Last month I went into New York City for a 30 Day Challenge meet-up. It was a fun way to get together with other 30DCers to network and get to know each other. One of the drawbacks to working online is the solitary aspect of it. You are usually the only one doing you know marketing online, and it can be tough finding anyone to talk to about this thing we do.

It was fun & I had a great time. One of the benefits of this meet-up was Ed Dale was going to be there. It was an added benefit. This was my 2nd year with the 30DC and getting the opportunity to meet the founder of the challenge was too much to pass up.

Ed of course can found at the Thirty Day Challenge. He also has a blog, which is a great study in brand marketing at Tubby Nerd.

Now, the big surprise was Ed had arrange for a special guest to show up to the meet-up. He happen to be traveling in the US, and was in New York City that night. It was none other than Yaro Starak.

This was exciting for me because Yaro was the 1st blogger I started following. I used his Blog Profits Blueprint to set up my 1st blog. So, it was cool to get to meet who was so instrumental in my blogging. You can find Yaro at his blog Entrepreneurs Journey, and if you opt-in to his email list you can get a copy of the Blog Profits Blueprint.

Two things to take away from this post…

1. Get out to these networking meetings - It’s fun to be around like minded people, and to socialize. You would be surprised who you might meet.

2. Make sure to bring your camera - I use to not take my camera, and missed out on some opportunities to get my picture taken with some of these folks.

Hope to see you around at some future seminars or meet-ups.

I know this is last minute, but I thought it was important. You may or may not have heard of Matt Furey, but he is considered the best email marketer around. He is known for his writing & copywriting skill. He got his start not in the make money online niche, but in the exercise niche.

I’ve been on Matt’s list for years, and it is some great marketing. A special thanks to Ben Settle from the Copywriting Grab Bag for tweeting this, or I might have missed it.

Tonight Harlan Kilstein is holding a teleseminar with Matt Furey. The subject will be email marketing, and it will have great content. I plan on calling in to listen because Matt rarely does stuff like this.

Here is the link to the announcement The King Of Email Speaks. Here are the details for tonight’s call…

I’m running a teleseminar with a reclusive genius.

I say reclusive because he almost never speaks in public
(outside of his high priced mentoring group.)

He generally doesn’t get on the phone doing teleseminars either.

I refer to him as the King of Email.

He makes over $1,000,000 a month - most of it driven by email.

And I’m going to have him go over two emails with you that he
has written.

You will be shocked by the content and the call.

I urge you to set aside Tuesday, September 23 at 8PM
for the call.

Here’s the number to call in:

507-726-3200 the Pin code is 66249#

Oh, his name….

Matt Furey.

It’s going to be amazing.

Be there.

Be online early.

Peace.

Harlan

If you want to see some awesome email marketing head on over to his blog and join his email list… you will not be disappointed. Here is the link to Matt Furey Uncensored.

Right now as of today you can download a copy of the Fall 2008 issue of Matt Furey’s Mastermind Magazine. It has some ads he wrote, and would make a great addition to anyones swipe file. Not sure how long it will be up, so you should hop over there fast. Matt has a reputation of only leaving stuff like this up for a short time.

Have you ever wanted to become a freelance copywriter?

Maybe… maybe not. If so and you haven’t taken the plunge, then what’s holding you back? Could some of these things be:

* You aren’t sure where to find clients?
* How do you market yourself?
* How do you sell yourself once you get a prospect?
* What do you charge for each project?

Well, Ryan Healy & John Anghelache are putting a very extensive coaching program geared towards becoming a successful, “booked solid” copywriter.

I’ve watched the videos and listened to the audios they’ve put out this past couple weeks. I can say I’ve picked up some powerful strategies to put into my marketing mix.

So, if you’re at all interested in becoming a freelance copywriter I’d suggest you take a look at this one. A word of warning here… this is for people who can already write copy. The program will be teaching you how to get clients, not teaching how to write copy.

(If you are looking for training to learn copywriting, then this is not for you. There are plenty of copywriting courses on the market. Including one I blogged about back in April entitled How To Get Trevor Crook’s Copywriting Secrets for Free… )

Now believe it or not, but Ryan & John are holding a contest giving away one free spot in their coaching program. They haven’t mention how much the program is going to cost… But I two weeks ago I was on the phone with an inside source, and he told me what they are planning on charging. I promised not to tell, but I can say it looks like it’ll be worth several thousand dollars to whoever wins.

You can check out how to enter the contest at Ryan’s blog: http://www.ryanhealy.com/copywriting-coaching-program-contest/ This is not an affiliate link… it’s a direct link to his blog.

If you want an affiliate link, here’s mine: http://www.copywritingcode.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=104. Feel free to go there & sign up. As a side note in an audio call between Ryan & John they’re discussing the details about the coaching program & Ryan mentions me by name. You know it’s weird listening to a call, and suddenly hear them talking about you.

Anyhow… Why not take 10 minutes to enter right now? It’s fast, easy, and free. And the potential pay-off is huge. Here are the contest details again: http://www.ryanhealy.com/copywriting-coaching-program-contest/

Sorry, one more thing. The deadline for the contest is Saturday, July 19th, 2008 at 12 noon Mountain time.
