“Southern Leyte Blogger” is what his blog is called, Sustines E. Laplana claims he is the first Pinoy Blogger in Southern Leyte, Philippines. A graduate of BS Electrical Engineering, he now blogs full time from from Maasin City, Southern Leyte, Philippines.

Sustines’ blog is mostly about starting your own Internet home business and making money online. However, some of the posts also diverge into unrelated topics like TV shows and what not.

Then I figured it out – the content is about anything related to the Philippines, or course. Silly me…

You may already know this, but still, let me just say it.

If you’re going to World Internet Summit in Singapore next weekend, you’re in for a ride. Firstly, there are so many big names at this event that just seeing them would probably inspire you enough to carry on with your Internet home business for a few months.

Let’s see, there are the founders of this event:

• Tom Hua
• Bret Mc Fall

Then there is the small army of Internet marketing gurus:

• Stephen Pierce
• Ewen Chia
• Mike Filsaime
• Armand Morin
• John Childers

Then there are the featured speakers, who will probably be on live video conferencing (what, you thought they’re actually speaking on stage?):

• Jay Abraham
• Mark Joyner

I paid SGD197 for tickets, and inclusive of travel and accommodation it will probably come up to SGD400+. I won’t be surprised that a number of people are getting in for free.

After attending AIMS and WIS in Kuala Lumpur less than a year ago, I told myself that I won’t be going for any seminars this year. So why am I, and what can you expect if you’re a first-timer?

First you need to understand the business model of the World Internet Summit series. Instead of being a seminar about how to make money online, it’s a showcase of seminars on how to make money online. Every speaker on stage runs their own seminar business, and at the end of each presentation they will sell you their own seminars.

That’s why the price is lower than most other established seminars on Internet marketing – they only need to cover the overhead costs.

Very smart, indeed.

But that’s not a bad thing, if you understand that World Internet Summit isn’t the actual seminar. It’s an event where they sell seminars.

I don’t think it will be as annoying as WIS KL since they have lesser speakers, but I wonder what they are going to do over 4 days – I haven’t managed to get hold of the schedule yet.

There’s no doubt though that you can enormous amount of content from the speakers, but often the speakers are experts in different areas on Internet marketing, and the end result as I mentioned in my previous post, can be a massive headache

If you’re going to WIS Singapore, do this:

• If you’re serious about signing up for any of the packages, I suggest that you read about the speakers and their business model.
• Determine what you need, and choose before you get into WIS because as you might expect the speakers are all excellent marketers and you don’t want to be pitting your wits against them
• If you know absolutely nothing about making money online, I suggest you do with whatever Ewen Chia is offering (probably related to affiliate marketing) as I believe his package is the best value for money, and the most appropriate for newbies.
• If you’re an intermediate marketer, I’d suggest anything by John Childers or Mike Filsaime
• If you’re an advanced marketer perhaps try Stephen Pierce or don’t buy any of the packages at all. Take the breaks to have your own mini-seminar and sign-up new members for YOUR program… lol

So don’t say we didn’t tell you.

Me? I’m going there on holiday

I just got my tickets to the World Internet Summit in Singapore on the 26th May. And guess what, I can also bring a friend. Would you like to be that friend?

Here’s all you need to do to get that free ticket:

Leave a comment below and tell me why you want to go to WIS, and why you deserve a free ticket more than anyone else in the world.

…and the ticket will be yours. Just leave a comment below and tell your story. My final date is on May 10, so get writing now. Best entry wins, and I’ll announce the winner.

More information on WIS Singapore: www.worldinternetsummit.com – ticket price at $197 Singapore dollars, and about 3000 – 5000 participants estimated. A great opportunity to meet and network, and listen to about 10-30 sales pitches, upsells, downsells, and get massively confused about everything (just kidding)..

Before I forget…food, travel and lodging are not covered
