Hi Friends, good to be back with you…

If you’ve been following the marketing for John Carlton’s upcoming “Action Seminar”, you may have intermittently excited and confused about what exactly the event will be like, and if it’s for you.

So, I’m here to answer some questions I’ve been getting from colleagues… and also offer you a big bonus for attending as my special guest.

(Sorry about the short notice. I wanted to make sure every detail was set firmly in stone before I told you about this.)

First, here are the most important things you should know about the event…

• This is NOT a pitchfest!

If you’ve ever been to a Carlton event, you know he is keeping the Gary Halbert seminar model (which he helped invent) alive and well.

That means: No multiple speaker formats (where a slow parade of gurus spend 45 minutes cramming product down your throat.)

Instead, you get 2 full days of intensely focused brainstorming from the top experts in marketing today.

Seriously, when you see who’s coming to this thing, you’ll understand what the fuss is all about.

And when you realize you’ll be locked in a room with them and a select group of savvy biz owners, it get’s really exciting.

• Nothing will be held back.

Carlton has a few golden rules for his events, the first one is: No egos. They stand in the way of learning.

The second one is: No holding out. Like any good party, everyone must be willing to share the good stuff. No one ever got rich by hording their best money-making secrets.

And if they did, they stupidly left a whole lot more on the table by not engaging in reciprocity.

• The networking will be intimate and everlasting.

Because this event will be much more of a workshop environment than typical seminars, the old rule that the “real networking happens at the bar” is not in effect here.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s sure to be some barstool bonding, but why waste that on biz talk. The daylong sessions are where you’ll get to show your savvy, or just kick back and ask questions.

There’s no right or wrong way to approach it… the important thing is that you’ll be mixing it up with the best in the biz.

And because they’ll be spending time focused on your business, the door will be more open than ever to make connections and invite opportunity.

• It’s called the “Action Seminar” for a good reason.

Aside from John Carlton and his biz partner Stan Dahl (who charge $2,500 for just one hour of telephone consulting)…

… a few of the experts who’ve already confirmed are:

• Brian Johnson – who is Rich Schefren’s right arm over at Strategic Profits. I’ve had the occasion to hang with Brian 3 times now and he bends my thinking every time. No matter how “on top of it” you think you might be right now, I guarantee you’ll learn some new tricks for increasing profits from Brian.

• Teran Dale – the greatest PPC expert you’ve never heard of. Harlan brought Teran to one of John’s rare Hot Seat seminar’s last year and he completely stole the show. This is a guy who not only has the ear of Google, but has actually influenced their policy in favor of marketers. You don’t truly know PPC until you know Teran.

• Mike Koenigs – of Traffic Geyser. If you hate the idea of “selling”, but still want to get your message out with major impact — Mike will teach you how. I’ve seen Mike’s speak twice now and he blew me away both times — with totally different material. He’s the master of leading people to buy without every coming off like a salesman.

• Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero – of the “She-Factor.” Women control 85% of the money out there, and Lorrie knows all their hot buttons. If your marketing is drenched in testosterone right now — you’re leaving HUGE money on the table. I promise that will change after you talk with Lorrie.

• David Deutsch - who holds several controls with Boardroom Publishing and others. David’s insights and tactics for mega-profit copywriting online and off are second to none.

• Scott Haines - who took over as Gary Halbert’s “wingman” after Carlton and remains of the best copywriters working today.

• “Million Dollar” Mike Morgan – who consistently kills it online with letters converting at 12%, 18% and higher for some of the biggest name marketers out there.

Those are just a few — and NONE of them will SELL you a thing.

No Presentations, no pitching, no sign-up forms shoved in your face (just when you thought they really liked you!)…

… this event is no holds barred.

You get your ticket, you get yourself to sunny San Diego, and you get to pick the brains of these top experts about YOUR BUSINESS for 2 solid days.

Forget the marketing seminar as you know it.

This is more like waking up to find out you are related to the world’s top direct response marketing experts — and free to ask them anything you like.

(They have to give you the straight dope or look like a tool in front of the entire family. )

Bottom line is…

• If you don’t come away from this event with at least 3 actionable, profit boosting tactics to implement the minute you get home, then you had to be asleep.

It’s just that good.

So good that all the top marketing experts I mentioned are willing to pay there own way to attend the event and NOT SELL a thing.

You know, one thing I’ve learned over and over since gaining access to the top players in this business of ours is…

The richest (and happiest) marketers are the ones who never stop learning!

When I look around at the really good seminars, I see marketing legends like Perry Marshall, Joe Polish, MaryEllen Tribby and Brian Tracy sitting in the audience taking notes along with every other attendee.

It shocked me a little the first time I saw a billionaire sitting among total newbies listening just as intently to a marketer’s presentation… but the more I saw this happening, the more it made perfect sense.

The great thing about marketing is…

No matter how much you make or how much you know, you always want more. And there’s always more to be learned — and more to be earned.

Let’s face it, this businesses is not for the weak or the lazy. The ones who score big and keep scoring big, are the ones who stay plugged into the action.

John Carlton’s been in the action for over 25 years now.

That’s the reason this cast of All-Stars are willing to pay to sit on his panel of experts… they know what John’s time is worth. They’re guaranteed to learn as much as they teach.

To hear John’s 5 reasons you should come to the event, and get all the juicy details — go here:

Yes… that’s my personal link to the seminar. And yes, that means if you sign up through my link I get paid a few bucks.

No… it won’t cost you any more to sign up with my link, but to show my appreciation, I will give you a full hour telephone consultation following the event.

Here’s why the bonus consultation is so valuable to you…

• With the extreme level of brainpower in the room at this event, the information will be flying fast. I’ll have you send me 3 specific questions or ideas you got from the seminar, and we’ll get on the phone and turn them into solid, actionable tactics.

That way nothing slips past you.  I’ll even look over your current sales copy if you like and show you how to improve it based on the stuff you pick up at the seminar.

If you don’t have copy yet, I’ll help you outline the best hooks and give you a “GPS sales map” to follow for creating high-converting copy.

• My one hour phone consultations go for $500, but it’s yours at no extra cost just for joining the Action Seminar through my link.

So, if you truly want to start 2010 off with a bang, this should be an easy decision for you.

When you sign up, you’ll get all the details about the awesome waterfront hotel hosting the event — and the amazing low rate they were able to score. (This rate expires very soon, so don’t dally.)

I look forward to meeting you there if you can make it.

Best,

Kevin

P.S. I probably don’t have to mention that space is extremely limited for this event. Like I said, it’s designed to be intimate, so the limited seats will go fast.
