As always, your blog is interesting (read: controversial) and it's nice to be able to discuss the various elements of your posts.

Good points about releasing a report for each thing we have learned, and I agree. If one's own learning can help others learn it's actually spreading the good methods that worked for ourselves.

Good idea.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

BTW - I've read Jason's report and it is EXCELLENT! He shared some great tips for getting the most from a seminar - and naturally mentions you sharing in the fun.

My best post-seminar productivity tip? I use spreadsheet-based trackers to run my business (I share all of them in my Organize Your Online Business product). So as soon as I get out of the seminar room, I take the "keepers" and "to-dos" that I have in my notes and add them to my Activity Tracker - all under a new tab for that specific conference. For each I set a deadline and the project it relates to. Then I just start working my way through them.

Since I tend to remember the event more than I do the task, I find that keeping them all under one tab makes it easy to refer to "that" URL I remember Stu mentioning or "that" idea I got from Armand.

1. The set up instructions refers to the 'sales page url' (// URL to the forum thread where the special offer is being held). I'm not entirely sure what this means - I have many sales pages leading to many products. Is it necessary to fill this part in or can I just leave it blank? (ie. $sales_url2 = ""; in the config script).

2. Also, for a few of the products I sell I would like an email also cc'd to a second email address after the purchase has been made. Not for all products though just a couple of them. Is this possible? If yes, how do I do it.

Many thanks!

For those of you who have not purchased from Robert before let me publicly say his support is second to none.

I purchased his most recent package and had a question and instead of trying to charge me more money (which I would have gladly paid) he was able to help me figure out what needed to be done in only 3 email exchanges.

Thanks again for your products and your support.

What I took away from Affiliate Incubator was a plan to throw out most of what I'd been doing (unproductive and time & money consuming) and focus on one business model until I make it work. I kind of created a hybrid from some of the various presentations that I'm going to run with.

Oh, and I'm seriously increasing my use of Traffic Geyser (submitted 15 videos last night for an affiliate offer). It will be an interesting experiment as every single keyword I targeted had reasonable volume yet was under 300k search results, and each video's keywords were tightly grouped by relevancy. Plus I haven't yet done any other promo for the squeeze page, so all traffic will be video related.

This morning I'm just starting to see some placements in the SERPS; not as high as I wanted, but it's only been 12 hours...

My method for keeping that "high" around as long as possible? I typed out a half page (in big letters) 10 point action plan and stuck it on the wall right above my computer. So far so good...

Sorry I missed the reply, battling a bad cold right now.

I'm going to the World Internet Summit in Toronto Nov 6-9.

I already live far enough north of there to begin with, so I jumped at an opportunity to get to this one as I can drive to it.

I don't ever recall it coming here (Ontario) and didn't want to miss the opportunity.

It's going to be a huge shift for me to be at a live event of any kind which is a good thing.

All the best,

Jason

I abandoned seminars and company meetings a long long time ago!

I determined, fairly quickly, it was a needless waste of time and money, not unlike many stupid unnecessary regular company type meetings.

In the past I decided that regular company meetings should be avoided at all costs unless it is project progress type meeting or think tanks,unless they dock your paycheck in my case, as a waste of your precious time and then later concluded that seminars were ,for the most part, a waste of money and precious time.

Since your still just a punk kid, you can be easily be forgiven for not being fully aware of this phenomena. lol

However, you are right on man when it comes to converting your notes, like from Biochemistry, Nursing and Medicine lectures etc to PDF

When you have to rewrite your notes into a more legible form it re enforces the learning process and you are less apt to forget the important stuff from the lectures, then of course read the assigned chapters and do the recommend problems at the end of the chapter your mentor recommends.

Although I don't know short hand you must develop your own style of shorthand to keep up with the lectures,this tip is intended for one of the above comments. Sorry, I forgot which one you were.

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

I've only been to one seminar, and I came home with such high hopes, totally mind-boggled, and a sore wrist from taking notes on every speaker... now I know better how to tackle seminars thanks to you and all your terrific readers.

Oh yeah, definitely don't take notes on every speaker. There is no way you are going to be able to do AdWords campaigns at 8 AM, AdSense at 9 AM, CPA networks at 10 AM, article marketing at 11 AM, forum marketing at 12 PM, product creation at 1 PM, etc.

When I went to my first seminar (Warrior event in Austin -- April 2008) I noticed myself keeping track of who was ALWAYS taking notes, about every speaker. I made it a point not to approach those people. Because who would want to joint venture with somebody with that kind of Internet Marketing A.D.D.?

There is a place to get the "Thought Stringing" in a PDF without sharing any info... pretty slick, I just downloaded it and will be reading shortly.

Here's Ryan Deiss' site where you get the ebook: http://www.wholesaletrafficsystem.com/stringing/

Both of your tips and Jason's are going to come in really handy in November.

Cool, what seminar are you attending?
