Come Listen to Me Speak at IBM Live 2011!

I hinted in a previous post that I was invited to speak live at an event at the end of April. This will be my first live speaking gig ever about what I do online, and I think it's perfectly fitting because it's for Internet Business Mastery Live!

For those of you who don't know, it was Internet Business Mastery (the number one Internet business and marketing podcast on iTunes since 2005), that introduced me to this world of online business. Truly, without Sterling and Jay, their podcast and their Academy, I would not be where I'm at today.

Also, it was Sterling in particular, who happened to live in San Diego with me for a short while, that suggested in a mastermind group that I look past Adsense and selling ad space on GreenExamAcademy.com and publish an eBook. That eBook, as many of you know, changed my life. Product sales on GreenExamAcademy since then have totaled over $230,000.

Internet Business Mastery Live is an all day seminar taking place on Saturday, April 30th in Portland, Oregon. This seminar is all about getting more traffic and converting more sales to boost your income, so if you don't have an existing website or business it's probably not right for you.

This is obviously a paid event, and if you don't live around the Portland area you'll have to fly in as well – but in addition to IBM Live and all of the presentations, they are throwing in lifetime access to the Academy too. Plus, of course, you'll get to hang out and network with Sterling, Jay, myself, the rest of the panel and all of the other like-minded attendees.

If you're an SPI reader and sign up through me I'll throw in one hour of consultation with me anytime after the event via Skype or phone, and we can talk about anything you want. I've been charging $400 per hour for the little bit of consulting I've been doing lately, so that should cover some of your expenses. Just send your receipt to me via email and we can go from there, and we can also talk about hanging out the night before the event as well!

Whether this is something you might be interested in or not, Sterling and Jay are holding a FREE webinar on Tuesday, March 29 at 6:45pm Pacific time about getting more traffic and converting more sales. I'll be on the call for a little bit.

Click here to register for the Free Webinar!

I'm really looking forward to the live event! Like I said, it's my first one and if possible I would love to see you there and hang out.

Wish me luck! Cheers!

    Congrats, Pat, that sounds awesome. If I didn’t reside on the other side of the country I’d be there 🙂

    Any chance of a video/audio/transcript of the talk?

  3. Michele Welch says

    Sounds fantastic Pat! Exciting times. I’m sure you’ll be great… the first of many more to come. 😉

    I unfortunately won’t be able to attend, but do you know if they’ll be recording the engagement and selling it afterwards. I would be down for that. ;0)

  7. Diggy says

    Hey Pat,
    Awesome buddy, you’re taking things to the next level!
    I definitely want to hear the webinar!

    Good luck!

    Wow! This is really awesome Pat and there is nothing else I can say other than congrats!

    One thing I love and I’m so certain about you is that you will have a lot of tips for us on the table after the event – I will really be anticipating them 🙂

    Thanks so much and have a great day,
    -Onibalusi

    Congrats Pat!
    I’m already seeing you mainstream, buddy. Book published, new york times best seller, doing tv interviews, etc. Heck if Oprah doesn’t retire you could even be in her show lol just kidding about the Oprah part. Few years from now you will think I came from the future 😀

  14. Nick says

    I hope it goes great Pat. I’d love to go but there is no way I can afford any of this. I’m only in high school unfortunately. I know you’ll do great and I hope it can help your brand spread even more.

    • Rory Mullen says

      Buddy keep the idea of being an internet entrepreneur in your heart. You are not to young to get started in the business. Keep your head up and I am sure you will go places.

      • Ralph says

        Agree, start small but start somewhere. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Plenty of free / lower items out there (on this site too) and just go for it.

  15. Chris C. Ducker says

    Congrats on the gig, Pat.

    I’m in front of around 150 Filipino VA’s tomorrow. Live events are always great fun.

    I love the interactiveness of them.

    This is awesome Pat! So sad… Can’t make it though! All the same, help record how the event goes and share it with us on SPI. Wish you all the best. Thanks so much for sharing. You rock 🙂

  21. Steve says

    Pat, what synchronicity! I just stumbled on IBM’s podcast two days ago, and downloaded the episodes to listen to while at work. Weird that I was listening to their interview with a ‘Patrick Flynn’ who had just made $10K from the LEED exam site 🙂

  22. Rory Mullen says

    Congrats Pat, If I had the capital I would pay you all day to train me. I am a sponge when it comes to learning new marketing ideas, and when implemented I will try to make enough money to retire and help other people.

  25. Hector Avellaneda says

    That’s awesome Pat! Congrats man! I totally wish I could be there but I don;t think I’ll be able to make it this time. I know you’ll keep us updated about any future speaking engagements you may participate in. I would love to hang out with you an pick your brain on a few things.

    Have a blast man! I know you’re going to rock the place!

  26. Katie Davis says

    Wow! This is so exciting, Pat! Congrats. You will be great. You always have info-packed podcasts and blog posts, so this will be no different.

    If I may, as someone who has spoken many times in front of large audiences, a few hopefully helpful tips:
    -If you’re nervous, remember, your audience WANTS you to succeed. Truly. No one is comfortable watching someone flounder, so they want you to rock it, which you will.
    -Even after 100’s of presentations, I got SO much out of this in preparing my next speeches: http://www.slideshare.net/marksalmi/you-suck-at-power-point-jesse-dee-101103032057-phpapp02
    -Have fun!

    I wish I could be there! I’m not going to wish you good luck because you don’t need it.

    It’s pretty sad that I only live 30 minutes away from Portland but won’t be able to go…money is tight right about now but I wish you the best Pat!

  29. George Tee says

    Hey Pat,

    Congrats on your live event! I just started my own speaking in tiny workshop too but when comes to big events like IBM, still have lots to learn.

    Kudos to you and all the best!

    Wish I could be there. I went through Sterling and Jay’s Interne Business Mastery Academy when I set up my membership site. It was the foundation around which I built my business.

    I’m guessing you’ll have a lot of great information to share.

    • Chris Green says

      Hi Deborah. What is your membership site? I am trying to get some momentum for one I have at the moment too.

  31. Chris Green says

    Cool. This seems to be really stepping it up a gear.

    I have to say Pat (although I think i’ve said it a few times) that people can really learn from your honesty and integrity online.

    I have sent many many people to your site that are asking me how money is made online. They don’t trust what most people say, but when you are as transparent as you are, it makes it easier for people to accept this can be done and have a real go at it.

    You’ll be awesome speaking, I have no doubt.

  33. Justin Popovic says

    Hey Pat,

    First comment from me in a long time. I’ll be spending some time catching up on your blog tonight.

    Congrats on the speaking gig. This will raise your profile even higher and I know the audience is going to be blown away by your info. You have been killing it.

    But I have to say I was shocked at your consulting fee. $400 per hour. Way too low in my opinion… but I guess that’s just you being the nice guy you are….but you could easily charge $1000 IMO

    cheers
    Justin

    Very inspiring to see what can happen when you get the right coaching to transform your life. Don’t need to reinvent the wheel is what i always say.
