MVS Hits The Spot…

In more ways than one, My Viral Spiral is becoming the must-have software for anyone serious about building a business on the Internet.

Following a hectic schedule of conference presentations, I’ve finally had a couple of weeks now to sit down with my programmer and work through the finishing touches for version 3.0

We are heading for a launch date of December 11th and I’m really excited about all the enhancements this version will include. Online rebranding and integration with 3rd party autoresponders are among them.

For more detail, and illustration of what’s to come, keep an eye on the MVS blog. And while you’re waiting for the release of MVS 3, you can get a feel of everything this system automates with this series of videos…

Enjoy your success…!

Here are some some pics from World Internet Summit London recently. These were taken during the speakers line up at the end. The speakers, from left: Ewen Chia, Shawn Clarke, Alan Forest Smith, Tracy Rupcheck, Sean Roach, Tim Brocklehurst (speaking), Mike Stewart, Brett McFall.

Does Malaysia know what its sitting on?

I’m here in Kuala Lumpur for Malaysia’s World Internet Summit and I’ll be speaking later today about the exciting potential for Viral Spiral Marketing in this country.

I’ll be interested to learn what delegates think of their impending position in the Internet Marketing community because it seems to me that Malaysia and Singapore are sitting on the mother of all gold mines in this industry.

Today’s newspapers spoke again of the impact on the world of increasing oil prices. For the third time in a generation, we are told, we are heading towards an oil crisis with global implications as the price per barrel teases the symbolic $100 mark.

But this time it is different. This time the price increase is driven by demand. Previously it has been caused by political pressure or constricted supply either in the Middle East, or Russia.

China’s consumption of oil has trebled since 1980. The current oil price, and potential increases in the future, are in correlation with the rise of the middle class in China and India as it steadily replaces mass poverty.

Look at these charts to see how oil consumption in China compares with Europe and the Americas:

And what else, aside of oil, do middle class consumers need?

Information… The Internet.

I believe the staggering increase in oil shown in China over the past 20 years is nothing compared to the forthcoming increase in Internet use in that country.

And when it comes to Internet Marketing, who in the world is best placed to teach them?

The cultural and language differences between China and the western world make it difficult for the main-stays of Internet Marketing to have a role in China’s growth. It seems more likely that it will come from her neighbours, in particular Malaysia and Singapore.

I’ll be speaking about this later today to the delegates of World Internet Summit Malaysia, and I will be interested to gather how prepared they are for their role in China’s Internet growth.
