It’s my wife Sylvie Fortin’s birthday today. (Yes, she’s a Hallowe’en child! She’s dressing up as Lucy Ricardo tonight.) But apparently, she’s the one giving out the gifts — or is that treats?

You see, the other day my wife held a private, closed-door webinar that shows you how to both spot and tap hungry markets — there are a few million-dollar tips in there! Fortunately, we recorded it.

And right now, we’re releasing it to the public for free!

I’m proud of my wife, her brilliance, and the knowledge she so willingly shares. And when I say her “brilliance,” I mean it in more ways than one. In fact, it’s golden! Go check out the video below and you’ll see exactly what I mean…

I feel kinda bad.

Julie Isaac, who commented on a previous blog post in which I said I was preparing for my upcoming Web 2.0 copywriting workshop, was upset with me. And for good reason, too. Here’s what she said:

This is the first time, since you announced it in May, that I’ve seen you write about your Web 2.0 Copywriting workshop. Are you still planning it for the weekend of November 10th? I’ve been holding that weekend open since I heard your plans, but finally gave up, figuring you must have postponed it. Just last week, I signed up for something else that weekend. Please tell me I’m not going to miss your workshop!!!

Sorry to dissapoint you, Julie. But yes, the seminar is indeed that weekend.

The salesletter is not up yet, but if this seminar interests you, you can certainly go there now and join the notification list. That way, you will be notified as soon as the web page is up so you can register…

(You gotta see what Dan O’Day has in store for you… He shared it with me last night on the phone, and it blew me away! You’re going to love this event. Plus, with Google Audio Ads coming out, his stuff is very timely.)

I want to tell you about a few upcoming events that might interest you, one of which I am personally putting on with another top copywriter. (Plus, I need your feedback and possibly your help.)

First off, a little backstory.

After my recent report, The Death of The Salesletter, and other reports like "The Death of Internet Marketing" by Mike Filsaime and "The Rebirth of Internet Marketing" by John Reese, I received quite a few requests.

Specifically, and since we talked about increasing popularization of Web 2.0, audio, and video (and multimedia in general), and how they are growing in the online sales experience, people have asked me over and over again:

"Michel, how do you write copy for audio and video?"

Well, you’re in for a treat…

I'm back from Atlanta from attending the Big Seminar.

I got to see my friends and some top marketers while there, including Jim Edwards, Marlon Sanders, Mike Woo-Ming, Brad Fallon, Jeff Johnson, Ray Edwards, Eric Graham, and more. (The picture on the left is with Eric Graham, one of my coaching students.)

The highlight of the weekend, aside from the great content and the networking and shoulder-rubbing opportunities, was Saturday night. Dr. Scott Lewis, an Internet marketer as well, is a hypnotist with a regular show in Vegas. He gave a show on Saturday that was filled with surprises.

(My jaw still hurts from laughing so much!)

Nevertheless, I’m back in the office and now getting ready for a ton of events. May is shaping up to be quite a busy month, with webinars, teleseminars, copy critiques, and more.

First on the agenda…

My apologies for the webinar being cut inadvertently short. I was giving out so much content that I lost track of time. The software mercilessly booted me out in the middle of my presentation.

This presentation was “off the cuff” and meant purely as a way to give you as much great content as I possibly could. I wasn’t looking at my watch. (Judging from the emails I received, you weren’t, either. And I’m glad!)

But I want to stick to my promise.

Want to crawl inside my mind for a an hour or so to learn the process I go through to write copy? Tonight is your chance.

My coaching student, Eric Graham, is not only a copywriter but also a webinar expert. He’s in the process of producing several webinars to create content for an upcoming product he’s putting together.

So he asked me If was interested. I accepted.

And tonight, we’re doing not an interview but an actual, step-by-step webinar where I’m going to expand on the seven steps in my writing process.

And no, we’re not selling a thing. There’s nothing to buy.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Russell Brunson at various seminars. Russell is not only an Internet marketer, he’s also a bright guy.

And recently, he’s proven my assessment to be true.

When he told me I was nominated as part of his Marketer of The Year 2006 Awards, in the copywriting category, at first I was somewhat reticent. But when I saw the list of those I’m up against, needless to say, I was stunned.

Nominees include the likes of Dan Kennedy, Yanik Silver, Armand Morin, Mike Filsaime, Mark Joyner, Rich Schefren, Perry Marshall, Shawn Casey, Joel Comm, Ryan Deiss, and a ton of others!

But here’s Russell’s brilliance.
