"Great Speaking" has reduced its subscriber base from a high of 155,000 to it's present level of 92,500. subscribers in 80+ countries. We still firmly hold the position of the largest Internet speaking publication in the world. Our reduction in size stems from our interest in getting higher quality subscribers rather than the mass quantity of people that weren't that interested in high level speaking that we used to get. Also, people in general are getting fed up with just too many emails, so that had something to do with it too. Regardless of the total number of subscribers we have, 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 Last year we reported that plans were underway to open my Great Internet Marketing retreat center. We bought the property in Virginia Beach last January and spent about six months getting it ready for guests. Several classes of serious Internet marketing students have spent the weekend here. They learned advanced Internet marketing techniques and stayed in my very plush estate home. After watching orders come in all day and learning my tricks of the trade one attendee said, "This is reality Internet marketing on steroids." :) I'll be holding several professional speaking retreats this year too. I hope to see you serious students here soon. For details on available weekends and pictures of the Retreat Center visit: http://www.GreatInternetMarketing.com/retreatcenter.htm Thanks for being a Subscriber Sincerely, Tom Antion, publisher P.S. Don't forget we want your speaking articles, tips and techniques in 2004. 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 *** Tom's Upcoming Live Events *** Jan. 16 & 17 Orlando at Internet Marketing Guru Yanik Silver's Birthday Bash http://www.surefiremarketing.com/bday/?26283 (this is a no cost event) Jan. 29, Thursday, Portland (before the NSA Eastern Workshop) http://www.antion.com/buttcampportland.htm Feb. 19, Thursday, St. Louis (before the NSA Western Workshop) http://www.antion.com/buttcampstlouis.htm If you can't attend one of my live Internet Marketing seminars get the tapes http://www.GreatInternetMarketing.com/buttcamptapes.htm Mar. 26 - 28 Atlanta at Mark Victor Hansen's Mega Book Marketing University (He's the Chicken Soup for the Soul Guy) http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?AFID=117962 **************************************************** ======================================= ======================================= Back Issues Volume 5, Number 1, January 7, 2003 http://www.antion.com/ezine/v5n1.txt Double Check Your Backups by Tom Antion Back Up Your Computer's Data Before You Lose It Part I by Joshua Feinberg Dummies And Mannequins by Tom Antion Viral Marketing by Tom Antion =========== Volume 5, Number 2, January 14, 2003 http://www.antion.com/ezine/v5n2.txt More On Cd Backups Back Up Your Computer's Data Before You Lose It Part Ii By Joshua Feinberg Strange Occurrences By Tom Antion Custom Audio Samples By Tom Antion =========== Volume 5, Number 3, February 26, 2003 http://www.antion.com/ezine/v5n3.txt Go Early By Tom Antion Deliver With Hope By Tom Antion Sound Effects By Tom Antion Do You Use The Ultimate Self-Promotion Tool That's Right At Your Fingertips?
