MEGA Book Marketing University
Learn from the best of the best!
March 2-3-4, 2007
The Westin LAX
Los Angeles, CA

Register by Midnight PST this Thurs., Feb. 1 and bring a friend for free! Plus, you'll get the complete $349 home-study course at no additional charge.

One reason I recommend and attendees return again and again to MEGA Book Marketing year after year is the amazing faculty of best-selling authors, marketing mavens and publishing pros the MEGA team pulls together for each event.

It's an inviation-only event, so this is your personal invitation from me. Here's the catch, you have to register using this link so Mark will know I invited you.

Mark hand-selects each speaker, so you get a comprehensive education in everything it takes to become a best-selling author. Everything is covered… from how to get your book proposal noticed ... to cutting-edge marketing techniques ... to staying sharp mentally and finding the inner strength and persistence to never give up on your dreams.

This year, you’ll learn from not only Mark but his ”Chicken Soup” co-founder Jack Canfield...one-of-a-kind motivational mentor and “A Child Called It” author Dave Pelzer ... nationally syndicated columnist and best selling author Harvey Mackay...superstar literary agent Jillian Manus, and others.

You'll also have the opportunity to meet a variety of top agents and publishers that always say "yes" to Mark's personal invitation for them to come and scout for talent.

Read more about this year’s faculty and what you’ll learn.

How are you spending your dash?

This is an invitation-only event, hosted by my friend and mentor, Mark Victor Hansen.

You know Mark as the co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul publishing empire. His personal rolodex is a veritable who's who in the publishing and entertainment industries, and he brings many of those contacts in to serve as faculty and entertainment for this annual conference.

Stay tuned. I'm still working out the final details, but will have a very special offer exclusively for clients, friends and colleagues who would like to join me at this event.

In the meantime, check out pictures from last year's conference, as well as Mark's 2006 MEGA conferences for speakers and marketing.

Who doesn't want free publicity?

Sara K. Clarke, a business reporter with The Orlando Sentinel is looking for quotes from local business professionals for inclusion in future issues of the Daily Business Buzz. All you have to do is email her your personal quote or tip of the day and you might be featured. It's a great opportunity to promote yourself for free!

You may remember my infamous quote about the power of black pants when it was featured last month. It's something I've said for years but seeing it IN PRINT was pretty cool, as were the numerous calls and emails I got from people who'd seen it.

Since the Buzz launched last year, I've seen quotes from several of my clients, friends and colleagues, including Anne Chinoda, Dwain DeVille, Kenn Gluckman, and Bob O'Malley (note, the order of these names is purely alphabetical). While I was already aware of much of the info they included with their feature, I learned something new about each of them by reading it.

Maybe Josh Hallett or Chris Gent will share some of their wisdom and keen insight with a quote or two.
