Back from 5 Days in July

Hello and welcome. If you\'re a first time visitor here, make sure you sign up to win our monthly brownie giveaway.

I was in Denver all last week for an amazing internet marketing conference.

Last year, I was asked to be a coach for Agora Publishing’s ETR (Early to Rise) group at their 5 Days in July Internet Marketing conference.

If you’re not familiar with Agora, they are headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland and have quite a few divisions of online publishing for investments… real estate, health and in the last few years, internet marketing.

5 Days in July is a very intense and amazing week, in which we take people with no or very little online experience and show them how to build an online business.

Their website building software of choice is Xsitepro, and that is how they found me.

It’s just an amazing week. There are attendees there literally from all corners of the globe. Last year, there was someone from Egypt, this year there were people from Australia and Japan.

ETR does millions of dollars of business online in selling information products and their list is in the hundreds of thousands, so I was absolutely thrilled when they asked me to come back to be a coach again this year.

The days are very intense and long, but the contacts you make at an event like this will be priceless in the long run.

You definitely get to know quite a few people during the week. Last year I met and talked with Jeff Walker (from Product Launch Formula) and this year, the guest speaker was Alex Mandossian who
is known for his Teleseminar Secrets.

I’m not an “internet marketing guru” follower, but I have to say, both gentlemen were really quite down to earth and very transparent.

Online marketing, building your list and traffic are important for customer acquisition is important, but you absolutely have to stand out in the sea of businesses. You HAVE to take the next step once you have a new customer. It’s that “After the Sale” when you harness the power of appreciation, and building long-term relationships, you will soar above your competition.

It will be crucial in determining your success.
