Getting Real Business from WeChat is About This

I was at Suntec on 21 May 2018 with 2,500 people at IMDA event: Singapore Digital Industry seminar. Digital is now the priority of our government.

WeChat is, of course, a digital economy. The question is how and when are you getting real business from WeChat?

First, you need to build up your base of contacts on WeChat. To do meaningful marketing, you need to have at least 1,500 WeChat contacts

Next, you need to build up your fan base on WeChat. A fan is a contact that responds to your posts on WeChat 50% of the time. So now go back to your Moments posts and tag those friends that click like and comments on your Moments posts

The 3rd step is to communicate deeper with these WeChat fans via message broadcast. You can invite them to join your Groupchat which is a special group where you can provide even more value to them.

Note that the key to WeChat Marketing is via deep and regular contacts. It is about adding value to people's lives, not promoting yourself. It is not about advertising to your contacts. If you are not sure what value to offer to your WeChat contacts and fans, ask me. To-date, I have offered more than 50 advice to my WeChat class students on what value to offer. Let me know. Thanks.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
