Hello from the 12th floor of the Wisma MCA, where Fabian Lim and I are wrapping up our Real Social Marketing Secrets Workshop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!

As we always want to bring as much value as possible to our customers, we invited along a special guest speaker to present to the attendees of Real Social Marketing Secrets Workshop Malaysia.

As you can see in the photo above, our special guest speaker is none other than Patric Chan, my Malaysian business partner, International speaker and one of the top Internet Marketers in the world.

Patric Chan also happened to be in Kuala Lumpur at the same time because he was conducting his own event, Affiliate List Profit Workshop, which also happened to be at the same venue as Real Social Marketing Secrets Workshop on the 13th floor, just one level above.

To return the favor to Patric Chan and his own customers, I also agreed to speak at the Affiliate List Profit Workshop, so that we could both mutually benefit each other’s event attendees.

Since both of our events were running simultaneously, we needed to plan our schedules accordingly, which meant that I actually had to skip lunch because we presented at one another’s lunch breaks.

However, the sacrifice was well worth it just to be able to bring the additional value to both sets of attendees.

Plus – I probably should have skipped the meal anyway, since the interesting thing about this last minute collaboration is that we actually hadn’t planned on speaking at each other’s events until the night before, when Fabian Lim, Patric Chan and I discussed our plans over a McDonald’s meal (all three of us had Quarter Pounder meals, in case you were wondering!)

I think everyone was pleased with the way things panned out, especially since attendees of both Real Social Marketing Secrets Workshop and Affiliate List Profits Workshop had surprise guest experts who were not originally planned.

Thanks again to my good friends, Fabian Lim and Patric Chan – I look forward to working with both of you again in the very near future!

Hello from the Suntec Convention Center at Fabian Lim’s Asia Internet Congress in Singapore!

Simon Leung at Asia Internet Congress Singapore

For the past week, I have been spending a lot of time with Fabian Lim and the Asia Internet Congress team as they held two powerful back-to-back events in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Singapore.

This weekend’s Asia Internet Congress event in Singapore is even bigger than last weekend’s in Malaysia, with over twice the number of attendees inside the jam-packed conference room.

In addition to the speakers who presented at Asia Internet Congress in Malaysia, which included Patric Chan, Jaz Lai, Sean Roach, David Cavanagh and Kishore M, Fabian Lim has added Jo Han Mok, Benjamin Wee and Ivan Wong to the Asia Internet Congress Singapore roster.

At the close of Asia Internet Congress, Fabian Lim held a Best Speaker Award ceremony where he asked the attendees to vote for the event’s most inspirational speaker.

Hello from the Wisma MCA at Fabian Lim’s Asia Internet Congress 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!

Simon Leung at Asia Internet Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I’m very excited that Fabian Lim has invited me back to the Asia Internet Congress stage, as I was one of the speakers at the original Asia Internet Congress in Singapore back in 2007, which was also my very first speaking engagement in Singapore.

Since meeting for the first time at that event, Fabian Lim and I have become very close friends, speaking at each other’s events, and also planning some exciting events of our own scheduled to launch in Q1 of 2010.

I have decided to partner with Fabian Lim not only because he is a great friend who knows what he is doing when it comes to search engine optimization and Pay-Per-Click advertising, but also because he is one of the few promoters who knows how to put on amazing live events.

And it was definitely no exception this weekend at Asia Internet Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

An event complete with some of the top experts in the world, motivated audience, well-trained crew and exceptional planning, Asia Internet Congress also included several full-blown 90 minute trainings from Fabian Lim himself.

In addition to the individual speaker presentations, expert panels and networking sessions, Asia Internet Congress is definitely one of the highest valued live events anyone can expect to attend at any given time.

And next weekend, I am very excited to return to Fabian Lim’s stage once again when he hosts Asia Internet Congress in Singapore.

Hello from the iTrain office at the MyGoogle Workshop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!

MyGoogle Workshop Training
It was very exciting to reunite with the students who signed up for the MyGoogle Workshop two weeks ago, and you can tell that they are all super stoked to attend the weekend event.

