Today we are interviewing the founder of Path2inspiration that will explain about his new book.
Could you please introduce yourself ?
My name is Sebastien, a few years ago I finally decided to follow my calling in life. It lead me to finally create my website www.path2inspiration.com
What project are you working on this days ?
I am working on the promotion of my short ebook on meditation.
“The lazy way to get your zen on”
Can you tell us more about this book ?
This book is original and entertaining. I wanted to make something unique yet simple to help people understand that meditation, is supposed to be fun and not a chore.
With the help of the illustrations, the Supermonk and my words, I think I managed to put together a pretty good book. The book on Amazon
Why this subject ?
Meditation has made my life so much better. 12 years ago, during a dark time of my life, I spent 3 months in a meditation center in Chiang mai, Thailand.
That time was so crucial and essential in my life. It basically saved me from myself and I have been meditating (almost) everyday ever since.
I know the power of the mind. Meditation is a “skill”, a “tool” that anybody can hone. If only more people would meditate, the world would be even more beautiful than it already is.
Of course there are tragedies and horrors, meditation is not an escape. Meditation helps you to see the good and beauty and help you understand what you have been taken for granted. That’s priceless.
What makes you excited in your work ?
Planting a seed in a person’s psyche and see them blossom over time. Through my written words, my spoken words, my videos, my stories, podcast, anything goes, as long as I can plant a seed in a person’s heart for them to see their potential.
How can it change people’s lives ?
It will free them of the shackles of circumstances and conditioning. It will help them finally understand what it really means to have joy, to have peace and to care for oneself.
Where do you see yourself in five years ?
Doing more of what I am doing now. Bigger and better. More videos, a show on Netflix, more and more books for the young and for the not-so-young while always making meditation more accessible to the masses.
No Facebook. No Twitter No YouTube The list of companies that do not have access to the explosion of social space in China shows how it differs from those of many Western markets. Understand that space is vitally important for anyone trying to engage Chinese consumers: social media is a more important phenomenon in the world's second-largest economy than in other countries, including the United States. And it's not indecipherable. Chinese consumers follow the same decision-making path as their peers in other countries, and the basic rules for interacting effectively with them are reassuring.
Wechat Marketing
Wechat is an instant messaging application created by Tencent, the same company that created QQ in 1999. Wechat is like Facebook in China, although its main function is to enable instant messaging between friends and not Facebook. So, as you can see, marketing your product or services via Wechat could open a flood of traffic and exposure to you and your business.
Weibo Marketing
Most people tend to think that Weibo chirps China, and that's not quite true. If we had to break down the words "Wei" and "bo" it would actually mean a mini blog or a microblogging. There are in fact more than half a dozen Weibo in China like Phoenix Weibo, Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo, Sohu Weibo, etc. ... But for marketing your business in China, the only two Weibo we need to worry about are Sina and Tencent.
Kindness, Curiosity and Creativity Wellington's approach to
kindergarten in Shanghai. The start of a child’s formal education is a time of great
change and one that is defined by a constant stream of new challenges.
The
start of a child’s formal education is a time of great change and one that is
defined by a constant stream of new challenges.
While this can cause some anxiety initially in some young children, at
Wellington we aim to make this period as exciting, engaging and enjoyable as
possible for every child in our care. Our commitment is to holistically
educating our pupils; so not only do we teach them the vital skills and
knowledge necessary to prepare them for further education and life after
school, but we also instil in them a set of values that will help them lead
happy, successful and fulfilling lives. By helping each Wellington pupil to
understand from an early age the importance of being individual, intellectual,
inclusive, independent and inspired, we hope that these values will remain an
inherent part of their personality for the rest of their lives.
Kindness, Curiosity and Creativity: Wellington's approach to kindergarten in Shanghai
The following sections briefly summarise
the core components to our Pre-Prep educational approach, many of which differ
from comparable international
kindergarten education in Shanghai.
The Curriculum: Giving every pupil the means to succeed
Pre-Prep schooling is an extremely
important time in a child’s development, as it represents their introduction to
formal education and allows them to acquire a wide range of both social and
academic skills. It’s also a new experience for parents, who will see their
children head off to school for the first time and will watch them discover a
world of new opportunities. Throughout the Early Years and KS1, it’s vital that
both teachers and parents work together to encourage their children and help
them adapt to their new learning environment.
