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 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 the Silverado Resort at Larry Benet’s Speakers and Authors Networking Group (SANG) in Napa Valley, CA!

I drove up here to Napa Valley today with Eric Farewell, not knowing what to expect at Larry Benet’s Authors and Speakers Networking Group (SANG), and really not even deciding whether or not to come until earlier this afternoon.

But once we arrived at Authors and Speakers Networking Group, we were completely floored by the caliber of business individuals and entrepreneurs present all in one room…

We’re talking about best selling authors, multi-millionaires and even billionaires, including Jack Canfield (from the Chicken Soup of the Soul series), Bill Bartmann, Ron LeGrand, Alex Mandossian, Stephen Pierce, Joel Comm, Russell Brunson, John Carlton, Armando Montelongo, Veronica Montelongo, Brendon Burchard, Mike Koenigs, Kevin Nations, Matt Morris and dozens more.

Umm… yeah, this event was NO joke, dude!

This truly was a solid networking event, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a more brilliant relationship building event model than the one I have witnessed at the Authors and Speakers Networking Group.

In addition to the speed networking sessions, everyone continued to network non-stop through dinner, and even after the event was over, hanging out at the hotel bar into the wee hours of the night.

Because I have yet to replace my broken camera and Eric Farewell also forgot his camera equipment at my house, we were unfortunately unable to capture too many moments of the Authors and Speakers Networking Group on film.

However, for your viewing pleasure, Eric Farewell has gone ahead and done a couple extra 12 second videos for you at the Silverado Resort in Napa Valley (ya he’s not as good with these 12 second videos as I am haha)…

Hello from Room 1116 of the Westin Hotel at Ross Goldberg’s Masters Seminar in Chicago, IL!

As you can see from the Masters Seminar sign, Ross Goldberg has gone all out with a high budget production for his latest Masters Seminar.

All joking aside, the sign above was only temporary while we awaited the print-outs of the real sign, which was ready before the doors opened at 8am on Friday morning…

For this Masters Seminar, Ross Goldberg has put together the most impressive expert line-up yet, including some of the biggest names in Internet Marketing.

Speakers include Joel Comm, Anik Singal, Donna Fox, Ken McArthur, Willie Crawford, Alan Bechtold, Frank Sousa, Lee Collins, Robin Collins, Nathan Anderson, Tracy Repchuk, Eric Farewell, Kevin Nations, Brad Semp, Eric Stafford, Bob Jenkins, Gina Gaudio-Graves, and myself…

As always, Ross Goldberg put on a great event that not only included a ton of amazing content, but fun networking opportunities as well.

Speakers and attendees alike were able to network with one another at the conference, over lunch, dinner, at the hotel bar and even at a private cocktail party.

And within our own inner circle of friends, we’ve always believed in giving back and over-delivering…

So Joel Comm and I decided that we would do a bonus presentation for the attendees on a very logical partnership – the two sides of Google, AdWords and AdSense…

During the 90 minute or so presentation, Joel Comm and I told some personal stories and revealed some strategic ways to grow a business using AdWords and AdSense.

In addition, we also took specific questions from the audience to make sure that the content we provided was the kind of information they wanted to learn.

Overall, the consensus was that the bonus session was very valuable, and those in attendance were very appreciative of the additional content.

On a more personal note…

As much as I enjoy speaking at seminars and networking with attendees or other speakers, I feel like it might be time for me to take my own business to a new direction.

When I came back home from Asia last March, I planned to stop speaking at so many seminars to focus on my own office projects and business overseas.

However, before I knew it, my travel schedule was booked every weekend through the end of the summer.

While I continued to have fun at these various events over the summer, I’m planning once again to focus on various other aspects of my business that would require less seminar speaking.

This time, I’m serious…

I do plan to continue traveling, as I have a lot of fun doing it, but I would only do so for my own events or for International business affairs.

You’ll hear more about some exciting new projects I have in the works in Singapore, Malaysia and China in the upcoming months…

I’ll be working with my good friends Stuart Tan and Ewen Chia from Singapore, as well as some of my top performing team members, Andy Huang and Kevin Finney.

That will probably be several weeks down the line for production and launch time.

In the meantime, if you are interested in catching me one last time before I leave the country again in about a month, I will be in Long Island, NY, on August 8th, at the Three Sides of Traffic workshop that I’ll be conducting with Ross Goldberg and Howie Schwartz.

Because we’re so close to Mike Filsaime’s Long Island office, Mike Filsaime and his team will most likely drop by as well, along with several other surprise VIPs over the course of the weekend.

And again, because we believe so much in giving back, Ross Goldberg, Howie Schwartz and myself are actually not going to make any money from this traffic workshop.

Plus, in addition to receiving a free ticket to this event, you will also have an opportunity to give back yourself by helping children in need.

I honestly can’t think of a better way to wrap up my two year speaking tour than this, and would be honored to share this experience with you…

Hello from Joel Comm’s exquisitely decorated guest room at his gigantic beautiful house in Loveland, Colorado!

The ride was about 45 minutes to Joel Comm’s house, where I met his wife, Mary, and his kids, Zach and Jenna.

We soon left for dinner at the Mongolian Grill, where we met up with our graphic designers, Robert Secades and Danny Arzuaga from GraphicMavericks.com.

There, Joel Comm also revealed the secret Confessional location from his hit show, The Next Internet Millionaire.

Following dinner, we returned to Joel Comm’s house, where we spent a little time in his home office talking shop.

That conversation quickly got boring, and we decided to play some video games in his basement instead.

Turns out our video game of choice is more like a mix between live band and karaoke, as we rocked the house with “Rock Band” for PS3!

When the Graphic Mavericks took off, Joel Comm and I enjoyed a movie on his giant screen home theater…

If you’re on Joel Comm’s list, you would’ve seen that this week’s Joel’s Tips talks about his Joel Comm Live show that he has every Wednesday at 1pm EST.

And this week, I’m his special guest (full episode available below)…

Before we head out and call it a day, I’m gonna go need to whoop Joel Comm’s butt one last time on Guitar Heroes 3 for XBox 360

While I do that, check out this week’s episode of Joel Comm Live:

I’m still trying to catch up after my Nashville trip from over the weekend.

I really enjoy going to live events because of all the wonderful people I meet there.

But most of the time, it is usually the successful networking at these events that contribute to my backlog because when I get home, I am often greeted by dozens of emails in my inbox from the people that I met.

Now don’t get me wrong – I love to hear from people and in fact, I would prefer it, since I am so busy that it really helps me out if someone follows up with me.

The only challenge is that I have to spend a lot of time sorting through my email and replying to them after I remove the junk email and separate the business emails from the personal ones.

That’s why I was so excited when my friend, Joel Comm, sent me an Instant Message the other day to tell me about a super cool new script that will solve this problem completely!

It’s called My Contact Station and it’s basically a website contact solution that installs onto your website easily in just 10 minutes.
