EntreCard: An Ongoing Internet Marketing Seminar?

In my opinion, an 'Internet Marketing Seminar' should be a concentrated, beneficial event in your life that helps you get a step (or 10!) up on your internet marketing work.

I think I've been going to a 'Seminar' the last few days with my EntreCard experience. I mean this in a good way - the BEST way!

I had the most visits to my SeminarList blog EVER yesterday! This is just the beginning, I perceive.

I wrote about EntreCard the first time here: I Read Your Blog Too! since I have read more and more blogs due to EntreCard and BlogRush - especially EntreCard!

And I've seen an incredible amount of sites, the flavor of the authors and the lessons from them I can learn.

And I'll be sure to go back for more!

Not only has EC (EntreCard) been beneficial for the added traffic, the exposure and the sites I can go to, I have a chance to 'meet' people all over the world and establish friendships based on something truly terrific - our shared blogging experience.

Thank You EntreCard!

"A great yogi is anyone who has achieved the permanent state of enlightened bliss. A guru is a great yogi who can actually pass that state on to others. The word guru is composed of two sanskrit syllables. The first means 'Darkness,' the second means 'Light.' Out of the Darkness and into the Light. What passes from the master into the disciple is something called mantravirya: 'The potency of the enlightened conciousness.' You come to your guru, then, not only to receive lessons, as from any teacher, but to actually recieve the guru's state of grace."
-Elizabeth Gilbert from "Eat, Pray, Love"

Affiliate Incubator Interview: Pam Hoffman

I recently realized that I never mentioned to you MY experience at Affiliate Incubator.

Find here my own 'interview' from Affiliate Incubator - my very first LIVE! Internet Marketing Seminar.

How did you find out about Affiliate Incubator?

PH: In my research for all LIVE! Internet Marketing Seminars in the world, I run across many interesting Seminars. I kept wanting to go to them. It turns out that there were a couple in the area that particular weekend and I was in a position to go to one. I had to pick only ONE!

I put a lot of thought into which one would serve me better - they were both about the same in $$$ amount (with the earlybird special on the other one). Oh, I expect I would have learned a lot from the other one as well. I had to pick though.

I think I picked Affiliate Incubator since I'm still quite new to all of this. I've heard that most internet marketers start online promoting affiliate programs versus offering their own products. That is certainly true for me. I started working internet marketing in earnest in February 2007. I don't have any products yet. I'm promoting other people's stuff at the moment.

The thing that also appealed to me about AI (Affiliate Incubator) was that they were planning on addressing the affiliate and the affiliate manager. You know at some point, you want to become the one with the product and get the efforts of others to help you sell it.

That is what got me I think.

What did you get out of going to Affiliate Incubator?

PH: I made a large number of contacts, well, large for me anyway. Of all of the Seminars I've been to, this one seemed the most comfortable or the best 'fit' or something. I sure talked a lot more than I'm used to!

I heard a lot of the same things I've been reading about and got a few nuggets of info that were new to me.

When you decide to make online marketing your 'thing' initially, there can be an overwhelming amount of information. One of the first things Russell and Stu did was to organize the first '24 hours' for an affiliate.

This sorting out and organizing were invaluable for me. It gives me a path or a check list for any project. Oh, it may not work out for me personally in the long run. It's sure a good starting point though. When you are asking yourself who to listen to and who to believe, this helps sort things out.

The individual presenters were very informative. I find that, even when I've heard something from someone, hearing it again can be a very different experience. I'm different for one thing. I may have acted upon some of the things - which puts me in a different place to hear their message a little better or something.

It seems like each of these folks have a slightly different way of doing things on the internet. This helps me understand that I need to figure out how things are going to work for me too.

I have a sign on the top of my monitor: "I Gotta' Work it 'til it Works" and that is my idea of utilizing the information I've learned at AI. I don't know that I can do things the same way that these folks have. I sure have a bunch of models to look at. Knowing me, I'll probably synthesize a number of them into something that suits me perfectly.

Time will tell.

And that is what it's all about - spurring on ideas and actions.

I don't plan on doing things like the gurus. I plan on taking their methods and making them mine. I know that I work different than anyone else in the universe and I've got to learn what that is and do that. Little else will work for me I'm betting.

