Loving JVAlert Live

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

So, here I am sitting in a hotel in Orlando at the JVAlertLive conference. Lemme tell ya, if you haven’t been, you’re really missing something special. You know I’ve written about Ken McArthur before and I think he’s one of the nicest guys going. Well, that’s how his seminars are. It’s just a great group of folks and I’m learning, making deals, and having an incredible time.

The seminars started yesterday, actually. First Ken did a demonstration of marketing, which was pretty cool. You’ll have to see it. I can’t explain, but it involved some books. But he’s not like a teacher, he’s more like a friend. You don’t feel taught or sold, ever. You’re just drawn in by his affability and this feeling of his genuine want to help people. It’s really a cool way to be. It’s the only way to be, really, and that’s why Ken is so successful.

Then, Dave Lakhani started. Whoa. I had never heard his story before, which means I probably have my head in the sand, but this is one very powerful dude. I mean, you’re almost afraid not to do what he tells you because he’s just so freakin’ powerful. He just knows how to persuade people to do things. I swear, I’ve been ready to pop out the credit card for every damned offer at the back of the room. Next time. After my teleseminar series, eh?

And then, Joel Comm was here with The Next Internet Millionaire cast. Joel was coming down with something and couldn’t stay, which totally sucked, but hopefully he’s feeling better quickly. I’m disappointed that I didn’t even get to shake his hand. I don’t know him at all, but he has sent me some stuff via Tellman, and I just wanted to at least thank him and say hello.

Well, then came Brendon Burchard. Whoa. Let me tell you… I have never even heard of this guy before (and again, probably because I have my head up… well, you get the idea), but whoa, whoa, and triple whoa. What he does is so INCREDIBLY powerful that I’m dying to go to his seminar in San Francisco in June. Really. He deals with non-profits and Fortune 500 companies. I mean, this isn’t Internet marketing solely. He uses the Internet, but he shows you how he gets these big entities to pay for everything he wants to do. And in this seminar, he shows you exactly how he does it. I mean to say, it’s just brilliant! No, genius. Definitely genius. And he’s like 32 years old or something.

Working with all these young people only serves to remind me that I’ve been wasting so much time! Argh!

I can go on and on and on, and I’ll probably blog more tomorrow, but if you haven’t come to JVAlertLive, you’re missing something very cool.

Very cool. Save your pennies. Hock your jewelry. Whatever you have to do… Get to the next JVAlertLive. It’s my first, and I’m not bound to miss many more, I can tell you.

Oh, and how about Christine Comaford Lynch for my teleseminar series? Yes. I’ll tell you more about that tomorrow or when I get home. Haven’t had much time since I got here, but WOW! I’m jazzed. I’ve met a ton of very cool and fun people, too.

Can you tell? :-)

Yep. I’m hooked. Hear that, Ken? Ha!

PHP Rant

Well, sort of.

I got Launch Formula Marketing for my membership site. $250. Easy to use, right?

Totally wrong.

It’s probably mostly my fault because I’m not a PHP programmer. I understand it ever so slightly and can do things like alter my blog template, for example.

But I can’t do anything with my membership site.

It’s working for members, which is what my main concern is. They’re great, and they make me feel good about what I’m doing almost every day. I have the best members in the universe. Really. They rock!

But…

I’m setting up this fabu teleseminar series. It’s got people like:

Tellman Knudson (of course) of The List Building Blog

Brian Edmondson (why definitely) from Blog with Brian He’s got an awesome customization. I’m jealous.

Mike Paetzold (a real WP kinda guy) from Mike Paetzold Recommends

Reed Floren, who’s amazing on Facebook. His JV group is really active and once I’m settled in with this membership site stuff, I’ll be getting in on some really great JVs, just from being a member.

Ken McArthur, who uses his JVAlert blog for some amazing bonding with his audience. JVAlertLive starts tomorrow!

Andy Duncan of Netslingers.com, who uses his blog for a niche audience.

Stephen Pierce–don’t you just wait for his dtAlpha Talkback emails each week? I know I do. I love to listen to this man talk. He’s very generous with his information and the way he gives it to you is totally charming and inspiring.

Ted Demopolous, who wrote Blogging for Business, and a few more books on the topic. Smart and very nice guy.

And lest I forget, one of my favorite people–Mike Morgan, or “Million Dollar” Mike Morgan. His copywriting skills are so STRONG that his sales letters have already pulled in a million bucks in a day. Wish I could afford him. :-)

And there’s going to be a cool mystery guest, too.

So you can see why I’m desperate to get this working. I just contacted a programmer. In my heart of hearts, I hope he can fix this.

Or, I’m going insane.

Want to come?

Go sign up for the series at http://blogging4boomers.com It’s free!

And then, check out the membership site. I have tons of great stuff inside and add more every month. You don’t have to be a Boomer, but we’re the ones coming online, trying to eke out just a little extra to survive.

I hear you! I feel your pain! I’m a Boomer, too!

Blogging Teleseminar Series Kicks Off Soon

I have a good reason for not posting for such a long time. It’s not like me, huh?

Well…

I have a new website that’s ready for business called Blogging4BoomersinBusiness.com and I’m launching it with a dynamite teleseminar series with folks like Tellman Knudson, Mike Morgan, Ken McArthur, Brian Edomondson, Stephen Pierce, Mike Paetzold, Ted Demopolous, Reed Floren, Andy Duncan, and a suprise interview that will knock your socks off!

I don’t think that a series has ever been done like this before. If you want to sign up, just go to http://easyseotricks.com/pat and claim a ticket.

You’ll be very glad you did.

Calls start with Mike Paetzold on February 19 at 8 p.m. EST.

Mike is one of the foremost authorities on all things WordPress. I’m pretty smart, but Mike is da man when it comes to figuring out the tech end of things. Plus, he’s a really fun and smart guy to have on the first call. I’m really looking foward to it. Mike & I have been friends for years and I’m truly honored to have him participating.
So, don’t wait. Go to http://easyseotricks.com/pat and get on board!