Our approach to Early Years teaching
Here at Wellington College International
Shanghai, we follow the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, which is
organised into seven key learning areas. The prime areas focus on a child’s
personal, social and emotional development, their physical development and
their communication and language skills. The remaining areas of the curriculum,
known as the specific areas, focus on their ability to understand the world
around them; their mathematical and problem-solving skills, their creative
talents in expressive art and design and finally their enjoyment of literacy,
which is developed through their exposure to stories, rhymes, songs and poems.
Our approach to KS1 teaching
KS1 is the time we continue to develop
their understanding of the core values as they undertake a change of
curriculum. We follow the UK national curriculum in literacy and mathematics as
well as using an UK approach to the teaching of phonics. We also follow the
International Primary Curriculum (IPC) which is a comprehensive, thematic,
creative curriculum with a clear process of learning and with specific learning
goals for every subject, for international mindedness and for personal
learning.
The IPC has been designed to ensure rigorous
learning, but also to help teachers make all learning exciting, active and
meaningful. Children learn basic key skills in history, geography, ICT, art,
technology and science, which introduce them to all disciplines and help them
form the beginning of their own learning journey.
By ensuring children are exposed to a wide
range of subjects, we allow them to experience things they may have previously
overlooked. This, in turn, may well influence later academic subject choices.
At this stage, our pupils will also start
to develop formal methods for recording mathematical calculations. All KS1
children take part in mental mathematics challenges, concrete mathematical
experiences and learn to record their findings more formally.
Mathematics
activities are designed to be fun, challenging and have a real purpose, with an
emphasis on problem solving. Children have opportunities to revisit different
areas of mathematics each half term and build on previous knowledge. Basic
concepts are cemented at this crucial stage and become the building blocks for
all future learning.
Faculty: Instilling the right attitude towards learning
Every child in the Pre-Prep School has a
class teacher and teaching assistant. In pre-nursery, due to the age of the
children, we have three teaching assistants in the classroom. The class teacher
teaches the main parts of the curriculum and leads the pastoral role. The class
teachers are supported by other specialist teachers, who take a larger role as
the children get older. This allows children to become familiar with a variety
of adults, which promotes their independence and adaptability skills.
All our class teachers are trained to the
highest standards and are experienced in teaching the English curriculum. Many
of our teachers have degrees in Early Years and primary education, which are
supplemented by formal teaching qualifications. As with other international kindergartens in
Shanghai, the teaching body of our staff reflects the international
profile of our pupils, with teachers joining us from Europe, America, Asia, Australia
and New Zealand. We ensure that our teaching staff embody the values and high
expectations of Wellington, while encouraging them to bring their own
personality and interests into the classroom, in order to make them effective
holistic educators.
Creative
learning opportunities and events
Alongside a robust yet flexible curriculum,
our younger pupils are also exposed to a wide range of truly engaging
opportunities to take learning outside of the classroom. From exciting music
and theatre productions, to whole-school events designed to draw the Wellington
community together, Pre-Prep pupils are given every chance to take their
learning to entirely new and unforgettable places.
Our Pre-Prep pupils always represent an
important part of our whole-school events. We believe that it is essential to
get children involved in such occasions early on, as this inclusive approach makes
them feel rightly valued as individuals and as part of our tightly-knit
community. This short roundup of some of the Pre-Prep pupils’ impact on some of
our most notable annual events serves to highlight how our school endeavours to
give its younger pupils the chance to demonstrate their artistic and academic
skills, inline with the very best of international kindergarten education.
Christmas
shows: Our annual Christmas Concerts give the
younger pupils the chance to demonstrate their excellent singing voices and
choreographed group dances, usually while performing classic Christmas carols
and festive songs.
Chinese
New Year: Pre-Prep pupils joined the entire College
in celebrating Chinese New Year, performing their very own traditional songs
and dances, complete with gorgeously vibrant and colourful costumes and
artwork.
Science
Week: Intellectual curiosity starts at an early age
in Wellington, as the last two Science Week events have both witnessed our
Pre-Prep pupils eagerly and attentively watching experiments being performed,
before diving in themselves to get a hands-on scientific experience.
Alongside the development of academic
skills and capabilities, another facet of Wellington’s holistic education
approach is to instil in every pupil a set of values that will positively shape
their character and help them become the very best versions of themselves. The
Wellington College Values are those of courage, integrity, kindness, respect and responsibility, and the
process of instilling and developing these values begins the moment our pupils
join us, from the Early Years right up until they complete year 13.