What are the main things you might tell someone considering going to an Internet Marketing Seminar to convince them that they should go?

PH: If you are considering going, of course, I'd like to think I provide a valuable service and I think you should visit my blog. But you knew that, didn't you?

If I were helping someone decide, I'd probably mention that it is pretty hard to lose. Most event planners offer guarantees and if you truely do not make any friends nor learn anything even remotely likely to help your business, ask for your money back!

After that, it's your time you must consider.

I guess, if you can see this being the best use of your time at the moment, by all means, check it out! There is a lot of talent out there and ebooks can only get you so far.

I'm serious about the networking too. Where else are you going to find folks you can learn from and with whom you may form alliances with? It is all up to you.

The speed at which things change, alone, might be the tipping point for you. You can't get some of the stuff they relate to you from products you buy. You might get the information. You might get some questions answered like during a teleseminar. You won't get to compare notes with your neighbor or joke around with other attendees or the presenters. And you need to ask yourself if this information will even be relevant when you finally get that product!

At a Seminar, I think most presenters add value to their presentation by offering you some tidbit they learned just recently a.k.a. the latest and greatest! My feeling is that Stu and Russell did just that for us.

How do you even find that kind of info anywhere else?

You'll never meet the staff behind the 'names' nor their families reading an ebook.

Stu's sister was incredibly helpful during the AI Seminar. I'm always curious to learn, 'how many people' arrived for the Seminar (i've been to a few seminars!). The staff will be the only ones who can tell you stuff like that.

Oodles of things happen in the hallways and the faux-pas can always get deleted!

You know, I think you should Go! If you are at all serious about this internet marketing stuff, you owe it to yourself to take in a Seminar!

Did you learn what you needed from Affiliate Incubator to make it worth your while?

PH: It's possible I'm somewhat unique in that the simple act of going to AI gave me fodder for my blog. Oh, yeah, I sure got a lot out of it personally to help me along in my business.

I feel like this was amplified because of my particluar topic on my blog.

OK, so I got contacts, I got information, I'm getting known in the community and AND I get to write up a bunch of stuff for my blog!

On the downside...

I think I agree with GiGi. I drove home each evening and back the next morning. This makes for a tiring event. If I could have stayed in the hotel, that would have meant more time for networking and less time on the road. I might have rested more like for the lunch breaks. I could have gone to my room for a 'power nap' or whatever. :)

Is there anything else you'd like to say about your experience at Affiliate Incubator?

PH: I think that going to AI solidified my committment to finding all of the LIVE! Internet Marketing Seminars in the world for my visitors.

It locked into me the true value of going to a LIVE! Internet Marketing Seminar in a way that just writing about it can not do.

I can see what I need to do better for my blog and for my work from the experience. I still have much to digest and I'll probably be making references to this for quite awhile yet to come.

I Read Your Blog!

I have been reading a bunch of blogs lately and, periodically, I find out that some of these bloggers just went to an Internet Marketing Seminar!

I get to them from my BlogRush widget sometimes and other times, I know about them like johnchow.com and Jeremy Schoemaker's (oh, i knew about Jeremy's tho i never went until i saw a link on BR).

I look around and sometimes I find a way to contact them and ask them for an interview. Other times, I have no idea how to contact them!

I have done interviews in two different ways so far. I spoke with David White on the phone and translated that one into text by hand. Whew! That was really something.

I read a blog post by Andrew Wee right around then about interviewing - he had some terrific ideas. I think I was reading something on johnchow.com (or somewhere) too, about interviewing busy bloggers. Whoever it was said not to bother asking 'may i interview you?' just ask the questions!

Well, I have been doing that ever since. I asked all of the folks I met at Affiliate Incubator a bunch of questions by email and many have already replied. I have most of them up on my blog already (and duh, i never wrote you my thoughts - i'll get right on that later today, i'm writing you an article right now ;).

I'll get the rest of the Affiliate Incubator 'interviews' on the IMSLS (that's short for Internet Marketing Seminar Listing Service) blog as soon as they are ready for you.

