“The Three Sides of Traffic Workshop” August 9th and 10th 2008 -
This was one of the best if not THE BEST internet marketing workshops I have ever attended. Truly valuable stuff. Howie in closing made an interesting observation, there were many newbies “which is a GOOD THING” and there were more women to men ‘ratio’ then any previous marketing seminar he has ever been to! Really great stuff. I wish I had not forgotten my camera, Backend Alex ‘you know who you are’ said he would email me his photos but for some reason i think I might have to twist his arm a bit more.
My biggest take away from this event; was the importance of Networking and building personal relationships in real LIFE. Online conversation and networking can only go so far, its the human touch face to face that truly builds personal and business relationships. Sounds so blatantly obvious but really think about what you are doing, on your computer all day thinking you are building meaningful friendships on facebook, myspace and twitter.
Get Real. You need to get off your toosh, walk away from the computer and take part in these events.
So Again; if you are interested in learning more about how to make money online and if you are already making money online and you want to make more…. You need to seek out as many Internet Marketing Seminars as you can and not only attend but really break out of your shell. If you are shy, do your best to get out of your comfort zone and talk with people, not just hi yeah my name is Joe I sell toys online… really get into it be proactive and see what business and JV opportunities you can drum up! My bet is you will be pleasantly surprised.
haha
Hi Thatcher,
You couldn’t be more right about this post. The best piece of advice I got so far in internet marketing is when someone told me I had to go to a seminar, Ken McArthur’s JV Alerts to be exact. Since attending that one in Philadelphia this last June, I went to another one in Chicago.
You meet so many people and build so many relationships so fast, it really is the key to getting your IM business to the next level. I am building a great Rolodex of business cards that are all leading people in the field. You don’t have to break through contact forms and help tickets when you have phone numbers and email addresses.
I got to know A LOT of people in a very short amount of time and in the IM field they ALL hang out on Twitter so you are constantly aware of whet they are doing and able to stay in touch.
Go to JV Alert in Las Vegas in October, even if you are short on cash, Ken’s people WILL work with you. There are other seminars besides Ken’s find one that will be close to your home and GO!
Just go.
You will be amazed at the difference it makes to your business.

P.S. Bring lots of business cards!