As well as including Pre-Prep pupils in school-wide
events, we are always thinking of new and exciting ways to develop these
admirable character traits. One recent success story in this regard is our
class teddy bear initiative, with each Pre-Prep class naming, dressing and
accessorising their bear before taking them on adventures far beyond the
classroom. By giving each pupil the chance to look after the bear, we are
reinforcing their sense of kindness, respect and responsibility. Similarly, our
Pre-Prep teachers are actively involved in instilling a sense of good manners
and politeness in their pupils, in order to further strengthen the Wellington Values
that we hold in extremely high regard.
Parental support: Involving the parents at every stage
Finally, our approach to Pre-Prep education
includes developing a triangular pupil-parent-teacher relationship that is
stronger than you are likely to find in any other international kindergarten in Shanghai. We believe
that parents must continue to be an active part of their children’s education
during their formative school years, since what they learn in school should be
reinforced at home, and vice versa.
To that end, as well as regular parental
conferences and meetings to discuss progress and avoid any potential
difficulties or conflicts, we are continually trialling new methods of
encouraging positive parental involvement in Pre-Prep education. One of our
most recent and successful initiatives is the “Parent Reader” training
programme.
The idea was born out of our parents’
evident willingness to support their children with reading activities during
school time. In order to encourage and harness that willingness, we started a
training session with the aim of showing parents some of the basic expectations
of phonics, sight words and general reading skills that their children were in
the process of learning. Parents were taught to recognise some of the most
valuable reading milestones and to praise their children whenever they attained
them, in order to identify and reinforce the importance of their breakthrough.
In a very short space of time, what began as a parental support for reading
session quickly evolved into something much more ambitious and involved, with
pupils’ additional language, writing and oral-based skills being addressed and
explored at home by parents eager to help their children develop in any way
they could.
Continually developing our approach to Pre-Prep education
While we are rightly proud of the evident
success of our approach to giving young pupils the best possible start to their
formal education, we apply the same expectations to our teaching staff as we do
to our pupils. Therefore, utilising the same standards of intellectual curiosity
and inspiration that we aim to instil in our pupils, we are continually seeking
to deliver better, more relevant and more engaging methods of holistically
educating the children in our care. It is this driving aspiration to constantly
improve that has allowed Wellington to develop one of the best international kindergarten
educations in Shanghai.
Chinese tourists continue to trust and use traditional travel companies more than online booking sites in 2017.
Plus the percentage of penetration of online travel agencies in China in search of a record level of Last year.
According to a Chinese report on the outgoing market of the Chinese Outbound Tourism Research Institute (COTRI), 20 percent of the 120 million Chinese outbound travelers booked online travel in 2015. This is a seven percent increase from 2014 And the strongest indicator that the reservation sites continents to be more accepted throughout China.
Ctrip & Qunar
Chinese consumers felt less pressed by price wars at the end of last year Ctrip took a stake in Qunar and began working together, a powerful alliance among two of China's largest booking sites. This is probably a factor that more influences consumers on the booking sites, said COTRI.
Yet 80 percent of Chinese travelers booked offline and used one of more than 27,000 travel agents in chunks and mortars in China last year. The number of travel agencies in China has increased by 50 percent since 2006 and is showing some signs of slowing, and COTRI projects for Chinese outbound travelers will spend close to $ 80 billion to travel agents this year.
Chinese consumers spent about $ 56 billion on travel agencies in 2015. They also recorded a $ 11 billion trip to online travel agencies last year, a 70% 2014.
While offline travel agents in China have closer relationships with consumers than their foreign counterparts with markets elsewhere, they also compete in addition to the growing popularity of Chinese booking sites like Ctrip and Qunar.
"In China, the line between retail agents and tour operators (also referred to as tourism wholesalers in other countries) is somewhat blurred. It is not uncommon for tourism wholesalers to create not only tourist packages , But also sell directly to customers through advertisements in newspapers, websites and even their own retail stores, "the report said.
Chinese travel agencies can contact and work with incoming tour operators directly without wholesalers, "which can be attributed to the minds of unwanted intermediaries. In cases where a travel agency does not have enough customers for a trip Specific, for example, it will forward its customers to a larger wholesaler and earned the associated commission, "according to the report.
Many Chinese travel agencies operate illegally, including Wolfgang Arlt, director of COTRI, is one of the most gray areas of the Chinese tourism industry. About 10% Of these travel agents are licensed to operate outbound tourists on their own behalf, allowing them to sell different types of travel and the rest use a license or license from another company.
Online travel agencies in China
Online travel agencies in China face obstacles in addition to the offline travel agents do not worry. More than half of Chinese citizens (668 million people) do not use the Internet. The Communist Party of China also exercises a lot of control over the web, which brings most consumers to believe can trust a brick and mortar online travel agent online.
