Several Years ago as a result of my appearance as a contestant in The Next Internet Millionaire Online Virtual Reality Competion, I had the pleasure of meeting online a fabulous , caring woman by the name of Joanie Winberg. She and I hit bit off immediately as a result of our shared passion for helping women and their families.

The byproduct of that experience was that I was determined to create programs for women, by women. Two years ago, that was a bit hard to do, as men were by far the majority of those on the internet.

I’m THRILLED that there are far more women providing important and valuable solutions for women online TODAY!

One of those launches tomorrow, September 9th, 2009 and I’m thrilled to be part of a team of 5 experts coming together to provide solutions and support for Single Women, Single Again Women, Single Moms and Widows!

As a result of the feedback we’ve gotten from thousands of women, especially single moms, if that they don’t have time to spare. We heard them loud and clear, so put together an affordable program that will take only 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week in the convenience of their own homes or offices, that will provide information, advice, tips and resources (as well as free bonuses and a community of like minded women) in 5 major areas of their lives!

It’s cutting edge in delivery…5 minute or less videos wher women will actually get to see and hear each of us as we educate, inspire, motivate and support women who say “Single Again? Now What?

How about some support??? Will you give me a “High 5″ to that?

Obviously it’s something that has to do with thin air, but what?

Take your best shot with this multiple choice quiz:

A. Spiritual gurus on a mountain summit manifesting cool things out of thin air?

B. Altitude sickness sufferers collectively test a new inhaler that works in the thin air of the mountains?

C. Experienced climbers gather to brainstorm ways to lessen the affects of thin air in order to reach the summit?

D. None of the above.

Trick question, actually, because it’s a bit of all three …

But before you continue reading the article, I would LOVE to hear YOUR first guess as to what is a Thin Air Summit? Come on, be creative! Could be fun.

In truth, The Thin Air Summit is the evolutionary outcome of an eclectic group of new media enthusiasts originally coming together to plan a “Podcamp.” But just as new technology and media morphs at the speed of light, so has the nature of this event , scheduled to happen in November 2008 in (drum roll please…) DENVER, COLORADO (Thin Air…get it?)

So what is a Podcamp? How is it different than a “New Media Conference”?A PodCamp is a usually a free “BarCamp-style” community UnConference (which just means an “unorganized conference,” shortened to the word UnConference.) for new media enthusiasts and professionals including bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, social networkers, and ANYONE curious about new media.

A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering of people born from the desire of each to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.

The first PodCamp was held September 8-10, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts. They’re now being held regularly all over the world, so they’ve proven to be quite popular events.

PodCamps aren’t just about podcasting.(I know…this gets confusing, with alll these new terms, so bare with me).If you’re interested in blogging, social media, social networking, podcasting, video on the net, audio, or you’re just curious about new media and how you can use it in YOUR endeavors, you definately want get involved.

If you’re eyes glazed over when you read those terms, it’s OK, you aren’t alone. 

You just haven’t read up on some of my other articles or watched my videos yet. It’s all there in short and simple, easy to understand articles. Hey, It’s important to your future success, especially if you run a  business or compete for donation dollars.

Then when you feel a bit more confident and don’t want to sit on the sidelines any more, please join in.

When Patti Serrano invited me to join her in crashing the Denver party and after a couple of “meetups” I’ve met some very “media savvy” men and women who will become incredible resources for me, as well as those I serve.

OK, so what makes the Thin Air Summit different than a Podcamp is that it has morphed into a “real conference” as opposed to an “Unconference” (an “unplanned” conference is now been shortened to the word: Unconference).

In other words , it IS an organized event  which will include experts in their fields to give primarily EDUCATIONAL presentations divided up into 3 different tracks: text, audio and video . The individual sessions will provide practical information relevant to creating better content in that particular medium.

They’re also planning some panel discussions. The panels will bring all three tracks together and be focused on new media topics that are relevant to all - both the practical, such as monetization, and the philosophical, such as “What is New Media and Why is it Important”.

So what’s in it for GutZy Women (or Brave Men ) like you?

Many of you might experience a fear or frustration when it comes to technology and multimedia marketing. The first step to getting over it is education. The next step is taking what you have learned and implementing it.

Sometimes, we need a little handholding, mentoring, inspiration and support in actually taking the action necessary to move forward.

The Thin Air Summit will be an UNBELIEVABLY VALUABLE place to be to learn, be inspired, connect, ask for help and the price is definitely right…LIKE FREE?

If the organizers hear from you powerful women and Enlightened Men out there who believe it’s important to include a greatly diverse bunch of qualified presenters, If you DO feel that way, there just might be a good showing of well qualified women speakers on stage at the event.

So forget all those expensive, overdone conferences that make your cash vanish into Thin Air! Rise to the Summit challenge. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone even if you feel it’s going to be too “techie” for you.

Events like this are a great opportunity to network with people who can teach you, mentor you and learn from you as well. As a matter of fact, the organizers are now in the process of looking for great presenters. Maybe you’re one?

^{In the mean time, what’s  your version of what the Thin Air Summit could be? Let’s hear your ideas in the comments down below… (Let’s keep it clean, OK?)}

1.  Become an affiliate of those who are selling products on the giveaway. For example: on the Chet Holmes Giveaway, in order to get into it as a recipient of the free gifts, you must buy Chet’s book or Amanda’s CD.  So if I am an affiliate of Amazon.com and I send you to Amazon to buy, when you do so, I make a percentage of that. In the case of Wonderful Web Women, as an affiliate, if I get you to come to the giveaway and like what Janet has to offer in her Gold Membership and you join, I get a commission.  YOU can do the same.

