Ian del Carmen is the President and CEO of Fire Ball Planet Corporation. He started doing business online in April 2006 and after less than a year established a name for himself and an established empire in the Internet marketing industry.

Del Carmen is one of the most sought after Internet marketing consultants in the world right now, having a regular client base of 70,000+ businesses worldwide from Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Australia to as far as Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Early in 2008, he fulfilled his dream to become a millionaire at the age of 28 and earned the equivalent of one million pesos in just a week’s time after selling what is known as “membership wholesaler sites.” They are basically membership sites he created which he then sold wholesale with resale rights from US$197 to US$397 per pack. He managed to sell over a hundred of them to his global clients, earning him a cool million bucks.

And he is now spreading out fire ball planet in the region, establishing franchises in Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Missouri USA, as well as potentially in the growing markets of Australia, United Kingdom, India and Indonesia.

Despite being prevalent in everyday life, Ian says the Internet is still in a very young stage and there are still many more opportunities out there in the virtual world. If there’s one tip he can give other Filipinos, it’s to cash in on the prospects available in the web, and not just waste their time chatting on the net or updating their latest Friendster and Facebook accounts.