I am wondering: How Do I Get Ahold of These Folks To Ask Them About Their Experience?

If you have any ideas, I'm all ears! I sent an email to John Chow a couple of days ago and, yeah, my setup here in Columbus, Ohio ain't the greatest, I know, but I have yet to hear from him!

What's it going to take?

I appreciate any input and, hey I'll pick a commentor and offer a prize. I have something in mind - be sure to add in your email address or email me: pamhoffmanatcoxdotnet so that I can get your address and send it to you!

Prize winner will be picked on December 1st.

Thanks for stopping by,

Affiliate Incubator Interview: GiGi Konwin

The Affiliate Incubator Interviews are still coming so I'll keep posting them for you. I spoke at length with GiGi Konwin during the Seminar, (and a little bit since then) who is just a dear.

Here is HER input from Affiliate Incubator last month...

I asked: How did you find out about Affiliate Incubator?

GiGi said: Actually I won a ticket to the Affiliate Incubator. Jim Morris of Nichebot ran a contest where all you had to do was say why you think you should be one of the winners of the contest. I think sounding pathetic helped - there were 3 other winners.

PH: What did you get out of going to Affiliate Incubator?

GK: Quite a bit. I had decided before I went that I was going to write a blog about the experience for those internet marketers that have never had a chance to go to one of these seminars. It made me take really good notes. I discovered that I really had all the tools I needed, just had to figure out a way to put it all together. I think Russell's last talk on being an entrepreneur really wrapped it all up for me.

PH: What are the main things you might tell someone considering going to an Internet Marketing Seminar to convince them that they should go?

GK: There's always something new to learn. It's a great experience just to be able to talk with other people that understand the "lingo" and know what it is you do. Those of us that sit at home all day in front of a computer need to experience our professions from other people's perspective.


PH: Did you learn what you needed from Affiliate Incubator to make it worth your while?

GK: Well, obviously I did, since I didn't pay for it. Plus I was local to the area - I think that was a drawback for me. I think I would have gotten more out of it if I could have stayed later and "networked" more after hours. I would recommend staying in the seminar hotel if you can afford it.


PH: Is there anything else you'd like to say about your experience at Affiliate Incubator?

GK: Just some tips for others - take business cards, even if all they have on them are your name and email address. Make a real effort to say 'hi' to everyone, including the presenters. I'm basically a pretty shy person, so it was a real effort to do that, but you'll have a much better experience if you do.

PH: Tell me a little bit about what you are doing and be sure to include the website of your choice.

GK: Basically, I have health-related websites, but I have done a blog about my seminar experience. Be sure to read about what goes on at an internet marketing seminar here: Affiliate Marketers Dream

Congratulations on winning GiGi and Thank You for your time! I keep visiting your blog to help remind me of events from Affiliate Incubator.

On The Road Again!

Hey Gang!

I just cleaned up the laptop at my mom's in Columbus, Ohio so that I can use it to do my work from here. Did you miss me? : )

First of all, the machine wanted to update it's calendar - from 2002!

THEN there was a ton of annoying and malicious adware! I could not get past this one site on the internet - not even to get spybot on here and clean things up. My boyfriend Jeff has just been a sweetheart! He's at a Seminar today (a Real Estate Seminar!!) so I can't directly give him kudos. He'll know soon enough!

So, to make a 10 hour story into a 2 minute post. I did finally get spybot going and then the internet was completely disconnected! I must have cleaned up TOO much. Hey, it was my first time!

I did everything I could think of and then I called the ISP. Who ran me thru a lot of those DOS prompt things and THEY discovered that I had a 'winsock' error.

Well, that meant they couldn't help me! They DID give me the number for the computer manufacturer, one hour call later, and I was online again! I even got to talk with a very nice lady in India (i'm sure).

I have accomplished something I usually let my boyfriend handle. I'm feeling kind of proud of myself today.

OK, now it's back to work!!

Your Third Affiliate Incubator Interview

Here's a third 'take' on Affiliate Incubator from another attendee I met there.

Terry Hudson takes a totally relaxed attitude to all of this - it's no wonder being from St. Thomas as he is! :)

Here's what he has to say...

