The First Ever CarbonCopyPRO “10FOR10″ Event Goes Live on Fifth Avenue
New York, NY- CarbonCopyPRO, the internet-based marketing system responsible for launching the revolutionary “Business-In-a-Box” hosted it’s first ever “10FOR10″ conference in New York City. The select group of members granted access to this private event spent the day accruing insider tips and work-shopping the latest online marketing strategies with Jay Kubassek, Aaron Parkinson (CarbonCopyPRO co-founders), Howie Schwartz (Executive producer of Grand Theft Auto) and Web 2.0 Masters Jimmy Davis and Dennis Karganilla (Founders of MLM Goldmine) accruing insider tips, and work-shopping the latest online marketing strategies.
Parkinson remarked, “The “10FOR10″ Event was great for attendees because it gave them a chance to be under the microscope of five industry experts. When you are in a sales industry you never get honest feedback from your prospects, you just get hung up on. “10FOR10″ attendees got to have their marketing campaigns and their skill sets broken down and built back up. This could only be done in such an intimate environment.”
Michael Force, a CarbonCopyPRO top income earner remarked, “The “10FOR10″ is the one thing I wish I would have had the opportunity to attend when I began my Internet Marketing Career ten years ago. It would have been a real game changer for me because I could have learned in a day what ended up taking ten. In effect, it would have expedited my million dollar a year income goal”.
At the end of the day, helping people grow and reach their potential is this company’s mission. And PRO’s goal: to create a group of at least 100 millionaires by 2012. “This event was a total success”, commented one attendee, and the PRO team couldn’t have agreed more. 2009 registration will be announced soon. All “10FOR10” events are by invitation only.

Google For Fun And Profit
There’s no denying that Google is a lot of fun. You can use it to find out anything about everything. Elephant polo (a personal hobby)? It’s on there. The Baja 1000 off-road race? Also a hobby, and also on there. Like I said, anything about everything.
But if you are in any way engaged in marketing on the internet, Google is a money machine—the ultimate cash cow. By far the king of search engines, Google accounts for more than two thirds of all internet searches. (In April of 2008, the exact number was 67.9%.) Obviously, if you’re spending dollars advertising online, knowing who’s getting the biggest bite of the search engine usage stats is critical information to have.
Digging a little deeper into the Google stats is mind-blowing. In a typical month, Google will process almost 17 billion (not a typo—17 billion) search requests, launched by over 200 million (again, not a typo—200 million) people. That works out to about 80 searches per month per person. And when you consider that right now over 70% of the North American population has access to the internet, the sheer size and magnitude of the Google cash machine becomes evident.
In CarbonCopyPRO, 50-60% of all leads come from Google, most of these through the Urban Cowgirl’s Google Goldmining techniques. These are high-quality leads, specifically targeted and the most qualified of any of our lead sources. We’ve managed some impressive numbers since I launched the business four years ago, and I would have to credit Google and how we leverage it for much of that growth.
Even now as people are worrying more and more about the economy, Google is as strong as ever, getting stronger, and we continue to grow as well. One of the problems a lot of people seem to have when they think about incorporating Google into their marketing mix is that they tend to think small.
To fully exploit all of the opportunities that Google offers, an internet marketer has to come to grips with just how vast it really is—there has never been a better way to get a marketing message in front of billions of people so cost effectively. Google is huge, and offers plenty of opportunities for anyone. It’s an incredibly powerful lead factory that services the most dynamic and expansive marketplace that mankind has ever created. Don’t forget though that you have to pay to play. To actively and aggressively tap into the resources that Google offers, you will need to spend some money. As a point of reference, in the last four years I’ve personally invested over $250,000 in Google marketing to promote my personal businesses. And it’s been worth every penny. In fact my average ROI from Google is well over 500%. Think about it… its almost like printing money☺
The key is to understand how Google operates, and then figure out how it will best serve your business. For example, the Google Adsense product is a great place to get your ads on other, relevant websites, as well as to make additional money from your own. The Adsense content crawler literally covers millions of websites, as well as Gmail. What’s really crazy is that Google itself is only 10 years old, after its incorporation in September of 1998. It’s pretty obvious that I’m a big fan of Google—don’t forget, though, that I’m a pretty good customer too.

New York Blue Takes Silver in Nepal
Chitwan National Park, Nepal—The New York Blue, America’s finest elephant polo squad, recently won the silver medal in the 27th World Elephant Polo Championships held at Meghauli Airfield, just outside the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. The New York Blue, one of only four American teams ever to compete in the sport of elephant polo and this year’s only American entry, lost in overtime to the Tiger Tops, who hail from Iceland/Thailand. With two seconds remaining in regulation, the Tiger Tops scored, tying the match and then going on to win in overtime. Stopping that goal in regulation would’ve given the New York Blue the coveted gold medal.
Since the average elephant weighs about 6 ½ tons and can reach charging speeds of 25mph, the sport is not without its risks, as New York Blue found out first hand. Chip Frazier, the team’s high scorer, suffered a concussion, and teammate Rob Forster limped off the pitch with a strained MCL and severely bruised patella. The team fought hard throughout the match and came very close to winning gold.
The New York Blue Elephant Polo Club was created in a bar in Anguilla. Bill Keith was tippling “http://viatraveldesign.com/journal/archives/negroni_300.jpg” Negronis, two years removed from covering the World Elephant Polo Tournament in Nepal as a journalist. The memories of this experience haunted him. At this bar he met a woman, Melanie Brandman, who had a scotch and newspaper and the musk of a woman who gets things done. Bill spoke to Melanie of mountains and jungles and glorious beasts thundering in pursuit of a small, white ball. “I want to bring a team from New York to the tournament,” said Melanie, as she put down her paper. Bill quickly assembled a crack team of sport enthusiasts and professional opportunists, and soon an idea became a team and the team became the mighty New York Blue.
Elephant polo was first played in India around the turn of the 20th century, by members of the Maharaja’s Harem (Zenena) to keep them busy. WEPA is the first organization in modern times to sponsor elephant polo as a game with organized competitions. The first games were played with a soccer ball, but after finding that the elephants like to smash the balls, the soccer ball was replaced with a standard polo ball. The sticks are made of bamboo and have a standard polo mallet on the end. The length of the stick depends on the size of the elephant, and are anywhere from 5 to 12 feet. Also, for obvious reasons, it is a penalty for an elephant to lie down in front of the goal line. The team is already laying their plans for next year’s competition. Since they don’t have elephants in NYC to train on, they use SUVs instead. Team member Jay Kubassek, whose company, CarbonCopyPRO is also a corporate sponsor, wasn’t satisfied with the silver. “Close only counts in hand grenades and quoits,” he said. “Second place is really only first place loser. Next year we’re going to win it all. But at least we all had fun.”
