Thank you Ali for the kind invite. Really appreciate it. "The Mentor Club" consists of a group of young talented students from different universities of Karachi and its led by Maryam Fatima. Important Highlights Of "The Mentor Club" Conference Apart from a normal talk on blogging, SEO, affiliate marketing and digital product selling, I focused deeply this time on setting up an ecommerce store and shared the business strategy for it to ensure a lucrative and sustainable income online. Important points discussed that day are listed below: Explained the fundamental difference between victims of slave mentality Talked in detail about the difference between PlanA and PlanB system of life Explained the stages involved in setting up an online store to sell a merchandise. Shared basics such setting up website architecture,  producing SEO friendly content and finally marketing the brand through AdWords and Facebook. I discussed A-Z of ecommerce business such as setting up site, uploading content, accepting orders and delivering merchandise using a cash on delivery system. I gave a helicopter view of how affiliate business works and how blogging helps youngsters to make a living online by producing quality content. Shared some real life SEO examples of clients websites that I was working on. Discussed my interest on launching a clothing brand at koti.pk and shared methods on making it a big hype. (I have kept koti.pk in pending because I am instead busy starting a more productive website in 2017 that I will reveal soon.) I shared tips on how housewives can setup their blogs or vlogs and start making money straight from their living rooms. I shared examples of some of my Indian clients who run fashion blogs and are making $5000+ a month. I emphasized on the importance of learning a skill set that is currently the only way to succeed in this competitive world. I encouraged the students to learn these 3 core things: Web Development (CSS3, HTML4, JavaScript/jQuery, PHP/MySQL) Mobile Development (Java and Objective C) SEO (The art of ranking websites in SERPs) Backstage Chat With Guest Speakers During lunch time I had some short chats with fellow guest speakers i.e. Rizwan Jaffar and Shahzad Khan. I found them very friendly in talks though they seemed a little reserved when it came to how the TV channels are operated. I asked them why television broadcasting network does not focus on academic programs that could guide youngsters in understanding core basics of internet marketing, blogging, SEO and affiliate business. They agreed to the importance of such topics but they insisted on that TV focuses on subjects that will entertain people and create more hype thus bringing ratings which is the biggest aim of any TV channel. Academic programs is aimed mostly for educated people and this wont attract the illiterate of the society who love nothing more than pure entertainment. I then understand on what they meant. In short building a healthy society is not what a TV channel aims for, all it is concerned is doing great business by producing content that will create hype. When I asked them that is it true that the campaigns that TV channels work on is scripted from abroad by some elite powers and the CEO of the channel is just a puppet. They smiled and attained silence which in other words was a yes from them in indirect way. Some Visual Glimpses Photo credits goes to my friend Saad Ahmed Awan and the Mentor Club Team. My friend Ahsan Marfani a financial controller at Total Parco also accompanied me that day. He is a CA/ACCA certified and it was an honor having him. Meet Khalid Siddiqui in the picture below, a courageous boy who is doing BBA and looking to start his own business. He was shot 8 times straight in right chest by mobile snatchers but yet he is alive to narrate his story of never giving UP! He attended this conference on entrepreneurship and later visited my office to meet me in person and share his wonderful story. When is our next seminar? I conduct these seminars for free to help spread the message of entrepreneurship across country. All I aim for is to share the karma of knowledge I have acquired over 8 years with students who deserve a far better future than what they are being brainwashed at schools, colleges and universities. Year 2016 was a busy year where I happen to attend several seminars and conferences, in year 2017 we plan to focus more on our business and work on some pending projects in mind. I am not sure when will we head next to but I will keep you updated about any such seminar possibility through my FB profile. If you have attended this conference then please share your experience with us. If you want to attend such conferences in future please let us know what topics should we focus more on that could help you with your online endeavors. Waiting to hear from you all! :)
