There is an interesting event coming up called the Elite Retreat – a sort of micro conference (max 30 people) where attendees can get face time with rock stars of Internet marketing.
Elite Retreat takes place over two days (December 18-19) in San Antonio and it’s headed up by Jeremy “Shoemoney” Schoemaker (Shoemoney.com), Lee Dodd (forumtrends.com), Dave Taylor (intuitive.com), and Aaron Wall (Seobook.com).
The whole thing reminds me of one of those fantasy camps where you can learn guitar from Ted Nugent or how to work the count from an ex-Yankee.
But this is more like a marketing geek version. A chance to learn from the folks that have perfected the craft.
Bios of Elite Retreat Leaders:
- Jeremy Schoemaker (ShoeMoney) has been an important player in the search engine marketing field. His knowledge and expertise make him one of the top go-to guys for PPC advertising and online income optimization. His weekly Internet radio show called Net Income allows listeners to hear Jeremy’s honesty about failing and also the things that work.
- Lee Dodd loves forums and apparently they love him back. He is a leading expert in the forum industry. He has built several large forums including SprintUsers.Com, which boasts more than 95,000 registered members, and a 4 time Big Board Admin. He currently consults forum owner/administrators and offers cutting edge advice on topics such as community management and monetization on his blog, forumtrends.com. Many people will also recognize Lee as the founder of EarnersForum.com, which in 3 short months grew to nearly 5,000 members and 80,000 posts.
- Dave Taylor has been involved with the Internet since 1980 and is widely recognized as an expert on both technical and business issues. He has been published over a thousand times, launched four Internet-related startup companies, has written twenty business and technical books and holds both an MBA and MS Ed. Dave maintains three weblogs, The Intuitive Life Business Blog, focused on business and industry analysis, the eponymously named Ask Dave Taylor devoted to tech and business Q&A and The Attachment Parenting Blog, discussing topics of interest to parents. Dave is an award-winning speaker, sought after conference and workshop participant and frequent guest on radio and podcast programs.
- Aaron Wall is a search engine optimization expert who blogs about search at SeoBook.com. He also wrote a popular book by the same name, publishes numerous other websites, and has consulted clients large and small about how to increase their search exposure.
The price is a fairly hefty $4,850.00, but this is a unique opportunity, and one where a motivated entrepreneur could flip that cost into a significant profit if they bother to apply what they learn.