And when traveling internationally for the first time - which describes much of the world's largest foreign market - Chinese consumers often prefer to speak with a travel agent in person, the report said.
"In the Chinese travel media, the exposure and discussion of online travel agencies can be compared to those of Hollywood stars. Almost every day newsletters and reports from the News on the volatile relationships of Chinese online travel agencies (price wars and partnerships), weight gains and losses (stock sales and acquisitions) and highlights on red carpets (obtaining investment)
It Seems
Indonesian Government Offered Job To Jack Ma
Everybody
knows who is Jack Ma and if you don’t then you are not Chinese at least. Jack
Ma is the founder and CEO of the Chinese e-commerce giant, Alibaba. Jack Ma is
undeniably the best man in Asia's web based business history. As organizer of
Alibaba and a noteworthy partner in both that organization and its
e-installment spinoff Ant Financial, Mr. Mama surely keeps occupied. Yet, he
may be going to get much busier, as he's quite recently landed another position
offer. Indonesia has solicited the administrator from China's Alibaba Group
Holding, Jack Ma, to go about as counselor in the advancement of the Southeast
Asian nation's beginning internet business industry, as per a video discharged
by the legislature. To advance development in the internet business industry,
the legislature is setting up a "directing panel" comprising of 10
clergymen for which it has requested that Alibaba's Ma be a counsel,Communication and Information Minister Rudiantara said.
Alibaba confirmed
An
Alibaba representative affirmed that Ma was made a request to be counsel to
Indonesia's internet business directing panel, yet declined to state whether he
had acknowledged the offer. It's not unimaginable that he may acknowledge the
offer, however. Alibaba unmistakably is occupied with Indonesia's web based
business advertise. It purchased a controlling stake in Southeast Asian
internet business monster Lazada prior this year, and Lazada Indonesia has seen
some authority rearranging and Alipay reconciliation since Alibaba steered.
Given Alibaba's enthusiasm for the market, an administration counselor position
that would permit Jack Ma to conceivably specifically impact Indonesian online
business approach may be difficult to turn down. All things considered, it's
not clear definitely what his part would be on the off chance that he choosesto acknowledge.
helping Indonesian E-Commerce
Outside
of his organization's desires in Indonesia, Jack Ma should measure another
variable when settling on his choice: how helping Indonesia is probably going
to play in China. Chinese remarks on a news anecdote about Ma being offered the
guide position were brimming with outrage at Indonesia, refering to grievances
extending from the 1998 Indonesian mobs that focused ethnic Chinese to momentum
South China Sea debate. Some analysts recommended Jack Ma ought to take the
position with the goal that Chinese organizations can "win away" a
greater amount of Indonesia's cash. Others said he ought to disregard or deny
the demand. This places Ma in a troublesome position. Tolerating the offer
would likely be the best move for Alibaba's Southeast Asian business, yet it
could likewise gain the organization the fury of Chinese patriots, harming itself
in its own home market.
About Jack Ma
China's
wealthiest man says he was more joyful winning $12 a month. Since China is
still significantly more imperative to Alibaba than Southeast Asia, it's
difficult to see Jack Ma taking a chance with the organization's local status
in the expectations of increasing some preferred standpoint in a littler market
abroad. Yet, is tolerating the position a genuine hazard? Are the furious
analysts a little however vocal minority, or do they speak to a genuine
supposition that could really hurt Alibaba? Those are inquiries Jack Ma should
reply before he can give his own response to Indonesia.Since parts are
developed starting from the earliest stage, of the enormous advantages is that
it produces far less piece metal than in customary assembling.
$27.2 billion Asset
Yet,
it now looks like Jack Ma, one of the wealthiest men on the planet with an expected
total assets of $27.2 billion, will offer his savvy understanding into the web
based shopping industry to our neighbor Malaysia. Ma was intended to be the
substance of a monetary bundle go by the legislature prior this year to help
build up the web based business industry, with the Alibaba head offering
guidance on the best way to smooth lawful and framework boundaries to Indonesian
online organizations.
In spite of the mishap, Rudiantara said that the
arrangement to quicken Indonesia's internet business area would proceed and
they would stay in contact with Ma to get his contribution and also
contribution from different specialists in the field. These activities f two
governments to acquire the services of one men show the greatness and skill
level of that men. It is truly that not everything about this man is legendary
but this man has the potential to manage big things. He has experience of
extreme and management and he loves to manage complex activities. Indonesian
government was thinking right to get some tips from this man to organize their
system but Malaysia is always one step ahead pf Indonesia and it provide thins
once again.
