant I was about these things. Simple as they seem and yet powerful nonetheless. If I were to use it the right way, it would make a tremendous difference on my online business. I'm so grateful to have known about all this now. I do believe that the timing was perfect. God always knows best.  :)

Here are the topics that we manage to cover from 10.00am till 6.00pm today:

1) Introduction to Online Marketing
2) Learning to Use Autoresponders
3) How put the Facebook's LIKE button and using it effectively
4) How to Use Tell-A-Friend Button
5) How to do Link Exchanges
6) How to Market through Yahoo and Google

8) How to create Your Own Videos and Market it
9) How to do Article Marketing
10) How to do Signature Marketing
11) How to Promote Your Business using Classifieds
12) How to market with a Blog.

Once you read the list, it does look like there is a lot of work to be done right? It sure does!!! Nothing comes easy in this world. It will take a lot of my time to use these tools to make it work for me. But no worries as I'm taking my time to do this at my own pace. I'll be following Robert's advice on how to manage all this tools on my own. I couldn't agree more with the methods he suggested to me as I believe what he is saying makes perfect sense.

Oh! Before I forget.....yesterday I completely forgot to take photos of the course, so today, I managed to do so with the help of Robert's sweet wife Kavitha. She helped me take photos of us during the course. The guy you see in the white t-shirt is Robert and the guy sitting across me is Mr. Ravi Maran, my one and only course mate! Nice guy! As you can see, we were the only two people who attended the two day course. That gave us the luxury of getting full attention from Robert. For me, the price I paid for the course this time was worth every penny. And to think that I almost  couldn't make it in the first place. But thanks to Robert, I was able to make it happen and make a difference in my life from today onwards. I walked out of that course today with a totally different mindset and feeling so blessed! :) 

Website Design and Online Marketing Course - Day 1

Early this morning I went to Sungai Petani, Kedah to attend a course on Website Design and Online Marketing. I blogged about it a few days ago and I can't believe  that the day finally came today for me to attend it. Actually, deep inside, I couldn't be more excited as I've never attended a course that is related to website design and online marketing before. So it's a pretty awesome feeling!!

My Mom and Aunt accompanied me there. As usual, they don't trust that I can go there all by myself.....especially my Mom who is always so worried that her daughter might get kidnapped along the way. LOL! But seriously, with all the crazy things happening these days.....who wouldn't be worried ya? So they dropped me there at the hotel and headed for their shopping activities in Sungai Petani. It's not always that they get to travel in that area.....so they took the chance to enjoy themselves at the shopping complexes while I get busy with the course hehehe. :)

The course was held at the Swiss Inn Hotel in Sungai Petani, Kedah. The person conducting the course was Mr. Robert Paragasam, the founder of Starz Smart Business. The course is actually a 2 days course, that starts from 10.00am till 6.00pm respectively. So today's course concentrated mostly on the Website Design. I couldn't be happier because this is something that I've always wanted to learn about. Honestly, I've always wanted to make my own website.....don't get me wrong....just because I want to learn how to make my own website does not mean that I will leave my blogs.......coz I do love blogging....it's just that I would love to take that next step for my online handmade card business. And today....that dream came true for me.  I must say that what I learned today was a real eye opener. I felt like all this time I was asleep.....sleeping while everybody else had their eyes wide open in the online world. Today, I was awaken. Finally.....asleep no more.

Here are the topics that we manage to cover from 10.00am till 6.00pm today:

1) Introduction to Online Businesses
2) Getting Your Own Domain and Web Hosting
3) Learning to to use Kompozer (Web Editor)
4) Learning to use FileZilla
5) Creating Your First Website and Uploading It
6) Working with Fonts
7) Working with Images
8) Embedding Videos
9) Making Your Website Receive Payments using Paypal
10) Creating a Professional Marketing or Corporate Website in Minutes

Basically, Robert's way of conducting the course was amazingly easy for me to comprehend. For people like me who are not that IT savvy, I must say, it was very well planned and straight to the point! He showed me how easy it was to build my own website. Of course, at first I had some problems remembering the steps....but with much practice, it was a fun thing for me to play with. I just love the fact that there is so much of freedom involved when we can build our own website. It's so liberating! 

I also wanted to share here how happy I am that I can now use PayPal!!! You have no idea how long I wanted to have this service at my business blog! I was so ignorant about it all this while until I came to know Robert and he was the one who helped me find my way with PayPal. All this time I never knew that I was suppose to make my debit card internet transaction enabled. Now that it's settled, how incredibly easy payments can be made through this wonderful service. I can now receive payments from customers from any part of the world! Super! 

I can't wait to learn about online marketing tomorrow!!!! Woooooohooooooo!
