It's Saturday morning and I'm sitting in session listening to Shawn Casey on List Building. Today is Day Two of the StomperNet LIVE conference and so far it has been an awesome experience. Yesterday was a full day of informative sessions, networking and socializing and I expect today will be much of the same.
There are around 400 in attendance and outside of the speakers and staff, its not a group I know personally. My first thought yesterday morning was I dont belong here. A few minutes later Sherman Hu walked by and commented how surprised he was to see me here lol. But by mid-afternoon I really got into it, and started getting a lot out of it...
List building, SEO and traffic generation are topics I'm already familiar with obviously, and so its less about the training sessions for me and more about the people & opportunities. That's not to say that I cant learn anything new because thats untrue, and I've actually picked up quite a few nuggets. In fact, I got really jazzed over the Social Marketing topics 😉 . But the gold is in the people that are here and the JV, networking and affiliate opportunities.
I have to say, just meeting Adriana Copaceanu in person made the entire trip worth it. She tops the list of people worth meeting this weekend! She's absolutely terrific, and while we've known each other for 5 years online - I feel like I've made a true friend in Adriana 😀 .
Shawn Casey is taking Q&A now and will be wrapping up his session in a few minutes, so I'll close. If you'd like to keep up with the event you can follow me on Twitter, or check back in here for live updates at ClickNewz.
I'm taking lots of notes, collecting some cool resources, and am getting a huge dose of motivation - so stay tuned, and expect a full report (+lynnisms) delivered in topical bite-size posts. And be sure to sign up for my free weekly webinars. I have a feeling this Tuesday will be an hour you wont want to miss!
Best,

Adriana is a doll. I've known her via MM for a long while also. Gosh, it always makes me want to hop a plane and visit everyone I know online when I read about others meeting up!
