Fabian Lim’s Real Internet Secrets Singapore Workshop – on being a Mentor
Real Internet Secrets Workshop (RIS) is a two and half day intensive internet marketing training by Fabian Lim. This is normally held at Singapore Management University (SMU). The program used to be called the Internet Marketing Bootcamp where I was part of the last batch in March 2009. The last RIS Singapore event (by the way, there is also a RIS Malaysia) was held as usual at SMU last March 26-28, 2010. This time I was one of the mentors of the class for the third time. Our role is to assist the students in any difficulties that they may encounter which were normally related to technical challenges.

The great thing also of being a mentor is you had a chance to experience a fine dining with co-mentors and Fabian Lim at Hyatt Hotel’s Restaurant.

Dominate Google Search Results Page Rank – in just 3 days?
Search Engine Optimization skills building continues to amaze me with surprising results. Last Monday march 15 after just 3 days of posting my blog about making extra money online, I skyrocketed my way on top of Google search engine. It was a very cool feeling to achieve such a feat yet inspired me to even improve my skills better.
As I mentioned in the video, I didn’t learn this from my own since it will take me a very long time to understand the technicalities and the strategies behind SEO. What I did was to follow and learn not only from the experts but who were the best in the fields of Search Engine Marketing. My mentors in this field were Fabian Lim and Simon Leung who are both world class in their own fields of endeavor. You see we went to college or university to pursue our career either as an engineer, lawyer, doctor, accountant, or any related fields of expertise to achieve our current jobs. Yes I am still very much working on a job. But what I’m sharing is if you want to pursue a business in internet marketing or any kind of business you must be willing to learn from the experts by investing in business coaches.
I must say having great mentors was indeed a very big factor. But, I tell you that there’s another thing that you must have in order to get the desired results, that is your ability to act and implement what you’ve learned. Persistence and continuous implementation of strategies were very crucial in your success. I have witnessed a lot of friends who were my classmates who did not make any desired results for whatever excuses they can tell. I was busy with my work. I was attending to my children. These sad excuses seemed to drive them and pursue other things that they find as an opportunity to make a quick buck. It was after all the motivation to make money easily that was their first intention. That was very lame. I must say work very hard on yourself first then add value to people’s lives should be our main intention.

