Just a quick heads-up…

I’ll be attending Ken McArthur’s JV Alert Live as a panelist on September 24, 25, and 26, 2010.

The seminar is being held in Denver, a couple miles east of downtown.

I’ve never attended one of Ken McArthur’s events before, but from what I hear there is intense networking every day. Personally, I’m excited about this because networking at seminars is how I found my first copywriting clients.

It’s also how I met a business partner that led to a five-figure payday for both me and him. And that’s just one of the projects we’ve done together.

So I can personally say that seminars — especially those that have a strong focus on networking — have been a great investment for me.

But attending seminars is not just about the networking; it’s also about the education. At JV Alert Live, you’ll get to learn from marketing experts like Ken McArthur (obviously), Joel Comm, Ray Edwards, Glenn Dietzel, Frank Sousa, Simon Leung, and others.

If you have any interest in attending JV Alert Live (and meeting me in Denver), you can get additional details here.

Today (March 11, 2010), I gave a talk at a local Meetup group here in Denver. I talked for an hour about how to build your business by building your blog.

Overall, I think it went pretty well. Especially since it’s the first time I’ve spoken in public in more than 6 years. It’s been so long, I can’t even remember the year I last talked.

One thing that quickly became apparent is that it’s difficult to explain how to set up a WordPress blog on your own domain. And it’s hard to explain the concepts of themes, plugins, etc. to somebody who is not familiar with blogging.

If you’re just getting started, you’re certainly free to take the time to learn how WordPress works on your own. That’s what I did. There’s lots of free information at WordPress.org.

But if you’re short on time, and you’d rather have somebody else set up your blog for you, then you should hire my friend and business partner Ken Gary.

He can set up a new WordPress blog for you, install a theme, and even install a handful of plugins for you — all for just $200.

If you’re interested, here’s what to do.

Step #1: Go to Ken’s consulting page.

Step #2: Check the third box down, which is the one for two hours of consulting.

Step #3: Complete the order form and click Continue.

Once you complete this process, you’ll want to let Ken know your hosting account login details so he can login and install WordPress.

Ken will also need to know what theme you want installed, as well as the plugins you want installed. You can probably do that by email or a phone call, whichever you prefer. I’ll leave it to you to work out the details with Ken.

Anyway, I’d hate to see you put off starting your blog because of a lack of time or a lack of technical know-how. So if one of these things is holding you back, hire Ken to help you.

P.S. I just got off the phone with Ken, and he told me that you will also get access to his private WordPress training videos if you hire him to install your WordPress blog.

These videos show you how to use WordPress as a publishing platform, and are very helpful if you’re just starting out.Similar Posts:
