Seth Godin in Utah
He started one of the first internet companies, yoyodyne, which was acquired by Yahoo, he then became a VP at Yahoo. He more recently started a Web2.0 company, squidoo. He is always talking about internet marketing – he’s one of the experts on it, and he has one of the most popular blogs on the internet.
If he’s geeky enough for you, we really need to rally our Geek Community and make some small personal efforts because …. We have a HUGE opportunity to get Seth to come speak to us here in Utah! People have tried to get him to come speak here in the past but to no avail. Now, it will take the efforts of us all in order to bring him here on May 24th of this year!
To get him here, we need to get 500 people willing to pay $50.00 to hear him. Not only will you have an opportunity to hear him speak, you’ll get 5 copies of his new book, The Dip. We are gathering pledges to pay to hear him to see if we can get 500 people to pledge (instead of gathering money up front).
If you’re interested in hearing Seth speak, there are a few things you need to do.
·        First, pledge to pay $50.00 at http://www.pledgebank.com
·        Next, blog about it! We’re trying to create a blog storm about this, even a quick simple post advertising this will help a lot
·        Third, tell everyone at work or who you think will be interested about it!
·        Finally, all the details and updates are being managed at a new site, http://www.wordmob.com keep an eye on the site for details
Here’s Seth’s blog post announcing this opportunity: http://sethgodin.typepad.com
There’s a big catch here, we have to have evidence of a large motivation to do this my Monday (like, in 3 days)! We have a tentative date from Seth that he’s been kind enough to hold for us, but we have to show we’re going to be able to make it so, please, if you’re interested, stop what you’re doing and go sign up here: http://www.pledgebank.com
This is a pure grass roots effort, it will only work if those who are interested (YOU?) take 5 minutes and actually do something about it – so please help out!
Thanks!
