My topic of interest would be:

How to write blog posts with effective call to action, preferably with concrete examples with explanations...

This would make a great focus topic. Thanks!

A topic I would like to learn more about is how to plan affiliate promotions. Even in one niche there could be a ton of products to promote, how do you promote them all on a consistent basis to generate sales? What if you don't buy the products, how do you generate authentic reviews or promote them in a way without being spammy?

Bumping this thread for more topic/guest speaker suggestions. If you have a new topic or expert you'd love to hear more about - either on my podcast, my blog, or in a live webinar - put your 2c in here as a reply!

Lynn, you posted a great picture on Facebook of Chris Brogan, who comes to mind as an appropriate author to interview about blogging with influence or becoming a market leader.

Also, Lynn, what about interviewing Scott Straten who came out with that book UnMarketing that you spoke about a few months ago, to talk about uniqueness in marketing message? Those are 2 people I have heard of, and follow on Twitter, but don't know very well.

Best,
Mary

Great suggestions, Mary - thank you!

[Sheri Dresser]

All these are great suggestions and I would agree with them all!

I would add as my picks:

Guest Speakers:
- YOU!!!
- Definitely agree with Kathy Pop about having Regina Smola and Jonathan Bailey. I have learned a great deal from both of them.
- Would like to hear more from Terry Dean about conversions. Was very impressed with his NAMS 5 presentation.
- Maritza Parra and Jeff Herring for video and social marketing traffic ideas.
- Paul Evans - niche identification and sales strategies
- Jay and Sterling of Internet Business Mastery (podcasting and general internet business start-up tips and ideas)
- Pat Flynn - Passive Income
- Alan Bechtold - Publishing as an affiliate marketer
- Bob Jenkins - Developing a 6 Figure Business
- Interviewing some of the most successful Elite members, and some who are rising stars! What they did to start, struggles and wins, biggest lesson, what they would do differently if they had to start over now, sharing a secret or two, how they plan to grow it.


Topics:
- A tutorial or workshop from you/others on how to find and analyze the traffic and numbers to a website in order to learn how to determine what is working and what isn't, with strategies on how to make adjustments.
- Information about various business models (i.e. affiliate, SEO local marketing, etc.) and some strategies or map to help get started with each one.
- An in depth discussion and tutorial by you on doing keyword research.
- Agree with Angie - Office and computer file organization.
- Workshop on Blogging secrets that you and others will learn at the Feb blogging summit and can share with us.
- Would love to know who besides you is doing this full-time, making a living at this business, struggles and wins, and the strategies they have developed to sustain and grow their business for the future.

Of course, I realize you probably have an in-depth article out there on probably every single one of these topics. If so, just cite them here and we'll just go read them. LOL!

Thanks for asking, Lynn!
