Ross Goldberg pulled off an incredible feat when he called in favors from his inner circle of friends and hosted the Virtual Masters Seminar. The Live virtual event took place during December 5 through December 14, 2008. Each day was jam packed with the Best of the Best in all different fields of expertise in internet marketing. To give you an idea of the caliber of speakers Ross was able to pull together for this event, here’s the list:

Ross Goldberg, Carrie Wilkerson, Coach Deb, Kevin Riley, Brad Semp, Lee & Robin Collins, Colin McDougall, Warren Whitlock, Yanik Silver, Erik Stafford & Alan Bechtold, Mari Smith, Joel Comm, David Preston, Mark Joyner, Kevin Nations, Stuart Tan, Simon Leung, Howie Schwartz, Michel & Sylvie Fortin, Matt Bacak, Andrew Sundstrom, Patric Chan, Ray Edwards, Bob Jenkins, Dan Nickerson, David Wilkinson, and Micheal Savoie.

So as you can see from the list, this was definitely worth the small investment of $10 for those who took immediate action and $20 for everyone else. Either way, Ross undercharged and overdelivered!

And it wasn’t just Ross who overdelivered. Every speaker I heard (still catching up on speakers I missed through the available replays) overdelivered with great content and actionable steps.

Yes they all had products to promote, but the special offers they put together for Ross to offer us were more than generous. As if their time, expertise, and tips weren’t enough. The only problem I had was deciding what and who I was to spend my limited funds on.

From what I hear, Ross plans on doing this again sometime in 2009. If he does, I would strongly suggest you make the investment and attend. Ross thought of everything when he put this event together, he had some of the most sought after speakers, a forum for attendees to network, chat sessions for attendees to network and ask questions, and replays to accommodate all schedules.

The Virtual Masters Seminar was an awesome event that was filled with out of this world speakers, offers, and new friends. I can not say enough good things about the Virtual Masters Seminar and Ross Goldberg.

Thank you Ross for an Experience of a Lifetime!

Always Grateful!

First my deepest apologies for not being consistent and staying away from my blog as long as I have. The truth is, I have been struggling with my marketing and making money online and just went into a funk and almost gave up. But I’m not a quitter and I truly believe that financial freedom can be attained online. So in reality, quitting was never really a part of the equation and I just needed to rethink my plan of attack for achieving my goals.

So I stepped back from what I was doing, cut back on some of the monthly membership fees that I felt provided No value, refrained myself from falling prey to any more of the marketing Hype for the “next” Big Marketing Secret, and some how ended up spending a good deal of my time building relationships on Twitter.

Twitter, you might say? Why would you waste your time on Twitter? Why not market “harder” instead of spending useless hours on Twitter? Twitter is just a “time suck.” No one makes money with Twitter.

If this is what you’ve heard and this is what you believe about Twitter . . . You’re WRONG!!

This past Wednesday – June 4, 2008 – I attended my first live event – Howie Schwartz’s Online Profit Workshop – and all I can say is, “WOW” what a wonderful experience.  I had no idea what to expect and actually was a little nervous about going because I wasn’t sure my knowledge would be up to par with the content to be delivered.  I wasn’t that familiar with “Social Marketing” and “Web 2.0″ and that is one of Howie’s fields of expertise.

I had heard Howie a few months ago on a teleseminar with another well-known Social Marketing Web 2.0 genius,  Jack Humphrey.   I was simply amazed to hear what they had to say, but in retrospect, I was not ready for the content they delivered.  It just sat there in the back of my brain as I continued to focus my efforts in other areas.  The impression lasted however and the names would not be forgotten.  I continued to keep up with Jack through his Friday Traffic Report and heard Howie maybe one other time (not really sure of this as I think I had him mixed up with someone else).  In any case, I liked the quality of content they delivered and put them on my “worth following” list.

Then I heard Joel Comm on Ask.JoelComm.com answer the popular question,  ”What’s the fastest way to make money online?”  You can watch the clip here if you like but the short answer was, “Go to a conference!”  “Go to a conference!”

Let me ask you a question: Do you think it is easier to sell your product or services to a complete stranger or to a person you have had contact with before; whether it’s an email conversation, forum participation or even an existing customer relationship (i.e. already bought something from you). Without a doubt, it would be harder to sell to a total stranger who has no prior experience with you and/or your products or services.  First time buyers, who haven’t been referred by a family member or friend, still have to go through a process of:
