Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

I’m off on a road trip to Vegas to teach at Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing conference. Should be a great event.

But I need to get there first.

I live in Leland, North Carolina, across the bridge from Wilmington, NC. So it’s quite a ways to drive. But nevertheless, my partner Joanna convinced me how cool it would be (plus she hates flying).

So earlier today we set out for our first stop – Birmingham, Alabama.

Along the way, I’ve been shooting video of what we’re seeing, which will be loaded up soon (I’m writing this from a hotel whose connection is not quite fast enough to upload vid clips).

Unfortunately, after the first hour or so, we hit rain. And then more rain, and then even more rain. Pretty much torrential madness. Evidently there was a wannabe tropical depression that came up from Florida that stalled out over the Southeast.

A couple of things discovered:

• the auxiliary jack of the Rav4 I’m renting, or the equipment I bought at Wal-mart to hook up my iphone & ipods to the stereo system are causing a loud whine that gets higher pitched the faster you accelerate. Very odd.
• Adam Urbanski continues to impress me. I listened to more of his Attract Clients Like Crazy recordings through my earphones, and had some neat “ah-has” about my internet marketing.
• Sometimes it’s good to break out the old CDs you haven’t listened to in a while, and be amazed at how much you remember the lyrics to songs from long ago. Makes me wish I was more musically talented so I could deliver my internet marketing lessons through song to make them more memorable.
• I’m excited to be using my new Flip Ultra HD. It’s creating larger file sizes, which is what I was afraid of. But it holds 2 hours of recording time, and it’s a nice picture for sure. We have a back up Flip 30min that we’re also going to be using on the trip.

But the biggest fun of the first day was meeting up with one of my long time clients/students that I met in Sterling Valentine’s Power Month: Frank Kilgore. Frank’s been through just about all my virtual workshops, and he always cracks me up when he’s on the calls. We met up tonight at PF Chang’s for the first time.

He’s even better in person, and we had a great time catching up. We recorded a video that I’ll also be posting up soon.

Anyway, we have a long trip ahead tomorrow. It’s the longest day going there – to Oklahoma City. This is a part of the country I’ve never been through, so Joanna was right (don’t tell her that though!).
