For My Malaysian Readers…
Are you in Malaysia? Do you live close by?
If you are confused about all these Internet marketing stuffs, I may have something for you.
In the past few months, I get people coming to me telling that they went to a few seminars and they are still not making the money they hoped. Some of them were frustrated, confused, excited but lost, not knowing where to start, etc.
Well, I think I know how they feel…
I’ve been to those seminars. And most of them are no more than just pitch fests. For 3 days, you sat there in the hall watching and listening to speakers to go up on stage one after the other.
And the speakers delivered a very good speech, telling you about what’s important when building an internet business, making you believe that they have what it takes to make it BIG on the Internet…
But the truth is they were working on you, getting you into a buying state. These speakers are professional salesman, some are professional hypnotist…
And at the end, they will pitch you with a package of products, that is the supposed to be the silver bullet to your online success. A package that is worth over $10,000, which you can get for only $1000 — only during the next 30 minutes.
So you took out your wallet, and pulled out your credit card and rushed to the back of the room to get the package.
But when you got home, you have no idea what you bought. You regretted your purchase. To a certain extent you felt cheated.
And worse, you have no one to turn to… there’s almost no support at all.
Actually, for most people, they don’t even have the basics they need to comprehend all the advanced materials in the package. The empty gap between what you know and what was being taught is too huge. You just got excited seeing those huge income proofs.
And with no one to turn to, you feel frustrated. You don’t know what to do next. And you regreted your purchase at the seminar.
I Have A Different Idea… Tell Me What You Think…
I hate it when I don’t know where to turn to for help. Of course that rarely happen to my now days. Today, I have a group of friends where we bounce ideas off each other.
But I can remember when I was just starting out. I don’t really know what works, or how to make it work from here in Malaysia.
Maybe I can offer a different experience for you.
Now, instead of doing another seminar, why don’t we do a weekly class.
I will get a place, hook it up with Wi-Fi Internet and we can start the class rolling. All that you have to do is bring your laptop computer and we are all set.
Instead of being confused not knowing what to do, I can give you homeworks and you can show me what you’ve done in the next class the following week.
With the little feeds of information you get, you have a week to digest it, test what you’ve learn and get back to me with your results.
If you don’t understand something, we’ll discuss it on the next week. If things didn’t go as expected, you know I’ll be around.
And my intention is to keep the class small. That way I can give my personal attention to every student. And I can even consult you one-on-one on your project…
Yes, I figured that everybody wants to do different things on the Internet. Most people have a rough idea of what to offer and what to sell. But they just lack the knowledge and the skills to do it online.
Plus, there are just so many things that you can do online.
You can blog, you can create a portal, you can sell info-products, you can sell physical products, you can create a community-site, you can promote affiliate programs, etc.
That is why I think it’s important to work on individual projects. I want to look at what’s best for you. I don’t want to just teach people how to make money online. Instead, I want to show people how to build an online business.
Think about it… It’ll be like taking a part-time class in the Open University. Sad to say, you will be spending a bomb with that, and you are still not building an income source.
Of course, there’s the public appreciation… pat on the back by your boss and colleagues. But a pay raise? Hardly. Even if you get some, how much?
Now, I am not against educating yourself, and going to back to college. I respect people to take actions to better yourself. But I think you have a better option now…
2007 is coming to an end. And 2008 is nearing. What I want to do is create a solid passive income source for you. Imagine a better 2008. One with less financial struggles.
That is possible… but we have to start working quick.
I can’t tell you details for my Interent weekend class just yet. I want to hear from you first, and know what you think about it.
If you are interested in this, please write back to me. If I get enough feedbacks, well… I may just do it. If I don’t, maybe later.
Of course, this is only for those who are geographically near to me. You may see that in my emails, the address is in Negeri Sembilan, but I am physically in Kuala Lumpur. NS is just my business registrations.
So I will be doing this in Kuala Lumpur.
Nights, week days, weekends… I don’t know yet. Just write in and tell me which you prefer and maybe I can see what is best for everybody.
To know more about this, please write to kidino[no-spam]writetokidino[dot]com — substitute “[no-spam]” with “@” and “dot” with “.” I will be keeping a separate list for those who reply to this.

Yes, to succeed in internet biz we must execute with a practical task. I believe in practise make perfect and have Guru to look for help. Not just a motivation seminar.
I will look foward what you are going to offer. I know that you have been doing this since 2002 an experience enoght to teach me.

Hi all. :)
your idea is SUPERB! for me, although i’m a newbie in this platform, a continuing support in every seminar (or class) is a must. with just a seminar within 2 or 3 days, it’s not enough for the attender to achieve what they dreamed of. at least, a continuing support for 6 monthhs.
and, your idea to do this is better! a weekly class is great. with a personal guiding, there is no way, one could fail (insyaALLAH…). although it’s sounds like a true lecture, but it’s great though…
PS: emmm… i stay at Kota Bharu, Kelantan. seemed i don’t have a chance. but i support it! it’s great!
PPS: Sifu Kidino, can i use these article to be posted at my blog for a promotion to my friends. for sure, your name will be on it. itu pun, if you don’t mind… :D
