Well it took some time to recover from this event since each day was pretty well an 8am to 7pm full-on concentrated journey into the possibilities of making a huge sum of money on the Internet. Even though I missed Saturday morning, it was quite a laborious event in that the air conditioning failed in the conference room and refreshments were light. Staying overnight at the Novotel helped a lot. Being some distance from the venue, I wanted to be comfortable and refreshed, so we hired a limo there and back after the event and that made big difference.
World Internet Summit speakers' hype and glory was infectious.
An audience of some 500 people persisted in the stifling air to take down notes from Chris Cobb, Raymond Aaron, Matt & Amanda Clarkson, Carolyne McCourtie and Tom Hua.
And yes, some $39,000 or so was awarded to one lucky attendee.
Topics covered
- CPA networking, how to get more than 100% return on a product,
- Automated eBay, niche items and focused, hungry markets,
- Offline strategies covering testimonials, consultancy and helping local businesses increase exposure,
- Wholesaling e-books, reseller-licenses and promoting your own product, and
- Viral marketing.
I’ll cover some of these in future posts (after a much-needed holiday away) and will post a video link to the World Internet Summit.
The Quest for your Dollar
At the end of each seminar, speakers would do the usual value-added presentation and cut that price down, in steps, for a program or training material to an emotionally-adjustable acceptance. What I mean is, had one been presented with the final ‘low’ price first one would still think it’s an expensive product. Ah, the power of persuasive Dutch auctioning of information products given high initial value.
All the speakers asked for money this way.
The top programs that do work are often not what you expect in which case there is massive potential such as Carolyne McCourtie's method to acquire local clients for big money.
The final big solution to making money was in the speech itself
That’s right, while guest speaker information packages averaged around $4,000, Brett McFall delivered the final ultimatum; the real challenge to pluck up one’s courage to be trained and join the speakers’ circuit for a mere $25,000, with a promise to make $250,000 per year.
"For $25,000 I can teach you to speak like me and make $250,000!"
Yes it’s true; great wads of income can be generated by purely speaking of one’s success -but that success must first be proof of one’s authority to do such seminars.
Despite the critics out there, the World Internet Summit is a success story in itself and a powerhouse of money-making opportunities for those who would never think they could get anywhere within the constraints and expectations of our society. And that’s they key; courage to break from the seemingly rational logic (apologies for the tautology) that to succeed one must work for a boss or a business model that’s a time vampire, bust a gut in property or slave away for someone else’s ideal.
The formulas presented for achieving success may seem a little dry to some, but one can add his or her originality as the business picks up. Dick Smith (Australian electronics entrepreneur) used to say ‘Copy the success of others…’. I add to that by saying, “…having succeeded, you can then afford to be original.”
All one needs is a little education and inspiration and despite the critics, the World Internet Summit does provide plenty of free advice you can take home and get up and running within no time.

some of these guys look like real croox, like sukking in the dollar, some people should be careful. I do forex, good money in that
I’ve actually done well out of the ebay information provided in the last internet summit I went to last year, it’s good but only if you avoid getting trapped into big money-spending ventures you have no time to implement.
I bought the ebook package last year . My logic was that I had sold online in the past and therefore should be able to do it again.
I found that it’s a whole different playing field out there now. Back then in 2001 – 2002 I knew nothing about SEO and internet marketing. It didn’t seem necessary. I just put up my website offered some freebies via a “freebies ” site that existed at the time, sent out freebies, and sales just occured.
Not so know. I believe you have to be a very experienced internet marketer to make any money on line these days.
The price I paid for the ebook package could be justified if I were given some hands on training in internet marketing. This wasn’t offered of course; instead I was just referred to out of date material from within their ebook warehouse which I now have to sieve through and make the best of it.
