There can be no argument that the selling of
information products online has become very big business in the
last 5 years. For those who have been involved in this type of
marketing for some time, there are some key ingredients to
becoming successful.
In the past marketers have been able to
identify their competitors and plan their strategies
accordingly, but in the fast-paced internet marketing
environment, there is a real sense of urgency with any product
launch.
The strategy remains the same whether you are
selling to China
or to the US, UK or Australia. Make a great information
product, pre-sell it, create some real interest from qualified
prospects, and promote it well through forums, blogs, article
marketing.Maintain
the momentum and reap the
rewards.
Now let's take a closer look at the
fantasticOPPORTUNITIES in
China.
This is how Jack Ma, CEO of the biggest
Internet Marketing Platform in China recently summed up the
situation:
China Internet Network Information Center
(CINIC), the state network information center of China,
released, in July 2008, a “Statistical Survey Report on the
Internet Development in China”. It’s a big report, but here are
some key points that should make internet marketers,
particularly of information products, sit up and take
notice.
253 million Internet
users
That’s two hundred and fifty three MILLION
internet users in China! Clearly this puts China in the number
one spot for internet usage worldwide. That figure is an
increase of 91 million from June 2007 (43 million of this in
the six months to June 2008).
84.7% of users connect via
Broadband
At the end of 2007 this equated to 168
million, the figure has increased to 214 million. There is a
massive 84.7 million individual computers connecting to the
internet from homes (dispelling the myth that most internet
access in China is via internet cafes).
73.05 million access the
internet via mobile
phones
Though certainly not their main means of
internet access, this is a growing trend. Demographics? 86% of
these people are under 30 years of age and 39.7% are
students.
E-commerce
The report clearly shows that online shopping is a
growing trend in China. 63.29 million people (25%) have shopped
online, with the major cities claiming most of the
shoppers.
Another one of those myths to be blown out of the water
by this report is the lack of online payment and banking
facilities in China. Facts: 22.5% use online payment (and
that’s 23.79 million people) and 23.4% use online banking.
These figures represent a growth rate of a whopping
71.7%.
Online education has grown to 18.5% of Chinese internet
users becoming involved: 46.69 million people on the path to
self-improvement, online.
