When I arrived home from Orlando on Monday night, Sam Heyer’s flight came in at just about the same time.

If you’ve never heard of Sam Heyer, he is the marketing genius behind some of the most successful high profile launches in recent history totaling in multi-million dollars of revenue, including Ewen Chia’s Super Affiliate Cloning Program and Nitro Marketing’s Extreme Marketing Makeover.

Sam is now my business partner for several of my private niches, and he has come to town from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to meet up with investors and to talk about our own launches.

While he was in town, I thought it would be pretty cool to show him around Google.

Despite having three consecutive days of meetings, we still managed to visit the GooglePlex twice.

On Wednesday, my buddy Kenji Arai, who is in the Google Videos department and normally works out of YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, happened to be working at the GooglePlex, which is based in Mountain View.

After Sam and I wrapped up our lunch meeting in Palo Alto, we stopped by the GooglePlex to meet up with Kenji.

Kenji showed us around the campus and introduced us to the new developments.

Sam was touring around the GooglePlex in awe, and literally looked like a little kid at a candy shop, especially when he found out that all the food on site are free!

Then earlier this afternoon, my good friend Kristina Cutura hosted us for lunch on campus.

We had a really good time catching up and enjoyed great conversation over some fine Google dining.

What I did notice in my visits is that a lot has changed during these past few months, including exponential growth to the team, as well as the departments moving buildings as a result of the expansion.

I hadn’t been back to the GooglePlex in several months, and it was great to be back, enjoy the great food and see old friends again.

Felt just like old times!

Hello from Universal Orlando in sunny Orlando, Florida!

I’m killing time in between rides and waiting in line to capture some great memories that I’m sharing with some very good friends.

My Universal Studios Orlando adventure began shortly after our speaker breakfast when Paulie Sabol, Jeff Wark, Lori Steffan, Mitch Goldstein and I decided to have some disney fun for the day.

Paulie once again demonstrated his kind generosity by sponsoring the tickets for us, but that is just the kind of person that Paulie is.

What I found out was that Universal Orlando is the home of not one, but two theme parks - Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

Both are action packed and are just a 5 minute walk apart!

We had some very entertaining experiences with shows and rides based on remarkable films such as Twister, Terminator 2, Men in Black and The Mummy.

Later on in the afternoon, we were joined at the Disney theme park by a few of my new friends at OfferLab, Anna Mohammed, Shakira Harris, Richard Harris and Kevin Bradshaw.

But to our dismay, we had to cut our group fun short as Paulie Sabol had to leave for the airport.

Jeff and Lori, joined by Mitch, then sent Paulie off, and I stayed behind to hang out with the gang for a couple more hours.

Definitely a great way to spend my last day in Orlando - great times and great company!

Hello from the Arctic Room of the International Plaza Resort and Spa at the Work at Home Super Conference in Orlando, Florida!

This is my third time in Orlando in just a period of three months, each time as a featured speaker at an Internet Marketing seminar.

But unlike my previous Orlando trips, or any of my other trips at all, for that matter, this time, I am staying with my buddies Jeff Wark and Lori Steffan in their RV at the Koa Campground.

We got the perfect view of the lake, and it’s pretty wild transporting in the same thing as your accommodation.

I’ve never camped like this before, and I’m having a total blast!

As for the Work at Home Super Conference, I had another brand new experience itself.

For the first time, I delivered not just one presentation, but two back-to-back presentations…

…The first one on the topic of AdWords List Building, and the second one on the topic of MySpace Optimization.

And since the Work at Home Super Conference is only a one day event, I needed to present both of them in one day.

Nonetheless, many people in attendance still had a lot of great things to say about both presentations, including Tom Bell (the event organizer), his Offerlab team, fellow speakers Jeff Wark and Lori Steffan, Alan Bechold, Mitch Goldstein and our MC host with the most, Paulie Sabol.

After the event, Paulie kindly offered to treat all the speakers out to dinner at a Thai restaurant.

As for tomorrow, we are still figuring how to spend our free day in Orlando.

Possible options are Universal Studios and Sea World, but I will definitely let you know tomorrow for sure.

Every second Wednesday of the month, Mike Filsaime and Tom Beal have guest expert calls as part of their i5 Gold Mentoring Program.

While I have been an i5 Gold guest on multiple occasions in the past, but earlier today, I had the honor of being an “official” guest expert with prepared content for i5 Gold members.

I had a great time talking about MySpace Optimization strategies with Tom Beal for over 90 minutes earlier this afternoon.

More specifically, we addressed the “white hat” optimization techniques designed to overcome the latest controversy to hit Internet Marketing…

People are calling this latest controversy the “MySpace Slap.”

Recently, MySpace has put its foot down on the SPAM situation that has evidently grown out of control.

The social networking website has now put a ban on automation software and services that automatically add friends, send messages and post comments.

Anyone who uses such software would be penalized by MySpace! Not cool…

We ended the presentation in an open Q&A session, in which Tom and I answered any questions the i5 Gold members had about the call.

From the sound of things, I really think that the i5 Gold members definitely got a lot out of the presentation.

We received a lot of praises during the call, in our private chatroom as well as via email and over instant messaging.

I’m pretty satisfied with my i5 Gold Guest Expert debut!

