Summary of the Las Vegas trip with fellow Alex Jeffreys students.

It’s been half a month since I came back from my trip to Las Vegas and this is the first update… As you can see I have been slacking! big time…

I have been on Twitter alot lately. See my tweets: http://twitter.com/JeffreyYung

I arrived at Boston Logan airport around 2pm to get to my flight, which was at 6pm. I left home that early because I want to try the subway and Silver Line. It got me there within 1/2 hour to 45 minutes! Wow, really fast. It would have taken me 1/2 just to drive there.

Then I waited and waited… didn’t leave Boston until 7:30pm! Stupid… they canceled the incoming flight and everyone had to waited for the next one coming from LA. I guess airlines are doing that now to save on money if a flight is not up to compacity.

So I got the Las Vegas around 9:45pm PT. Very uneventful flight! Which is what I want… haha. The Airbus is really nice airplane.

Checked in but had trouble finding out where Alex Jeffreys is holding his group meeting/seminar the next morning! The front desk of New York New York had no idea. But this lady found out for me later.

I went and grab something to eat at this Chinese restaurant, right at entrance of the elevator to my room. Got a Mai Tai too.

Went to bed that night. There would be no gambling for this dude until the last day of the stay!

Woke up early and went to the room where Alex Jeffreys is holding the seminar. Upon arrival, there’s already a line of people there! Conversing amoung themselves…

Alex Jeffreys was late. They said they saw him with other people last night around 4am!

So the event went underway and we shared what we learned in Alex Jeffreys coaching program. Alex Jeffreys also shared many useful tips on how to reach your audience online. Definitely nice tips. Went to lunch with the group.

Also I finally meet Jit Uppal and Lance Tamashiro (Blog Invasion System), I was on both of their lists. Jit was sharing his listbuilding tips using giveaways to build a list and then use the imadswap.com site to exchange with other marketers. This way you could grow your list over time. And monetize by sending them to residual income programs. Nice.

Also finally saw Dean Holland too. He was mentioned by Alex Jeffreys during the coaching session to have made money for promoting Alex’s program. He was in bad shape; from lack of sleep! But by Saturday he was afresh…

By the way, Dean Holland announced that he would quit his job the first thing he went home. And he did! Great job, Dean. And he’s launching his blogging coaching program too.

That night I decided to watch the Tournment of the Kings at Excalibur on Firday night after the meeting. It was the same show as I saw it back in 2000. But this time I got a headache! All of a sudden after the show, I have a bad case of headache. I wonder is due to the bad air quality inside the show.

And the service was bad for my section. I ended up sitting in the section for the evil king. I think my section was the last to served dinner! And the guy didn’t even give me bread! So overall not a good night!

The next day, I still had a slight headache but manageable… Went to Alex Jeffrey’s 2nd day meeting. He shared how he’s mapping out his last coaching launch that we signed up back in November 2008. And then a fellow student was chosen to share her project. She basically wanted to promote a friend’s book/seminar event deal. We each offered advice and come up with suggestions on how she could approach her launch.

I offered the suggestion that she could use the book launch method – which would involve getting contributing JV partners to offer free bonuses and make it a book launch event… I think she took that idea. cool…

We ended the day around 3pm and had testamonials done for Alex Jeffreys on his coaching… And then a couple of us walked around each of the hotels and casinos. Mostly walking around and talking. Had some drinks on the bar. For dinner we met and had buffet.

The people I hung out with are pretty nice. This included JT Martin, Gary Simpson, Dean Holland, Dan, Gary Parkes, and Lesley Morgan. Lesley is interesting. She said she grabbed a client on Friday during her break! Nice. Online marketing meets offline business. This is hot lately.

That night, I hung out with Alex, Lance and his wife, Jit, John, Dean Holland, and JT at the Excalibur bar listening to a band that was playing there. Lance was trying to get his wife to go on stage to sing. I guess that she wanted to sing on stage. But she didn’t end up doing it. Finally I left around 2am!

I spend Sunday walking around Las Vegas casinos again. My flight was at 10pm PT. I finally got my first lunch buffet done. I ate at the manadaly Bay. Really classy and good food!

I ended the trip playing some blackjacks… Didn’t have good luck, ended the trip down…

I got home the next morning at 6:30am ET. This time the flight has a bit more turbulance and make it safe and sound though…

So overall this was a good trip. Got lots of networking done. For any seminars that you go to, you have to do networking. Otherwise it is pointless. Sometimes you uncover a really good strategy or formed a JV partnership that could earn you thousand in one promotion. so I would defintely encourage you do attend seminars.

Well, that’s my update for this trip… My coach Alex Jeffreys is ready to release a free report this Friday… more details to follow. And he’s releasing his Marketing with Alex 2.0 next week; it’s the coaching program I was in.
