Hello from the Crowne Plaza Riverwalk at Pat O’Bryan’s UnSeminar6 in San Antonio, Texas!

UnSeminar6 Presentation with Lee Collins

This year at UnSeminar6, I decided to do something a little different with my presentation and shared the stage with Lee Collins, whom I’ve presented with before on a few other occasions.

Together, Lee Collins and I overdelivered in two different presentation slots, first talking about how to do effective niche and market research, followed by how effective social media strategies help you rank well on Google.

In fact, we had so much information to share that we even decided to extend our presentation at the last minute, ordering pizza for the attendees so that they can stay through lunch!

There’s no doubt that the attendees got more than their money’s worth at UnSeminar6, especially since they were also able to meet and learn from other experts like Dr. Joe Vitale, Ben Mack, Craig Perrine, Wendi Friesen, Bill Hibbler, Eric Farewell, Erica Douglass, Nathan Anderson, Tony Laidig and my business partner, Andy Huang.

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 1170 of the Drury Plaza Hotel at Pat O’Bryan’s UnSeminar 5 in San Antonio, Texas!

It’s great to return to San Antonio since my very first Internet Marketing seminar in May of 2006, as well as my first speaking engagement three months later in August, also happened right here in San Antonio.

But this time, it was a much more exciting experience…

In front of a jam packed room, I had the honor of sharing the stage with Dr. Joe Vitale, Craig Perrine, Bill Hibbler, Ben Mack, Donna Fox, Eric Farewell, Scott Lewis, Tony Laidig, Erica Douglass, and of course, Pat O’Bryan himself.

As with most seminars, the live networking at UnSeminar 5 was amazing, especially with the killer line-up of speakers and motivated attendees.

However, you know that time has definitely changed when the power of Web 2.0 not only brought on an additional 150 viewers from all around the world through live streaming…

But Twitter (one of the most popular Web 2.0 social marketing tools available today for networking) was also responsible for selling 1/3 of the tickets to the event, as well as booking several of the speakers!

Plus, throughout the weekend, we continued to network both online and offline, getting more and more people to sign up for Web 2.0 profiles like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and more.

UnSeminar 5 was probably one of the most interactive Internet Marketing conferences I’ve been a part of that encouraged so many people to take action, whether or not they were live at the actual event.

I personally had a lot of fun not only at the conference itself, but the most invaluable experiences of all was the opportunity to hang out with speakers and attendees alike for lunch, dinner and throughout the evenings at the Riverwalk, Alamo and some of the more happening downtown areas.

Now, because my camera is broken (boo) and I haven’t gotten a replacement yet, I’m now at the mercy of my friends who did take photos to send them to me.

But while we wait for them, here are a few TwitPics (photo service for Twitter) that my friends and I took on our phones and posted online throughout the weekend…

Texas BBQ With Eric Farewell, Donna Fox And Erica Douglass

Remember The Alamo, Y’all!

Special thanks to my friends for making this a weekend to remember: Donna Fox, Eric Farewell, Ben Mack, James Wedmore, Heather Duease, Marlon Sanders, Erica Douglass, Pat O’Bryan, Scott Lewis, Joe Vitale, Craig Perrine, Bill Hibbler and Tony Laidig.

I’m sure I’ll be seeing you guys around, especially if you’re interested in attending some of my future events in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

But if you don’t want to wait that long or travel that far (depending on where you’re located), you can catch me at my final U.S. workshop this year on August 8th and 9th in Long Island, NY, when Howie Schwartz, Ross Goldberg and I host the Three Sides Of Traffic Workshop.
