The best way to find out about conferences is to get on the email lists for experts/gurus that are teaching stuff along the lines of what you need. The trick is not to get overwhelmed by the opportunities or feel like you have to do them all. Find the ones that you believe will give you info that you can act on right away and see results.

Hi guys. I really enjoy your podcasts. I have just about finished all of them to date and have come to feel like you guys are my pals.

You often talk about going to seminars, networking, etc. Can you suggest some ideas how I might go about taking advantage of these learning experiences. I’m kind of insulated here in Orange County, CA and not sure how to find out when and where these seminars take place. (I am actually trying to educate myself generally as regards internet marketing as I plan to start a new business shortly doing what I used to do–import and wholesale handbags. I am intrigued about the possibility of selling online as well as going with my usual model of shipping to retail chain stores.)

Thank you very much for your information, wit, and good cheer.

Best regards,

John Mead

I’m a fan of the podcast but would have to give you 2 thumbs way down on the new intro. Though I appreciate there may be a degree of sarcasm/irony intended (no?) it typecasts your audience too narrowly, and promises too much. This might appeal to the “get rich quick guys” but not the quality of clientele I believe you’re reaching.

For instance, I run my own business and don;t view the world as “uninspired” or “cynical”. What I appreciate about you guys is your candor and authenticity – this intro is a total disconnect.

Use your own voice – not some superhero on steroids. Remember, this is going to be the first thing people hear of you and they may not get the clever “joke” (probably haven;t read the 4-hour work week either).

At first I thought your old intro was a little raunchy but its grown on me. As Bob pointed out, it’s catchy and has definitely become a part of your brand in my mind.

We’ll put the call out for you :).

@Marc,

The course is not available yet, but watch for an opportunity at the beginning of 2008.

Bottom line its the content you and I look forward to on each podcast, not the dude that does the Saturday Night Drag Racing Commercials on the radio. (Just having some fun Sterling and Jay).

Why don’t more people comment on your blog? This is a quality blog. We need more points of view here! Sterling and Jay, ask more people to comment on your blog on the next podcast.

Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering what people would think of this change. Any other opinions?

I know change is good for all whether we like it or not.

Oh, and let suggest a topic, we are going to be transcribing our blogs and then taking those transcriptions and posting them on some of the article hub sites. What do you think of that idea?
