NEW BURLINGTON FEDERATION
|
Kudos to the tiny town of Burlington who now has 2 Federations in that area.
One is the Burlington Art Centre affiliation where we get together to produce
poetry based on the quarterly gallery exhibitions. This is a fantastic
expression of multiple mediums, and is thoroughly enjoyed by the poets, and the
artists who are honored that we share our spoken word.
The newest group is run by Jean Burbidge called Heritage Place Poetry.
It will hold its first open-mic event on March 11th, from 3-4:30pm at Heritage
Place.
Contact Jean at: jean@federationofpoets.com
to get more information.
Take a look at the benefits the benefits
the CFP has to offer, and make this the year you join.

 Hi
Everyone.I will be
announcing the anthology call often, and then I will let you know
when it is actually ready for you to start submitting.
We need Editors for each edition, so
contact me if you're interested. Some of the books are already
taken, so get the topic you love while it is still available.
On a
personal note - I need your
help. As part of the
anthology cycle, I am conducting an experiment in the power of when
poets help each other. I want each of the anthologies to be
huge - Amazon bestsellers - but before that can happen, I have to test
a formula I have, then repeat it.
So I
am going for a lifelong goal on April 13, 2007 (the day before my
Birthday), to become an Amazon Bestseller, and I'd love it if you
could help me launch my book.
In it, we will start to build a community where we help each other
launch, and put poetry back on top.
As a
result I am having everyone I know; friends, family, subscribers,
business associates, writers, authors, anyone who can help me, to
send a solo email to their list on Friday April 13th, 2007 at 11:30am
EST, 10:00am PST, (or as close as possible) telling them about my
latest book "31 Days to Millionaire Marketing Miracles." I
will provide you with the email, all you'll have to do is press SEND
or POST to your groups.
The
book is a 31 day blueprint for anyone who wants to start to
make money using the Internet as a marketing tool
or additional passive income to help supplement what they are doing.
No matter what you or your friends do, if you have access to the
Internet, this book will help. In addition I have exclusive taped
interviews I did with the $20,000,000 #1 eBay seller Adam
Ginsberg, exclusive interview with Yanik Silver, the
Internet Marketing Guru of all time, and an interview with Jason
Oman, the #1 International bestselling author of "Conversations
with Millionaires," and much more.
In
addition, I will also be offering free bonus gifts for helping, and
buying, that range from $250 on upwards of $450, just for helping
and/or buying a copy on that day.
This
will be a win-win-win. Your subscribers/friends/associates will get
a fantastic product and over $250 worth of free gifts, eBooks, exclusive audio
interviews with multi-millionaires on how to master the
internet, and gifts and advice from Jason Oman, who can help you
become an Amazon Bestseller too.
Simply go to this page and sign up as one of my JV helpers
http://www.amazonleap.com .
If you don't have a list, no problem, there are
4 ways to help - pick
the one that works for you, and it can be as easy as saying I'll get
one copy when it comes out on that day, and take my $250 worth of
bonus gifts all for $17.95 USD.
Play the game with me, and we'll all win.
http://www.amazonleap.com and
get more details about what this book will do for you.
Over
300 pages of answers you need, in the order that you need them!
Please sign up TODAY and help me reach a lifelong goal and
conquer Amazon.
Thanks so much! Let me know how I can be of help to you too.
Yours
Sincerely,
Tracy
Repchuk
President of the Canadian Federation of Poets
Managing Editor of Poetry Canada Magazine
Author of "The Poetry of Business"
P.S.
Remember it comes with my unconditional money-back guarantee, and if
you or anyone you know is not completely satisfied with this book,
return it for a full refund and keep the bonus gifts.
P.S.S.
Not only will you be getting 10 times the value of information in
this book and what it will do for you, I will give you 10 times the
value in free gifts too. That is how sure I am you will love
it. If you know of anyone else that would be interested in getting a
copy, or has a list that likes to play games and help others, feel
free to let me know, or send them to www.amazonleap.com.

LARGEST
ANTHOLOGY CALL
IN CFP HISTORY |
| |
|
We will be announcing this each newsletter, and posting updates, calls,
links, here as well.
A reminder our subscriber system is getting upgraded, so when you receive a
welcome notice, you will know what it is.
Coming Soon - our next anthology call.
This is an enormous undertaking, and will launch the April is Poetry month in
a very big way.
Look for an anthology call that will cover the production of 10 books.
It is similar to the "Chicken Soup for the .... " but this is called:
The Poetry of
(TM)
....
Marriage
Travel
Birth
Relationships
Love - Editor: Bunny Iskov
Children
Food - Editor: Laura Murray
Sports
Peace - Editor: Stephen Gill
Seasons
This will be a world wide call.
So
start to organize the poetry you have in those categories, and wait. The
call will be put out once everything is in place. Tell your FRIENDS
to subscribe to the ezine now!
This is how we will be making the announcements, along with a press release
to 40,000 different types of medias.
The new subscription system is ready for new ezine subscribers. If you
are a current ezine subscriber, have no worries, you will be ported over
automatically.
If you aren't a CFP member, the time to join has never
been better. With Federations around the world now, this call will help to
make us one of the fastest growing poetry organizations in Canada.
Our last anthology was so successful, it sold out in 10 days.
We still have library and fulfillment houses contacting us for more copies.
If it had been sold on Amazon, it could have come close to being a Best Seller.
Well, guess what? These will be sold on Amazon, with the biggest
one-day launch for each one ever coordinated for a poetry book release.
We're about to put poetry back on the map!

PS - If you would like to be involved in this project as an Editor for
one of the editions, please email me ASAP.
