Hello from Las Vegas Hilton Convention Center where I spent 3 days at PPC Classroom Live 3.

Hats off to Anik Singal as not only a good friend, but someone who really ecellerated my career in Pay Per Click Affiliate Marketing.

I remember the first PPC Classroom Live in Las Vegas, where I made a comittment to come learn from Anik & the rest of the speakers. It only seems like it was yesterday. These guys definiately have come a long way to bring more than 18,000 people into the training, 500 people at this event to network and share their success stories.

The first day begun where the brought up the coaches on stage. At PPC Classroom Live 2, Anik had asked me to come on board and help train the students as a VIP Coach.

After working with the student for over 6 months, it is a great honor to finally meet some of them in person. So we started the 1st day by introducing the VIP coaches on stage so students can come to us during the event to help answer any questions they might have.

What I really enjoy is to really spend some face time with students to help review their current strategies as well as share what tactics I applied for my own business.

It was great to be part of the panel to help answer questions in the VIP session. I actually had caught a flu last week in Texas. I was glad I was able to make it through the event that day.

Day 2 was great when I was up on stage presenting with my business partner Simon Leung. We went into more detail in terms of the strategies we deploy as an agency as well as training materials we used to train our team in China.

Sharing our actual results of a success campaign. $1.2 Million in gross sales revenue with less than $9,000 adspent.

It was a great to be able to spent sometimes not only with the students, but the support staff of Lurn who are behind PPC Classroom that is teaching the 10s of 1000s of entrepreneurs worldwide.

Hello from the Crown Plaza Riverwalk in Downtown San Antonio,

I was invited by my partner Simon Leung to speak at http://www.unseminar6.com/ just a week before PPC Classroom Live about affiliate marketing.

This was my first speaking event to the internet marketing audience as I had been off stage for a few year really building my business.

Unseminar by Pat O’Bryan was the first event I been to this year that is completely different than the other marketing event I have been to. The overall agenda & speaker was amazing as is core knowledge is something the audience could implement right away to see a significant impact to their current or new business.

Dr Joe Vitale is the author of way too many bestselling books to mention here. Some of them include The Attractor Factor, Life’s Missing Instruction Manual, The Key and Zero Limits.

He’s also recorded many audio programs, including “The Missing Secret” and the new one, “The Secret to Attracting Money.” Joe has also been in eleven movies, including the blockbuster ”The Secret” and the recent one, “The Compass.”

He’s been on Larry King and Donny Deutsch’s TV shows. He created a Miracles Coaching program and helps people achieve their dreams by understanding the deeper aspects of the law of attraction and the law of right action.

Simon Leung & Lee Collins shared stage again after our last event with Mark Victor Hansen & Robert Allen during Cash in a Flash to teach the power of implementation and strategies of Web 2.0 media.

I was very excited to be a part of this event, and certainly prepare in depth strategies for the attendees to start making money right away on the internet using my proven affiliate models that you dont need a website to make 6 figure monthly.

Overall, unseminar event turn out to be better than I had expected. It was a great pleasure speaking with the students and have the ability to impact their overall business in 2009. I look forward to be a part of Pat’s great success, and hope to meet you at the next event.

To your continual success!

Hello from the Singapore Expo Center at The SMART Seminar 2008

Stuart Tan And Simon Leung At The SMART Seminar 2008 Singapore

After one hell of an event at The SMART Seminar 2008 in Malaysia last weekend, The team has traveled to Singapore in preperation for the next SMART seminar. The organizer Simon & Stuart knew that they had a ton of expectations to meet this weekend when they debuted The SMART Seminar in Singapore.

The overall turn out rate was better than expected, and there were some powerhouse speakers who delivered amazing content to the students at this event.

Stephen Pierce At The SMART Seminar 2008 Singapore

Mike Koenigs At The SMART Seminar 2008 Singapore

There were 2 new speakers, Steven Pierce and Mike Koenigs, are in addition to the same expert talents who presented at The SMART Seminar Malaysia the previous week, including Anik Singal, Ewen Chia, Lee Collins, Robin Collins, Donna Fox, Mike Morgan, Mark Widawer and Robert Puddy.

As expected, the surprise mystery speakers gave jaw dropping performances, and the entire audience were completely floored by the level of information shared in their content-packed presentations.

