Email Interview Lena Khalid – Founder of Malaysian Online Network

Lena Khalid is the founder of Malaysian Online Network and she is a full time online marketer in Malaysia. Lena quits her full time job (an Accountant by profession) to work from home in front of computer. At the same time, she watches and takes care of her only son.

I hereby invite Lena to share more with us about her experience of being a full time internet marketer.

Question: Hi Lena, can you share with us why you choose to be an online marketer?
Answer: Hi Moon Loh… thanks for interviewing me !  I am shy by nature ..LOL! …and that’s why I choose to be an “Online Marketer” ..so that I do not have to meet people face to face.
Joke aside, I think Internet Marketing is the simplest to do since it is a world with no boundary. You just need a computer, internet connection and knowledge on how to go about it.

Question: What challenge you face when you first step into the internet arena and how you overcome it?
Answer: Well, in the first few months I spent most of my waking hours surfing, reading about Internet Marketing, experimenting with html on blogs, getting conned with few programs…
I quit my job in Feb 08 and in May 08, I started with Spiderweb marketing and began my list building since then. The “Money is in the List” and whatever program you join, whatever route you choose online, if you are not building your list, you are leaving money on the table. I am sure you and others agree on it.
There’s no RIGHT or WRONG answer … to overcome and succeed in everything, one need knowledge and keep improving oneself.

Question: Do you enjoy working from home? What is your advice to moms who want to work from home like you?
Answer: Of course!  To watch my son grow up in front of me and to participate in all his activities and spend more quality time with my son is the BEST time a mum could wish for. Before this, it’s only in the weekend ( if I don’t travel) but now… it’s everyday!

My advice to moms who want to work from home : YOU CAN DO IT TOO ! ( I need to put a Disclaimer on this statement… hehehe) .  Trust yourself and You can do the same thing. Should you need any assistance, don’t be afraid to SHOUT for help. The Internet Community is very helpful.  You can also drop me a line at Malaysian Online Network or my personal blog at Mom Is Online.

For all moms who just starting to blog, here’s some gifts for you consisting video tutorials on starting at Blogger  and ebooks on how to make your blog profitable in the least time.  Click HERE for the gifts.

Wishing everybody to have a better year and more success in 2010.

Thanks Lena for her sharing. I agree with Lena that “YOU CAN DO IT TOO!” and I hope by Lena’s sharing and encouragement, you should have no doubt to get start.
