Wow, what a week last week! I didn't get a chance to post before I left, but I was in Denver all last week for an amazing internet marketing conference.
Last year, I was asked to be a coach for Agora Publishing's ETR (Early to Rise) group at their 5 Days in July Internet Marketing conference.
If you're not familiar with Agora, they are headquartered out of Baltimore and have quite a few divisions of online publishing for investments... real estate, health and in the last few years, internet marketing.
5 Days in July is a very intense week in which we take people with no or very little online experience and show them how to build an online business.
Their website building software of choice is Xsitepro, and that is how they found me.
It's just an amazing week. There are attendees there literally from all corners of the globe. Last year, there was an attendee all the way from Egypt, this year there were people from Australia and Japan.
ETR does millions of dollars of business online in selling information products and their list is in the hundreds of thousands, so I was absolutely thrilled when they asked me to come back to be a coach again this year.
The days are very intense and long, but the contacts you make at an event like this will be priceless in the long run.
You definitely get to know quite a few people during the week. Last year I met and talked with Jeff Walker (from Product Launch Formula) and this year, the guest speaker was Alex Mandossian who is known for his Teleseminar Secrets.
I'm not an "internet marketing guru" follower, but I have to say, both gentlemen were really quite down to earth and very transparent. I was quite surprised.
The really great news is that while I was gone, Doug got a call from the investment firm he's been interviewing with and they told him that they are putting together his formal job offer package (YIPPEE!!!!)
They are flying out here for the company's annual meeting, so we are all getting together this weekend and I'm pretty certain that is when they'll present it to him.
We've had 3 house showings, no offers yet, but the feedback has been really good so far, so we know we are definitely at the right price range for our house. It only takes one, right? (Keeping my fingers crossed that that one will show up soon!)
