Have you heard the “buzz” yet about the world’s first Passion into Profits Challenge designed by my friend and colleague, Janet Beckers of Wonderful Web Women?
It started of with a bang on a live Teleclass and it’s already spreading like wild fire across the internet….

Just take a look at this short “Animoto”  video I had fun making ( you can too - one of the fun and free tools I use!) where Janet and I met on a beautiful beach in Australia and we just couldn’t shut up about OUR PASSION of helping women just like you)  :)

I’m taking part because ss part of the Challenge we will discover:
• How to create our info products in 59 minutes or less…
• How to name our product so people eagerly want to buy it from us
• A 7 step plan of what to say in our product to get people motivated into ACTION.


(Having this 7 step plan makes it so much easier to create great content– it really takes all ‘The guesswork’ and heart ache out of it. We LOVE easy and quick, don’t we girls) ;)


And much more…


As I write this post, PASSIONATE PEOPLE  from across the world are racing out to create their own info products. (There are great prizes you can win for just for playing the game)

They will then be able to promote their products onto a blog for 1000’s to see - this could drive traffic to your site, and lead to new JV opportunities. And the best part is -it doesn’t cost a cent.

PLUS: For my GutZy Women, by clicking  through the link on my page here (yes, I am an affiliate for Janet and proud of it!) you can get DOUBLE EXPOSURE because I will list the product you create during the challenge on one of my blogs as well! So you’ll can get double the hits!

What the Heck is a Thin Air Summit? How About if You Tell Us.

Add to Technorati Favorites

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?)

11 Steps to Successful List Building and Increased Visibility using Giveaway Events - Part 2

Add to Technorati Favorites

If you have taken part as a recipient of any FREE products or services as a result of an online GIVEAWAY EVENT, then obviously you saw some value in agreeing to give out your name and email address in exchange. Thousands and perhaps millions of other people have done same and rightly so!

In one shot, without spending tons of valuable time and energy, you get incredibly informative and valuable stuff for FREE…all in one place.

Sure, our privacy is important to us, and while we’re NOT open to just ANYTHING, we like to get stuff we can really use for free, right? “The price was right”, we like to say.

Once we recieve it and check it out, we’re either thrilled with it or sadly disappointed. If we’re thrilled, aren’t we going to follow that person or company in the future to look for more good stuff? Hey, maybe we’ll even spring a few dollars next time because now we know what the contributor is about and we like what we see.

Well, that’s the basic premise behind GIVEAWAYS and why they are so popular, as well as why software developers are creating software programs to run them and why internet marketers are getting the word out.

In my previous article, I outlined the first 6 steps for how Free Giveaway Events actually work because they can be a bit confusing, and NOT just for “newbies”. Here’s the rest of the story:

7. On the contributor’s end, they must have a way to capture their visitor’s information as well. Although the giveaway link can send them to an email message to be sent off to the contributor, the best way in the long run is to set up an auto-responder system that automatically send the information from the capture form the visitor filled out to a database. An autoresponder then sends an immediate email message back to the visitor.

8. If it is a “double opt-in” system, the visitor will get a “confirmation email” with a link they click on to “OK” their subscription. This option is designed to verify that visitor does in fact want the gift and further contact from the contributor and reduces the risk of getting slapped for Spamming.

If they don’t “confirm”, the visitor doesn’t get the free gift. If they DO confirm, they are then taken to the page where they can collect or download their gift OR they are sent a second “Thank You” email that contains a link to the giveaway item(s) as well as other information that is needed to collect. This email very often includes other links to websites or other products they can buy. (This is a great way to “monetize” the promotion.)
