Giving presentation to an audience is just like talking to people who will not response to you until the end of the presentation, or perhaps sometimes in the middle of the conversation. So, there is nothing much to fear about, which I'm happy to know that you managed that over the practice at the bar and via the Anal Sex Guide. The latter is definitely quite catchy to wake up the audience. Last but not least, great work!

It was also funny at the end when you had 5 or 6 late entrants who had missed the earlier story behind the book and you referenced it again. A couple of girls looked at each other as if to say "WTF, did I hear that right?!". Good work.

Unfortunately I wasn;t able to make it as I had to be on jury duty last week. Is there any chance you might post up your presentation here to allow regular readers to this blog who couldn't make the conference a chance to hear your thoughts? Hi Al

Thanks for your review of the A4u conference. Unfortunately I wasn;t able to make it as I had to be on jury duty last week. Is there any chance you might post up your presentation here to allow regular readers to this blog who couldn’t make the conference a chance to hear your thoughts?

I hope you don't mind me saying it was not the slickest presentation of the conference - but, for me, it was easily the most inspiring, interesting, amusing and useful presentation! Who needs slick? It has all got me fired up to crack affiliate marketing and I have just started to blog on my progress at <a href="http://www.meanoldscene.com">MeanOldScene</a> - only 2 posts so far so have some way to go but hope to build up to a successful business. Thanks again for the presentation and hope to see you do another soon.

Thanks for one of the most interesting presentations on A4UExpo! You were nervous at start - that's true - but I think everyone understands as everyone in the audience would feel the same way. I am still amazed how you talk openly about all the aspects of your online business, not many people do - and that's the courage you have. Hey Al!

Knowing the subject certainly helped in the Q&A session afterwards which was probably more useful than the presentation as the audience could actually get the answers to their questions rather than what I thought they wanted to ask (if that makes sense).