Much like the previous weekend in Malaysia, The SMART Seminar in Singapore also brought the speakers and attendees together with the breakout sessions…

But in addition to the two new speakers, what distinguished The SMART Seminar in Singapore was that we actually streamed most of the event through live video so people could watch the presentations all around the world!

Over 100 viewers joined us from all across the world throughout the weekend, including other top name marketers like Mark Joyner, Matt Bacak and several others.

Overall, I would definitely consider the two week adventure of The SMART Seminar a tremendous success.

It was first seminar of its kind, and I am  very much looking forward to continuing my involvement for this epic era for many years to come, growing the project and expanding even to more areas around the world.

Hello from Ventura Technology Development Center on the filming set of the Social Media Simplified Web 2.0 Master Class in Ventura, CA!

Social Media Simplified Presenters Mari Smith, Deborah Micek, Linda Taylor, Denise Wakeman, Simon Leung And Nancy Marmolejo

I picked up Simon from Ontario airport that morning and drove for 2 hours to Ventura to be part in Social Media Simplified filming.

Simon was invited by to speak at the event to join the ranks of Linda Taylor, Deborah Micek (AKA CoachDeb), Mari Smith, Denise Wakeman (one half of the BlogSquad team with Patsi Krakoff) and Nancy Marmolejo to speak on Google Optimization through Social Media.

Throughout the day, we learned a ton of great information about marketing with social media, utilizing Web 2.0 tools such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and CoachDeb’s own Blog i360 system as a blogging platform.

During the presentation, Simon shared some of the social media tools, widgets, plugins and strategies that he personally use for his own blog to maximize the quality and quantity of traffic coming into his website, but also to have some fun and share some laughs with the great audience, as well.

In fact, we had so much fun that most of the attendees at Social Media Simplified felt that Simon’s presentation was more entertaining than it was informative! ( His presentation is getting better everytime he speaks)

Towards the end of the shooting, all the presenters got together on stage to organize an expert panel, where we conducted live critiques of attendees’ blogs and answered questions from the audience.

After the Social Media Simplified event was over, we brought the party over to our VIP dinner at a nearby French restaurant, where we had the opportunity to network more with one another. We invited Armando Montelongo to join us since he was in S. Cal this week.

Before leaving town the following evening, I invited the gange over to hanging out with CoachDeb, and James Lee, taking them to enjoy some of the best dim sum in town, as well as organizing our own “working party,” complete with sake and snacks!

If you weren’t able to attend Social Media Simplified, the entire event has been recorded and the DVD set will be made available within the next week, so stay tuned for more information about how you can get your hands on the amazing social marketing content so you don’t miss out!

In the meantime, you can keep up with posts, comments and photos from the Social Media Simplified presenters, attendees and fans on the #SMSV Twitter stream.

To your success!

An overall bullish market was good for that play—and will likely benefit our new Baxter International (BAX) calls as well–however this uptrend hurt the put side of our IWM strangle play. We made money on the call side but the put side expired worthless delivering an overall loss with both sides tallied.

The problem is we were stopped out of the call side on a one-day pullback before the really big profits could be made as the IWM continued higher—a rare example of how a trailing stop can sometimes work against you. Which brings up an important point—there is no set of trading rules on the planet that will make you money in EVERY instance—the best scenario is to embrace a set of rules that makes you money in MOST instances—and that is exactly what our automatic orders are designed to do.

The best traders in the world still take losses on many of their positions but manage to make money overall because they trade by a proven set of rules. And they’ll be the first to tell you trading without sticking to your own rules is the fastest way to the poor house. So even though our trailing stop didn’t work out on that play it does most of the time—and that assurance is what guarantees a winning record over the long run.

We’ve got a market with some fascinating influences—and the right sectors are still providing some great opportunities. To find out where let’s take a good look at…

WHICH WAY THIS MARKET IS HEADED

As you can see the markets have been marching relentlessly higher with the Nasdaq leading the charge. The word on The Street is “Sell commodities and buy technology” and that is exactly what we’ve been seeing.

