"Incredibly Eye Catching NLP Headline That Will Have People Whipping Out Their Wallets"
Kidding!

Huge update...
Since closing off registrations, we've had some major updates with the expert speakers who'll be attending. Due to the quality of the speakers we've found a venue that can hold more people and reopened registrations. We've also decided that because it's so close to Christmas (and because getting all of these speakers in one room just doesn't happen), to offer a 3 installment payment plan to make the event more affordable for people.
So, not only has the quality of the speakers gotten even more insanely good, you can now pay for the seminar over 3 months at $349 a month (available until the 24th of January). Now that's a bargain!
"Who Else Is Coming?" I Hear You Ask.
Now the cool thing is that every speaker from Manchester will be coming to Melbourne. For the first time Dan Raine will be presenting in Australia (he came to Beechworth Over The Edge but that was a $5000 private seminar). Here are the rest of the speakers and VIP guests:
- Leslie Rhode of SEO BrainTrust. The man who was doing SEO before it was called SEO, the one speaker the team from Market Samurai and the LAB wanted to have at the conference agreed to come!
- Daniel Turner, Daniel Turner of AMA and in my view the most successful practitioners of outsourcing (along with his partner Mark Lindsay) has also agreed to speak and he is doing something brilliant. Everyone who signs-up for the conference will get his Outsourcing Secret's course for free (just recently on the market for $997).
- Kenny Goodman, who blew me away with his brilliant presentation on Dynamite domains will change your opinion on buying domains for ever. The tool he previewed at Manchester WILL change the way you buy domains.
- Eugene Ware and the rest of the Samurai Team will be there - You should have heard the gasps when Eugene showed exactly how to analyse how a Manchester attendee had lost her PR using Market Samurai and then proceeded to fix it on the spot!
- The team from FLIPPA.COM.
- Yaro Starak, one of Australia's most successful bloggers.
- James Schramko, who has made a big impact in the internet marketing world this year.
- and Lynn Terry, Ed's fellow co-presenter on Internet Marketing This Week, who hopefully will sit in on some hot seats and share some of her knowledge and experience.
In the past nine years, I have called two places home. The UK and Melbourne, Australia.
For some reason, these are the two places I have shafted the most when it comes to touring. It's been four years! since I did a seminar in the UK and THREE! since the infamous Underachiever Unplugged conference in Melbourne.
The reason for this is biblical...
For the Christians "You can't be a prophet in your home town."
For the Buddhists "Those who build the Buddha, cannot worship the Buddha."
Family and friends have an image burned into their heads of what you are...and what you do. That's not a fault, it's just that they remember you having five wagon wheels for lunch and carrying the entire Advanced Dungeons and Dragons rule book set into every class in high school in case you finished early...
Or was that just me...
I know there are people who make a stack load of money speaking from town to town, seminar to seminar, honing the same presentation to a razor pitch.
That's just not me.
For a start, I have a family that (incredibly) wants to see me occasionally AND I suck at selling stuff from the stage.
Plus, I have this thing that I like to have actually done what I'm talking about, apparently not an affliction hurting many on the circuit...
But you know what?
For the first time in a long time. I have got something to SAY.
I have a LOT to say....
With a bit of luck, I think you'll find it bloody useful.
First, is the way we work.
- How do we get motivated to move "the cursor to the right". To do what we need to do. How do we run our business, really run a business?
- How do you start (the hardest thing to do) - How do you follow through?
- I want to explore the practical side of Market Understanding to Market Leadership. I know this is starting to impact. I have so much still to say on HOW to do it.
- I want to tell you, face to face (so I can use mild force if necessary!!!) there are zero magic bullets, BUT there are incredible ways to LEVERAGE yourself that will make your hearts swell and Angels cry small tears of joy (Ok, getting carried away now...).
- I want to show you my iPhone.
Seriously.
I try to be modest about most things (which, given I am so crap at almost everything, comes very easily to me...), but when it comes to using this pocket device to run a business and lead markets...
I rule.
The thing is it's so easy, but I have to show you the darn thing (and given that both the UK and Australia are now competitive iPhone markets you can all get one!)
There is another reason i'm calling this the Coming Home 2 Tour. It's about me returning to the things I do well.
Buying and selling business, at the end of the day, is what I do.
At the end of 2006, I introduced the concept of buying and selling websites.
Fastforward three years and...
WOW.
I was talking to GuruBob about this on the way to Annabelle's swimming lesson. Two things have changed making Buying and Selling so much better now.
