Wanna' Free Ticket to Affiliate Incubator?

I just found out about this...

Do YOU want a free ticket to Affiliate Incubator? Here's how you can get one. Yes, you must actually DO something for it. Consider it practice for the real thing!

http://myideaguy.com/blog/take-a-chance-on-someone/

Oh, and if you go there, to read the post and enter in the contest, head back here and tell me you did and leave me a message with your email address - make it all words! - and I'll send you my first 'report' currently in the Kindle shop listed at $14.44, when I get home (i'm in Virginia right now).

I made notes during a call with Ray Edwards all about getting the most out of attending a Seminar, then I added some thoughts of my own and my boyfriend Jeff did the same. We've been to many Seminars and we also helped run bunches as well.

So you'll be all set to win that contest. I'm telling you, your odds are pretty good since there are only 18 comments and there MAY be even fewer contestants (you'll see) so go check it out!

If you win, I'll do a write up here for you as well!

"Stop Talking and Take Action:
If Networking is the Bomb and WILL Grow Your Business,
Why Don’t You Attend More Seminars?

"I recently posted a question to Twitter World. I asked what percentage of your business do you feel is a direct result from the amount of networking that you participate in?

"The answers varied, but all but a single response said 90% or more of their business was a DIRECT result of networking. More specifically, face to face networking.

"And the people who responded aren’t people who are making $20 per month on a website - these are folks like us who are making a VERY comfortable living as an entrepreneur.

"You know Lee and I do A LOT of traveling to speaking engagements. Heck, we just returned from the Ross Goldberg event two days ago where we talked about our Hybrid Marketing strategies.

"As was expected this live event was a non-stop sharing of great marketing and online traffic strategy info. The tips shared this weekend alone would have made the trip worth while.

"But the real beauty of the event was with the other folks there.

"We had hordes of like minded people in one place at the same time.
This was a beautiful thing.

"There were people at this event that were at all stages of their business. And there were A LOT of folks there that have really achieved substantial business success.

"They run their own businesses on their terms.

"Isn’t that what you all tell us time and time again is EXACTLY what you want?

"And why were these uber successful entrepreneurs taking time out of their incredibly busy schedules to attend this event? The same reason we go to at least 1 event per month…

"Cause they know the truth. Networking is the key to their business.

"I know that your real desire is to achieve your financial dreams - so what do you think the fastest way to achieve your financial dreams is?

"Duh…see who is already doing it successfully and do that!

"Folks, 90% of the successful people out there want to see everyone around them reach their dreams and desired levels of achievement.

"This is the absolute truth.

"When any of us find someone who honestly will do what it takes to succeed, we want to help them along their path as much as possible.

"So, taking into account these facts:

"1 Networking results in over 90% of business for those folks who actually participate in networking
"2 Group gatherings, such as seminars and workshops, are great places to meet like minded uber successful people
"3 Most uber successful people love to see everyone around them achieve.

"Tell me again why you can’t attend live events?"

--Robin Collins from their blog

Bill writes:

"Owning a business has brought ruin to enumerable people. Obviously, it’s important to get it right. If you are currently a business owner or if you think you want to be a business owner, then this is the seminar for you. Creating a business can serve you and your loved ones for generations."

TechCrunch50

I'll let this one speak for itself:

The TechCrunch50 agenda is simple: we put on stage the 50 best companies we can find to launch new products over a three-day format, September 8-10, 2008. The selection process is based on merit alone to help ensure we showcase the best ideas regardless of financial means. We invite you to submit your company for consideration.

In addition to 50 great new products, we’re assembling an amazing line up of speakers and a panel of expert advisors to spark meaningful discussion and debate during the conference. There will be an action-packed DemoPit, full of other early-stage start-up ideas, as well as working breakfasts and lunches with topics aimed at helping start-ups succeed. In typical TechCrunch style, we’ll save room for socializing too.

The specific agenda will unfold over the coming weeks and months on our dedicated conference site and blog. Keep a lookout for new details as they’re released.

Your participation will help make the conference a success, hope to see you there,

If not, here's a strong reason to stop whatever you're doing and make sure you're in London September 11-14, 2008.

Mike Stewart is showing you how to use video to succeed on the internet. Don't think it's possible? Well here's proof...

Watch this video to see how he does it:

STEP 1: Go here right now

Mike Steward Video

STEP 2) Scroll half way down the page to the photo and video of Mike Stewart

STEP 3) Click "play"

Then if you're even smarter, block out September 11-14, 2008 and do whatever you can to be in London for the event.
Why not right?

**********************************
FOR A LIMITED TIME it's only US$197 (approx £97) to attend!
**********************************
Why so low cost for such a huge event over 4 days? Simple - this price is an early bird price only. And secondly, the event has a sponsor, which takes the pressure off to charge you the full $997 ticket price.
But this deal won't last. Tickets are selling fast for this London event - already, over 323 people are registered and there are only a few seats left.
So check out the video now and then secure your seat to what is going to be an incredible 4 days with the world's best internet experts:

Hey, this is pretty close to me. I'll have to check out the details, see if I'm available. OH, NOT! I'm flying to VA the very next day! My daughter sent for me and I'll spend a week with her in Virginia Beach. I get to tour the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower for their 'Family Fun Day' and I think we'll get to see some planes launch & land on the flight deck.