I asked: How did you find out about Affiliate Incubator?

Terry said: That's a great question, Pam. I live in St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Coincidentally, I've been feeling a little isolated as I think I'm the only one doing any Internet Marketing here. I've tried to talk to my friends and whenever I explain what I'm doing, I always get this really puzzled look and then they change the subject.

So when Jim Morris of Niche Bot fame announced his contest I wrote in saying pretty much what I explained above... that no one here understood what I was talking about and that I felt isolated and would like a chance to meet some cool people who had the same interest. I was one of the three chosen to receive a ticket courtesy of Jim.

PH: What did you get out of going to Affiliate Incubator?

TH: Pam, the presenters were all awesome and had their own slant on Affiliate Marketing but, there was one common thread. That was... you have to treat this like a real business, and they all echoed one another when they said you "have to be prepared to fail." Another one of my notes from Russell Brunson says... "failing makes it easier to go to the next step" I guess I'm doing something right then because I've had 3 hard disc failures in the last 18 months and have managed to put my websites and business back on track each time. It's the power here; it continually spikes or cuts off when you least expect it. I guess with each setback, you're actually one step closer to making it (even though you may not realize it.)

PH: What are the main things you might tell someone considering going to an Internet Marketing Seminar to convince them that they should go?

TH: Another good question Pam. I've read numerous times that if you don't get anything else out of an Internet Marketing seminar, the one thing you can take home with you are new friends and potential JV partners. After attending the Affiliate Incubator seminar, I can say that meeting people like you, and all the others sitting around our little group, has to be the highlight of this seminar. Don't get me wrong, I filled my workbook with notes from each speaker and have already implemented a few of the "top dawgs" suggestions. But, in the long run, the relationships I've formed are the first thing on my list of things I took home from this seminar.

PH: Did you learn what you needed from Affiliate Incubator to make it worth your while?

TH: Yes I did! I have pages and pages of notes from all the speakers. Everyone was interesting and had some very good content to pass on.

Also, as I've mentioned, I'm kind of isolated. I've sent my share of emails to well known gurus, but have almost never received a reply. There were several important attendees and speakers that I met, that I believe I could at least get some kind of personal response from now that I've put a face with a name, so to speak.

PH: Is there anything else you'd like to say about your experience at Affiliate Incubator?

TH: I would like to encourage anyone who is serious about building an internet businees to invest your time and money to attend at least one seminar. The information and most importantly, the relationships, are worth every dollar I spent attending the Affiliate Incubator Seminar.

PH: Tell me a little bit about what you are doing and be sure to include the website of your choice.

TH: Thanks for the opportunity to explain what my business is about. First of all, I have to admit that I've been doing just the opposite of what the Affiliate Incubator speakers were trying to get across. I've been going 'willy nilly' all over the place. I have clearly defined goals and a vision of what I want to achieve, but I'm coming to the realization that you can't be all things to everyone.

OK. With that said, what I've been trying to do is build a core company with niche websites on many different unrelated topics. Because of my interest in boats and the fact that I have a boat detailing business here in the Virgin Islands, I started http://www.boatdetailing.info/ to retail my product line and services. I do ok with that site and it's been online for about 36 months. Then one day, I read something about "get rich on the internet." Build Google adsense sites and the "money will come like crazy" or some such headline; and so I did. I have about 20 Adsense sites and they all make a dollar or two a day, except www.fivedaytrips.com which does $3.00 to a high of $14.00 a day. Ok, not too bad for a beginner, but where is the money? So the next thing was building sites with the intent of flipping them for $300 or so after holding onto them for a month to three months. I built some of these, but never sold one though. Tried, but I guess I didn't do it right or something(:>) So then, I decided I would get rich by having one site where I would teach newbies how to earn money online, www.terryhudson.net. I had it chocked full of affiliate ebooks, reports, free articles and you name it. Even have 30 to 50 uniques visitors each day but you know what? No money!!!

So that brings me up to date. I attended the Affiliate Incubator and learned this one key thing from Ewen Chia...

