Conferences & Seminars…

There are conferences and seminars in our industry going on around the world at any given time. Whether you are a writer, blogger, affiliate marketer, product developer, website owner, service provider, etc - or even just now looking at your options for getting into an online business - there is an event for you going on somewhere.

Attending these live events isnt a "make it or break it" kind of thing. I was working from home full time - and successfully - for years before I attended my first conference. But ask anyone who has ever attended a live event... and they will tell you that it was worth every minute and every dime that they spent to be there!

Why? For A LOT of reasons! Consider this:

You'll have TONS of fun!
There are tax benefits 😀
You will walk away insanely motivated
You'll get free stuff
You will meet some super cool people
You get the opportunity to set up exclusive JV deals
You are practically guaranteed to get access to at least 3 major secrets or strategies or people that will increase your income potential dramatically

Just a few of the cool experiences I've had at these types of events:

I rode a WILD roller coaster with Rae Hoffman. I had a fantastic brainstorming lunch with Fabio Marciano. I spoke with Perry Marshall in person. Alice Seba and I hung out in "the windy city". I found a great lifelong friend in Chrissie. I did a live interview in studio at wsRadio. I got a nice fat increase in commission from an affiliate merchant during an after-hours conversation. I was handed a free copy of Revenue Magazine, which I fell in love with. I got a cool geeky eBay tee shirt. I had a one-on-one conversation with Armand Morin. I met some of the biggest names you'll never hear in the industry, and learned trade secrets you wouldn't believe.

I could go on and on... but suffice it to say that it's been a great experience! You should seriously consider attending the next event that appeals to you. You'll be amazed at what you get out of it 😉

My current plans include:

April 2006: PubCon, Boston
July 2006: The Affiliate Summit, Orlando*
November 2006: PubCon, Vegas

... and I'm keeping my eyes peeled for other live events I may want to attend this year. I try to keep a current listing here: Internet Marketing Seminars, if you want to keep an eye on what's coming up. If you know of an event that should be listed there, let me know!

* I do have an affiliate link for The Affiliate Summit event in Orlando AND a 20% off promo code. If you are seriously considering this event, email me for the code and to set up a personal rebate from me.
