Anti-Marketing Marketing – My Seminar Take Away

May 15, 2012 By Mark 21 Comments

I've just returned from a weekend in London where I was giving a presentation at the London Warrior Gathering. I've done 2 presentations In the past to members of Wordpress Goldmine and because they were quite small groups it didn't really prepare me for a full on seminar like this which had over 120 attendees and 10 other speakers. Let me tell you this, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Being able to talk to people at different stages of Internet marketing, from people with multi million dollar income to people who have been in IM for a few months and haven't made any money yet … [Read more...]

I did something similar a few weeks back the result was about $12,000 in sales of one of my old products, plus a Joint Venture that should be profitable to both of us.

March 30, 2012 By Mark 17 Comments

I've just finished putting together the March edition Of I.M. Manifesto which will be released over the weekend. One thing I noticed and was made clear to me when I was reading the articles that this months contributors had submitted was, Most people I know through this blog and WPG are sensible and don't get caught up in the hyperbole and sabre rattling that seems to emanate from many blogs and public forums. Since google changed the algo last week (zzzz Booooring) there have been numerous posts about the death of SEO (Yes I know I wrote one myself!) and people stating half truths and … [Read more...]