The tech sector and the small caps continue to lead the markets higher. One of the reasons for the tech rally is the growing demand for chips. International Data Corp announced on Friday that worldwide chip shipments grew +3.1% in the second quarter from the first quarter and +16 increase from Q2-07. Analysts credited the strong demand for notebooks and a very aggressive push by Intel in PC chips. Analyst Shane Rau said Intel’s processor shipments drove the growth with a 4.3% growth in processors for the quarter and 20.8% year over year. That’s a pretty bullish story for an economy that’s supposed to be in a recession. They say there is always a bull market somewhere and the tech sector—and the small cap growth sector—seem to be it right now.

Meanwhile commodities and precious metals continue to get beaten to a pulp. Gold fell to around $776 Friday, a nine-month low. Silver fell over 19% in just the past seven trading sessions, near a one-year low of $12 an ounce.  Just about every commodity got slammed last week–all due to a potent combination of remarkable dollar strength and a sudden shift in trader sentiment. The prevailing wisdom says the global economy is entering a slowdown and there’ll be less need for materials, especially precious metals.

However gold, silver and the rest of the commodity sector won’t likely stay down for too long. Thursday’s inflationary CPI number, which showed U.S. consumer prices accelerating at a 17-year high pace, convinced currency traders that the Fed would refrain from lowering rates again. That assumption boosted the dollar index to a 2008 high.

So the dollar index settled Friday at an eight month high of 77.12 while the euro sells for $1.47, a six-month low. The pound closed around $1.86–you’d have to go all the way back to December 2006 to find the British currency that “cheap.” Over the last two weeks the dollar got another boost from the Russian attack on Georgia. Every time a conflict erupts overseas investors flee those currencies to the safety of the dollar.

However don’t let small news eclipse the big picture. The bottom line is a massive sea of newly created dollars over the past several years is inflationary and the only cure is raising interest rates to lessen the money supply. And with a global and US slowdown being the major concern central banks—and particularly the Federal Reserve—won’t likely be raising rates anytime soon. Which means inflation will continue and the dollar’s recent rise will likely be turned south sometime over the next several weeks. A turndown in the dollar will likely reverse the two major trends we’ve seen recently—a rising stock market and falling commodity prices.

That said the current stock trend is up and if we’re going to play we need to play the actual trend. Nowhere is the current optimism more apparent than in the financial sector. In spite of continuing bearish news the sector refused to fall—a pretty bullish sign in itself.

The financial sector (XLF) traded sideways last week in spite of continuing headwinds. Wachovia Bank (WB) announced a settlement on the auction rate security issue this past week. They agreed to buy back $8.5 billion in ARS and pay $50 million in fines. Wachovia is the 5th bank to agree to settle. The others were Citi, UBS, MS and JPM. Merrill is under fire and NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said he sent a letter to Merrill notifying them he will sue next week if they don’t settle. In addition late Friday the AG’s office said they were broadening their probe to include Fidelity and Schwab as sellers of the debt and 25 other companies. The markets somehow overlooked this news pushing the XLF higher Thursday and Friday but you have to wonder where these financial institutions are going to find the billions of dollars necessary to buy back their poison debt and pay their multi-million dollar fines.

The most likely scenario is more bail-outs from Uncle Sam (your tax dollars at work). And the only way to do that is create more funny money out of thin air—and that is inflationary.

So gold, silver, oil and every other commodity are not going to stay down forever—but they are sure doing a great swan dive for right now. Meanwhile the techs and certain other sectors are pushing higher almost on a daily basis.

Trade well!

Here is a tip of the day from Google Adwords Insiders

“We all know the importance of measuring the impact of your ad campaigns. That’s why, today, we’re discussing the term conversion from the AdWords Glossary, which is defined as follows:

When a user completes an action on your site, such as buying something or requesting more information.

In AdWords, a conversion occurs when a user clicks on your ad, then proceeds to complete an action on your web site that you deem valuable, like a purchase, registration, or sign-up. You can track actions like this on your web site by using one (or both) of the tools we offer:

1. Conversion tracking: A tool for measuring conversion metrics for your campaigns.
2. Google Analytics: A more robust tool that tracks not just conversions, but also gives insight into how your web site visitors found your site, how they navigated through it and how you can improve their user experience — all things that ultimately help you improve the ROI of your web site.

Both conversion tracking and Google Analytics are free tools and are great ways of ensuring advertising accountability and making smarter online advertising decisions.