'Practice the power of one.' In other words, focus on one thing and one thing only and, when you get really good at it then... add something else. So, my big vision and dream to build a web business that I can flip one of these days is still a reality. The thing I'm concentrating on is taking it one step at a time and building value with each decision I make. Then my friends on St. Thomas will say something like this in five or six years... "you know Terry Hudson? He just sold his Internet businees for 5 mil... what an overnight success he was. Terry is one of the luckiest people I know." Ha Ha Ha... an overnight success! Everyone reading this knows how much work it takes, don't you?

PH: Do you know of any other Internet Marketing Seminars coming up that I should post to my blog?

TH: Pam, I'm counting on you to keep me informed.

Then Stay Tuned Terry! I have over 100 Internet Marketing Seminars the world over spanning the next 12 months and I'm always looking for more.

Copyright 2007 Pam Hoffman & Terry Hudson

If you ever hear of any, drop me a line and I'll be sure to list it - if I don't already have it in my database, I'll be sure to give you credit and a link to a site of your chosing. That goes for anyone who reads my blog!

Thanks so much Terry, sounds like an adventure out there, I'm looking forward to seeing how it all goes for you!

Another Affiliate Incubator Interview!

They are coming in thick and fast and since we may have a 'lull' in the Internet Marketing Seminar action, I'm just going to hang these up for you!

Let's hear from Jon Yeo who came all the way from Australia to join us at Affiliate Incubator!

PH: How did you find out about Affiliate Incubator?

JY: Its a bit of a co-incidence, although there are no accidents. I decided I wanted to get into Internet & Affiliate Marketing and a couple of opportunities came to me that week. (Way back in March). In September, I had booked a trip to San Diego, the Bob Proctor Cruise and I wanted to take advantage of my time in the US (I am from Australia) by finding an affiliate marketing seminar. Again, later that week, I got an email from Stu and Russell via Rick Raddatz that a seminar would be running in Anaheim in the days after the Cruise. It was a no brainer as my flight back to Australia is out of LA.

PH: What did you get out of going to Affiliate Incubator?

JY: That, to the creative mind, anything is possible. There are so many opportunities out there, it's almost overwhelming. I have a whole bunch of notes from the AI weekend.

PH: What are the main things you might tell someone considering going to an Internet Marketing Seminar to convince them that they should go?

JY: Be open to ideas, be prepared to connect, be prepared to add value (thanks Rick for that one- I mentally "knew" that but Rick taught me the POWER of understanding that concept). Finally, have a goal. What do you want to achieve out of that opportunity?

PH: Did you learn what you needed from Affiliate Incubator to make it worth your while?

JY: Yes and plenty more. We got plenty of ways to manage our affilliate marketing. All fantastic. Its much better than just having one technique and hoping that it works.

PH: Is there anything else you'd like to say about your experience at Affiliate Incubator?

JY: Thanks to Stu, Russel, Rick, Ewan, Germaine & the others for an awesome event.

PH: Tell me a little bit about what you are doing and be sure to include the website of your choice.

JY: I am having huge success with a blog - jointhesecret.blogspot.com, its ugly but it works, I also see amazing results with www.AbundanceByDefault.com. Its a great opportunity. Finally, check out www.crazyegg.com. Did you know moving things around on your site and watching clicks can be monitored with a heatmap? That's what Crazyegg.com does.

PH: Do you know of any other Internet Marketing Seminars coming up that I should post to my blog?

JY: No, but that's why I have you Pam. http://seminarlist.blogspot.com

You are very kind Jon! When you hear about any other Internet Marketing Seminars "Let Me Know!" ;)

Tomorrow, we will resume normal business attire!

:)

Pam Hoffman

Your First Affiliate Incubator Interview!

I told you about Affiliate Incubator, now we let some of the other folks who went express what they learned at the Seminar.

Kevin Davis generously offered these insights...

I asked: How did you find out about Affiliate Incubator?

Kevin said: We found out about Affiliate Incubator from Stu McLaren when we were in Boise for Russell's 7 Figure Bonus event. Since we purchased Affiliate Inferno in the past, we were given complementary tickets to Affiliate Incubator.

PH: What did you get out of going to Affiliate Incubator?

