Yummy… one of the things I rally loved about San Francisco is the great food. I mean just look at that, awesome roasted pork ribs was so huge I had to share it with Melvin. Food here comes in extra large helpings and although I’m a poor eater in Malaysia, I have no problem finishing my food here.

Just 5 minutes walk from Mariott is a restaurant called “The Elephant Bar” – and that’s where we went for the past 2 days. There’s so much great food here, we didn’t mind waiting for 15 minutes to be seated.

Adwords is a great way to get traffic to your sites, but if you’re just getting into it today, please do get a book or attend a seminar about it or you may end up losing some money in your trial-and-error process!

So ends day 2 of WIME

Actually there are a lot more pictures, but I’ll just show you the important ones tomorrow.

This the hotel I’m staying in, the Marriott. Parts of the hotel seems to be under construction but that won’t spoil the fun

It’s quite an isolated location actually, with the nearest convenience store about 30 minutes away by foot.

I guess I haven’t updated this blog in over a week now, as I’ve been busy with so many things all at once.

So here’s the updates I’ve missed blogging about.

Firstly, I’m now in San Francisco with Melvin Ng and Vince Tan. Thanks a lot to all your support for the SendUsTo.US firesale!

The first thing we did when we arrived on the 11th is to get some sleep. After all the turbulence on China airlines, we really needed to sleep on a non-moving surface.

Then, it’s off to shopping, round 1. I was sad to find out that the iPod Touch will only be available in stores on or after 28 September 2007, by which time we may already be back home.

So I guess I’ll give it one more shot before our return flight, which is more than 2 weeks from now. This is a really long holiday, but I’ll also be working “part-time”

While there, we’re also working on Firesale Exposed, in which we reveal exactly how we managed to rake in $69,000 in 7 days using the “firesale” concept.

You can register now on the site before it launches. We will launch our new collaboration product in US, the first time either of us actually launched anything so far away from home.

Meanwhile, I’m also improving my Easy Audio Products ebook to include all types of audio interview methods, not just via Skype. This will make is a more complete products as I know a lot of people have unanswered questions about setting up and recording interviews.

So tomorrow morning, we’ll have to register for the World Internet Main Event at 10.00am, and the event itself starts at 2.00pm. The event will last for 4 days, and after that we’re officially on vacation.

If you happen to be there, look out for 3 guys wearing the SendUsTo.US ‘uniforms’… hehe..

That’s it for now, I really need to sleep

It’s titled Fleur de Lis, and yes, it’s published by the same Internet marketer that gave you Instant Article Wizard and 3-Way Links.

Here’s what Jon wrote in his email:

I am proud to say that I finished the novel, and on-time at that.  I’ve got my proof copy laying on my desk right now, and let me tell you: the feeling I get from seeing it in printed form right in front of me is fantastic.  

It’s the indescribable feeling of having a dream come true.

It’s a murder-mystery-conspiracy novel (my wife’s favorite kind, of course).

Here’s the synopsis of the book:

“Small town private investigator Natasha Rousseau takes
her first major case. A grieving mother does not believe
the police when they tell her that her son has committed
suicide. What Natasha discovers in her investigation is
unbelievable: dark forces that wield extorted power over
the small, historic town of Natchitoches, Louisiana.

“In a desperate attempt to discover the identity of the
hand that pulls the puppet’s strings, Natasha finds her
life, and that of her only friend, in grave danger. Can
she discover the source and free the town from its bondage
in time to stop the powers that be from executing their
ultimate sinister plan? Or will she fail, becoming just
another victim in the wake of the organization’s bloody
history …”

The title of the novel is “Fleur De Lis”, and I have had 100 first-edition copies printed.  I will have a second edition printed in larger numbers in a few weeks, but if you’re interested in a genuine first edition, here’s your chance.
To see the cover, or purchase one of the remaining 96 copies of the first edition (the first four went to a relative), go to: http://fleurdelisnovel.com/

If you purchase a copy, please allow up to 14 days for delivery, as I will be personally packing and shipping each one of the first-editions. And remember, Gobala: whatever your dreams are, with the right motivation and a goal-oriented deadline, you WILL see your dreams come true.

