My 1st Talk @ 3rd Webmaster Malaysia Gathering

Filed in: Events, Make Money Online, Malaysia — July 9th, 2008

After being quiet for a very…very… long time on my blog, I quietly attended the 3rd Webmaster Malaysia Gathering held at The Apartment,The Curve. It was fully sponsored by Exabytes.

I attended the same gathering last year. This time, I was invited to give a talk. My 1st public talk. (Thank you, Lim CS)

My presentation is about myself, a pro-blogger. How did I get started as a fulltime blogger and shared some blogging tips. It was a short talk that took around 15 mins only.

Here is the slides I used in my presentation (created by Google Docs):

Like other newbies, I was quite nervous. I would prefer more on Q&A to giving a talk. The most interesting part of my talk was about my income. It is USD$ X,000 per month. Everyone is curious about the “X” value.

Sorry, I cannot reveal the value of “X”… There are only 2 persons in the world know the answer, my dear accountant and I. ;)

Also, the other speakers of the day were:

Too bad, Alang couldn’t attend this gathering in the last minute. I have always wanted to meet him…

My two cents

It was my first public talk in life. I was little nervous… but getting better at Q&A session. I shall do better next time and give talks on more specified topics. :)

    Hi, you should inform me about this gathering so that I can attend to give you support (actually I also want to learn from you on blogging).

    Did someone manage to record down your presentation? If yes, then you can upload the video for your readers viewing.

    Hello Liewcf, since you said your mother saw the cheques were mailing in every month, hence, I thought she should know the X amount. Hahah!

    Next time when I make more money online then I also want to hire your accountant. Hehe!

    Though I thought speaking about yourself wasn’t a good idea but it was the safest route since it’s your first talk. :)

    Probably see you doing more in future. LOL!

    again, why’s the ratio of M-F in KL tech meetups around 8 or more to-1? Penang meetups on the other hand tend to look as good as 50-50.

    all the gorgeous ones only go to clubs eh??
