Have you ever been honored in a way that literally took your breath away?
It was one of those surreal moments when you thought, “Is he speaking to ME?”
And that’s what happened over the weekend in Baltimore. What a GREAT group of speakers! Simply incredible content, unbelievable networking, and leaving with a handful of JV’s. What a weekend! I could not have asked for more.
Before I get to the “agog” moment, let me tell you about the speakers. I was greatly honored to share the stage with some of the best and the brightest internet marketers at an IM event. The whole Internet Super Stars Conference was hosted and presented by Mark Hendricks. Speakers included Mark Hendricks himself, creator of the Internet Success System, Ron Capps, better known as The Niche Prof, David Perdew, creator of The Niche Widget, Jeff Wark and Lori Steffan, The Dynamic Duo of Content, Alan R. Bechtold, author of The FUNdamental You, Criss Bertling, the PR Guru, and Bill Thomas, the Adwords Pro. What a lineup!
But just in case that wasn’t enough, the agog moment suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Dr. Ron Capps, The Niche Prof, approached my table where I had just been brainstorming with Criss Bertling and asked if I had a minute. And then he said it … “Cindi, I’m creating a School of Social Marketing and I would like you to head up the module on teleseminars.” As I said earlier, I was agog, agape, amazed, astonished, and extremely excited. In the midst of all of this astonishment, I think it took me all of about 5 seconds to say, “I’d love to!”
So that’s how it started. You won’t believe the incredible faculty Dr. Ron has lined up for you. It defies description. Not only do you have access to Dr. Ron, The Niche Prof himself, but you will also meet Mari Smith, dubbed “the Pied Piper of Facebook” by Fast Company, Elsom Eldridge, Jr., aka “The Obvious Expert’s Expert,” “Coach Deb” Micek, creator of the world’s revolutionary new media marketing software system, Blogi360.com, Stuart Tan, Executive Director of the Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group, Kathleen Donaghy, aka Femme Filmmaker, Charles Heflin, avid researcher and practitioner of online marketing strategies, Ginny Culp, audio tech to the internet marketing superstars, Steve Pohlit, creator of a niche training program for using video as part of a marketing strategy, and Chris Lang, social marketing expert and social bookmarking expert. Unbelievable!
Just a heads-up to be on the lookout for more about The School of Social Marketing. When the School goes live, I’ll add a link to this post to let you know where to go to sign up. Get in on the “ground floor” of this exciting venture. I am and I’d love to see you there, too.
Thank you, Ron, for inviting me to be a part of this amazing journey!
