Steve Irwin: 180 Minutes to Remember Him By

One of the bigger events in town this summer was a visit from Animal Planet. I have to admit taking two teenagers and one already past the double digits made me feel, well, like a young(er) mom again. The enthusiasm the kids showed for the event was mirrored by my muted excitement. We all love "real animals" and Animal Planet is the only approved network for in-hotel viewing. So, when we found out we could interact with "real animals" right here in town, we put the date on the calendar in great big bold letters. When we got there, it was no surprise to see my friends with their preschoolers and I wasn’t embarassed to sit alongside mini-kids in the air-conditioned tent at all. Each of my kids auditioned for "Endurance" – and 1/3 rock climbed. On the way out of the park, I remember thinking, "Were we really there for two hours?" Yep, we were. And our stop wasn’t complete until we stepped up to the gift tent so I could check out Steve Irwin’s video – the last one left. "It’s three hours of crocodile wrestling, Mom! We HAVE to HAVE IT!!!" The passionate pressure pitch was enough to crack up the entire tent of volunteers. What’s a mother to do in a situation like that except pull out the credit card? "At least you get three hours of peace when you get home," one of the volunteers chuckled. She was right. I got three hours of peace that day and  for a few days after that. When the kids heard Steve Irwin was gone, they said, "At least we have three hours of video." That’s all we have, but at least we have that. Here’s hoping there are lots of crocodiles to wrestle in the sky.

Virtual Seminar Product in the Lab

Stu McLaren, the Idea Guy and affilate marketing manager expert, pulled back the curtain on the Virtual Seminar Week in a call tonight. According to Stu, Rick Raddatz is working on a Virtual Seminar product.

Unlock the Internet Game on 9/6

What would happen if you talked to everyone who visited your site? You’d probably convert more sales, answer loads of questions and be able to fine-tune your site so that visitors get exactly what they’re looking for right away. In visiting Perry Marshall’s The Definitive Guide to Ad Words site, I got a pop up chat window with a photo of Brian who wanted to know if I was finding everything okay. Kind of strange to have a web site talk to you, but also reassuring to know there’s a human being on the other side of the screen. Although I’m not sure of their technology, I think Perry Marshall’s new product is built on www.liveperson.com.  You’re on your own on this one – I don’t have any experience with it, but the site’s credentials impressed me. The only downside (if there is one) is  – you’re going to need a live person to monitor the site.  Ari Galper and Perry Marshall’s new product, Unlock the Internet Game, talks about how the direct marketing sales letter is dead. It’s an interesting concept – one worth reading. Who knows? Maybe Ari will check in with you like he did with me a few minutes ago. Totally Cool!!!

Virtual Seminar Week Pre Launch Announced

Always wanted to experience an Internet marketing seminar, but didn’t want to travel to do it?

Check out Virtual Seminar Week

Brought to you by Alex Mandossian and Rick Raddatz, this virtual event happens in November, but you need to sign up by September 26 to get your discount. 

Studying what these two are up to is one way to preview what’s going to happen next.

While there is a registration fee, you can save $50 by agreeing to promote the event. That’s what I’m doing here. And, because these two gave affiliates a script to go by, I’m posting it verbatim so you can see how the copy previews the event by organizing the speakers into small groups. A link with a call to action separates the groups and keeps the energy flowing. In all, the link appears a dozen times.

On the site itself, the audio outlines the benefits with a compelling close. Listen as Alex coaches the listener on how to complete the form.

What would I do differently? I’d organize the speakers by categories – maybe that’s coming up as the event rolls out.  And, I’d spell Napoleon and fulfillment correctly.

Here’s their copy . . .

Check out this ‘virtual seminar’ happening soon.

Note: This is a virtual seminar, not a hotel seminar.  A hotel

seminar costs thousands of dollars to attend (after travel, hotel,

and attendee fee).  VSW costs much less because

you listen over the phone or web, from the comfort of

your own home.

In fact, VirtualSeminarWeek costs only $97 to attend — but if you

act now, you won’t even pay that price. You see, a $50 coupon

is available if you click this link now:
