Tom’s Internet marketing workshops are very popular and not only does he offer attendees attractive give-aways like best-selling books and gift cards, the biggest take-away for participants is the wealth of knowledge about ways to profit online. He works with small groups of less than 10 participants for shorter duration sessions and larger groups of up to 50 people offering more detailed, half-day seminars and training programs.

Here is some feedback from his workshop attendees:
