Raising Entrepreneurs

Welcome back!

I mentioned earlier that Rachael came with me to the World Internet Summit. She had a blast – loved it. Unlike your average conference speaker, the speakers at World Internet Summit are vibrant and entertaining. Rachael took heaps of notes, participated fully, and got herself noticed!

I can’t go on and on about how well she did, because I’m her mother and that might seem like bragging, so let me leave it to Alan Forrest Smith, world-renowned copywriter and internet millionaire, to tell you what he thought of her:

Needless to say, I was bursting with pride.

But I was even more impressed with the amount of information Rachael has taken in and retained. I mean, these seminars are really jam-packed, and we tend to expect kids to have short attention spans.

But no – so far she has already made a video sales letter following Mike Stewart’s five-step formula, and put some sales words around it on a page, using the instructions from Armand Morin’s session on landing pages and sales pages. What’s more, she’s offering a bonus with that product – a video of her EXPLAINING to the viewer exactly how to go about making a video sales letter of their own.

She made all those videos after school today. This time around, her father is doing the editing and converting them to .wmv files, because Andrew and Daryl Grant want to show them to a group of their joint venture partners tomorrow, and we want her to get a good night’s sleep.

But in the future, she will do the editing as well.

All these new technologies just make it so easy for kids. Who would have thought you could turn out a sales letter by recording just a few minutes of video? Just amazing.

Anyway, if you’d like to see her literary efforts, and see some more of the video testimonials she gathered at the World Internet Summit (yes, there are MORE!!), just go to her site – http://ThatInternetGirl.com.
