* Brad Fallon - search engine master extraordinaire (he "only" sold $700,000 worth of products in May of 2005!)

* Andy Jenkins - author of Yahoo Store Profits and owner of multiple successful online stores

* Perry Marshall - the undisputed master of Google AdWords

* Dan Thies - nobody, nobody understands keywords for search engine optimization better than Dan

* Ken Giddens - I was totally unfamiliar with Ken until this seminar, but he is the most creative and knowledgeable Internet marketer I have ever met. The entire audience was in awe every time he spoke. Clearly, he has an analytical brain and is able to see opportunities that the rest of us overlook.

There were a total of 10 speakers, and I had the privilege of being last. Quite honestly, I was dreading it because at every other seminar where I have spoken, the audience is glazed and exhausted after days of intense learning. However, this group was still alert and eager and was excited to understand the power of eBay. I was astonished but I certainly understand why:

* This is a really committed group. Everyone there was willing to do whatever is necessary to take her biz to the next level. No wanna-bes in the group - simply dedicated, mature marketers who don't believe that they will magically get wealthy just by sitting around hoping

* The teaching was not only extraordinary, but it wasn't a 'pitchathon". The speakers offered real content, rather than simply offering a long stream of products for sale, thinly disguising their sales presentations as 'valuable information'.

Brad and Andy treated us really well, too. From 5:00 Friday night till 6:00 Sunday night, we received wonderful meals, constant snacks and even an open bar. What a great time! Thanks, guys.