Throughout the weekend, I, along with Patric Chan and David DiNucci, revealed step-by-step how to build a complete Internet business using only Google and its many hidden gems that most people don’t know about.

MyGoogle Workshop Q&A Session with David DiNucci and Patric Chan
We discussed how to use Google to conduct market research, find various revenue models for monetization, manage projects and teams with their tools and generate buyers with the countless traffic generation strategies available.

The response we received from our students was nothing but stellar, and we are glad to have had the opportunity to share these Internet business strategies with this handful of serious entrepreneurs.

In an economy that undoubtedly has more to be desired, especially within a country where its own government is having economic struggles, these serious entrepreneurs now has a significant advantage knowing what they know to go out there and build themselves a more stable financial future.

It’s been several months since I’ve seen Patric Chan and his beautiful wife, Emily Khoo, and each time we visit Malaysia, they never cease to amaze me how well they take care of us.

Check out some of these shots of our suite at the Ritz Carlton Residences…

Hello from Saloon V of the Gurney Plaza at the MYAdWords Workshop in Penang, Malaysia!

MYAdWords Workshop In Salon V Of The Gurney Plaza

The MYAdWords Workshop is the first collaboration between Patric Chan and I in our new partnership of Malaysia marketing events, and we have successfully completed our premiere workshop together in his hometown of Penang.

Throughout the weekend, we took our students through a series of content training, live demonstrations, hands-on account creation, campaign reviews and Q&A sessions.

As if our jam-packed agenda and tight schedule for the MYAdWords Workshop weren’t overwhelming enough, Patric Chan and I (through no pre-planning whatsoever, I promise!), managed to confuse our attendees even more by dressing exactly alike!

Simon Leung (Left) & Patric Chan (Right) – Or Is It?

Imagine that! As if Asians don’t look enough alike already! Haha… just kidding.

All joking aside, we had only one weekend to attain our objectives to intensely train a room full of Internet Marketing newbies how to build an Internet business using Google AdWords, so Patric Chan and I, along with our awesome team, worked agressively with MYAdWords students to make sure that all their questions were answered.

By the end of the weekend, Patric Chan and I were extremely proud to be able to deliver the type of information that we did, and to teach a room full of complete newbies the skills they need in order to build a successful Internet business at home.

After the MYAdWords Workshop was over, we celebrated the completion of our successful weekend over nice dinner and wine…

Needless to say, the MYAdWords Workshop was a tremendous success, so Patric Chan and I are definitely looking forward to bringing more of the Internet’s best information to Malaysia.

After this trip, I will be returning to Malaysia – next time in Kuala Lumpur – to work on my next live workshop on the topic of Google Marketing with Patric Chan.

If you are in or near Kuala Lumpur, or are willing to travel there to join us (heck, I’ll be flying half-way across the world from San Francisco to be there!), then we would definitely like to have you take part in yet another historic event.

Hello from Room 2907 of The Northam All Suite hotel in Penang, Malaysia, where we have just completed our free preview seminars for the My AdWords Internet Marketing Workshop.

My AdWords Free Preview Seminar

The My AdWords Workshop is my first official partnership with local Penang native and fellow Internet Marketer, Patric Chan, and the exciting thing is that we already have several more upcoming events in the plans, where we will expand more of our Internet Marketing content all across Malaysia!

This is also my first trip to Penang, and despite being exhausted from over 25 hours of travel from San Francisco to Hong Kong and to Singapore before finally landing in Penang, we had our first My AdWords free preview seminar within just 2 hours after my arrival.

My AdWords Preview Seminar One At The Gurney Hotel In Penang, Malaysia

After a much needed good night’s rest, Patric Chan and his wife Emily Chan spent the next day taking me around Penang to explore the city.

They were very gracious hosts, driving Cassey Lim and I around town and even hitting up some exquisite local Penang seafood!

