Ask Melvin Ng

It all started with a decision…the decision to purchase Mike Filsaime’s I5 Gold Coaching Program. When we found out that the package came with tickets to the World Internet Main Event (WIME), we somehow decided to do something about it and a vision was created. When a vision is put into motion, results follows. And that’s what happened when we launched out very first firesale, SendUsTo.US

There  we are, the 3 Musketeers at the WIME wearing a t-shirt with our firesale domain printed on it. Are we gurus in the making? I don’t consider myself so. I think the term’s overrated anyway. We’re just like you, ordinary people who dare to dream, and we took action.

We were pretty ‘famous’ there because people recognized the firesale domain, and came up to us to greet us. And a few of them even helped fund our trip by purchasing the package. I sincerely thank all of you who made it possible, our dear customers, awesome affiliates, and my 2 other wonderful partners.

And here’s Harris Fellman, our Top Affiliate for our firesale!

And not forgetting the wonderful Mulac family! Greg and Stephanie, with their 2 wonderful daughters, Marina and Morgan. Check out their site at 90 Percent Attitude

Who could resist the 2 cute beauties, and I was going to declare Morgan as my own…NOT! I wish I could

Here we are interviewing Marina and Stephanie on their Mommy’s Birthday Firesale Now, that’s what I call starting ‘em young!

Here’s Kristi Sayles from Talk With Experts. She was giving us a hard time interrogating us on our firesale. Nah, she’s an awesome person who manage to make us feel so at ease during the interview. In fact, I knew her son, Jason Mangrum before I knew her, so it was filled with some sort of familiarity when we first met.

Mike Ambrosio from aka Mr OverDeliver. You can sense Mike’s warmth and sincerity from a mile. I mean, this guy has no airs at all despite his reputation of a marketing guru. On the day after the seminar, we manage to meet up with him and just chat about anything and everything except IM. We were just chilling out and having a great time.

We couldn’t help hijacking John Reese himself for a photo shoot Oh man, he looks so cool and relaxed despite just launching Blog Rush. There were so many people trying to get a piece of him…and were we lucky to snatch a photo.

Here’s Jeff Wellman from Lay Off Your Boss. No, he’s NOT Keith Wellman’s father. Rather, Keith Wellman’s his son. Confused? Nevermind. It was a joke he shared because he was soooooo tired of being known as Keith’s dad. So, the next time you meet Jeff, tell him "Hey Jeff, Keith’s your son, right?"

Very funny and friendly guy and definitely very approachable.

The Adwords guy, Simon Leung. He was very soft spoken and friendly. In fact, he was one of the speakers whom I would have bought from had he been from Malaysia, or somewhere nearer especially since he’s specifically focussing on Adwords, which I’m involved in already.

Dr Claude Windenberger  is a specialist in the area of self improvement and mind matters. It was certainly enlightening to meet him and learn about his area of specialty.

One for the album with Bob Jenkins.

The 3 of us with Michael Cheney from Adsense Videos

With Odinn Sorensen from Denmark. I can still remember when I first started out in my online business, one of the first person I networked with was from Denmark too, so meeting Odinn had a sense of deja vu for me.

Tom Hua, one of the founders of the World Internet Summit. He was one of the early adopters of viral marketing back in the days when the term viral marketing was not the buzz word. He’s certainly a man of vision!

Along the way in WIME, I manage to meet quite a few other fellow marketers but didn’t manage to have a photo taken with them. That doesn’t mean that I don’t remember them

Yes, there was Alex Jeffreys from Easy Profit Auctions, Dave Russ (who’s a partner with Scott Scales) at Light Mind Software, Toki Tover of Affiliate List Magic, Tim Brocklehurst of My Viral Spiral, Sarah Villeneuve from Coastal Contacts and a few others. If we have crossed path, and I omitted, my apologies. Do send me an email to keep in touch. Or if you have any photos that I can publish, do let me know as well.

And finally, one for the record, the 3 Malaysian Musketeers (Gobala Krishnan and Vince Tan). Work on your dreams and they will come true.
