(NOTE: Tickets for NAMS 5 are now on sale for $297 for a limited time only. I hope to see you there in January, 2011!)

One class that stood out from the rest for me at NAMS was the copywriting class. Being a Certified Internet Marketing Specialist myself I know that you can have all the traffic in the world come to your website but if the buyer gets there and your copy doesn’t sell to them, it was a waste of your time sending them there in the first place.

For me, I’ve always struggled with writing sales copy but the instructor at NAMS, Karon Thackston, made it easy for me to sit down and just write simple copy that sells! In fact, my daughter Danielle who had never sold anything online before Karon’s class ended up winning the contest for highest product sales online that day. You can bet your life that having Karon’s class under her belt helped her win that contest!

So, let me introduce you to my friends from NAMS, Chris Cobb and Karon Thackston. Because of all the folks they had coming to them with a fear or frustration of copywriting, they decided to do something about it.

Just like me overcoming my challenge with writing sales copy you can – and will – learn to write great online copy once you educate yourself under the right teachers.

The first step is to enroll in their FREE online copywriting telesummit specifically for beginners.

Enroll here for their FREE online copywriting telesummit.

It runs September 1 – 10, 2010.

Topic: How to Make a Website With WordPress (Which, by the way, is FREE!)

Presented by: Angela Wills

PRICE: F R E E !

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Time: Wednesday, May 26th, 2010 at 6PM EST

Topic Summary: Ever since I started making blogs AND websites with WordPress back in 2006 I’ve never looked back. After going through learning code by hand, trying out tons of programs and becoming frustrated with my options I feel in love with WordPress and the power it holds. It’s not just for blogging.

This webinar will cover the basics of what you need to make a website with WordPress, including choosing a host, getting set up, what to look for in a theme, some cool plugins and more. WordPress design, updates and maintenance is also in high demand as an outsourced skill.

I’m on a mission to show you how free doesn’t always mean ‘no value’, especially when it comes to WordPress!

Bio: Angela got herself an internet connection in 1996, built her first website in 1999 and has been amazed by the power of the internet to build lasting relationships ever since. She is a blogger, affiliate marketer, podcaster, email marketer and lover of all things internet marketing.

After trying every business under the sun and doing it ‘the hard way’, Angela became stressed out, burnt out, frustrated and overwhelmed. She then made the final decision to build a business and life she loved. Now she helps others do the same by sharing her experiences and teaching others what’s worked (and what didn’t!).
