Flodyie, do you think this press release is truthful? ZiaSun Subsidiary Wins 'Small Business of the Year' Award for Online Investing Education Workshops -- Tremendous Demand for International Expansion of ZSUN's Investing Workshops -- SOLANA BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 1999-- ZiaSun Technologies, Inc (OTC BB:ZSUN), a profitable Internet holding company, today reported on continued international expansion of the award-winning web-based investing educational workshops sponsored by its wholly-owned subsidiary Online Investors Advantage (OIA, www.i-advantage.com). ``Receiving the Small Business of the Year award from the Orem Chamber of Commerce was an honor for Online Investors Advantage that illustrates our tremendous growth potential and successful expansion strategy,' stated Scott Elder, chairman of ZiaSun and founder of OIA. Elder explained the fourth calendar quarter is typically one of OIA's strongest, and therefore presented a prudent opportunity to launch its educational workshops in high-growth international markets. Having emerged as the web's leading online investment education firm with a dominant position in the U.S. (where workshops continue to grow), this September OIA began international expansion with workshops in Australia and New Zealand. These workshops generated higher attendance than expected. OIA recently initiated marketing efforts in Australia for future workshops, with pre-registrations doubling that of last month's workshops. To meet this explosive demand, the subsidiary established an office in Sydney to manage sales operations. OIA also expanded its schedule with two workshops in Sydney plus workshops in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne. Marketing for New Zealand will commence in November for OIA workshops to be held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch during the first week of December. Meanwhile, the subsidiary entered the Canadian market earlier this month where it exceeded projections for workshops in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. OIA also expects to fill November's workshops in Toronto and Winnepeg. About Online Investors Advantage Online Investors Advantage is ranked number one in the online investing education industry. The firm operates the only extensive training and education programs to teach individual investors how to best utilize web-based tools and resources to effectively trade stocks on the Internet.
