I’m here! Yes, I know it’s like 4 days early, but I left the cold and damp weather of Northern California for the sunny and warm weather of San Deigo, and I type this by the pool of the Hotel …

The List Control seminar is fully booked from the people whom plunked down the 2k for the List Control course. I was not able to even secure an extra ticket for my employees or girlfriend, according to support (and yes, I offered to actually simply pay for them, and was … denied). That was really disappointing, as I had hoped to bring some employees along, and let them relish in the party and learning atmosphere of it all. This conference will definitely be full, and I’m hopeful the attendees will be first rate.

Like most conferences and seminars, this one offers me a chance to get away, live like a king for a week, and ideally, make serious business progress. As I explained to a friend, I typically work in spurts, setting up automated internet businesses in a very small time frame, and then moving on quickly. It’s not that I’m lazy (we know by know, I’m quite the opposite), but I do have a short and quick attention span, and I realize for me to implement anything, it has to be done immediately, and completed fully, within a short time frame (typically three weeks).

We received the schedule, and Frank termed is a weekend of debauchery, cleverly disguised as a conference. I have a feeling it’s going to be a great experience. These conferences always seem to energize me, and leave me with, at best, a new business, and at worst, a solid promotional strategy.

I’m a solid internet marketing kool aid drinker of many years, and I have drank Frank’s kool aid, as I have ingested many others. However, over a decade myself, as an underground full time internet marketing guru has left my vision a little clearer than most, which is to say; even though I have ingested the kool aid, and signed up for the program, I think I can really offer a clear vision of what the average person will really get out of both the course, and the seminar. I look forward to sharing that opinion with you, after the seminar.

My equipment list for this seminar includes, the 3G Ipad, Macbook Pro (13), Iphone, Blackberry, and backup Thinkpad (because I still use Frontpage for some websites). I’m a veritable walking electronics store, but I am prepared, and eager to find out what’s in store for the week.

I’d love to connect with people similarly down for the List Control seminar, or holdovers from the Ed Dale Coming Home event … drop me a line, info@marketingcrazy.com.

The day after Underground Seminar, List Control video four closes me.  It wasn’t the first three videos, nor the software (which I’d been using for years), but it was video 4. That did it. Damn, it was good. I’m ready to purchase …

Now, let me first state. I’m not promoting the course. I may buy it for myself, but I am not posting my affiliate link, nor am I trying to pitch you on it. It’s 2k - and for many, that’s simply a crazy amount of money (see below though). However, I thought I’d share with people the fact that, yes, I’m going to do it.

My greatest fear is that I already know everything there is to know about list building. However, the desire to continue learning, and perhaps, find things that have eluded me in my ten plus years, or simply to keep myself involved, is enough for me to pull the trigger and get the course.

It will be the first internet course this year, and likely the only course I get. However, to be honest, the other main selling point was the event in San Diego. I love San Diego, and having an excuse to go down there and party - well, that’s was a major selling point for me. I tend to learn a lot at conferences, as my last three posts have probably affirmed, so the chance to go to one more this year, and learn three more essential skills of internet marketing, was too good to pass up.

In truth, 2k is nothing. I don’t mean to belittle the cost, however, compared to a single year in school, or any other training program which teaches you how to make money, or actively “do” just about anything, it’s really fairly typical. In the internet marketing world, it’s considered a lot. In the Stanford, or even UC Berkeley world of real life education, its’ a drop in the bucket. It’s hard to say which one is more valuable in life, however, it’s easy to say which one will likely net your more immediate income.

Frank’s product is at http://www.listcontrolsite.com, and that’s a straight link (no affiliate stuff). If you get the course, please let me know, as I’d like to have people to compare notes with. My single fear is that there will be nothing new for me here, and in essence, it will take my TIME away from me (which is by far my greatest asset).

If you are purchasing, do a search of the warrior forum to see if any bonus offers appeal to you. I think most are horrible, as they are even more time draining (offering more courses, or added bits and pieces that take more of your time). That being said, Jeff Johnson’s might be ok, and I may purchase through his link (for the ability to have his team build me a site “their way”). Not sure I believe that, but I’ll give it a fair shake.

This boils down to me feeling that I’m moving forward, becoming more involved, investing in my education, after my years of travel, I want my playtime to be over. I want to be invested in something. Houses, cars, hotels, spas, they’re all great - but I’m over it (almost … I think …). I won’t do it at the expense of wasting my time however, so if the course doesn’t deliver, you can expect to hear about it.

Hope You Join me! List Control …