Thank You 2009 and An Exciting 2010 Goals!
WOW! 2009 will be my most memorable year! It was the year where I learned to develop my skills in internet marketing. My objective at that time was to learn how I can generate more leads to my network marketing business through pay per click. I learned more than what I expected and the thought of passive residual income while you sleep is such an inevitable and powerful tool. Internet marketing is such a lonely business if you do it by yourself so I highly recommend that you find a mentor just like when you enroll to get a college degree. I developed my skills in the field of search engine marketing – both in search engine optimization and Google adwords. It was my first time to buy a domain name for jeromecastaneda.com and learned to use this powerful blog resource of WordPress. Actually, I managed to rank on the first page for some keywords about my blog. Woohoo! I was able to dominate almost all the sites on the first page for my name Jerome Castaneda and hope to totally dominate it next year 2010. Indeed, wordpress is the king!
I had the chance to attend Tony Robbins Unleashed the Power Within 4 day’s seminar at the Singapore Expo. In those 4 days I had the chance to shape my destiny in my thoughts and managed to do a firewalker on burning coals. It was also in this event that I truly take care about my health especially the food that I ate. I just developed the love for green stuffs, vegetables and fruits. Wow, it was truly an awesome time to remember.
It was the year where I regularly attended a Personal Excellence and Growth Meetup with great life coaches, Mr. Patrick Lim and Ms. Jessica See. I’ve met like minded people and exchanged life experiences and philosophies to grow and become the person that I want to be. There were 2 things that I learned if you want to succeed or grow in life, 1. the people you know or associate with and 2. the books that you’ve read.
2009 was the year I started to grow my spiritual relationship with the Lord God through CFC-FFL Singapore (Couples for Christ – Foundation for Family and Life) as a member for the Servants of the Lord (SOLD) group. Here I got the chance to meet God filled spirited people where there’s no inhibitions about telling your personal challenges in life. Here we prayed for each one’s personal success, family and health miracles. I highly suggest to any individual to join a spiritual or religious group especially if you’re working away from your family just like me.
Now, some people (especially with hardcore employee mindsets) may ask me why on earth should I spend much time learning stuffs that is outside of my job skills as a Mechanical Engineer. My answer is very simple my friend, I have Big Dreams. I am taking Jim Rohn’s advise to work hard on myself than what I do on my job. Personal development builds up my character and my attitude at work. I have the power of concentration and the focus to become a very productive engineer not only at work but with my relationship and communication with my colleagues.
As I looked forward about my 2010 goals, I am very excited about the potential person I can become. Year 2010 will be the start of my 10 year master plan. I’ll continue the commitment of my never ending personal development blog, to become the best father to my son and a loving husband to my wife. I’ll continue to read or listen to books or audiobooks, to meet like minded individuals in personal development and internet marketing fields. I’ll continue to work and apply my skills in internet marketing, to help local businesses generate more sales to their business. I’ll continue to take care of my health by having a regular exercise and watch out on the food that I take. Most of all, I’ll continue to praise and worship God for all the blessings and for the person I become.
Asia Internet Congress 2009 – Living up above expectation!
The 3rd Asia Internet Congress held at Suntec Convention Centre last October 30 to November 1, 2009 really lived up above my expectations. Even though it was my first time to see this event, it was packed with tons of internet marketing information and tips that a beginner can already apply at home. I asked a friend who already attended the previous AIC events and this is by far the biggest and successful.
I was actually part of the crew of the event being a student of Fabian Lim from his previous classes onInternet Marketing BootCamp. It was fun to be part of the team of the event since you get to meet up close and personal with the different speakers. I was actually assigned as part of the customer service during the first day and part of the sales team most of the time. As usual, I managed to take lots of notes from the speaker’s presentation. But most of the time I have go out of the room for a sales preparation meeting for the next speaker but I was assured from my co-crew who is not part of the sales team that she will give me a copy of her notes, wow thanks a lot Nicole.
I observed that most of the speakers shared about their bad experiences in life that triggered them to become a successful internet marketer. Their war stories are truly inspiring like Patric Chan who had never been to college or university and with a father as a taxi driver and his mother as a housewife but got big time in internet marketing. He is known for his Personal Improvement or just search that keyword in google and you’ll know more about him. Fabian Lim’s case was that he was sick and tired of waking up early to report for a job and so is Simon Leung, who quit his job at Google for 4 and a half years because he was sick of the J.O.B. (Just Over Broke for him) or from Kishore M. of Online Forex Trading which meant Just Obey Boss. That was actually the message of most of the speakers and they took massive actions and committed that they will never have a job again or to spend more time with their family. Kishore’s advice of doing your very best time after your office work is the best advice as I really can relate to that. Every time I walked out of the office after my work, I would just say, “Yes, this is the best time of my day as I can do the best things that I wanted to be in Life.” I can still remember Christopher Guerriero’s advise last June 2009 at Global Internet Seminar , “stop chasing money but instead pursue personal development”. For me the best part of being able to attend seminars is to be able to model these successful entrepreneurs and follow their steps that made them who they are at the present and what they can become at the future. The bigger the reason of WHY they became the person they want, the bigger you will become. At the end of the day, it’s a matter of giving away value to the marketplace and your sincerity to help others become successful in whatever they wanted to achieve in Life. It should be a win-win situation.

Asia Internet Congress 2009 – an online business event not to be missed
It will be my first time to attend Asia Internet Congress this coming October 30-November 1, 2009 at Suntec Convention Centre and I am already excited to learn from the successful online entrepreneurs. Well, actually I managed to attend for the first time an internet marketing seminar at Global Internet Seminar last June 2009 at the Expo. You can check about my reviews about the event at GIS. Even though it was a pitch fest to market their programs, I still managed to learn new ideas there without swiping my credit card. There I was able to interact directly to internet marketing gurus like Ewen Chia, Stephen Pierce, Adam Ginsberg,Greg Cesar, Tom Hua, Patric Chan and the other top guns of the online business. Don’t be intimidated or feel bad if these people will sell you their programs either through soft or hard selling. Put yourself into their shoes or any business person, I’m sure you’ll need to sell yourself if you own a business. You need to promote your business so that it will spark an interest for people to buy. You will buy only if you see a value from your perspective. So this is actually a chance to network with other motivated people who are already successful in this business. Who knows we can create a joint venture business with each other or create a mastermind group to learn continuously since learning by yourself will be very much challenging.
Btw, this event will also be held at Wisma MCA, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this 23-25th of October see more info at Asia Internet Congress in Malaysia. The event is hosted by Fabian Lim, a respectable top online entrepreneur.

Internet Marketing Bootcamp 1st Day
We just finished our first day of 3 day event of Internet Marketing Bootcamp by Fabian Lim at Singapore Management University . I must say that Fabian really rocked, and was very passionate in his topic. He was just the best and is worth investing in his program. After attending his preview about internet marketing I was convinced that this guy walks his talk and really adds a lot a value. I have been doing internet network marketing previously and I want to enhance my knowledge in this field which I really see as a very big market. It was my first time to have my own domain name (http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/) and create a simple landing page for a site (World Internet Academy). A lot of hands-on were done during this day since some free services were offered as part of the program like reseller hosting, 1profitsystem, autoresponder system, google adwords account, some affiliate accounts just to name a few.
Bye for now and I have to do some homework about creating ad campaigns in google adwords. I’m starting my journey.
