SUNDAY, JULY 8, SAN DIEGO
Our mentor, Tom Antion, is presenting his "infamous" Electronic Marketing ButtCamp (where you learn to make bucks while sitting on your rear end in front of your computer) July 8th in San Diego. This is the day before the National Speakers Association convention.

Tom has done these extensive one day Internet camps all over the world and he guarantees you a fantastic day that will open your eyes to the Internet riches that await you.

In addition to being in Tom Antion's mentor program, we have attended two of these "buttcamps" and we get a ton of new, do-able information that helps boost our business every time.

PLUS...

Graduates get to attend all regular ButtCamps forever with no more registration fees.

Check out all the details for the San Diego ButtCamp. This one looks like the best one ever.

Patsi and I will be there. We were honored to be asked by Tom to do the presentation on blogs.

We'd love to meet you there.

This is very cool. I've been invited to participate on a panel for a live webcast for Wells Fargo Bank's small business customers. The theme is Technology for Your Business and I'm going to talk about technology trends and Internet marketing, like using blogs and podcasting.

The live webcast is scheduled for August 15 so stay tuned for details. Viewers will be able to ask questions of the panel during the live show. Other topics will be: how to find IT help, creating a technology roadmap, and how to cut technology costs.