First thing, there is liquidity in the market place (that's a fancy way of saying there are plenty of people wanting to buy your website for the right price).
Second thing (and worthy of an entire post!), is at the end of 2006 if you advertised your site on one of the public selling platforms - you were basically opening the doors and saying "Hey Rip-off artists, come rape and pillage my site".
It was so easy in 2006 for these snakes of the Internet Marketing world to rip off your stuff.
In 2010...It's a way different story.
You see, rip-off artists are lazy and want shortcuts.
There is no such thing as short-cuts in an online business as we crash into 2010.
This is AWESOME.
A Couple Of Important Things....
- This conference will NOT BE RECORDED
- It will sell out. The Manchester conference sold out in two days. We limit the numbers because all of the speakers like to hang around at the breaks rather than scurry off to a "green room" to talk to you about your individual sites (again just ask a manchester participant on twitter...) To do this we need to keep the numbers down. Please, don't delay, this isn't a marketing tactic it's just the facts...
It's time to revisit buying and selling websites.
It's even time to revisit (GASP!) buying domain names!! (Long time followers know for the longest time I have thought this next to useless.)
Websites are the new (and in my opinion much better bet) real estate.
The third and final thing I'm good at (see it's a short list), is creating products.
There is something about watching this happen live that flicks a switch for people. It's one thing to watch a video, it's another thing to say "Hey Ed, How did you do that?" Right while I'm there.
It seems like it's a bunch of really excellent and varied topics.
It's this "going home" back to fundamentals approach I believe will have a massive impact, and is the single best thing I could possibly teach.
One little example, give me half an hour and I'll show you how to take photos ten times better than what you have been doing, and we will do the first ever Internet Marketing Photo walk to prove it. People are blown away when I show them how to do this.
And, as this little article point out - IMAGES - can be a fantastic traffic generator.
Now let's talk price.
DO WE HAVVVVVEEE TO?
Yep.I have never charged less than $5000 US Dollars to come to one of our multiday seminars.
You have to keep in mind, this is not a bunch of speakers pitching their latest product to you (I don't have a problem with that, it's just not my thing). I'll be teaching for three days the best stuff I know how. Showing you as I go along.
I have not taught in Europe in four years and the economic environment (in the UK in particular) has not been kind.
Some Bonuses For Signing Up Today.
If you sign before the 18th of December,
You will get access to:
- 1. Six months of Thirty Day Challenge Plus on us!
- 2. Access to the online edition of Dominiche - The Art of Buying and Selling websites (The buying and selling website game is going OFF right
now!! - At Manchester, people couldn't believe the type of deals that happened just over this past weekend!) - This is a two thousand dollar course that you cannot buy anywhere, it's not for sale. - 3. The entire Ultra Underachiever digital archive - every newsletter that Frank Kern and I ever did - and there is some solid gold in there!
- 4. Three Post conference teleseminars to help answer any questions you have after the event
- 5. Just so you know what to expect at the Aussie Coming Home seminar, we will give you access to what will go down in internet history as the infamous MONKEY session. This Manchester hot seat session beggars belief. I guarantee you will be stunned
- 6. The recording of the "Starting From Scratch" presentation of Ed's from the Manchester event, which got a great reception. The session outlined starting out if you had time but not the money to get started right now.
Ed, what's the price?
For the next few days you can get the early bird price of $997 (No, I didn't mean to type $9,970), as well as our new 3 installment payment plan of $349 per month which will be available until the 18th of December.
I have to charge something and as Australians make up a good percentage of the thirty day challenge family, this is my way of saying thank you.
I have never done three days before Manchester, but I have a LOT to say! I'm hoping to have a lot of the Thirty Day Challenge gang along as well.
People who have been to our stuff know that we are not the "present, and go and hide in our rooms so we don't have to speak to anyone" crowd. Again, not our style.
Unlike our "Over The Edge" series, this seminar will be fantastic for starters as well as the more advanced. Like I said, buying and selling websites might just be the ultimate way to start getting in some cash.
That's what they call a deal.
Of course, the event is guaranteed, if you're not happy with the way things are going after day 1, come and see one of the team and we will issue you a full refund. Let's keep it really simple.
Dates - Lock in the 19th, 20th and 21st of February, 2010 right now.
Going Home...Making all of this stuff really work (and hopefully prove that it's all connected, it's all fun)
Three days and nights of Awesome.
This is your chance at a price that you won't see again.
Join me in Melbourne in February.
