Vegas Jan 2010

By Paul Wilson

Hey guys,

A bit belated, but as you may or may not know I have just come back from a few days in Vegas :-)

Well I have actually been back for around 10 days but had some other pressing stuff to deal with …

It took me a few days to get back to reality, but I’m back and full steam ahead!!

I just wanted to write this post to give you a quick insight into Vegas, why I was there, and what I got up to …

Well, I flew out from the UK on Fri 22nd January with my good online friend Marcus Passey.

On the flight we met up with Garry Parkes too which was cool!

After a 10 hour flight we arrived in Las Vegas at 2pm in the afternoon where we got a Limo to out hotel (no expense spared … LOL!!)

We spent the rest of the day chilling and meeting up with other students, and on the Saturday made our way over to the MGM Grand hotel where Mike Filsaime and many other top marketers were hanging out!!

In the evening, we were invited to a club where Mike Filsaime layed on a VIP party!!  Free drinks (if you like vodka …)

Let’s just say it was a VERY early morning … but great to meet some of the gurus of the business!

Enough said on that for now … :-D

Here is a picture of a few of us at the bar on Sunday…

Dean Holland, Marcus Passey, David Chamberlain, David Walker, Gary Simpson, Dan Briffa & Garry Parkes

On Sunday afternoon, we went shootin’ some guns …

We decided driving ferraris was a bad idea in our hungover state … guns though … great idea … LOL ;-)

It was freakin’ awesome I have to say!  It’s the first time I have even held a gun!

The main reason for being in Vegas was to attend Alex Jeffreys’s workshop which started on the Monday for two days.  This for me was a great opportunity to meet and network with many of his students past and present along with some other “celebrity” friends.

It all started off with a presentation from Alex himself, just giving an overview of where we are now … Awesome work Alex!

Garry Parkes was doing the intros, and generally making an fanbtastic job of keeping things on time and to plan.

We had two presentations from Stephanie Mulac.  This is the first time I have met stephanie, and I have to say I was very impressed with her presentations.  I have lined up a couple of things for my business as a result.

Jit Upal also made a presentation on list building and adswaping.  This guy is just a genius, and it is amazing to see what he has achieved over the last 12 months!

Adam Speil and Dean Holland also did a presentation on their Turbo Traffic System.  Again, these guys have come a long way and definitely an inspiration to us ALL!  Take note guys!

I also had the privilege of meeting Roger Hyatt from the adswap skype channel which was cooool :-)

There are too many people to mention here, but it was well worth the trip from both a learning standpoint, and also those all important meetings at the bar (oh I mean networking … lol)

I have made many MORE online friends as a result :-)

For those that just had to keep gambling right up to the last minute, here is a picture at the airport!

Finally … my OTO videos are now LIVE … “AT LAST” I hear you say !!

I have emailed all those that commented on my post “Is Video REALLY What You Want?” and all the FREE copies have been sent ;-)

My OTO page with my sales video on can be found here

No sales yet as this has literally just gone live within the last few hours, but I would love to hear your thoughts on it …

Until the next time!!

Paul

PS – I have just installed a new theme to my blog – let me know what you think of it!

I will get a header made up in the next few days too so keep heading back and let me know your thoughts :-)

    • Paul Wilson says:

      Hey Marcus my man!

      I’ll head over and take a look at your post in a min :-)

      I have played with the video I have, but would be keen to get some more if you have some … stick it in a folder in your web server and let me know where it is and I’ll grab it from there!

      I’ll give you a call in the week mate, OTO performing ok, but could be better so maybe it needs some tweaking!!

      Talk soon mate,

      Paul

  8. Paul Lear says:

    Hey Paul,

    Just finished watching your video series, very impressive! ;)

    There was a lot more videos than I was expecting too, nice work!

    I’m just getting on to doing a video series myself, I hope they turn out as good as yours… I’ve also got a few ideas of what I can do for mine, and how to present them by watching yours. :)

    Thanks for the videos,

    Paul

    • Paul Wilson says:

      Thanks Paul, I appreciate the feedback!

      I wanted to break the videos down into small chunks for people, as there’s nothing worse than having a really long video to sit through. That way people can skip the bits they already know too :-)

      I will look forward to yours, it’s good fun once you get into it and have them all mapped out!

      Talk soon mate,

      Paul

    Don’t hate me for commenting on this extremely late, Paul! But I wanted to tell you that I think this product is absolutely awesome.

    I’ve had a look around the inside and you’re overdelivering like a crazy man!

    I hope it’s all working out great for you, man. I’m sure there’s going to be tons of people who will find tons of value with this!

    Talk soon pal,

    Paul,

    Thank you for explaining how to find the unique visitors. I did not know and I had wondered about it.

    Some day maybe my list will grow enough that I can do an adswap with you.

    Your video was really good, thank you.
