3 Must Do's I learned from Demo Night: Rayfil Wong Campusfork Social Media Week Hong Kong

Hi,

I had fun presenting Campusfork (http://www.campusfork.com) at Social Media Week in Hong Kong. Just want to share some insights+ things I learned about public speaking.

Highlights:
@ 1:08 Impression
@ 2:07 Punch Line
@ 2:15 "I am Available"

A Big Part of My Experience comes from my 2 mins of fame from reality tv show American Inventor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41RZKHGga0Q)

3 Must Do's

1:: Entertain. I used example about love + dating since this is HOT topic. So tell stories instead of throwing information. I told the story of how Campusfork started.

2 :: Perspective. It is not about YOU the presenter. NO ONE CARES. It is all about the audience. Tell them how users would they benefit by using your product.

Use my product + search for a restaurant 40% faster
Join my social network and meet new friends so that you can have new dining buddies

3:: Visual. We are visual animals. Less words, more visuals. Don't let the audience read off the screen. Let your juicy lips be the focus as they crave to hear each of your words.

Result: I got a few emails from investors + audience applauding my 3 mins

Hot tip: Practice does make perfect. I like to record my 3 minute pitch in my iphone. I just listen to my recording several times so that when I speak, it is just like a conversation.

Holler Holler: Thanks to William Liang for recording now my parents actually know I am actually doing something in Hong Kong as oppose to just partying all night long.

Hi-5: Thanks to Boot HK (http://boot.hk/) Founder Jonathan Buford along
