"Great Speaking" has grown again this year to over 130,000 subscribers in 80+ countries. We still firmly hold the position of the largest Internet speaking publication in the world. This growth means speakers from all over the world are benefiting from the information and forwarding it to others. I encourage you to use the recommend form http://www.antion.com/recommend.html to tell your friends and colleagues about us so that we can continue to help stamp out boring presentations world wide. RETREAT CENTER Plans are underway to open my Great Internet Marketing retreat center. We are very close to landing a deal on a property in Virginia Beach where you will be able to vacation and learn at the same time. If you are thinking about going to the ocean this summer, keep in touch with me and maybe I can help make your trip tax deductible. You'll hear more about that as the deal progresses. If you would like to be on the update list about this mailto:tom@antion.com and put "Virginia Beach" in the subject line. Thanks for being a Subscriber Sincerely, Tom Antion, publisher P.S. Don't forget we want your speaking articles, tips and techniques in 2003. You'll get full credit and your bio and contact information if we use your article or tip. http://www.public-speaking.org/articlesubmission.htm BACK ISSUES Volume 4, Number 1, January 15, 2002 http://www.antion.com/ezine/v4n1.txt ANOTHER HYDRATION TIP by reader David Smith SLOW DOWN By Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE RECORD THEIR BLURBS by Tom Antion TOP SEVEN WAYS TO TUNE UP YOUR WEBSITE by Philippa Gamse =========== Volume 4, Number 2, February 14, 2002 http://www.antion.com/ezine/v4n2.txt VALENTINES DAY CONTEST EXTREMELY SMALL CUSTOMIZATION by Tom Antion I HATE POWERPOINT a Rant by Julie Ireland TAKE A POSITION: by John Connor F^R^E^E EMAIL ACCOUNTS by Tom Antion =========== Volume 4, Number 3, February 25, 2002 http://www.antion.com/ezine/v4n3.txt VALENTINES DAY CONTEST WINNERS DOORS AND WINDOWS by Tom Antion INTERPLAY by Tom Antion MIC THE AUDIENCE by Tom Antion TEN TOP REASONS SPEAKERS/AUTHORS NEED A GOOD WEB SITE by Judy Cullins =========== Volume 4, Number 4, March 13, 2002 http://www.antion.com/ezine/v4n4.txt SHOCK 'EM by Tom Antion GREAT PRESENTERS by Rob Sherman Response to last issue's "Mic the Audience" Article from John Connor CREATE PRODUCTS WITH A PRIVATE SHOWCASE by Debra J.