KD: The most important thing we get out of seminars these days, is the
networking opportunities it provides. For this event, we also learned
more about changes in our affiliate marketing to build a business around
the affiliate marketing instead of just looking for the affiliate sale.
I had always wanted to meet Ewen Chia, and learned a great deal about
Super Affiliate strategies at this event.

PH: What are the main things you might tell someone considering going to an Internet Marketing Seminar to convince them that they should go?

KD: No matter what level you are in your online business, your business will improve by attending events like this. You will have the opportunity to network with other marketers and discover different methods and tactics that you wouldn't possibly be exposed to in another environment. The face to face interaction opens a better relationship for joint ventures down the line. Many people are overwhelmed when they consider talking to "gurus", but the reality is they are just normal people too, and really enjoy sharing their information with you.

PH: Did you learn what you needed from Affiliate Incubator to make it worth your while?

KD: Absolutely, every time we attend an event we pickup new ideas, and we are then charged up and start implementing them over the following months.
This event was no different and has added a spark for us to charge forward with some projects that were slipping by the wayside. We also picked up a few potential clients for our marketing and affiliate management services.

PH: Is there anything else you'd like to say about your experience at Affiliate Incubator?

KD: It was great to connect with you, Pam, at the event as well as several
other bloggers. It will be interesting to watch our businesses evolve
in the coming months and reconnect next year at another event.

PH: Tell me a little bit about what you are doing and be sure to include the website of your choice.

KD: We are busy with a number of projects including a Forex Coaching
program, Online Video Training for internet marketing, and Marketing
Services for small to medium sized businesses outside of internet
marketing. You can find out more about what we are doing at
http://gurusforhire.com/. We will be expanding this site over the next couple months to incorporate all aspects of the Firehorse Marketing business.

PH: Do you know of any other Internet Marketing Seminars coming up that I should post to my blog?

KD: We have a seminar planned for Las Vegas towards the end of January. It will be a three day event focused on product creation. It is called Product Creation Lab, and the salesletter and blog will be put up in November.

Thank You Kevin - I have your Seminar in my database and I'll be letting everyone know about it as soon as it comes up in the line-up.

Thanks you SO MUCH Kevin! Your comments are very illuminating - even for me!

I'll be posting further comments as they come in from other attendees so...

3 Steps to Offering a Successful Workshop

Written by Patrick Schwerdtfeger*

Workshops and seminars are among the best ways to grow your business. Not only are you immediately positioned as an expert in your field but you are introduced to potential new clients at the same time. Another major benefit is that you can get introduced to multiple new clients at once, allowing you to leverage your time. Think about it. You’re getting introduced to multiple new clients in the best possible way. What could be better?

Taking full advantage of workshops and seminars requires some preparation. It requires a few steps. Can you hold a successful workshop without going through this process? Of course. But there are plenty of benefits to be had by taking some time on the front end to ensure you’re maximizing the benefits you could gain from the exercise.

First and foremost, select a topic that will sell. Easier said than done. Knowing what will sell is an intuition not everyone has. Some people have a natural ability to identify what will sell and what won’t. But a good place to start is to look at what’s selling already. There are people and companies spending millions of dollars to see what people are looking for and there’s no reason you can’t use their research results yourself.

Look at the front covers of popular magazines in your area of expertise. Trust me; whatever they have on their front cover is selling. Visit popular websites in your field. Again, the things they’re promoting on their homepage are definitely selling. Visit an online article directory and use keywords to search for articles and then sort the results by most popular. Go to Amazon and search for books the same way. Sort the results by bestselling and see what books people are actually buying.

People who are interested in golf usually have more than one book about golf. People who love dogs usually have dozens of things around their house that all have to do with dogs. And people who are interested in internet marketing usually have plenty of literature to support their efforts. Just because someone else has already addressed the topic you’d like to do yourself, doesn’t mean you can’t create a similar product. When people have an interest, they’ll keep buying and buying and buying.

Once you have a few ideas for a topic that will sell, think about how you can incorporate the same theme into a workshop and begin developing the content. In many cases, the online article directories are the best place to get free information. You can go there, print up two dozen articles on the topic and organize the various tips and strategies into your own workshop content. Using this strategy, you can quickly develop extensive content on virtually any topic imaginable.

