7 Biggest Takeaways from Peng Joon’s Internet Income Intensive 2017

I'm so lucky and thankful that I have the opportunity to came across Peng Joon's Internet Income Intensive seminar during Robert Kiyosaki's Business Investor Summit 2017.

Internet Income Intensive (III) is a 2-Day internet marketing seminar which charges at USD$1,997. During Business Investor Summit, I immediately purchased III without hesitation.

Now that I've graduated from the course, I feel that the value I gained worth every penny invested.

So today I want to share My 7 Biggest Takeaways from Peng Joon's Internet Income Intensive 2017 at Sentosa, Singapore.

In addition, I've taken down a lot of notes filled with quotes from Peng Joon. I'll be including that at the end of the post as well.

(If you're interested, you can check out my Internet Income Intensive review here.)

Websites used to be the most important element to make money online. However, having a website today is like giving out brochures to a random group of people.

You'll never know how effective it will be and how many people will be interested. Majority of the "brochures" will just be useless and become trash.

Understand this analogy?

Because having a website is a passive way to promote stuffs online. On the other hand, having a sales funnel is an active strategy to promote stuffs to a targeted group of people.

Let me explain...

This is an illustration of a sales funnel. Basically, you need to have a series of offers and follow-ups in place to guide your visitors from where they are to where you want them to be.

Along the way, you'll have different upsells that are meant to help and add value to them.

This will allow you to make a lot more money but at the same time your customers will feel happy to pay you money.

Sales funnel is much more targeted, effective and profitable than a website because you are able to drive targeted traffic and follow up with them to maximize your profit.

If you study most of the successful businesses today (both online and offline), you'll find that majority of them have a good sales funnel in place.

Many people who struggle to make money online think that they are either not getting enough traffic or they have a poor conversion rate or both.

But in reality, traffic is everywhere. Facebook is one of the top places to get targeted traffic in just a few clicks. All you need to do is to know who are your target audience and Facebook will instantly drive as much traffic to you depending on your budget.

Just remember that, there are a lot of people around the world with their credit cards in hands ready to pay you money. What you need to do is to identify your target audience, find where they usually hang out and drive them to your funnel.

As for conversion rate, it is just a result of something else. For example, the attractiveness of your offer, the persuasiveness of your sales copy or the effectiveness of your sales funnel.

Ultimately, what you need to work on is still your funnel. Your offer and your sales copy are all part of your funnel.

That's why having a good sales funnel is still the most important thing!

There are a lot of ways to overcome the fear and improve your video quality. But the most important thing still comes to this one word called "PRACTICE".

Peng Joon showed us the video of him presenting something when he first started out a few years back. Everyone laughed because he was really a beginner that looked awkward and embarrassed.

So the moral of the story is that "Every expert was once a newbie". All you need to do is to step out of your comfort zone and DO it, PRACTICE it.

Here are 2 videos by Brian Dean, founder of Backlinko, which I found extremely useful for optimizing your video and rank better on YouTube:

Affiliate Marketing is a huge business model to make money online which is still growing. The prospect of affiliate marketing in 2018 and beyond is very bright because E-commerce is growing at a pace that no one can predict and affiliate programs need affiliates more than ever.

So during the 2-Day III Seminar, Peng Joon taught us how to set up our own affiliate marketing business and how to choose profitable affiliate programs that sells.

I'm glad that I'm already in this business so I have values to share with people in this industry.

In fact, with affiliate marketing...

I've talked about the importance of having a sales funnel. When you're building your funnel, you'll need to have different levels of upsells in it. If you do it right, that's when you can make a lot of money.

But Jerry, I thought you said we need to focus on helping instead of selling?

Yes, you're right! We need to put our focus on helping people with our information and products.

So, if you're able to create products that are genuinely helpful to your target audience, you can charge them a premium price and add-ons (upsells) at the same time.

This creates a win-win situation! You make money and your customers are happy because they find your products very helpful and they have benefited a lot from them.

There's a quote by Warren Buffett that says, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you'll work until you die."

This is basically talking about passive income, in which you can make money when you're not working.

The opposite of "make money when you're not working" is to "trade time for money", which is what many people are doing their whole life.

In the online world, there are a lot of way to make money online but at the same time trading time for money.

Outsourcing is the solution to the tasks that trade your valuable time. Apart from outsourcing, you need to find a way to automate your online business so that you don't have to trade time for money.

That's when you can achieve not just financial freedom but time and location freedom.

Below are some outsourcing platforms online:

• Fiverr
• UpWork
• 99designs
• Rev.com
• OnlineJobs.ph

They have different purposes and rules. Check them out and see which one fits your needs.

But one of the mistake I made was to spend to much time on making my website looks more beautiful, which obviously won't make me money.

Instead, we should focus on learning and applying the higher level stuffs like marketing and sales. These are high level because they are more intangible and harder to master.

But since it's harder to master, it is where the most money is at.

Nevertheless, the good news is that "Marketing is a learnable and trainable skill". This is the sentence that I've heard a lot of times from Peng Joon, which I strongly believe in after attending his course.

These are My Top 7 Takeaways from Peng Joon's Internet Income Intensive. I hope this post has added value to you one way or another.
