A "Must Attend" Seminar

Those of you that know me know that I stopped doing land-based seminars years ago in favor of only doing seminars on cruise ships. I just got tired of the conventions, meetings and travel involved. Well, for the first time in several years, I have agreed to speak at the upcoming Cruise-a-thon in Seattle, WA on June 1-4, 2007. I am going to share how I turned a hobby website into a money machine churning out a six-figure income and then sold it for a huge amount of money. I am doing this to honor Joel and Lenore Abels and I guarantee you that if you see yourself making money on the web, this seminar will show you the way. Here is the title and a brief description.

"How to Turn Your Website
 into a Money Machine"

Exploring Alternative Revenue Streams (Rivers). Understanding Affiliate Opportunities. Understanding the Power of Community. Content, Content, Content. Exploding Your Site with PPC. Maximizing Conversion Ratios. Optimizing Landing Pages and PPC Revenues and Many More Electrifying Income Producing Strategies.

"This seminar is not for the faint of heart. If you want to make a six-figure income, this seminar will show you how. Knowledge of building websites is mandatory. Do not attend unless you are serious about the web and making lots of money." In order to attend this seminar you must be registered for the Cruise-a-thon Trade Show in Seattle, Washington, June 1-4, 2007. Follow the link below for more registration information.

Just for fun, here is a copy of just one of my affiliate revenue reports for the month of January, 2006. I sold these websites on February 1st, 2006 and after a year of mum, can now just talk about it.