The last step is to decide where you want to hold your workshop. There are generally four great places to consider: community organizations like Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, municipal adult education programs, for-profit adult education centers like the Learning Annex and tradeshows or conferences. In all of these cases, you can submit a proposal and get on the schedule quite easily and you don’t have to worry about marketing. They’ll provide the audience. All you have to do is show up.

Holding workshops and seminars is a brilliant way to grow your business. Don’t overlook the opportunities available and don’t think you can’t do it yourself. There is a lot more information about this topic on my website. If you’re serious about the effort, I encourage you to take advantage of the resources available there.

From another Affiliate Incubator attendee...

However, there is one thing YOU must do. That is, if you haven’t attended a seminar, make plans in the near future to attend.

The people you meet and form friendships with, will help take you to the next level of your business. The value you get from the speakers will give you ideas for future projects, and like myself… will help you envision a makeover of your approach to internet marketing.

Wishing everyone much success,

How Cool Is That?

Chris Johnson
a4uExpo
Coming Soon - I expect I'll be writing it up next in fact.

It's quite interesting getting to a booth (they really look cool) and browsing around - they make it easy to navigate and there is usually quite a bit to learn about.

I noticed that running everything takes up quite a lot of resources and I was wishing I had a better system to view everything with. I also went into a discussion which I thought would be a presentation. I was a little surprised.

It takes a little time getting used to how this works and all. At least for me, the first time it did.

Breakthrough to Success

I just found out about this late yesterday. Chris Howard was on a call with Alex Mandossian, which I heard, and it was actually pretty interesting. After they talked about the upcoming event Howard is producing, and what you can expect when you go, Howard ran us through a mental exercise. It's an immersion technique to learn to LOVE the thing you loath or fear doing.

I actually learned something!

Howard is also offering his next event at no charge...

ISS Mastermind Conference

ALERT! I JUST CHECKED AND ONLY 4 SEATS ARE LEFT!

"Internet Success System: The Ultimate Step-By-Step Apprenticeship Home Study Course and Live Mastermind Conference Program"

ISS Conference
October 18-21, 2007
Atlanta, GA

Mark Hendricks has created a Membership/Seminar combo program which comes in various levels of membership and offers different services (including the Seminar). Let's see if I can put this in simple terms for you! It's all a bit involved...

Internet Success System

This takes you to web site which describes the various levels of membership and how to participate in their Seminar.

It covers the Internet Success System itself, which is the foundation for the rest of the program. The various levels include the Basic Membership, a Silver Membership level, a Gold Membership level and the Gold Retreat.

And, of course, there is information about the Seminar itself on this site.

There is a lot of information here and it takes a little sorting out. You might enjoy going to the graph, which is most of the way down the page, to help you understand the various benefits of the diferent levels of membership.

It starts right after the bold, highlighted in yellow, text marked:

Basic - Silver - Gold

The Seminar is available to the Basic member for an extra fee. Silver and Gold members enjoy the Seminar as part of their membership.

Everything is all content and instruction - free from 'pitch-fests' they claim.

2-Day Free Conference in Atlanta

OK, it looks like Mark offered 4 x 2-day 'open mic' type events recently and he recorded them all. They are all available here for a really terrific deal. He basically fields questions from the audience and answers them. Must be pretty interesting.

So, if you know what you want to do, check out the links and see what you think.

2 Days LIVE Internet Marketing Boot Camp

It is very interesting to see where in the world these Internet Marketing Seminars show up. I get the feeling that Singapore is going to be a hotbed of competition very, very soon.

2 Days LIVE Internet Marketing Boot Camp
October 13-14, 2007

On their site, they ask...

Dear Future Internet Entrepreneur,

Can you relate to any of these 3 questions?

1) Have you always wanted to start a home-based business but don’t know how to go about it?

2) Do you ever wonder how is it that other marketers seem to be able to experience success, but you, on the other hand, are struggling just to get started?

3) Or maybe you are tired of marketing product after product and never getting any results?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I have good news for you, because TODAY, you’re going to be given an opportunity to experience the success you’ve tried for so long to achieve and put you on the road to prosperity!

