Our Little Internet Millionaires Club Keeps Growing
When I first started InternetMillionares.com.my I was a bit skeptical.
I wasn’t really sure if I should spend my time catering to the Malaysian market, since:
- I can literally make 3 times more with the same information marketed to a US-based crowd like I do with Wordpress Adsense System - most Malaysians are shocked when they convert USD97 to RM310 but I’m getting at least 1-2 sale per day from the international market
- I was already getting pretty irritated with the Malaysian mentality after 2 years of dealing with lazy bums who cannot make up their own mind or take responsibility for their actions
- Even Patric Chan (the last time I spoke to him was in World Internet Summit Singapore) said that he had given up on the Malaysian market, probably due to the same 2 reasons above. Personally I don’t blame him..
Still I wanted to contribute something locally and thus started moving Malaysian-related content away from my personal blog and started this site. I wasn’t 100% sure of the response I was going to get even though Patric himself joked that I am more famous than he is (in Malaysia at least).
But the signs are good.
Overall, this site has slowly but consistently risen up the traffic charts on Alexa, to about 74,000 right now. Not bad considering some people are below Alexa 100,000 even after a year of blogging.
In terms of actual traffic, Google Analytics also shows a significant improvement from the same period last month, although I actually forgot to put the codes on some high traffic pages and I just corrected that mistake yesterday 
94.8% of visitors are from Malaysia. Geo-targeting seems to be working, with the .com.my domain name and the site targeting using Google Webmaster tools. Basically I’m trying to tell Google that my site is super-targeted to Malaysia.
Show me the money!
Finally, I’d say we’re adding about 2 new Silver members per day, which is good but still below my target of 5 new members / day. I have to refine my advertising and hopefully with my new media strategy and the launch of my much-delayed book, this will happen easily.
So for all Silver members, fear not. I’m not going to abandon my project, and this site isn’t going to disappear.
I wanted to start a strong Internet marketing community in Malaysia as I strongly believe that I can do that. If you attended the last mastermind session and you’re happy with what you got, let me tell you that was just 20% of what I had in mind to achieve.
More good things coming your way!
