I really consider myself a blessed person. First to get a call from Gary Goldstein and Rick Frishman; Rick is in town to talk at Harv Eker’s Greatest Marketing Seminar, A seminar I have attended more that once and really like, and Craig Duswalts Rock Star Marketing seminar, and second is to get a personal invitation from Rick, who is one of the nicest people on the planet; almost as nice as Gary, to come to Vegas to attend Author 101 and help his attendees learn about social media marketing!
I of course said YES. I will be there… If you have seen any of my interviews, you will notice that many of my best ones were done at Author 101 in Los Angeles. Author 101 was such a great experience and I got to interview and meet the best of the best so I jumped at the invitation.
What does this have to do with Paulo you ask? It is the long intro to the very short story so hang in there.
Anyway, I will be helping new and seasoned authors get small interviews of themselves and their books that will be placed on the web and shared via my fairly large web reach. The authors will be allowed to use the videos for their own promotions also… Very cool right!?
If you want to write your book, publish your book, learn how to market your book with others or by yourself you need to be there. Here is the link to come and hang out with me, Gary and Rick in Las Vegas Oct 27th – 30th FULL DISCLOSURE: I believe in this program so much I am making Author 101 one of my sponsors so this is my affiliate link to register for the event REGISTER FOR AUTHOR101 Watch my video with Rick and Gary for more info…

OK so here is how Paulo is involved. Best Selling Author, Brendon Bruchard is a great friend of Rick’s because he met his agent Scott Hoffman at Author 101. Now since I have had the wonderful pleasure of hanging out with Rick, he shared a message from Brendon with me. Brendon is giving away 1000 of Paulo’s books plus his own for a very small shipping charge.This is no joke. I do not make a commission to sell for Brendon and I have no idea how many books are left. The interview is excellent, if you can imagine two of the greatest thought leaders discussing their philosophies about attaining and living a better and more fulfilling life and there may be a chance to get two books free. Paulo’s and Brendon’s
Paulo has sold over 140,000,000 books worldwide and has 6,586,260 Facebook fans and 2,381,733 Twitter followers. He is a UN Messenger of Peace and the last three U.S. Presidents have talked about this person’s books. He wrote The Alchemist.
The book giveaway is only second to a special interview Brendon is doing with Paulo. Brendon is the only person in the United States to get an interview (outside of The New York Times) so this will be a very exclusive interview
Here is the link to get the book and register to hear the interview. http://www.expertsacademy.com/paulo/

How To – Email Marketing That Gets Results.
►Right Click and “Save Link As” to Download File◄In this interview I ask Daniel about the following:
and Much More…..
I talk a lot about inbound marketing which is all about offering valuable content so targeted leads come and find you via word of mouth, or search engines etc., but you do have to use all the tools in your tool chest and email is one of the most powerful outbound marketing you can do besides cold calling.
Email managed correctly can deliver a low cost, return on investment marketing tool.
I have tried many of the various email vendors with varying results.
All the ones I have used were competent and got the job done. Some were easier to use than others and features varied slightly from one service to another.
The company I stuck with was Benchmark Email. To be honest, once you start with one of these companies it can be tough to move your contact lists and campaigns so the decision to stay was based more on not wanting to go through the hassle, but I am glad I did.
As I stated earlier I have had the chance to use some of the other mail programs and I can easily say that my decision to stay with Benchmark was a good one. They have all of the best of the best features and make them easy to use and I have found their tech and customer support to under promise and over deliver. I like that and think that most companies have forgotten how to serve it’s clients with courtesy and respect.
Full disclosure: I have set up an affiliate agreement with Benchmark Email and you will find their ads on my sites and on this blogpost. I rarely do this and most of my posts are very arms length so that you can believe what I am saying when I give testimonial for various products or services.
In Benchmark’s case I do believe in this company and will continue to use them and recommend them and I will gladly allow them to help sponsor my efforts.
Recently I called Benchmark to see about changing my programs so that I wasn’t overspending on my mailing campaigns and got into a discussion with sales about the possibility of them doing an interview on the best use of email programs and marketing and to my surprise they jumped on it.
So here is my interview of Daniel Miller Benchmark’s Sales Manager as he talks about email from A to Z and beyond. A great interview FULL of brilliant information. If you want to become a master at your marketing this is where you should start. – JW
Daniel MillerDaniel Miller is the Sales Director of Benchmark Email, a global, award -winning email marketing service for small and mid-sized businesses.
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Miller later moved to Malaga, Spain, where he started a successful computer consulting company. By hitting the phones and generating solid word of mouth, he built up a portfolio of 150 top-notch clients who relied on his considerable expertise on a regular basis.
Miller then moved to Los Alamitos, California, where he started working as a sales rep for Benchmark Email. After completely immersing himself in the email marketing world, he took the position of Sales Director for the company.
Miller now uses his experience to run highly popular webinars, teaching small businesses everything from how to build email lists to improving newsletter delivery.
Through Benchmark, Miller has developed strong ties with business leaders across the world, and he remains a visible, enthusiastic advocate for good email marketing practices.