Brands are familiar with the Asian power markets of Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai and Beijing. However, as profit margins shrink in these key markets, retailers are turning to the less well-known Tier II Chinese markets to take advantage of double-digit growth.
The Tier I cities of China such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have developed economies and have become familiar names in the West, especially after the 2008 Olympic Games and the 2010 World Expo. Small, on the other hand, are much less understood by the Western world. It is these rapidly developing metropolis that will drive China's growth in the coming decades. Here are 5 keys to succeeding in these flourishing retail markets.
1. China's Distribution market Situation
China's retail sector has contributed significantly to overall GDP growth, especially in recent years. In some markets, such as Chengdu, the growth of retail trade has even seen rates higher than that of general GDP. The city is showing a new class of consumer who wants the latest in fashion and household goods.
China's retail market is the second largest in the world, with only the United States selling more dollars. According to China Daily, retailers have scored US $ 3.87 trillion with China retail sales shooting up 13.1% from 2012. Level II cities make up larger shares of that amount as growth In Tier I cities decelerate to the lower half.
International retailers are finding attractive markets outside of Tier I cities. With available revenues increasing at much faster rates in Tier II cities, Chinese consumers in these markets eagerly snatch western brands and luxury goods.
Digital in China !
When surveying customers at their largest outlets in Shanghai and Hong Kong, national and multinational retailers are discovering that a growing share of sales comes from wealthy visitors from smaller cities. Retailers now see the need to establish a presence on line via Digital Marketing in smaller cities to serve the nouveau riche distributed throughout China. See more information about Digital in China
2. Understanding the local market
A retail brand will be directly associated with its location and selection of projects within a Chinese market. As in any part of the world, a carefully selected location will be needed to maximize potential and success in a new city.
Tier II China may present unique challenges when it comes to the selection of sight. The main locations can be very difficult to identify without the help of a local presence or consulting firm. Brands should be careful in selecting real estate partners who not only have the knowledge of the market but also the interests of retailers in mind. Steps to ensure the agent is on your side include confirming which developers work and which side pays the agency fee.
International developers including Daxueconsulting as well as local developers like China Resources Land have considerable experience working with foreign brands on their projects throughout China.
They will provide professional management and service and reduce the risk of a smaller owner leaving the business. Smaller homeowners are also known for selling busy stores, often forcing the current tenant. Trademarks should be ready to sign contracts in Chinese and understand contractual obligations and evictions are handled differently from market to market.
3. Think, learn, and react locally
The perception of the brand in China is paramount for retail success. Chinese consumers put a lot of weight on how the use of a particular brand will be perceived in their social circles before making a purchase; Price is of secondary importance.
This is good news for luxury brands; Occasionally, Chinese shoppers will see their shop windows and buy entire cabinets without looking at the price. But what about the small international brands that want to jump to the Chinese market?
Smaller retailers need to be realistic about their brand's market knowledge. They may have to invest in large advertising, marketing and social media campaigns before Chinese consumers begin to understand and accept them. Patience, creativity and commitment are fundamental to this whole process.

Baidu is in Trouble
China’s top internet search engine Baidu is facing abuse for hosting message boards containing pornography, libelous adverts and content for unlicensed nursing homes.

China has one of the most connected countries in the world with about ten times more Internet users than French population.
The concept of being an online celebrity and earning huge amount of revenue through Internet is widely known in western countries. For example, if we take YouTube there are self-made millionaires such as Michelle Phan, discovery of artists (Justin Bieber) or even comedians (Lilly Singh) or game players. However, for China it is pretty new and this phenomenon is becoming less and less unusual.
China Beauty Expo: Focus on latest beauty trends of the Chinese market
The 21st edition of China Beauty Expo was held on 18-20 May 2016 in Shanghai and gathered both suppliers and brands on about 20,000 m2 in the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center. As far as suppliers are concerned, the show hosted more than 800 exhibitors with an increasing international participation. Regarding brands, the show revealed an increasing diversification of the skincare offering, the rise of the hair care category and, again, a strong interest for natural products.
Indonesia Invest in Tourism with Chinese Travelers
Some people might have known that Indonesia and China has the connection on its history many years ago. As the result, that connection can still be seen in nowadays life. That might be one reason why the ministry of tourism is trying to take more than 2.1 million of Chinese people to come to travel to Indonesia.In some ways, this might be a little bit awkward since the ministry is trying to take as many Chinese tourists as possible. However, if you take a look at the chance and the fact that the historical background has a kind of connection, that makes it very possible.
