• I'm tired, my head hurts, and I think I gained 7 pounds this past week, but what I have to tell you is extremely important so here I am writing.

    I don't want to be here in front of my computer writing this blog post. I want to be back in Paris, hanging out with the all the division heads of Agora, brainstorming more clever schemes to easily increase profits.

    Writing sucks. I hate to write (although I do love to have written things). Anyone that claims they love to write is either a compulsive liar or a social misfit. I mean, what sort of perverted soul would rather sit and exert the tremendous effort it takes to fill a blank screen alone when he could be sipping vintage wine, smoking Cuban cigars, eating chocolate croissants, and brainstorming with the most successful information marketers on the planet.

    If you are wondering why am I negative today? The answer is simple: I just got back from my short worldwide tour and I am just now getting over the final lingering of Jet lag.

    Last week, I left beautiful Boca Raton and spent 2 days in Baltimore (Mike Filsaimevs seminar), 1 day in Las Vegas (the World Internet Summit) and 1 day in San Diego (Frank Kern's Underachiever Weekend Conference), then I went directly to France and spent the rest of the week at the Agora Castle with Bill Bonner, Michael Masterson, Porter Stansberry, MaryEllen Tribby, and many other marketing veterans who contribute to the staggering $270 million in annual sales that Agora clears.

    You've got to hand it to that bunch over at Agora. Think about it - $270 million selling nothing but ideas - newsletters, special reports, e-zines, and so on.

    Not bad money for emailing out a bunch of electrons, is it?

    Thats why I am so excited about the upcoming projects I have lined up with them. It's rare to get the opportunity to learn from a group as successful as Agora is, and I plan on seizing every opportunity to work with and learn from this ultra successful company. This leads me to why I am writing to you right now (as opposed to sitting outside and watching the ocean).

    A few weeks ago Agora invited me to speak at their big fall Internet marketing conference here in south Florida.

    My initial reaction was "You've got to be kidding!"

    As you know, I've been crazy busy lately and the last thing on my mind was ANOTHER commitment. But the more I thought about it, the more it intrigued me - mainly because of the USP for their event.

    In a nutshell, it's this: Come to the conference with an idea for the kind of products or services you'd be interested in selling online. They'll run it through their team of marketing experts and hand you a "customized" plan for building a profitable Internet business. Don't have an idea? They'll give you one, by helping you determine your strengths and refining your passions.

    Yes, I'm sure a lot of this "marketing plan" you get will be boilerplate. But here's the interesting thing...

    When I look at what makes Agora's model work so well, it turns out that "boilerplate" is exactly how they've been so successful:

    * Step 1: Develop a multi-million dollar repeatable formula for selling nearly free information at 1,000%+ markups.

    * Step 2: Find new niches to apply the formula to.

    * Step 3: Repeat as needed (in their case to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year).

    They've already perfected step 1 so basically you just have to show up, absorb it, and then go off and apply steps 2 and 3 to your situation.

    This is just what they do within their company. It's a very unique outfit built from dozens of 'mini-companies' within itself that knock each other off. But the information market just keeps growing and growing and growing...

    So after some thought, I realized it would be kind of fun to take them up on their offer... and in the process show off some new ideas I've been working on myself in the past few weeks. As a result, I've decided to join them at their "Early to Rise Info-Marketing Bootcamp".

    The way I figure it, if I am willing to hop on a plane and fly to France on a moments notice, or to basically put the growth of my own company on hold to partner with them so I can learn more... then I need to tell you about what may be your only opportunity to learn from the very same people that I do.

    In fact, now that I've agreed to be a presenter, they've gone and practically made me the host of the thing. I'll be talking at two or three sessions for each of the three days of the conference, handing out very practical advice on starting and growing your online business.

    And that reminds me... the other idea I like about this Bootcamp is that it's not theoretical.

    When you spend time at Agora you'll hear them throw around this archaic German word a lot: erfahrung. It means "knowledge based on actual experience" (the opposite word is "wissen" meaning "knowledge learned from a book".)

    Translation: what they are talking about is providing the real stuff versus handing out a bunch of rehashed B.S. that you can get anywhere.

    If you'd like to come and hear what I have to say, and what a bunch of very smart guys from Agora have to say, about building a real Internet business, then you should check out this event (and I haven't even mentioned the other presenters, but you can find out all about this incredible event by following the url below).

    These are some VERY sharp and VERY gracious guys. You will learn a TON as they walk you, step by step, through building a real Internet business.

    But here's the problem. I'm sending you this letter WAY late in the game.

    They've got room for exactly 200 entrepreneurs like you who are serious about building your business. The bad news is that as of today something like 188 of the seats are already sold, and there's no more room at the hotel. So when the next 12 are gone, that's it.

    If you come to this conference, youvll get your own personal marketing plan for creating an online income stream that could make between $100 thousand and $100 million a year, based on Agora's proven model. You'll also get a sneak preview of my latest ideas on making that business faster and easier to build than you could ever imagine.

    Do this. Take a look right now at your current job and abilities, and ask yourself,

    "Where do I want to be in three to five years?"

    "What kind of work do I want to be doing?"

    "What kind of money do I want to be earning?"

    "What part of the country do I want to be living in?"

    If your answers involve complete financial freedom, working in a new career you love, having the time to travel and enjoy your family life ... then come to this event in October.

    My friends at Agora and Early to Rise have taken the art of making money on the Internet and turned it into a science. An easy-to-understand and easy-to-copy science. You would be well advised to come and listen to what they have to say.
