Deb and I just wrapped up a whirlwind 3-day speaking event in Baltimore called The Internet Marketing Main Event where we spoke on New Media marketing. It was a terrific sold out event with over 300 online and off-line business owners and marketers in the audience. Paulie Sabol, Mike Filsaime, and Donna Fox did an awesome job with everything from the food to the clockwork-like precision of the entire event.

We’ve had a terrific time meeting dozens of new friends and partners from around the world, some of whom you’ll be hearing about very soon as we move closer to the launch of our book Secrets Of Online Persuasion.

One of the most exciting things about this weekend’s event was being ranked #1 by the audience out of the dozen speakers. We tied with our good friend and mentor, Stephen Pierce (which is just fine with us. )

We were honored to be ranked above such great speakers as speaking giant John Childers, Dave Lakhani best-selling author of “Persuasion: The Art of Getting What You Want”, and NY Times best-selling author Joel Comm (”The Adsense Code”.)

And we were totally thrilled with the reviews of our upcoming book Secrets Of Online Persuasion, which Ingram and Morgan James publishing had graciously given us pre-release copies of to start building buzz.

What’s even more impressive is that the New Media Marketing and business blogging presentation we gave was the buzz of the entire weekend. Just like the off-line business world, even in the internet marketing world is JUST catching wind of the practicality, ease, and exponential marketing power of blogs and New Media. The first tidal wave of transformation has swept over the marketplace, but the second wave is cresting setting you up for the perfect “ride”.

So grab your marketing surfboard and get ready for the ride of your life! There are some incredible things rolling in here at Advanced Business Blogging over the next few months!

We’re off to take the water taxi from Fells Point across the inner harbor to the landmark made historical in the war of 1812, Fort McHenry.

Enjoy!
