Daryl and Andrew Grant, who you might remember from my podcast interview with Daryl where she explains how they make over $250,000 a year selling ebooks online, which is still one of my most downloaded podcasts, are hosting a seminar this week for their coaching clients.
While I don’t intend to do the ebook business model that Andrew and Daryl use at the moment, I’m heading to the event because I’m always keen to network with fellow Internet marketers and potentially make some new friends and of course learn heaps from Andrew, Daryl and the other presenters. I also have free tickets and the event is in my hometown of Brisbane, so I can’t say no!
As always whenever I get a chance I’ll attempt to blog about the event and what I’m learning, but I expect the Broncos league club (Brisbane Rugby League team) where the event is held won’t have net access, so I will upload my articles when I get home in the evenings.
Rich Schefren Coaching Program
Rich Schefren’s Strategic Profits coaching program has opened doors briefly and once again closed. Thanks to those who joined the program via my link. I heard from a few of you, but not everyone has said hello, so if you did join Rich’s program and you found out about it via this blog please contact me so I know who you are and we can do the networking thing.

- Do you know Mark Joyner? He was called the godfather of Internet marketing at the World Internet Summit and needless to say, the guy has been online for a long time, although he doesn’t do the Internet market guru career anymore, instead he’s attempting to change the world starting with his Simpleology.
If you are interested in some deep thinking intellectual discussion, or perhaps cartoons are easier for you to understand, you will like Mark’s blog, which incidentally is the first high profile person I have seen make use of a .name extension. You can find his blog at MarkJoyner.name.
- I’ve intended to send out a link to AlleNation for a while, another young entrepreneur blogger dishing out the goods. Allen Heat talks a lot about blogging and making money from his blogs as he builds his network. I enjoy the tales from guys like Allen doing the hard work each day to get his business up and running, and I suspect you will too.
- The team over at Young Go Getter recently launched a new blog design and I must say, I like it! If you have a chance, go check out this great blog for young entrepreneurs, who have been long time supporters of my blog.
- Andy Beard is a well known search engine expert but I’ve come to admire his blogging style, which you can check out at AndyBeard.eu, more than anything else. He never does anything half way – every post he puts out there demonstrates his commitment to quality, which is something I admire in any blogger, or person for that matter.
- nPost.com now have a section for jobs in start-up companies. Most of the positions are in US based organiZations, so if you come from that part of the world and fancy working for a tech company, check out the nPost jobs page.

The panel was moderated by Guy Kawasaki.
Hi Yaro
Thanks for sharing my blog with your readers, though I think quite a few may have already found me, as I frequently see the same faces crop up in MyBlogLog and in your comments.
I don’t look on myself as a search engine expert.
The number one rule for marketers is to test and track everything, and I apply the same to things like SEO, and just write about the results I get, and try to work out why some things work that theoretically shouldn’t.
Many search engine experts actually fall into a trap of assuming that because one method of optimizing a site may provide good results, that that is the only way. Google however have so many variables they consider, sometimes a totally opposite approach can also work.
If you study the type of content I write, you will find that I have found a number of niches within Internet Marketing that no one else discusses. There are similar holes in almost any niche that can be exploited, and then enlarged, moving gradually into more mainstream areas.
I agree with you, Yaro, that Andy Beard does write some of the most in-depth articles I read on any blog.
Thanks for posting that video presentation. I’ve spent the past hour listening to it whilst working.
I work for Guy Kawasaki. Thanks for your comments about the panel he recently moderated as well as the link to his website!

Hey Andy – thanks for stopping buy. I realize you are more than just an SEO expert, perhaps I should have called you a search marketing expert?
Hi Mary-Louise – No problem about that link, just ask Guy if he would like to return the favor one day
Yaro
I am just another internet marketer or niche marketer or potentially Web 2.0 Entrepreneur.
One of my most effective niche marketing techniques has always been to write about similar subjects to everyone else, but from a different perspective.
Thanks for the love Yaro. YGG has always been a huge fan of Entrepreneur’s Journey and your web presence. Much appreciated.
Hi Yaro, love your blog, i’m at this seminar and will try and catch up with and try and get a pic you blogging celeb!
Hey Yaro, thanks for the kind words! We’re happy to make the cut