Now, if you are an i5 Gold member and didn’t get the chance to listen to the call, or if you were on the call and would like to listen to it again, you can download it, along with the 65 slides of the presentation, by logging into your member’s area.

As Tom kindly noted at the beginning of the call, please note that the information is for your own use only.

And if you are not an i5 Gold member, but would still like to learn about some of the strategies that not only increased the search engine rankings of all my main sites, but also optimized my MySpace profile to come up on the first page of search results on Google with over a million other websites, please click on one of the two links below.

Hello from the Champagne conference room of the Sofitel Hotel at the Teleseminar Secrets Reunion, presented by Alex Mandossian in Redwood Shores, CA, about 10 miles south of the San Francisco International Airport!

After months and months of antsy anticipation, the day has finally come for my buddy Alex Mandossian to host his highly awaited one day event for his Teleseminar Secrets graduate students.

Throughout the day, our chief trainer was extremely animated and energetic, standing on chairs and running through the aisles, while answering predetermined questions as well as holding live Q&A’s, all the while delivering the state-of-the-art content one would only expect from Alex Mandossian.

Alex Mandossian receiving a standing ovation

During one of his sessions, Alex was kind enough to feature me in the spotlight, introducing me to the audience and identifying me as the guest expert from the Teleseminar Secrets call that was held last December while I was in Hong Kong.

I then spent several minutes talking about who I am, what I did, why I was there and who my ideal prospects were, along with some additional information about my experience at Google, transition into full-time entrepreneurship as well as my current and upcoming projects that may be of interest to individuals in the room.

On the spotlight at Teleseminar Secrets Reunion

Off the stage, Alex and I also made plans to meet at his Novato home sometime within the next few weeks to map out a teleseminar series we are planning to do together.

We played around with topics and ideas, and from what we have so far in just the little time we talked, it’s already molding into something really exciting!

Yes, the Teleseminar Secrets Reunion was definitely a worthwhile event…

And while it was only a 25 minute drive for me, making this the closest and only local Internet Marketing event I have attended, even those who traveled long distances (from across and even out of the country) felt it was worth the trip to come out, even if it was only for one day.

What made the event even cooler is that today is actually Alex’s birthday!

That’s right, Alex Mandossian decided to spend his birthday with his graduates - because that’s how he chose to spend his birthday - and he enjoyed every minute of it!

At the end of the day, we wrapped up the event with a giant celebration to a successful reunion with a huge birthday cake…

Overall, the Teleseminar Secrets Reunion was an event unlike any other I had attended before.

There were literally emotions of hope, despair, pain and joy, and tears were even shared in the room.

It was definitely something special.

Happy Birthday, Alex, and thank you for a magnificent day. I look forward to working and partnering with you!

Hello from Ballroom A of the Atrium Suites at the Credit Millionaire Marathon in Las Vegas, NV!

As you may or may not know, I am in Las Vegas for the weekend to attend Donna Fox’s Credit Millionaire Marathon.

But what I never anticipated beyond my wildest imaginations is that in addition to being introduced and thoroughly educated on a completely new side of owning a business, this event would also become a tremendous milestone in my Internet Marketing career.

I mentioned this briefly on my blog post from Friday, but even at that time, I had no idea that it would be this monumental.

You know how they say, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?”

Well, not this time, buster! Because what happened was just too good to be kept a secret. Everyone must know!

If you have some time and would like to know, please feel free to read the full story here…

On Friday afternoon, I was having lunch with Mike Filsaime and Tom Beal, and Mike was brainstorming on what type of content to deliver for his presentation the next day.

Since the audience mostly comprised of beginning real estate investors who are exploring different arenas online, I made the suggestion of speaking about keyword research.

Mike paused for a moment, nods his head and says, “Yes, YOU should…”

Haha, right? Very funny, so funny I forgot to laugh…

But to my surprise, after excusing himself to go to the restroom, Mike returns with Paulie and Donna, who approach our table and unanimously gave praise to the “great idea.”

“Wowserz!” I thought to myself. “Joke’s on me - I guess he was serious after all!”

And so, I went along my merry way, excited, to say the least, but thinking the whole time that I’d be poking into Mike’s talk for several minutes to explain briefly about the keyword research portion of his presentation.

Mike and I even hung out together for the rest of the day, spending some quality time at the tables, having a few drinks at the bars and grabbing a bite to eat, having a great time with great conversation along the way.

We ended the day after we picked up his wife and my girlfriend from the airport, and he dropped us off back at the Luxor hotel.

Right before we parted, Mike suggested that we go on stage and do something that has never been done before, but I was still thinking that I’d just be making a cameo appearance for several minutes - maybe 15 or 20, 30 max.

Lunchtime rolled around on Saturday, and we were scheduled to start right after lunch.

Unfortunately, Mike’s wife was not feeling too well, and he was busy taking care of her, which delayed him a bit for our lunch meeting.

He finally makes it to the table where Karen and I were sitting with about 30 minutes to spare and goes, “So, what are we gonna talk about for 90 minutes?”

At that moment, my jaw practically dropped all the way down to the table as I murmered, “90? I thought we were doing 30?”

You should have seen the look on Mike’s face as he laughed, “What?! 30? Of course not! We’re doing 90, but don’t worry, it’ll go by quick…”

Immediately, we scrambled to figure out what to talk a