All I can say is WOW.

Something big is coming. It will take the Internet by storm.

It will make some people happy, others mad.

It will start with a bang, and be over before you know it.

Be warned. Be ready. Something big is coming.

Vince Tan knows. Melvin Ng knows.

You will know too, on the 2th July 2007.

Last weekend I attended a small wedding dinner function hosted by my friend Khai. Congratulations to him and his wife – they got married on 7 July 2007 i.e 777! It was a nice, cosy dinner and we had a lot of innocent fun playing board games. You can find more photos on Edmund’s blog.

There I met Senze for the first time, one of the pioneers of Internet marketing in Malaysia. A lot of Internet marketers in Malaysia have either attended his seminar or bought his book, or both. He’s a really nice guy, quite down-to-earth and soft-spoken.

I had more than given up with board games since I suck at Monopoly and no one wants to play Risk with me. But Khai is a master of what’s called “designer board games”. Basically it means rare, less-popular titles that usually come with the signature and profile of the individual creator of the game.

A new game I played, called Lifeboat, was all about back-stabbing. It seemed pretty boring at first but as the game grew it became more interesting.

And master back-stabber Edmund Loh (second from right) was at his best, almost killed me off early. He used his Jedi mind tricks on us beginners and Jie Ming (first from left) seemed like he was falling for it.

In the end though, Khai won. Actually we let him win because it’s his big day.

Paypal: New website, same attitude.

Just another day in Internet marketing.

Kim Standerline from Easy Member Pro has decided to sweeten the deal for my Easy Member Pro competition by offering another free copy of the software – now I can select 2 winners instead of one

Kim has already selected the winners actually. I’m in the process of notifying them and confirming the details. Once the winners have accepted their gifts I’ll announce the results on this blog.

Thanks Kim!

Would you like to win a free membership site software, powered by Easy Member Pro worth $137? All you need to do is to tell me and Kim Standerline why we should give it to you.

This crazy idea came to me in a dream. Back in December 2006 I won a free copy of Easy Member Pro, but till date I have not used the membership site software. Although this is a lifetime license and I can use it whenever I want to, I decided to let another deserving person who can put it to good use take over my site license. After chatting with the creators of the software, Anthony Hull and Kim Standerline, I got the green light to do so.

Some of it’s key benefits of the Easy Member Pro membership site software:

• Easy to use, WYSIWYG interface with built-in web page builder and editor
• Supports both Paypal and 2CheckOut, use either one of both
• Allows for “One Time Offers”, free members sign-up and different payment options (monthly, yearly etc)
• Supports “monthly content”, members cannot download content for previous months – ideal for monthly payments sites
• Built-in affiliate program, automatic affiliate signup and link generation
• Generate full payment / affiliate reports
• Web templates included

You can get full information at www.EasyMembersPro.com

Here’s what you need to do to win a free license:

1. Write a comment below (200 min and 500 max) on why you deserve to win
2. Mention your plans – how you want to utilize the membership site software to it’s fullest, what you want to sell
3. Tell us why Easy Member Pro is suited for your plan of starting a new membership site
4. Give us an exact date of when your new membership site can be up and running if you win – no estimates
5. If you have a blog, link to this post (optional) and announce that you’re trying to win a free membership site software

I hate rules, but I know that if there aren’t any someone will find a loophole somewhere and hold us hostage of our own words.

So here are the rules:

1. Each member can only create ONE submission, on this blog
2. You cannot already own an Easy Member Pro membership site software
3. If you want to comment on someone else’s entry, you must use the “Reply to Comments” function or your comment will be deleted to make space for actual submissions

To be fair, Kim Standerline from Easy Member Pro will select the winner, not me. Contest ends 15th June 2007, and the winner will be announced on this blog post itself.
