What a ride it’s been. It all started in April 2009 with Global Internet Seminar, Penang (Malaysia). That was the first time I was invited to go up on stage and share my Internet Marketing knowledge with an amazing audience.
It’s only been 5 months since then and I have appeared on stage in 8 countries around the world. And I have many more queued up for the rest of the year. I guess that explains the absence of new posts at this blog.
It’s a great experience talking to different people around the world and helping them start profitable Internet businesses of their own. There’s a whole new world of possibilities on the Internet and it feels good to deliver this message to others.
Of course, I am a travel buff which makes the whole experience wonderful. I try to squeeze time out of these seminars and explore the city, savor its flavors and absorb the surroundings. Maybe it’s time for me to start a travel blog. So watch out, there might be a blogging case study coming soon.
If you have never been to an Internet Marketing event, look out for one in your city and attend when you get the chance. One thing I have realized is - the maximum success stories come from seminar attendees. These are people who take a serious step towards learning the possibilities and these are the people who finally take action.
The entire atmosphere of these seminars is electric. You meet new people… people who want the same thing out of life that you do. You make friends and many times, long term Joint Venture partners. You get trained by the best experts and coaches from around the world and of course, you get the opportunity to become their students. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth it. So, when you get the chance… go ahead and experience it yourself.
Who knows… you might find me there

Recently, I was invited by Asia’s largest seminar organizer, “Success Resources” to speak at their event “Global Internet Summit” in Penang, Malaysia. It all happened quite fast but I did accept their invitation to the 3-day event (10th-12th April 2009).
And, I am so glad I did. It was a wonderful experience speaking at GIS. Contrary to what I had in mind, Penang turned out to be a beautiful place. I loved the city, it’s friendly people and the food is to die for. I was visiting alone but I made up my mind to visit again with my wife and daughter.
The topic of my presentation was “Viral List Building” - an area of Internet Marketing that I passionately research and follow. It’s a shame that not many people use the wonders of viral marketing to grow their lists by huge numbers on auto-pilot. I got some great feedback on my presentation and (I think) the attendees really liked my views and strategies 
(That’s me on stage during my presentation. Yup, that’s the best one I have)

It was great meeting all the other speakers at the event - Edmund Loh, Vince Tan, Jaz Lai, Alvin Phang, Terence Tan, Benjamin Teo and Benjamin Marc Wee. Really nice people and highly qualified in their respective areas of expertise. We swapped ideas, brain stormed and of course, had a ton of fun.

I must say it was a very well organized event. The Success Resources team did a great job and made the entire experience a wonderful one for speakers as well as attendees. After the event, Richard Tan (founder of Success Resources) even took us out for a nice speakers’ dinner.

Overall, a wonderful experience - learnt, shared and enjoyed a whole lot. Will definitely go back and do it all over again anytime.
