When Raymond Fong was 5-years-old his mother left him in Taiwan and headed for the United States where she began the immigration process. Fong spent four long years without his mother before she successfully moved him to the “Land of Opportunity” at the age of 9. In America, Raymond was afforded the freedom to act on his ideas and professional goals. From rocket scientist to marketing guru, Raymond has accomplished many things at a young age. Here is how it all happened.
Not surprisingly, Raymond was fond of school. As a high school student, he earned straight A’s, graduating with an International Baccalaureate Diploma and a 4.0 GPA. Realizing the importance of education, Raymond enrolled at Harvey Mudd College in 1999 where he studied engineering. Still a teenager, Raymond dedicated endless hours of his time to working in physics labs and spending time on his MicroProcessor Project. He also took an opportunity to study in Australia for a semester.
All of Raymond’s hard work paid off and in 2003 he left Harvey Mudd College with a degree in engineering and quickly found a position with an aerospace company. Raymond was pleased with his progress. His new job afforded him many luxurious including a generous annual salary of approximately $100,000. Life was good, or was it? Raymond began to contemplate his next career move when a group of co-workers were laid off not long after he was hired. Raymond began to realize that he wanted something more and this is when things really started to shift for him.
Thinking his answer to security could be found with added education, Raymond returned to the classroom, this time seeking a master’s degree in computer engineering from the University of Southern California. He would later graduate with his graduate degree in 2005. But in the meantime, Raymond experienced another important revelation – his passion for engineering was strong, but his interest in traditional employment was not. This is when Raymond knew that he was in for a big change.
After considering his options, Raymond decided he was better off as an entrepreneur. Specifically, he was interested in multi-level marketing. He introduced it to Fernando Ceballos, who is now his current business partner. Raymond realized success in his MLM business, but he wasn’t completely satisfied with the venture. He and Fernando began working on an online approach to network marketing. Raymond built several key relationships with top marketing gurus such as Mike Dillard, Jimmy Davis, Russel Wright, and Tim Erway.
Raymond’s efforts did not go unnoticed, thanks to his partnerships, he was able to develop a training method that helped his down-lines improve their output. Raymond could have stopped here, but stopping is not in his nature. The marketing professional continued to learn and grow and utilized his new skills to help others. Currently, Raymond offers several services that compliment his skills in social networking, copywriting, social content, search engine domination, article marketing, and search engine optimization. He is the owner of Affinity Integration, an online marketing firm that specializes in Internet marketing optimization.
Of course, Raymond always has his hand in many projects. He is also involved in various online marketing projects. He helped develop the InterNet Worth Marketing business model that assists MLMers in gaining larger paychecks. He is also the co-founder of Attraction Marketing Formula, a company founded by he and Fernando that teaches important skills needed to generate traffic to a Web site. Raymond also worked closely with his mentor, Mike Dillard, to develop Mike’s BetterNetworker.com, a top online community dedicated to home business owners.
