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.

Global Internet Seminar day3
Just like day 2, the last day was as exciting and a great learning experience. I missed the opening sharing of the CEO of Success Resources, Mr. Richard Tan but nevertheless still got a good seat in the second row. Thanks to my friend Joy Ongkiko for reserving seats for us with Je Malata who came later.
The first marketer was Adam Ginsberg, the only guru on eBay for the whole event. He presented on how to buy, sell and profit on the internet thru eBay. He came up with some cool software (beta) that is very simple, step by step through an audience who volunteered on stage. Wow, $100 was awarded to the volunteer just by following Adam’s instruction on what to key in, not bad huh. It was actually my first time to learn about the ins and outs of eBay since I have no experience. He’ll be back on August 21-23 for the eBay boot camp here in Singapore.
Next speaker was Stephen Pierce. The first half of his talk was more on inspirational, motivational stuffs about his experiences from nothing. In his rare bad experience, he told us that he got hit by a bullet in his knees due to his involvement with a gang fight. That was the turning point of his life and worked his way up to where he is now as one of the top internet marketers in the world.
According to him, there are 8 characteristics of the perfect internet money making opportunities for you;
- has rabid market of buyers
- system finds, gets, keeps and grows customers for you
- has multiple products deep sales funnel
- allows you to make +$1000 per sale
- pays you on other peoples marketing (affiliates)
- allows you to earn 24/7 (as money never sleeps)
- stuffs monthly residual cash into your bank account
- allows you to focus on one thing
“Internet does not require your permission but it requires your participation.”
On the last half of his talk he showed step by step hands on how to create a blogspot and used this as an affiliate campaign for Amazon (sort of your landing page for a particular product).
Steps to create an internet income were as follows;
- Create it (your website)
- Ping it (pingler.com)
- Social bookmark it
- Directories RSS, twitter
- Build of links
You need to sell what people buy and only sell to the buyers.
Hot tip: search on Amazon on bestsellers.
Next marketer was an upcoming 28 y.o. guy from Vince Tan who took his parents together with him (seated in the front row just in front of us). My friend was struck by this guy, she couldn’t imagined how it was to be mentored by him. She told me that she will just stare at him all day.hahaha. Imagination.
Vince started showing his success accomplishments. His first was the product Adsense Black Hat Edition which generated him SGD 14,500. His next hit was a great idea that they created while they were on an MRT about their sendUsTo.US campaign with their goal of being able to attend Mike Filsaime seminar which generated them a 100K SGD (not bad huh). And successes after success like BiggestFireSaledotCom, MegaRedPacketdotCom.
He shared his 3 Fundamental concepts which were;
1.) Triple W – win, win, and win
2.) Massiveness (packaging, instant products + Double Quattro)
3.) Guru Mind Control (Joint Venture/Network) – here he showed how he used skills on communications by being the Master, The Force, The Negotiator and The Joker.
From these concepts he showed case studies about the products I mentioned above one by one.
Lastly, I think it was the best quote I heard from him, “Internet Marketing is not Rocket Science but it’s enough Science to Rocket your Income”. Wow!
The last speaker was Greg Cesar (every time I listened to him, he reminds me of Eddie Murphy). He’s a very down to earth guy who will stop his talk just for a pose if someone’s taking a photo shot. He’s just funny. By the way, I got his business card which he managed to give after the talk.
Kidding aside, he’s the Google Adwords guru that will teach you to get qualified traffic with less money to spend. He knows what it takes to make your site sell.
I love quotes so here’s another one that I take note of “The Quality of your Life will be based on the Quality of your Questions”.
So why Adwords because of traffic, control, fast, instant and easier.
Here are some Mindset Marketing Questions;
- Who are they?
- What are they looking for?
- Where are they getting it?
- Why do they want it?
- When do they need it?
There are lots of stuffs that I didn’t include here since I’m still deciphering my notes but if you’re looking for instant traffic at less bids for Adwords Campaign. Greg Cesar is the guy.
In the end, the event was very successful as what Success Resources have been always known for. I’m sure everyone learned a lot and gained new friends as well as I did.
Global Internet Seminar day 2
I managed to attend the 2nd day Global Internet Seminar at the Expo, Singapore which started 9am until 7pm. I didn’t attend the first day obviously since I still have a work in the office. The first speaker of the day was the CEO of Success Resources (organizer of the event) Mr. Richard Tan who shared his extraordinary experience in organizing a big event in UK with just 2 months to fill the 5,000 capacity auditorium. Richard was followed by Christopher Guerriero an expert in the health and wellness thru his site HealthlifeDotCom. I learned a new idea from him about how to create a book in 30 days or less in just 7 simple steps.
He gave us some words similar to T. Harv Eker’s (TFAR method). His was Words – Thoughts- Feelings- Actions- Results. Hhhmm…looked familiar to me. There were 3 things in the mind of the average people; 1. Wait 2. Watch 3. Wish. Can you relate to this one? Then am sorry you’re an average person.
Here’s a saying that also caught me “True Wealth - stop chasing money instead chase self improvement” Wow, amen to that my friend!
Hot tip: How to create you book in 30 days or less!
1. Choose you subject (Passion + experience) – 1 full day
2. Write out main topics to cover in bullet points. - Half day max
3. Gather information for each topic. – 2-3 days
4. Record everything you know each topic individually (1 day)
5. Transcribe it (48 hours)
6. Send it to an editor to make you sound professional.
7. Get it typeset and professional looking.
There were just so much in his program that I can’t write it here. Check him out in Success Magazine as he was featured there as the time of this event. He was also being endorsed by Bob Proctor of the phenomenal The Secret.
The next speaker was Ewen Chia, World’s #1 Super Affiliate Internet Marketing Guy. It was his second talk from the first day (which I missed). Just like other speakers, he shared his humble life story. There were 3 simple steps to making online money fast, first is NICHE, second was WEBSITE (obviously) and last VISITORS.
Well what really caught our attention there was his Instant Website Generator which all you need to do is fill up the blanks like your affiliate logins. I would say it’s a website for the lazy (easy to setup) and it promotes itself with dynamic self updating with fresh contents, news article, videos. Unfortunately, he’s not selling the software and only available if you enrol to his seminar as one of the many packages.
Btw, he showed his clickbank account to show the difference from the first day (sort of a challenge). I can’t remember the figures but I bet it’s worth your month’s salary. Haha!
Tom Hua, Internet Business in-A-Box guy from Australia but originally from China (correct me if I’m wrong). First impression was his height (small) but with a big heart, a true blue entrepreneur with lots of business both online and offline. Just like Ewen Chia, his concepts of internet marketing are much the same, 1. Product 2. Website 3. Traffic. I didn’t take much notes here since he gave us a link of his site where in we can download the PowerPoint. Not bad huh since you can just purely concentrate on his ideas without being caught in scribbling notes. (Let me know if you want a piece of it…hmm)
Patric Chan, (How to Start Your Own Internet Business Today) is a guy that I can also relate to since this guy is into personal development. He shared his LEAP (stands for Leverage Expert And Partnership).
His LEAP formulas were;
- Product Ownership
- Leverage on other Business to Promote you
- Create an Info Product
- Membership program for Passive Income
- Partnership with Others
- Become an Expert in Your Niche
- Use an automation system
AFAIK, he’ll be having a 2 day leap program this coming July 11&12 here in Singapore.
Lastly, Andy Hun and looked like an upcoming guru in the scene since only few people were left (about less than 30). He shared about SkyQuestCom program which was own by Richard Tan.
I came a bit late since its an hour MRT ride to home.
Checkout Day 3.