The relaxing day proved wonders as we proceeded to prepare for our second preview seminar of the trip, where Patric Chan and I actually tripled our response rate from day one, selling out seats to the first ever My AdWords Workshop scheduled in 2 weeks right here in Penang.

My AdWords Preview Seminar Two At The Vistana Hotel In Penang, Malaysia

So the show is on – the first ever My AdWords Workshop will be held in Penang, Malaysia, on February 21st and 22nd!

This concludes my first trip to Penang, and I’ll be spending the next two weeks back in Singapore until I return for the My AdWords Workshop.

Before leaving Penang, Patric Chan and I did get the chance to sit down for an interview on Google AdWords…

This is 18 minutes of 100% pure content… no fluff or funny stuff… and you can watch the whole thing for free right here.

Hello from the Orchard Parade Hotel in Singapore, where I am making my virtual presentation for Ross Goldberg’s Virtual Masters Internet Marketing Seminar!

The Virtual Masters Internet Marketing Seminar is Ross Goldberg’s third Masters Seminar this year (Masters Seminar Las Vegas and Masters Seminar Chicago), and I’m extremely honored to have been a part of all three of them.

My Virtual Masters Internet Marketing Seminar presentation was scheduled for 2pm EST, which was 3am for me in Singapore…

And because Ross Goldberg made the mistake of allowing me to speak for as long as I wanted to, I continued talking for over two hours until I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore at 5:30am!

But it didn’t matter, because the environment was fun and interactive, and I enjoyed presenting in the virtually interactive seminar chatroom in front of fabulous attendees from all around the world.

Even though there is tremendous value in live events, the Virtual Masters Internet Marketing Seminar could not have come at a better time since I am still in Singapore, and would not have been able to make it if it’d been a physical event.

But with over 600 registered attendees, it’s safe to bet that the virtual seminar has the potential to reach a lot more people from all over the world since they have such easy access to all the great content and networking without having to leave the comfort of their own homes!

And why would they want to, when for seven whole days, they could learn from Mark Joyner, Yanik Silver, Joel Comm, Matt Bacak, Ray Edwards, Kevin Nations, Stuart Tan, Lee & Robin Collins, Howie Schwartz, Michel & Silvie Fortin, Patric Chan, Warren Whitlock, Colin McDougall, Deb Micek, Alan Bechtold, Erik Stafford, Bob the Teacher, Dan Nickerson, David Wilkinson, Brad Semp, Kevin Riley, Carrie Wilkerson, Lynn Terry, David Preston, Mari Smith and Micheal Savoie!

Is that a crazy list or what?

If you haven’t already registered for this Virtual Masters Internet Marketing Seminar, it’s not too late…

The Virtual Masters Internet Marketing Seminar does not conclude until Sunday, December 14th, and you will still have the chance to view ALL of the recorded presentations until January 1st, 2009.

I highly recommend that you take full advantage of this awesome opportunity to not only save money on travels and accommodation of a live seminar, but also get complete access to some of the brightest minds in Internet Marketing…

Hello from Singapore Management University (SMU) at Fabian Lim’s Asia Internet Congress 2008 in Singapore!

Before I began organizing my own seminars and workshops in Asia, I first presented on the Singapore platform at Fabian Lim’s Asia Internet Congress 2007 last year.

(You can read my blog post and view a video recorded on stage by clicking on the link above or here)

This year, I was invited to stop by Asia Internet Congress again and had the chance to meet up with some of Asia’s most talented Internet Marketers, including Jo Han Mok, Patric Chan, Jaz Lai, Benjamin Wee, Eugene Ang, Alvin Phang, Ian Del Carmen and Virpi Tervonen.

Just like he did with Asia Internet Congress 2007, Fabian Lim highly encouraged networking between his speakers and attendees, organizing hours of breakout sessions in addition to the stage time, where his presenters delivered some amazing content for the Singapore audience.

The networking with fellow speakers and attendees in Asia was remarkable, and Asia Internet Congress was an impressive example of how a successful Internet Marketing conference should run.