2. Once you get new people to subscribe, you can promote your products or services for them to buy, through email campaigns and relationship building activities. 

3. After people subscribe, but before they reach your gift page, you can make them a onetime offer, but if you do this, be sure to give them the option to pass and to be able to download the free gift after they buy 

4. When you send them the Thank You page or email once they have retrieved their gift, you can offer them either the same product at a lower price or offer a brand new product. 

5. You can follow up with a series of automatic messages with valuable tips and information without actually making them an offer, but the intent to build relationships. Once they learn who you are and how great your products are, they will naturally want to buy from you. 

6. Co-promote with JV Partners in the Giveaway itself, like I did with the GutZy Women International Mastermind Alliance. Be sure to become an affiliate of theirs and send traffic their way using your affiliate link.  

7. Run a Giveaway yourself: offer dollar incentives to contributors to upgrade their positioning on the pages of the giveaway. Get them to promote the product offered for sale by you in an affiliate arrangement. Offer services like consulting or webmastering to help your contributors who don’t have the time or skills or desire to do the work themselves.  

These are just a few ideas you can use to make money while giving your product or services away. We would LOVE to hear more ideas from you if you have experienced success at using them in giveaway events!  

In the meantime, check out the Chet and Amanda Holmes Giveaway still in full swing Tracy Repchuk, Diane Corriette, Joanie Winberg, Patti Serrano, Hayley Solich and myself have some great stuff for you FREE, but you won’t believe the QUALITY of people who are taking part in this one.

Relativity Syndication CO-OP Economic Relief Package

Last October I became a Beta tester for Relativity’s syndication co-op which leverages the capabilities of Web 2.0 and social media to exponentially increase visitors  to my websites as well as blast out my content to the online world.I have been amazed by the results and have personally offered this system to those I felt had the kind of content that was top quality. And even though It was well worth the initial investment, most of the people I approached just couldn’t afford it right now.

Check out the article on my GutZy Women Website to discover what I’m talking about in detail.If you decide you want to hop aboard this fast moving train, and you qualify, please notify me once you submit your paid application.

Feel free to ask me or David questions (but please ONLY after you have read the offer and watched the video).

This syndication program so fits with GutZy Women’s mission to educate and support women (and Enlightened Men) in getting their messages out into the world and increasing their presence online! But I’m afraid the spots will fill up quicklybecause the money barrier has been removed for a short time.

This is NOT for everybody, but if your online content is GREAT, you owe it to yourself to get in!

Here’s Relativity’s RELIEF MESSAGE:

 My previous article set the stage for when good intentions aren’t God’s intentions and how the universe knows better than we do.

It was a beautiful day and Nathan Anderson, founder of SEO Club, lives around one of the most beautiful spots in the world! He invited me at the last minute to join him for his first “public” Vidcast on his back deck overlooking an amazing setting of Red Rock, Green Cedars and Blue Sky.

This was going to be FUN! It’s why I LOVE Web 2.0 and I was really looking forward to it! But as it is often said…”Easier Said than Done”.

One has to accept the fact that the only way people can take part in an event such as Nathan was holding, is to have a working connection to the Internet from such a remote location as North Creek Road in Beulah,Colorado, which normally isn’t a problem… except for today. 

Not to worry! To make a living at Internet marketing in such a place, one must also have backup, in case the initial connection dies for reasons beyond your control (like the service provider screws up).  

The Verizon PC card to the rescue, or so we thought. We jumped in my convertible and headed to the highest spot on the mountain that Nathan knew of to get a signal. YAY…we got connected, to the internet that is. But to no avail when some sort of conflict appeared with how the PC card worked with the software Ustream uses to broadcast live.  

DRAT! Foiled again. 

Like two little puppy dogs with our tails between our legs, we headed back to the ranch.

Bummer Dudes & Dudettes!

Feeling bad about the 8,000 people Nathan invited, especially for his first SEO Club live public broadcast, he gave in to the forces that be and accepted the fact that at least he was able to send word of what happened to a friend from our mountain top…to inform those on his list. 

“So what did this all mean, Universe?”, I was saying to myself on my drive back to my office to write my daily blog. And the Universe answered back, “Another chance, my dear Deb, on another day.”  

And so it was and so it shall be… 

NEXT WEEK as a matter of fact, is our second chance…OURS and YOURS! Why yours, you might ask? 

Cuz, you didn’t even know about this FUN & FABULOUS event before…

and now YOU DO!

COME JOIN US! LIVE! 

SEO Club with Nathan Anderson presents… SEO Club Live!

Every Friday at 4pm Eastern.
(That’s 3pm Central, 2pm Mountain, or 1pm Pacific)
Broadcasting live from the Wet Mountains of Southern Colorado.

We’re going to have FUN. The more the merrier, I always say!

(Oh, I just realized another gift I got from this day! I mean, what could I have written about on my blog today that would have had such an ENLIGHTENING message, if everything would have worked out as originally planned? The universe is truly amazing, is it not? Be in the NOW and truly LIVE!)
