The Great Internet Marketing TalkFest

No, it doesn't exist, and no, it won't cost you an arm and a leg to attend, and no, I don't make a commission on telling you about it.

Mainly because I just thought of it.

Increasingly, our inboxes are full of exhortations to attend yet another guru's seminar. The promises are usually similar - only the speakers' names rotate.

And most usually beat the others over the head as 'sellathons'.

Of course, the real value, they all say, is in the people you meet, the networking you can do, and the jv deals you come away with.

Well ... why not cut out the sales pitches, the high-priced speakers, and the expensive travel and accommodation?

Just tell everyone to turn up at a public beach on a particular day and talk their heads off. The Great Internet Marketing TalkFest.

Lower cost, same result?
