Canadian Internet Marketing Legend Brings Seminar Tour to Alberta
24 Nov 2006
Excitement levels are rising as Calgary gets ready to host Derek Gehl and his team for an intensive two-day Internet marketing seminar this November 25th-26th.
"Alberta is experiencing a huge boom right now, so we're thrilled to be able to present our Wealth-Building Workshop in Calgary this weekend," says Gehl, CEO of the Vancouver-based Internet Marketing Center.
"Think about it: How often do Calgary's most dedicated and successful marketers and Internet entrepreneurs gather together in one place? This is an incredible opportunity," he says.
Gehl and his team, fresh from wildly successful seminars in New York City and San Diego, are keen to share with Albertans the hottest tips and strategies for making money online. And these strategies can be implemented immediately -- often with dramatic results.
"After attending an IMC seminar, we went home and immediately started making changes based on what we'd learned," says Amanda Montoya, who attended an Internet Wealth-Building Seminar in San Francisco last June.
"The first email we sent out after making these changes brought in $102,500 in just three days. A few weeks later we sent out another email and made $86,000 in five days! We are definitely seeing an astounding response to our promotions since the seminar," says Montoya.
At this unique weekend-long event, Gehl and his team will be teaching, coaching and giving expert advice to attendees, while revealing the latest, most cutting-edge test results straight from IMC's testing labs, including:
* How to start an Internet business with a small upfront investment of as little as $500 (or even less) without any previous computer or business experience
* How to quickly access free tools and resources to create a web site in less than a few hours
* The 10 most critical marketing concepts online marketers must understand before building a web site, purchasing paid advertising, or writing salescopy
Seminar participants will have the chance to brainstorm with other like-minded entrepreneurs, exchange ideas, and network to form lifetime business alliances. They'll also be able to ask questions of Gehl's team of Internet marketing experts.