Social Media Week started here in Los Angeles at the vLounge in Santa Monica, CA. A very noisy networking mixer of social media gurus, marketers, networkers and media experts.
Social Media is a term that is a bit hard to define by many of the professionals in the field. Are we talking about the media itself, word, video, audio, graphics? Are we talking about networking, marketing? Social media as a term, seems to now encompass the complete realm of web collaboration; social networking, social marketing and social media…
I just found out about SMW from my new friend Rey Ybarra. Thanks Rey. I do not have the whole scoop yet, but I have a week to figure it all out.
What I got from the opening party was that this event is going on simultaneously in the following countries and that it is the second year for the event.
Guests at last nights event were a very diverse set of social media experts and others that need social media help. Many I spoke to that had been to last years event, thought that last years event was good and this years is already better and the newbies to the event seemed to have clear goals to network and work at forming alliances and JV’s.
Others just want to know more about the where, what and why of social media.
Stay tuned as I pick up more information and get some tasty interviews! I have already met some powerhouse talent at this event.

I make no claims with either of these supplements, but I am a big proponent of Omega 3 intake.
Anyway the other site she mentioned was http://www.Unclaimed.Org this site checks for monies owed you that you may not know about.
Seems my mom went on and found a couple of bucks and so did my brother. One of my mom’s friends found over $800 bucks owed to her. NICE….
I checked my name and not a cent to me…. My wife was owed .05 cents, but my mother in law hit the jackpot for a few hundred!! NICE….
It is a government site so there is no scam here. The site directs you to each different state site that checks their database for lost monies.
This is great stuff. Check it Out and if you hit it REAL BIG. Help a brother out and send a finders fee.
Sharon Lechter brings us a Napoleon Hill Manuscript that has been hidden for over 73 Years!
Co-Author of one of the longest number one best sellers ever; Rich Dad Poor Dad and author or co-author of 19 other books mainly about personal finance and investing sat down with me to talk about her newest project.
►Right Click and “Save Link As” to Download File◄Sharon was asked by the Napoleon Hill Society to take Hill’s manuscript that had been kept secret for over 70 years and update it for the modern reader. Mr. Hill’s wife thought the book to be to provocative and the repercussions she feared from having it released caused her to keep it from being published,
Sharon fully annotates the book with well placed references to what was going on historically during the writing of this book and with thoughtful questions and insights to help readers get through some of the more provocative or complex content.
The book is mainly about Hill’s long conversation with the Devil himself. The real Devil or… Well, it is up to you. The truth is; it doesn’t matter, by using the Devil as the interviewee Hill can tackle the Ying and Yang or both sides of the seven principles of success the book is really about. I believe the book is a must read anytime, but especially during our current economic catastrophe.
It is an important book and and Napoleon Hill fans will love this book as it is full of Hill’s genius. It is also a sort of biography of Hill written by himself, that gets extremely personal and introspective.
I believe this book is a game changer and has the ability to boldly change your present paradigm of thinking. This book will easily become another classic! – JW

Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation held their annual Camp Widow West Event at the incredible Marriot Marquis and Marina and we got the chance to interview Abigail Carter a 9/11 widow who has written a wonderful book called “The Alchemy of Loss”
This is Abigail’s transformation story about her unintentional life, she hopes will help others deal with loss, grief, recovery and so many other issues you don’t realize are are issues until you are in the situation.
Grew up in Toronto where she met her husband Arron in 1986. She married in 1990 and then lived around the world – Brussels, London, Boston – before settling in Montclair, NJ. This is where her and Arron were happily raising their two kids, Olivia, 6 and Carter, 2 until one sunny September day, when Arron went off to work, later calling Abigail to tell her a bomb had gone off in The World Trade Center where he was attending a trade show. She never spoke with him again.
Thus at the ripe old age of 38, two years after that very fateful day, Abigail began writing down everything she could remember about the two years she had just lived through. In 2005, she moved herself and her two children to Seattle, WA in order to begin anew. She took a writing course and wrote some more and then by sheer happenstance wound up with her book, The Alchemy of Loss being published.
A must-read, June 4, 2008
A first-hand account of a Canadian woman with two young children coping with the death of her husband in the World Trade Centre destruction.
It starts with a typical day in a typical family with the author Abigail Carter preoccupied with getting one of her two young children ready to catch a school bus. The phone rings and it is her husband telling her he thinks a bomb may have gone off at the World Trade Centre. Still focused with getting her daughter to the bus in time, Ms. Carter dismisses the news as just another non-event in the big city and responds to her husband as such.
Rushing out of the door to get to the bus, she does not realize that she has heard her husband’s voice for the last time.
The book highlights the real pain and tragedy for thousands of ordinary individuals sometimes forgotten in the media coverage of national interests, formal memorial ceremonies etc.
Ms. Carter tells it as it is, without falling into the trap of sentimentalism or manipulation of emotions. The story, simply told, naturally tears at the reader’s heart. I did not have a dry eye for the first 50 pages. But, as is always true in such cases, the tragedy is mixed with times of laughter, humour and wit about the absurdities of everyday life.
