I Need Your Feedback. Takes Just A Minute…
I know I don’t usually post anything over the weekend, but I’ve been doing some brainstorming.
In fact, last night, I sat in the dark on my Ipad and worked on mind-mapping some ideas of mine. Yeah, I know, I’m such a romantic. 
So, I decided to hop on my laptop tonight, go out onto my back porch, sit in the dark, smoke a cigar…. and post something.
… Along with a survey.
Private Call With Me
This morning, I emailed my list about this. I want to do something that I’ve never done before (and probably won’t again for awhile).
Not too long ago, I quietly launched a consulting offer on this blog. You’ll see it there in the top menu. I don’t promote it much and I have reasons for that. Obviously, consulting is a pretty time-consuming thing to do and it isn’t scalable.
On that page, you’ll see that I (currently) charge $250/hour to hop on the phone with you.
Obviously, not everybody can afford that. Quite frankly, that’s by design.
But, I want to talk to you. Or at least, some of you.
2 Important Updates + Webinar [News]
First of all, I really appreciate all the great comments on yesterday’s post. I’ve already written the followup post for it and will be posting it next week (most likely).
Today, I want to let you know about a few things.
Join Me (And Everybody Else) At BlogWorld
Unless you’ve been under a rock as a blogger, you most likely know about the Blogworld and New Media Expo in Las Vegas. If you haven’t been there before, I highly suggest you go.
This will be my third year at Blogworld. I’m looking forward to going for more reasons than one. Obviously, the networking is the biggest motivator for me. However, since my wife and I just had our second child in February, let’s just say I don’t get out as much as I used to. 
I used to attend more conferences than I have this year, so Blogworld in October is going to be my first trip out of Florida since March. Looking forward to it.
I’m Hosting A Game Show
There is an online game show going on next week.
It is about blogging. Yes, blogging.
Some “celebrity bloggers” are going to be hosting them.
I’m one of them.
Answering Questions About The Inner Circle
They say you’re supposed to launch things with lots of hype. You know, a big lead up period, lots of buzz, then open up to a blaze of digital glory, fame and fortune.
No doubt that that works. I’ve done it myself, in fact, and plan to do it again. But, not today. Today, I’m doing something different. Call it a “soft launch”.
I’m launching the Inner Circle program. It is now live and available for enrollment.
Blog Giveaway: Win Copy Of Gary Vaynerchuk’s “Crush It!”
I want to give you a free copy of “Crush It”, the bestselling book by Gary Vaynerchuk.
I probably don’t even need to tell you much about Gary. Most people in our circle know who he is and what he’s about. I have read the book and it is a great one, especially for bloggers (video or otherwise).
The spirit of the book is what I admire the most. It is all about getting out there and kicking ass. However, Gary also goes into his views on how to build an online brand and a community of followers and, as the title says, cash in on your passion.
So, here’s how this is going to work. I obviously can’t afford to buy every one of my readers a copy of Gary’s book, however I have 10 copies here to give away. I want to do a contest. One which embodies the spirit of Gary’s book. So, here it is…
Blog Masters Club is LIVE
Finally, it is that time. Today, at noon, I have officially opened the doors to the Blog Masters Club.
So, here’s the low-down on this:
Everything is on the sales page about the program. I hope I have answered every question on there, and I won’t bother to regurgitate here on the blog. No point. [...]

I’ve written something for you. And I want you to have it. For free.