Sales of global brand Mercedes-Benz grew 18 percent in August to 139.802 cars, driven by demand in China, where the volume of the car has increased by 53 percent to 32.763 vehicles.
It was the 30th consecutive month Mercedes record sales.
Sales to small Smart brand increased 9.4 percent in August 6317, Daimler said in a statement on Friday. This helped the combined sales of Mercedes and Smart to grow by 17 percent to 146,119 last month.
With China, deliveries of the Mercedes brand rose 4.8 percent to 28.373 vehicles in the United States and 11 percent to 50 304 in Europe.
Daimler said global shipments were boosted by a 81 percent increase in sales of the new Mercedes C-Class while sales of compact crossover GLA helped lift the volume of the car manufacturer in China.
Growth is expected to continue given the introduction of new vehicles such as the S-Class convertible, Ola Kaellenius, marketing and sales head of Mercedes, said.
Combined sales of eight months for Mercedes and Smart jumped 16 percent to 1.26 million vehicles with volume up 15 percent to EUR 1.18 million for the Mercedes and smart sales up 29 percent to 77 768
Ctrip is likely to make a counter-bid for eLong following a surprise offer from Tencent, sparking a potential bidding war that should ultimately see Ctrip emerge as the victor.
I also have to suspect that this particular bid came without the knowledge of Ctrip, which itself owns 37 percent of eLong. Ctrip got its stake after joining a group that bought out a controlling 62 percent of eLong previously held by US travel giant Expedia (Nasdaq: EXPE) earlier this year.
Tencent has owned its stake in eLong since 2011. Ctrip’s recent moves have all pointed to its own buyout offer for eLong, leading me to believe that we could quickly see a bidding war break out for the company.I’ve been predicting for the last few months that leading online travel site Ctrip (Nasdaq: CTRP) would make a buyout bid for former rival eLong (Nasdaq: LONG), so I was quite surprised to read that such a bid has come instead from Internet giant Tencent (HKEx: 700). This particular move is all the stranger because Tencent hasn’t shown much interest in the travel sector before now, though it previously invested in eLong and now owns about 15 percent of the company.
More broadly speaking, this latest buyout offer is part of a bigger wave of similar deals that have seen dozens of US-listed Chinese companies launch privatization bids this year. Most of those companies have failed to attract interest from US investors, and their shares have languished as a result. Many feel they could get better valuations in China, and are trying to de-list from the US and eventually re-list at home. The case with eLong is similar, since the stock never did very well and has lost nearly half of its value since the Ctrip-led buyout of Expedia’s stake back in May. According to eLong, Tencent has now offered to buy all of its shares for $18 each, representing a 27 premium over their last closing price. (company announcement; Chinese article) But that price still represents a discount from the peak of more than $22 that eLong reached back in May when the earlier Expedia buyout was announced.

In recent years, people have often speak foreign cosmetics that have completely taken over the market. Now this is no longer true. Chinese beauty brands are on the rise and they certainly have their say on the future of the Chinese market for beauty products.

For Chinese brands to really take over the market, they would need to change the made in China cliché actually for China, as Chinese fashion brands would like to achieve.

You have probably hear every type of promise and exclusive deal from the people emailing you. I will not be trying to top any of them.
Unlike them, I am not promising the impossible, such as guaranteed first page national rankings on Google.
What, then, can I do for you?
The answer depends on the type of person you happen to be. If you are not curious about what is happening with modern marketing, my service is not for you.
If, on the other hand, you are the kind of person who would like to surpass the marketing efforts of your biggest competitors, then speaking with me could be the smartest small investment you could make for the years ahead.
You will get only the most effective modern marketing tactics. No spammy SEO. No ineffective advertising.
Here are three such questions that none of other marketers contacting you can answer:
What is UXO and why is it replacing SEO?
Why are whitehat tactics now beating blackhat tactics?
What is the cheapest source of traffic?
You will already be ahead of all your competitors if you can answer three questions. But when you add to that my copywriting skills and methods to automate your online marketing, you will be unstoppable.
I can also teach you how to make viral content, how to improve response from your emails to prospects and clients, and how to set up a sales funnel.
Alternatively, I can do all this for you, from creating webinars that drive sales to optimizing your website so as to keep people coming back.
Reply to this email and I will send my guide on SEO copywriting, which usually sells for $40.
I prefer to talk over the phone, though. So if you are willing, please leave your number and I will call you
