Asia Internet Congress 2009 – Living up above expectation!
Register for Asia Internet Congress Singapore 2010 NOW!
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 the different speakers. I’m sharing the pictures below together with the 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 by my colleague 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 whose father was a taxi driver and a mother who was a housewife but managed to break through 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 shared his story about being sick and tired of waking up early to report for a job. Simon Leung, 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). Kishore M. of Online Forex Trading had a different meaning for the word, job 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 a need 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 was 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 they 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 you want to achieve in Life. It should therefore be a win-win situation.

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.
