Hi <$firstname$>
Your time is precious - This is a 5 minute read!
And a big welcome to the 24 new subscribers!
This issue packed with great resources!

It's a Joke
Nice collection of Jokes here and a terrific essay by Roger
Ebert on comedy.
Make sure you read all the comments, as that's where many of the great jokes
are found!
Thanks to Bob Siepielski for pointing this out to me!

Blogging
Kennedy is a young Mentalist from the UK who has quickly
built a
reputation for himself with both the public and within the magic industry.
He's done this by using many forms of new marking techniques, including
blogging.
He's just put out a book about it, which you can find here
...

Even though I think I know quite a bit about blogging and run several,
I learnt quite a few things
I didn't know.
It covers setting up a free Blog, What to write about, How to build traffic,
How to make money and a whole lot more. About 70 pages and full of
great content.
Highly Recommended for beginners and experienced Bloggers alike.

Brilliant Word Press Theme
Continuing with Blogs for a second...
If you know your way around Wordpress, or just starting out and want
something with a great support forum and tutorials to help you along the way
this is an absolutely brilliant
Theme package.
It's clean and crisp, very easy to use and a great support
forum.
It has built in SEO capabilities.
So good in fact that all of the new sites I put up in the last few weeks
were all listed
in Google within a couple of days and most now rank
in the top 5!

Why Johnny Can't Sell
Here's something for nothing for MagicCoach subscribers!
I acquired the rights to this 42 page ebook which I will be bundling with some
other books I'm selling in another market. But I figure you guys would gain
something from it. It's a Sales Manual and is very interesting.

Master of Ceremony
I've just come back from 5 nights at one of the best resorts in Australia,
where I was MC at a large conference. I love this work. Five figure paycheck,
luxury accommodation and activities, all expenses, food and wine included.
Plus they threw in an extra day accommodation as well.
I get asked about breaking into this field all the time. I
always say, read as
much as you can. There are a number of books listed here.
Note - even if you are aiming at the corporate market rather than the wedding
market, there is still a great deal to be learnt from the Wedding MC books.
They usually have very valuable tips, jokes and ideas.
It is a very lucrative market in it's own right.

P.S. I've also had numerous inquiries about the Up Front & In Control
book.
This was a corporate MC book I used to sell as a hardcopy and is excellent.
I've just been speaking to the author and it will be available again in a month
or so as an ebook. This is great news.
