Hello from the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, the site of Mike Filsaime’s incredible Affiliate Appreciation Weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada!

Mike Filsaime at Affiliate Appreciation Weekend

I still remember being a part of Mike Filsaime’s original Affiliate Appreciation Weekend back in November 2006, but this one definitely tops the other event, or any other event I’ve attended, for that matter!

For this networking extravaganza, Mike Filsaime has specifically invited his 200 top affiliates for a two-day networking bash in appreciation for their support.

And you can leave it to Mike Filsaime to bring the world’s top Internet Marketing leaders all in one room…

That’s right – John Reese, Jeff Johnson, Brad Fallon, Jeff Walker, Russell Brunson, Andy Jenkins, Jason Potash, Howie Schwartz, Jeff Mulligan, Tom Beal, Harris Fellman, Sterling Valentine, Jeff Dedrick, Ross Goldberg, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, Jeff Mills, Glen Hopkins, Gary Ambrose, Jason Moffatt, Jon Walker, “Big Jason” Henderson, Shoemoney, Jason James, Keith Wellman, Joel Therien, Brian Koz, Joe Jablonski, Erik Stafford, Rich Cook, Andy Huang, James Lee and more were “in da house” at Affiliate Appreciation Weekend!

Needless to say, Affiliate Appreciation Weekend was a tremendously insane two days of power networking… especially when all of the top players in the industry were right there, ready to exchange business cards.

In fact, in only a matter of a few hours, I not only accrued five new projects for 2010, but I also secured several additional speaking engagements for this year, including seminars all across the United States, as well as UK, Dubai and Spain.

However, that’s not all…

At the private “no cameras allowed” party that closed off Affiliate Appreciation Weekend, Mike Filsaime pulled out all the stops with the top-of-the-line VIP bash at Lavo Nightclub!

In addition to the beautiful ladies of Internet Marketing, including “CoachDeb” Deborah Micek, Joanna Kinsman, Jaime Mintun, Donna Fox, Michelle Galvin, Stacy Makdad, Liz Tomey and Shelby Larson…

Mike Filsaime invited 50 more models to party with us at our VIP area!

Yes, it was the party of all parties…

In respect to the “no cameras allowed” policy, I did not personally take any photos at this private VIP bash at Lavo.

However, I *will* say that photos were indeed taken, and you may be able to see some of the ones that have been allowed to be posted on my Facebook page (that’s if they’re still up!).

All in all, I definitely have to thank my good friend, Mike Filsaime, for putting on the most fun and productive two days I have ever been a part of – Thanks, Mike, and I look forward to another amazing Affiliate Appreciation Weekend in the future!

Hello from the Hard Rock Hotel at Frank Kern’s Mass Control 2.0 Workshop in San Diego, California!

Frank Kern And Simon Leung At The Mass Control VIP Party On The Roof Of The Hard Rock Hotel
This is Frank Kern’s second Mass Control workshop and just like last year, Frank Kern pulled out all the stops to ensure the most incredible event possible.

The networking was simply amazing, with 1000 people turning out to network with Internet Marketing’s top dogs John Reese, Yanik Silver, Jeff Walker, Mike Filsaime, Ed Dale, John Carlton, Mike Koenigs, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, Joe Polish, Andy Jenkins, Tom Beal, Jeff Mulligan, Harrisi Fellman, Jason Moffatt, Mark Widawer, Ross Goldberg, Peter Parks, Lee Collins, Robin Collins and countless, countless more.

It was simply impossible to run into, much less met everyone who attended the Mass Control 2.0 workshop because Frank Kern did an amazing job packing the venue to the core of what appeared to be thousands of people!

Nonetheless, the networking with those I was able to spend time with was awesome, not only during the Mass Control 2.0 workshop itself, but the social activities after the event.

Frank Kern never fails to throw magnificent events, and the Mass Control 2.0 workshop was definitely no exception!

As my Cathay Pacific flight landed in SFO after my 18 hour journey from Singapore to San Francisco, I turned on my Blackberry to hundreds of new messages accrued from over the past several weeks while I was in Asia.

Quite a number of them were sent recently by my buddy, Stu McLaren, who was pretty persistent in contacting me through emails, instant messaging, both the public and private streams on Twitter and even leaving me a comment on my blog

Poor Stu McLaren must’ve been freakin out, cuz he actually had me scheduled to kick off his annual Marketing Predictions Call, which is a virtual event Stu McLaren puts together every year to raise money for a charity called World Teacher Aid, an organization founded by his wife, Amy McLaren.

The reason I’ve agreed to volunteer my time with Stu McLaren is not just because Stu and Amy McLaren are my friends, and not just the mere fact that I’ll be training and giving online entrepreneurs 2009 insights that will help them learn more about Internet Marketing…

Even more importantly, I am taking this as an opportunity (especially in the spirits of the Holiday Season) to give back by helping out a worthy cause…

You see, Amy McLaren’s World Teacher Aid is a non-profit organization that focuses on bringing education to children by building schools and establishing feeding programs all around the world, as well as funding full-time salaries and supporting children in less fortunate countries like Uganda, Ghana, El Salvador and Kenya.

Every year, Stu McLaren holds an online fundraising event for his wife’s cause by interviewing the top Internet Marketers in the world, and this year promises to be the biggest one yet with four times as many volunteered marketing experts than last year!

I’m very honored to be a part of Stu McLaren’s Marketing Predictions Call this year, and will be sharing my Google predictions during my scheduled interview TONIGHT…

And over the next several weeks, expect a ton more amazing and pitch-free information and marketing insights for the upcoming year from literally some of the most talented and top notch Internet Marketing experts in the world!

Hello from Room 935 of the Hard Rock Hotel at Frank Kern’s Mass Control Workshop in San Diego, CA!

Frank Kern And Simon Leung At The Mass Control VIP Party On The Roof Of The Hard Rock Hotel

I just spent the weekend hanging out with Internet Marketing’s top dogs, who all attended as part of all-star VIP line up of the Mass Control Workshop.

We saw cameo appearances from superstars like Mike Filsaime, Tom Beal, Rich Schefren, Jeff Walker, Jason Moffatt, Mike Koenigs, Brad Fallon, Andy Jenkins, Mike Morgan, John Carlton, Matt Gill, Rex Wisehart, Sterling Valentine, Mark Widawer, Kevin Nations, Ryan Kaltman, Lynn Pierce, Frank Sousa, Ross Goldberg, Bob Serling, Eben Pagan, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, Ed Dale, Tellman Knudson, Joe Polish, Lee Collins, Robin Collins, Shawn Casey and at least several others that I can’t think of right now!

I know – I couldn’t believe the VIP guests either!

All of these top marketers coming together in San Diego definitely made the Mass Control workshop a spectacular and memorable event.

But just as valuable as the networking was the incredible content delivered by Frank Kern and his guest speakers.

They spoke of the human psychology behind a customer’s buying process, and everything that defines a prospect’s purchase decision.

I was especially impressed as Frank Kern dissected the anatomy of his multi-million dollar Mass Control launch, which was nothing short of brilliant!

But more importantly than just the money is the process that can bring you more followers and fans in your specified niche.

Even though I don’t personally have a big launch planned for at least another few months, I am extremely eager to put some of this new information to use.

Over the next several days, I’ll be implementing some Mass Control style strategies to see on a couple social networking websites to see how well they work for me.

Check back soon and I’ll let you know the results
