The Art of The Forum

So today I was at Bugis, near Masjid Sultan, on stage together with AbangAbu, Fadzuli and Shaheed. A forum of some sorts, where the stall owners and anyone in that area could ask questions related to business. Think Forum Perdana meets The Apprentice, with a pinch of rojak.

It was going well, all smiles and all as we tried to answer as best as we could (looking as best as we could) amidst the humid weather. Then this “ha-you-gen” (the streetfighter fireball sound that Ryu and Ken make… oh come on, don’t pretend you don’t know!) like question came salvo-ing at me, a question that I think will haunt me for some time to come…

“What is the best marketing strategy you have for me?”

A giant gong-like sound went in my head.

I did not answer the question as well as I expected myself to. Then in the bus and walking home I was still thinking of my response. The question itself was okay, no points deducted for the generality of it (it is a public forum, so what do you expect Hafihz?). However what followed came the realization of how to answer forum questions when you’re a panelist.

    Hi guys,

    I recently registered to this forum http://www.hafihz.com and hope that anybody can
    help me with the forex - I am looking for an introduction
    for noobs. I have already a little knowledge about shares. (Hope this is the fitting category.)

    Any help is so much appreciated. Most important question: can a noob make money on the forex exchange market?

    Thanks,
    Jim
