As you may know, we're LIVE in Atlanta with StomperNet's 7th Face-to-Face event, and we wanted to update you folks who couldn't be with us with a few photographs we've snapped here at the event so far!

The real benefit of our LIVE events is what you see right here.  Getting to sit down with us and talk about YOUR business and interact with the Faculty, Staff, AND your fellow Stompers.  None of us is as smart as all of us, and that's never more clear than when we get together.

We kicked off the event with a FULL Friday of FormulaFIVE business growth.  The day was dominated by super-consultant Paul Lemberg, creator of F5.  In addition to going deep into the time management power of FormulaFIVE's "Turbo Thruster" we also got to see Paul's secrets for nearly INSTANT and INFINITE product creation.  If you have more products to sell, you make more money.  Makes sense, right?

Andy Edmonds sometimes talks over people's heads, but that's just because he's so dang smart!  In additon to sharing his formidable SEO and usability skills with Stompers, he's also been showing off his new iPhone app "iBlipper" – (available soon!)

Here's another example of how a Stomper event breaks down the "wall" you might see at some other events – here's Dan Thies, right off the LIVE stage, interacting directly with members.  You can come to our events and ask us ANYTHING about your business.  And if you're not comfortable asking in a crowded hotel lobby, you should check out the Confidential Roundtable discussions.  I'd tell you what was discussed (but you might never see me again!)

Here, Don Crowther brings his social marketing expertise to the table and lays it out for our FormulaFIVE Day attendees – and not only did he deliver BRAND NEW content for our members, but he hung around afterwards to make sure everyone had every question answered.  It's not just about listening – everyone is here to LEARN and we make sure that happens.

Towards the end of a long and information-packed day, we like to unwind and network, and that's exactly what we do.  Here, you can see members and staff after hours.  Is Andy threatening this guy for wearing the same shirt to the party?  Probably not.  After such a long day, we'll let the fashion faux-pas slide.

Okay… maybe not!  Just when we thought we were done discussing fashion, this guy walks in.  No, not Faculty Sherman Hu.  The other guy – with the hat!  As a special bonus for demonstrating his understanding of "attention marketing", Andy gave this guy an hour of free consulting with the Stomper Faculty member of his choice.  It PAYS to come to LIVE events, in many more ways than the obvious one.

And that was our Friday.  Saturday would prove to be even MORE busy and literally busting at the seams for some sessions.  In fact, it was SO hectic, that I'm only just now getting to tell you about Friday, but we promise, check this space again very soon for another update from the floor of LIVE 7, including details and tidbits from our presenters, and of course, more photos!

If you want more up-to-the-minute updates, lots of buzz (and tweeting) over on Twitter!   (Speaking of Twitter, the next post will have some good stuff from Perry Belcher's presentation, so don't miss it!)

Also, don't forget to leave us a comment if you like the pictures.

Talk again very soon!

What is a "Gonzo Bonus?"

"Gonzo" means 'with reckless abandon' or 'extreme'.

It also describes the kind of writing that Hunter S. Thompson enjoyed ('Gonzo Journalism'), where the reporter made himself part of the story.

The bonuses that I'm offering for Frank Kern's Mass Control 2.0 product are definitely "Gonzo" because:

1. They are extreme.
2. I use Mass Control techniques (even before it was called 'Mass Control') and I'm a small part of 'the Mass Control story' – the part that has the $18,000,000 plot…

…making my endorsement of Mass Control 2.0 enthusiastic and easy.

So, if you decide to take my recommendation and become a Mass Control 2.0 member, I will add the following to your package:

2 Months FREE
Full StomperNet Elite Membership
(worth $1,594.00)

2 FREE Tickets to
ANY StomperNet LIVE Event
(worth $2,994.00)

Beta Tester Status for Don Crowther's
NEW SMARTS 2.0 Social Media Traffic Strategies
(This is FULL Access to SMARTS 2.0 that's in development)
(SMARTS 1.0 was $1497.00)

…And finally: You'll be entered into a random drawing to win…

A "Genuine" Frank Kern Surfboard!
(Restrictions Apply: Skills and Insurance Required.
Not responsible for: Shark Attacks, Bodily Injury (including decapitation),
Family & Friend Ridicule, Flip Flops, Hair Growth, or Loss of Productivity)

I was all set to call that a great bonus package when Frank emailed me and turned "Gonzo" into "Gratuitous"…

"Andy, I'm having a Mass Control 2.0 Live Event at the end of April – it's for any Mass Control 2.0 customer. It's a workshop, not a 'seminar' – so no pitching. It doesn't cost anything."

What that means is you'll get:

1. Frank teaching you Mass Control in person.

2. Frank tearing apart your websites, videos, and sales letters.

3. Frank showing you how to find hot markets.

4. Frank showing you how to get more people promoting your stuff.

5. Frank getting you fast-tracked to make more money immediately.

And because I'm "part of the story" along with a small handful of other people, here's what else I can stack on top of this for you:

An Invitation to a full day
Super-Secret Closed-Door Mastermind Session at MC 2.0 with some big-shot dudes - I'll be there to serve coffee

Seriously, this is a secret EXTRA DAY that the general public doesn't even know about. It's only available to my customers and a hand-full of others.

My Terms:

On the honor system, even if you return Mass Control 2.0 because it was somehow not right for you, I'll let you keep the following bonuses anyway:

1. 2 months Free StomperNet Elite Membership
2. 2 Free Tickets to Any StomperNet Live Event
3. Beta Tester Status to SMARTS

You MUST give Mass Control 2.0 an honest effort.  And I'm not going to award any of the bonuses until 45 days after you purchase because I'm not doing this to attract groupies or serial refunders.

This is for the 99% of the folks that are going to give Mass Control 2.0 an HONEST effort.

Fair?  Simple?  Alrighty then!

Mass Control "officially" turns on at 1pm Eastern US (that's 10am Pacific Time).

See you at Mass Control Live in April!

P.S.  At the last Mass Control Live – I met Paul Lemberg…  Just saying…

Wow… we just released the SMARTS Strategy Guide a few hours ago and the questions and comments are already flooding in about our upcoming SMARTS Coaching Program.

Rather than trying to answer them via email or taking three days to put together a video, I thought I would try answering them on our blog… so here you go:

Q: Is this social marketing stuff for real?