Well, this is quite the Seminar. From their site...

Program DetailsThis program consists of:

*A 5-day live training in Los Angeles, CA October 8th-12th of 2007

*10 weeks of teleclass trainings after the call (2-3 hours per week)

*One “Tune-Up Day” follow-up live training in January of 2008, where we’ll get back together following your 11-weeks of “immersion” into our materials, to work on the sticking points in your business

*12 monthly teleconferences, where you get to listen to me interviewing people who have grown $10 Million+ companies (and those who have helped others do it many times)

*An online member forum where you’ll be able to connect with and talk to other success-minded entrepreneurs, get help with challenges you’re facing, and generally have a place to go to get help from people who understand what you’re going through

*An accountability and “Mastermind” program where you’ll be set up with partners and mastermind groups that are facilitated by you and other members, to give you massive support and help as you grow your business

I’ve also talked Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins, the creators of the StomperNet program, into throwing in three free months of their advanced internet marketing and Search Engine Optimization training (which they charge $800 a month for), and they said yes (because they want you to join their program, of course). If you know about the StomperNet training, then you know it’s closed for registration at the moment. This is the only offer of its kind those guys have made available to “outsiders.”

The “StomperNet” program evolved from Brad and Andy’s previous business, where they sold a program called “Stomping The Search Engines” – which featured advanced Search Engine Optimization techniques. They then created a network of their “Stompers” (thus the name “StomperNet”), expanded to teach other elements of internet marketing, and then set the record for internet product launches when they launched their program last year.

As part of this exclusive arrangement, you’ll have a 3-month StomperNet membership set up for you, with full access to all of their content and training. Their platform and program feature:

*300 hours of online training in the areas of Search Engine Optimization, blogs, internet video, analytics, website usability and design, pay-per-click marketing, e-commerce shopping cart setup, and much, much more

*10 Full-time Search Engine Optimization experts, plus 20 other faculty members, who create and upload over 10 hours of new internet marketing content to their membership site each week

*Access to their online portal, which includes internet marketing forums, blogs, and other advanced user-created content

*Live events every 90 days, where business owners can learn cutting-edge internet marketing techniques live and in-person

*Bi-weekly faculty online coaching calls and even member site reviews and coaching If you want to learn advanced internet marketing and Search Engine Optimization, then this will take you to the next level.

Our Offer

Our offer is very simple and direct: to give you a customized, step-by-step plan to grow your business.

We promise to cut through the noise in your marketplace to bring clean, actionable thinking. You will leave the two-day session with an understandable, workable and written plan to increase your business and bring more revenue to your enterprise.

We will teach you how to institute the following:

Effective Lead Generation
Effective Automatic Marketing Strategies and Tactics
Effective Selling Systems
Effective Business Systems, Organizations and Structures

The four points above have been discussed by others, but how many actually do these things and succeed? Not many. There are few who are doing it everyday in their own businesses both online and offline.

We will take your site and analyze the:

Offer
Market
Positioning
Lead generation systems
and
Traffic sources

We will tell you what to track and test within your business, so you can see and know exactly what to do. We will also list areas that you should ignore or avoid that can steal your valuable time. We will give you the final report in both written format and comprehensive Camtasia video. You won't have to remember what was said or re-examine your notes. All of the information will be there for you to review as many times as you need, whenever you need it.

You will walk away from this workshop with a map of your market and an understanding of your customers that will give you clear directions on how to "make It rain."

The cost of the conference is just $6,000.00, which includes both the conference and the service of evaluating your site. Our normal fee is $10,000.00 each to perform these same services.


Come and experience what a web marketing conference should be.

The Marketing Seminar

Well, I initially learned about this on September 2nd yet there was very little information about it then. Tonight, I opened an email with the subject:

"Pam - Meet Us Live In Sandusky..."

And I'd've missed it at that if Sandusky wasn't one of my FAVORITE places in the whole world. You see, Cedar Point is there and as a child growing up in Northern Ohio, we went a lot. Cedar Point is a great Amusement Park.

SO, I pieced together the two messages and finally go the 'scoop' on this Seminar. It's happening a lot sooner than I thought so here ya go...
