Whoa…

Sorry I’ve been so behind on letting you in on the results of that product that me and 71 other Internet marketers did at the JVAlertLive seminar in Orlando, FL. It rocked!

I never had so much fun creating a product, which is usually like bleeding from the soul. There’s so much planning and preparation and build up and usually by the time the product is finished, you’re exhausted and too emotionally beat up to sell it. But you do, anyway.

But this was a trip. We all had to write one great tip about joint venturing, a testimonial for the product, and provide a bonus. People like Eric Stafford (The Faster Webmaster), Ross Goldberg, Stuart Tan, Paul Easton, Cindy Parker, Mike Paetzold, Steve Roye, Andy Duncan, and on and on where there, too, so there were some pretty awesome tips. So, what resulted was a really cool book about JVs and about $5,000 in products. Joel Comm got on the video, while suffering from the flu, made a video headline for the page, and we were off and running.

Joel actually left early, which was a bummer. I really wanted to meet him and thank him for some stuff he sent me last year via Tellman, but he got sick, and so Eric Holmlund and Dan Nickerson led us through this exercise, and we were all scurrying to get stuff typed and emailed to Eric so he could create the .pdf and it was inSANE!!!

The copywriting team came up with a killer headline. I typed like the wind with about 7 other typists (well, Paul Easton had to read the testimonials to me, LOL), and we all had a great time. We even made money! And to think this happened in just 90 minutes. Very cool

But that wasn’t the coolest thing about JVAlertLive. There were at least 10 cool things and people: Ken McArthur, of course, is a gracious and wonderful host and he attfacted presenters like Dave Lakhani, Brandon Bouchard, Christine Comaford-Lynch, Kevin Nations, and Jermaine Griggs. I know I missed someone. Oh, yeah… Jaime Luchuck and the other cast members from The Next Internet Millionaire. Good people.

Christine is going to be part of my teleseminar series, which is awesome! I’m very excited because she’s just awesome. I hope you’ll register for the calls at Blogging4Boomers.com . You don’t have to be a Boomer. I am, and just thought it was a cool domain so I bought it. But what I’d like to do is to help Baby Boomers (like me) create their retirement from online income. (A lot of us are worried about that.)

The site’s doing great, actually. Lots of people are coming in every day. We’ve had about 2,000 people register in just the first couple of days, and thre will only be phone lines for 200, though you can attend on the Web.

But, if you want to be on the first call–register. It will be Tuesday evening (Feb. 19th) and with Mike Paetzold, an old friend (whom I just met at the seminar, after 4 years of knowing him), who will teach you tons of stuff about having a WordPress blog. He’s just awesome and I know you’ll learn a LOT.

I’m really looking forward to having you on the calls.

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!

I don’t know Ben Mack very well, though we did spend some “group” time at a conference in LA awhile back. I found him to be highly, highly intelligent and someone that is full of mystery and interesting thoughts and information.

Ken McArthur wrote about him a while back, wondering why Ben wasn’t clearly communicating.

My take is that it’s not that Ben tries to be “superior” or “cloudy,” or anything like that. He’s just Ben, and that’s how he thinks and he communicated on a much higher level than most “regular” people.

So?

It’s not Ben as much as it is everyone else. He scares them. Hell, he scares me a little because he’s so frickin’ smart. And he’s a magician. I’ve seen him perform tricks about two feet away, and well…  You can’t trust magicians, right? LOL

But here’s an interview with Dave Lakhani, the master of persuasion, talking about Ben and why he’s the way he is.

And he should absolutely stay that way.
