Gateway to Wealth Seminar in Dallas Texas

Hey there, fellow marketers! It's been a long time since I've given this blog any serious attention.
Honestly, I haven't taken the time to evaluate the products, services and alleged gurus in the internet marketing industry.

Well, that's about to change.

See, I am about to embark on the biggest "Is this a guru or a charlatan?" quest that I have ever undertaken. I've signed up for a live event in Dallas, Texas entitled, "Gateway to Wealth Seminar."

As usual, I do this with an open mind to learn from the alleged masters of the industry.
Good or bad, useful or worthless, I will report on every speaker and on every topic.

My business associate, Max, and I will be traveling down to Dallas, with the commitment of PERFORMING every action that these experts recommend.

The speakers that I know of at the moment are these:

Gary Ambrose - he espouses himself as the email guru. He is the primary architect of this seminar, and I look forward to meeting him.

Keith Wellman - This guy is probably the person I can relate to the most. I am sincerely hoping that he has a nice step by step system which shows how he did what he did. He is basically Joint Venturing with Gary in this, from what I can tell.

Other speakers include:

Mike Koenigs - The proclaimed video traffic generation guru. This is some of the hottest stuff that's been bandied about lately, and this guy is apparently in the thick of it.

Joel Bauer - He apparently teaches how to market yourself. It's definitely a worthwhile endeavor, since many of us really don't know how to do that. He'll have a real challenge for introverted guys like Max and I.

Deborah "Coach Deb" Micek - I read this gal's blurb and don't quite understand what it is she does. I guess we'll find out. She's one of my Facebook friends, so I'm hoping she can shed some light on it.

Dr. Mike Woo Ming - He purports to be the Lead Generation expert. This is an important skill because the "sales funnel" is useless without leads.

Perry Belcher - He claims to be the Master of Social Media. That would be things like Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook, among others.

Stephen Pierce - Like Ms. Micek, I'm not sure what Stephen is an expert at, but I love his rags-to-riches story. It's very touching, and I'm hoping we'll learn something useful from him.

Apparently, there are some other unknown speakers slated to appear as well.

Here's some of what the seminar advertises...

• The quickest and easiest ways to make money online - Even if you have NO list, NO product, NO name recognition, and very little cash to play with.
• How to dramatically improve website conversions INSTANTLY! - This works whether you're trying to build a bigger list, increase sales, find affiliates - or even all three!
• Under-Utilized traffic generation strategies that can easily be exploited to the tune of tens of thousands of targeted visitors each and every month. - These won't cost you a dime to implement, but can easily outperform even the most heavily funded of pay-per-click marketing campaigns.
• The simple secret to getting endorsements from well known, and highly trusted experts who don't know you even exist. You can become an instant expert, in any field ... and the right endorsements can send your sales through the roof!
• How to find the hottest markets before you waste a single second of your life chasing a loser. - It's almost like knowing which lottery numbers will win before you buy your ticket.
• Discover how the pros run a virtual empire, and do it all from the comforts of their very own homes. - Warning: What you think you know about internet marketing may be all wrong! The big boys and girls are doing things VERY differently than you are, and you're about to discover why.
• The newest, and most profitable concepts in membership, continuity, and recurring-revenue streams. - They're way easy to set up. They generate income on complete auto-pilot. And, you never have to update the content. Get the skinny ...
• 6 of the quickest, cheapest, and most effective ways to build your list - And I'm talking about a RESPONSIVE list, not a weak, worthless list filled with whiny tire-kickers, and freebie seekers.
• How to squeeze MASSIVE profits out of tiny little lists. - Can you imagine pulling in almost $600 for each prospect that joins your list? That's right, $600 per prospect ...
• Learn how to identify the invisible forces holding you back, and how to re-wire your self with a Millionaire Mindset. These simple techniques will turn you into an unstoppable internet marketing tycoon in no time flat! ( this is one of the biggest secret of million-dollar success that you almost never hear about )
• Why most marketers fall flat on their faces when it comes to understanding, and executing profitable Joint Ventures - Knowing these do's and dont's like the back of your hand is a virtual guarantee of success.
• And a whole lot more!

Now, even though I said I'm going to this with an open mind...after all, we ARE driving all the way to Dallas from Michigan...I do so with a healthy dose of skepticism.

What I want to see is these astute minds delivering quality content for our trouble. When they do that, I will shout their praises from the rooftops (read: this blog).
What I don't want to see is a three day infomercial or upsell. I will be majorly pissed if that happens, and they'll all be branded charlatans if that happens.

I want to believe that Mr. Ambrose is sincere in wanting to put this on for ordinary folks like you and I. That it's not some sort of shameless upsell. Only time will tell.

But, like I said, Max and I are committed to doing exactly the processes and procedures that these great minds can give us. Hopefully, we will forge great, new relationships with these giants of internet marketing.

I'll keep you posted!

Till next time...

T2000 Ultra Marketing System

This is an evaluation of the Seychelles "T2000 Ultra Marketing System".

The advertising is very misleading. It says "get 1 Million Guaranteed Real Visitors FREE!"

That's the bait. And boy does it sure sound good!

The switch, however, is in the FAQ section AFTER you've signed up.

(As a side note, the website visits come from the signup process...you are required to input 6 codes from 6 separate websites. Since the code is prominently framed at the top, I never bothered to even read the website, thus proving that this system can be abused quite easily.)

The FAQ says, "In order for this system to work, you HAVE to give it a kick start. If you don't do the initial work at the first level, the system will fail. It is vitally important that you promote your new T2000 Ultra Marketing System site in order to "seed" your system. The better that you "seed" your system to begin with, the faster and more efficiently your exponential traffic growth will occur."

Well, shucky darn! If I'm going to go through all that trouble, I'll do it for my OWN primary business, right? Do you, gentle reader, have the TIME to hawk a tool that "guarantees" success but only after you put in the Blood, Sweat, and Tears?

I don't.

The Blair Rich Project gives this one a big 2 out of 10.

Introduction

My name is Randy Blair. I am an ordinary person, with an extraordinary desire to achieve my own personal goals.

Every day, I am bombarded by hawks and shills squawking and chirping about this business opportunity, and that business opportunity. I read the Brobdingnagian sales letters of "gurus" who claim to be making millions with internet marketing, and how, for a modest half a grand (or more...but many times less) they'll show me how to do the same.

I am just a lone starfish on a washed up beach, furtively glancing at all my other fellow starfish who somehow need to make it to the ocean of success. For a price, a guru will pick us up and throw us back.

The purpose of this blog is to expose, for weal or woe, the opportunities, tools, advice, and the gurus themselves. It is a fair and balanced look at the truth, under a microscope.

Why?

Because, fellow starfish, SOMEONE has to look out for the money bilking sharks, and opportunistic seagulls who will pick us clean and leave our skeletons baking in the sun.

Here, I will expose the truth, and give the newbies the "common knowledge" that all business people know (or should know). Gratis.

Why?

Because, frankly, our economy sucks. Yeah, that's right. My dollar is worth less when YOU are unsuccessful...when YOU'VE been shaken down by an Internet Pirate.

Now, not all people are sharks and seagulls, of course, and those ANGELS will be trumpeted and loudly and consistently praised.

But I can't do all this by myself, friend.

I need YOUR help.

This blog is about YOU and YOUR experiences with the opportunities, tools and gurus with their products. Give me an HONEST evaluation of what you've experienced.

But don't try to pitch me. I won't bite. Ever. Why?

Because I have to be objective and give a fair unbiased analysis.

So, gentle reader, climb aboard, tip a glass, and enjoy the ride.

I can't wait to hear you sing.

Randy
