“I came to The Marketing Conference simply wanting a “jump start” for my business — and instead I was gladly jolted into a world of practical, creative and lasting ideas for marketing. I also experienced a breakthrough by truly feeling and experiencing that marketing is the same creative energy I use to make art.”

“The bootcamp allowed me to step out of my fear of marketing. Armed with more knowledge in 3 short days than I had acquired in the past two years, I felt confident and inspired to start hitting the pavement instead of cowering in my studio. Thank you for providing so many different, current (state of the art) ideas for marketing in the new millennium!”

 Jay Levinson, the author of Guerrilla Marketing, shared a
wealth of innovative ideas during his presentation on Guerrilla Marketing for
Artists and Craftspeople.With Jay’s high-speed delivery, you’ll probably
want to put this video on pause frequently so you can digest all the ideas for
increasing your name recognition, fame, sales and most importantly — profits.
Some of what Jay covers:
• learn what marketing really is
• why sales numbers are unimportant — and what you do need to focus on
• discover what stimulates right-brained people to buy from you
• what the 4 directions are for growing your business exponentially
• learn what “fusion marketing” is
• learn what “memes” are and why they are more important than
logos

“Jay Conrad Levinson had coffee with me in 1983 and it changed my life forever. Jay has forgotten more about effective marketing techniques than most of us will ever know. He’s the man.”
— Seth Godin, bestselling author of Permission Marketing and Unleashing the Ideavirus |
|
|
|
|
|
Listening to Jay is like trying to get a drink of water from a firehose. A few
more things he covered:
• why advertising doesn’t work — and what does
• learn about and hear an example of “permission marketing”
• get the 10 steps you need to succeed with a Guerrilla Marketing Attack for
Artists and Craftspeople
• discover 6 ways to market online
• find out where to get FREE classified ads
• know what the 8 elements of a successful website are — miss 1 or 2 and
your website will fail to perform — most people miss at least 3 of these 8
elements
• discover the 3 areas to focus website investment in — most people only
focus on 1
• identify the 12 personality characteristics of a successful guerrilla marketer
— the good news here is that artists and craftspeople are naturally strong
in most of these — this will help you figure out if there are any of the 12 to
pay a little extra attention to
• learn the number of times a message needs to be seen/heard to result in
sales
• listen to Jay reveal the 12 monumental secrets of guerrilla marketing
All of the above (and much more) is on just one video. You’ll receive 16 other
videos crammed with tools that will allow you to earn more money from your
art.

Not only did people pay for this event — they flew in from Canada to Florida, Maine to California. They had the added expenses of airfare, meals, hotel and ground transportation. You’re lucky — for a fraction of the cost you can relax in the comfort of your own home and view these videos at your own pace. AND you can see them as many times as you want.
Some of these sessions took place concurrently — at the live event people had to choose between the two — you will be receiving both — so you won’t miss a thing.
The sooner you watch them, the sooner you will be able to put these money making ideas to use in your own business. |

It’s hard to imagine what a goldmine of essential information this Marketing

 I even decided to share, for the first time in public, how I was
able to get over a million dollars in free raw materials for my previous crafts