Even if the 'Fun Day' cancels, I'm going. I live on the West coast and my daughter (now 25!!!) lives on the East coast. I see her every chance I get. I'm so proud of my Navy girl! I guess eFocus will just have to do without me this time. ;)

OK, back to business here.

Pepcom does several of these a year. They are a little different than your usual Seminar. Let me dig up that PDF, hold on...

Well, that's weird. I went to get more info for you and it no longer appears on their calendar!

That is a lesson to us all. Now you see it, Now you don't with these Seminars! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Double Check ANYTHING you are hoping to attend and learn from. I've seen these things surface and then they are gone. Things happen and events get cancelled out.

Focus Marketing Seminars - Radical Event!

This is so cool. What a RADICAL concept!

I got an email late yesterday. Pat Lovell & Sean Roach announced that their Focus Marketing Seminars was SOLD OUT!

Ok, not that interesting.

They sent a SECOND email after that. They actually opened up their Seminar which is running today, Saturday & Sunday. And I mean, you go to the link they added, you put in your info (the usual) and they send you the link to see their WHOLE SEMINAR from the internet for, you guessed it...

FREE!!!

Now, if you are on my list, you got that info right after I read that email late last night.

I'm hearing Sean Roach right now talk about his Got Access membership site. I probably missed the very first presenter and their opening sequence because I'm on the West Coast and they are broadcasting from Washington DC which is 3 hours ahead of us. I started hearing their broadcast around 8:15am here (11:15am there).

I can see the 'viewers' count and it's been climbing from 120 something to 140's right now. Whoa, it just about crested 150!

Periodically it does a 'Max Headroom' - where the flow stutters - it eventually catches back up so that you don't miss anything!

So, where do you go to get this?

Go sign up for my list! If I see that happening, I'll send out another message and you'll get that information.

Also, this is while supplies last. I have an 'in' and I can ask, I don't control the tickets and I know that when they get their seats filled, they won't have any more of the Free tickets.

SES San Jose Conference & Expo

This is a recurring Internet Marketing Seminar. I added a colorful banner below all the posts as well so click here or click there to get to the web site for more information!

Here's the 'trailer' (you know, like in the movies!):

"SES San Jose affords delegates the largest learning and networking opportunity of the year, as the 70+ sessions (80% of which are new to the agenda) will cover everything that is search-related, and the numerous networking parties are back, including the famed Google Dance and Search Bash."

Oh Really?!?

Earlier today, they offered a live ustream presentation RIGHT FROM THEIR EVENT! And here is the recording from that event:

Semphonic X Change Conference

Even though I just found this online marketing info, they say that 'This year, X Change is sponsored by Semphonic and Web Analytics Demystified.' So you see, I'm still gathering info.

Anything YOU know about might be very useful here too - and I give credit where credit is due! If you bring me info about a Seminar or Conference having ANYTHING to do with Internet Marketing, becoming an Entrepreneur or related to web marketing type events, I will mention my 'source' and give you a live link back to your site!

I need all the help I can get here.

Oh, they also mention:

We are pleased to announce the new X Change Scholarship Program for 2008! The X Change Conference Scholarship has been established to encourage and promote the innovative use of web analytics for improving web site performance.

So if you have anything they might like, do go and give it your best shot!

Ly Michaels in Philadelphia
Please join us for Web Analytics Wednesday Philadelphia on August 13th at 6:30pm. Brian Cosgrove will be presenting a special preview of his SES San Jose presentation. We will also hold an open roundtable discussion on what can be improved in analytics as well as what you would like to see at future WAWs. The event has been generously sponsored by Avenue A | Razorfish Analytics. Food and drinks will be provided to participants.

The following is a description of Brian’s presentation:
Identify, Analyze, Act: SEM by the Numbers
Many companies find it difficult to use web analytics for more than reporting and ad hoc investigations. By defining requirements, roles, tasks, and benchmarks, an efficient process replaces one-off requests. This session covers practical workflows that you can quickly implement to see improved, consistent returns from your data. This sets a platform for experience-based learning that helps a company to set standards, anticipate a build-cycle or campaign refresh, and prioritize search marketing efforts.

Bob The Teacher’s IM Success Workshop

A while back, Bob "The Teacher" Jenkins mentioned this event to me. He also said that I could not 'go public' with it. I've since seen him talk about it on twitter so I sent a message to him about publising the info now.

I haven't checked for today but as of yesterday, I didn't hear back from him so I'm putting what I can for you here and it ain't much!

Web Analytics: Measuring The Attention Economy

These Internet Marketing programs from Web Guild are a recent find and they seem to offer a variety of trainings. Stay tuned for more online marketing from them.

Web Analytics: Measuring The Attention Economy
August 13, 2008
Palo Alto, CA

A little bit from their site:

This event will focus on the measuring user engagement on and off your web site. With the rise of social media, the conversation is taking place on blogs, social networks, forums, online communities, IM and chat clients. Companies need to measure how users are participating in the conversation in all the different places and the impact of that on their businesses. Companies need to be able to capture, mine, aggregate, and analyze data in the attention economy beyond the corporate web site and turn that data into actionable intelligence. By monitoring the net conversations, companies can identify pain points, opinions, and opportunities that would otherwise be missed. Learn from the experts about this cutting-edge topic and how it affects your business and how your business can be part of the conversation.
