Just a quick post – a rare behind the scenes look at a real live internet marketing working bee.
At the recent Underground Profit System workshop on the Gold Coast, Australia, James Schramko really did put on a magic show. He demonstrated one of the characteristics that has no doubt made him so successful – he set a target so far beyond what other people expected him to succeed at.
He was audacious. He went for what was too hard and just believed that he could do it. It was his first large seminar. At first he only expected smallish numbers – but that blew out to about 140 attendees. The ‘problem’ was that he’d promised to get all attendees online with their own website by the end of the weekend.
On the first day, he and his team jumped the first hurdle, and got 140 attendees and their laptops on wireless internet.
On the second day, he and his team aced the final hurdle and got 140 people online with a website – and not just any old website – a website promoting a digital product with some fancy script running in the background. (OK – there may have been one or two whose websites were set up, but whose nameservers hadn’t propagated and so the page wasn’t viewable…).
Anyway, which ever way you look at it – this was a great achievement. I’ve been involved in stacks of events like this, and I’m fairly hard to genuinely impress. But I was so impressed that I couldn’t help but get involved. Here we all are at about 2.30 AM on the Saturday night – having fun, setting up hosting accounts, transferring nameservers, setting up usernames and passwords, and generally goofing off.

I can’t imagine that this was happening anywhere else in Australia that night!
