Here’s the video footage taken from behind closed doors in the Skyloft at the MGM Grand in Vega, where Jeff Walker hosted the Product Launch Formula top partners networking event. Look for 30 second interviews with Brian Clark, Tom Beal and Michael Cheney, along with scenes from inside the Skyloft.

Back in February I received the fantastic news that I had just scrapped in as a top 25 affiliate for the release of Product Launch Formula (PLF) 2.0 by Jeff Walker (again, a really big thanks to everyone currently studying PLF who purchased through me and I hope you are enjoying the iRiver bonus I sent too!).

Jeff and his brother Jon decided to run a party/networking/mastermind event only for the top affiliates and this was the first time I qualified for such an invitation-only event. I was very excited at the prospect of meeting many of the guys I follow and look to as mentors in the Internet marketing world.

Prior to this event I had only been to one Internet marketing conference, Rich Schefren’s Strategic Profits seminar held February 2007 in Florida. There I met Rich and Mike Filsaime and many people like me, running Internet businesses. I had spoken to Jeff and Jon Walker on teleconference calls and through Skype, but this was my first face-to-face meeting.

Besides Rich, Mike, Jeff and John, I was excited to see that Brian Clark from Copyblogger.com would be coming too (the only other “pure” blogger) as well as Tom Ham, Tom Beal, Colette Marshall, Willie Crawford, Jeff Dedrick, Michael Cheney, John Carlton, Shawn Casey, Ray Edwards, Howie Schwartz and more experts from the Internet marketing world. My only disappointment was that Frank Kern was not making the trip down to Vegas as I’d really like to meet my fellow long haired Internet marketer.

The event started at 1pm and included an afternoon in a Skyloft, which is an uber-expensive ($1,000 a night) apartment style hotel room in the MGM Grand hotel on the Vegas Strip and concluded with dinner at Craftsteak, a fancy steak restaurant located inside the hotel.

I left my hotel room and went down to the VIP area where they have special private elevators to access the Skylofts and immediately bumped into Rich Schefren who was chatting to Colette Marshall, whom I had never met. Rich introduced me and we chatted briefly until Michael Cheney showed up. By then it was nearly 1pm so we headed upstairs to the Skyloft.

Jeff and Jon Walker greeted us at the door and gave us a tour around the Skyloft before we joined the main crowd that had already arrived. I started shaking hands with people I knew, some I didn’t know and some I didn’t realize I did know (don’t you hate it when someone’s Twitter profile photo doesn’t quite match their real life face - Hi Brian!).

Anik Singal and I are doing an interview call this Thursday the 24th at 8 PM ET. The topic is blogging, however Anik has a few unusual questions lined up so I don’t think this interview will be quite like any of the interviews I have done so far.

Here’s a sample of the topics we will dive into -

• How To Start Out Your Blog
• How To Drive Traffic
• Is It Worth Paying For Traffic?
• What Are The Best Tools For Traffic In The Beginning
• How To Build Over 25,000 subscribers

It’s 100% content and all about building a popular and profitable blog. If you like blogging and you like my training materials on the subject, you will enjoy this call.

A downloadable recording of the call will be available post interview.

Here is the link with details -

Blog Classroom

Anik and well known affiliate marketer Rosalind Gardner are launching a blog training program called Blog Classroom and my interview is part of the lead-up to the release of the course on April 29th.

I haven’t had a chance to take a look inside Blog Classroom because I’m in Fiji, but I can tell you one thing - Anik is VERY excited about blogging.

There’s currently a popular pre-course running that is completely free, so if you are curious and have an insatiable appetite for blog training resources, Blog Classroom is worth investigating.

You can take the free pre-course by signing up at the same page with details about my interview -

Let me know what you think of the course if you decide to join.

I’m not entirely sure what Andy is going to ask me about, but I expect it has a lot to do with how to become a professional blogger :-). Jim Kukral and Chris Garrett have already been featured in interviews for this series.

Two weeks after Andy does an interview with an expert, he also does a mastermind conference call with everyone who subscribed so you can focus on implementing what you learned.

I look forward to talking to everyone who makes the call!

My friend Will Swayne is running a free teleseminar on Tuesday 19th June, 12 noon - 1pm AEST (that’s Aussie time!), which I have the pleasure of co-hosting (really I’m just there to crack bad jokes now and then in-between all the wisdom he dishes out).

Will has slowly become an expert at online conversion and it’s quite clear that online sales process optimization really floats his boat. He just loves testing website elements to improve conversion rates and works every day to help other businesses improve their online sales process.

He’s taken what he has learned through real world testing on some pretty major websites and come up with what he considers the top 7 strategies for accelerating the online sales of any business.

You can get his free whitepaper on the topic now and study it in preparation for the teleseminar next week.

To get the call-in details for the seminar you can opt-in on this page -

Note you don’t have to be an Aussie to participate in this call and in fact we are using an American teleconference line to facilitate the seminar, so it will be a local call for those lucky people in North America. An MP3 recording of the call will be circulated via email to the people who signed-up, so you have to opt-in if you want it.

I look forward to having you on the call with me and Will!
