Electronic communications have delivered incredible results in terms of ease and quickness of communication, but there’s still something to be said for a face-to-face exchange of information — that’s why in order to get the goods on beating your competition, you need to learn how to find Internet marketing events.

The visible touch

E-mail, conference calls, e-meetings, these are all great ways of exchanging ideas and information, but to get the most out another person’s expertise and experience, you need to be in the same place with them. There’s an amazing amount of information that can be conveyed by the facial expressions and body language of another person that you just can pick up by most electronic means, and if you’re looking to branch out into the complex field of Internet marketing, you need every edge you can get. Once you learn how to find Internet marketing events, you’ll be able to attend them and pick the brains of some of the best minds in the field.

At an Internet marketing event, you’ll be able to rub shoulders with some of the experts in the field and learn more about this dynamic field and it’s potential to boost your business. At the events you’ll learn about:

What you’ll learn

  • E-commerce — direct sales of goods and services over the Internet.
  • Internet publishing — the sale of advertising space to clients via the Internet.
  • Lead-based Websites — the creation, design and maintenance of Web sites engineered to generate sales leads.
  • Affiliate marketing — How to develop products and promotional materials for these products that you can get active sellers to trade in for a portion of the products.
  • Local Internet marketing — How you can use the Internet to reach out to local companies and individuals via the Internet. Usually by taking advantage of local interest discussion forums and other place-based Web sites.

As you can see, there’s a lot you can learn about Internet marketing from an Internet marketing conference or event. The secret is finding these events. There’s a variety of different Web sites and discussion boards you can turn to in order to find a workshop or conference, but for a one-stop, convenient method of figuring out how to find Internet marketing events, you should check here. At Internet Business Events, you’ll get a comprehensive look at Internet marketing events all over the country and get help in finding one that best suits your needs and schedule.

Day 2 Unlimited Power Online Dubai

Numbers for Day 2 of UPO were noticeably less than yesterday’s, and began behind schedule.  It was suprising then that the organizers devoted almost an hour to non-speaker ‘infomercials’ – for Dubai itself and for some of the companies that contributed to the event.  Sadly this put the event behind time right from the get go, something that would unsettle less experienced speakers but which for this Day 2 group was just ‘detail’.

Internationally respected copywriter, Harlan Kilstein sauntered onto the stage and quickly established his credentials – no messing about. He is good at what he does, people pay him a lot of money for copywriting, and he can teach you how to be a successful copywriter too.  Do this and you can (a) work as a copywriter for others (b) writer your own internet marketing copy, or (c) do both.

Kilstein is a NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) specialist and is a master at incorporating ‘triggers’ into his copy that elicit the ‘buy’ response.  He shared some really impressive tips with the audience and showed just how gifted he is.

Day 1 Unlimited Power Online Dubai

2009 is the second year the team at Right Selection has assembled some of the top internet marketing speakers in the world to share the opportunities for people to make money on the internet with the people of Dubai.

Perhaps one of the biggest hurdles that the population here has is a painfully slow internet connection – but at 5.30 am, when I am typing this – it’s great!

Day One began with a welcome by the team behind Unlimited Power Online, Gautaum and Ernesto – who explained to the audience the untapped potential for internet marketing.  It quickly became obvious that many of the audience were already studying with Ernesto Verdugo, which raised the question of how interested they would be in the programs offered by other speakers.

MC for the event is Dave Crane, a vibrant and engaging former-DJ who did a great job in setting the stage for an exciting weekend of learning to earn online.  A gifted Stage Hypnotist, Dave is one of the most recognized faces in the UAE.

Newcomer to the speaking scene was Ciaran Doyle, a young Irish entrepreneur who was generous in sharing his tips on generating massive traffic in short time.  Throughout his no-pitch session he bounced around the stage, spreading his enthusiasm, and getting the audience ‘in the zone’ for more quality learning from the various speakers.

Americans Jimmy Vee and Travis Miller are best-selling authors, entrepreneurs and marketing maniacs, and when they took the stage they commanded EVERYONE’S attention.  They were loud and engaging, and delivered a polished presentation on how to combine the power of social media and online video to attract customers, build relationships.  They say that social media is ideal for getting ahead in business and putting money in your pocket – FAST!.

Their presentation was entitled (a mouthful) – “Maximum Wake Zone: How To Make Waves, Get Noticed and Accelerate Your Success Using Online Video & Social Media” discussed how to leverage the power of social media (like Twitter and Facebook) to attract customers.

UKs Simon Coulson took to the stage in the afternoon and delivered a presentation that focussed largely on how to make money by publishing ebooks on topics that you don’t have to know anything about – e.g. buying real estate in a country that you’ve never visited (this is how he made his first internet marketing money).  While many wouldn’t consider this ‘ethical’, it worked for him and it was an easy way, at the time, for him to start out.

He offered a package to the audience that included video recordings of a 3 Day Workshop, ‘Unlimited’ Support Package – from his ‘Faculty’, i.e. not from Simon himself, but ‘experts’ on his team, Access to his ‘Library’; Monthly training updates; Custom Software tools, and hosting of 20 websites (which he valued at GBP1200, an interesting figure when a reseller account with Hostgator gets you unlimited domain hosting for USD25 per month!).

Simon’s package proved very popular with an audience hoping to find a push-button way to make money online.

His presentation itself was much like one I saw him deliver in the UK in September, but with new slides and features that were unquestionably similar to those of another presenters at the same event – such ‘modelling’ appears to becoming commonplace in the industry.

Why Internet Marketing Events Are Important

People start their own online businesses in the hope of earning money from it – often they have been swept into a frenzy of possibilities by the hype of speakers at internet marketing events. Unfortunately, not everyone gets positive results immediately.

The web is a huge space where there are hundreds of thousands of people who also have their own internet businesses, and they’re all sharing the space of the web. The only thing that can give one marketer the edge above others is to make sure that he or she fully makes use of all resources available.

Internet marketing events, for example, is a resource that is regularly available for you. There are plenty of internet marketing events each year – and they can happen near you – but don’t skimp on your business success by avoiding travel.  Internet marketing seminars provide marketers with new information about techniques and resources, and allow them to meet other marketers like themselves.

How are these seminars useful? Professionals from other fields also attend seminars in order to network and learn. Lawyers go to lawyer’s expos, construction workers have their own gatherings. In the same way, internet marketers also have internet business events. These events are usually a series of talks and presentations from the experts and gurus on the internet marketing field, and these people are there to share their knowledge, ideas and secrets to success.

Did you know that there are ways for you to get millions of hits monthly – without paying any charges? And do you know how to send out thousands of mail correspondence letters automatically scheduled? Do you know the right words to use to sell your products? Have you designed your website in a way that it appeals to your clients? Have you tried to make use of Youtube, Web 2.0, podcasts, Twitter and even Facebook for your business’ success?

And if you have, do you know how to fully make use of these mediums? These are just some things that you can learn from internet marketing events.

Internet business events also allow you to meet other business owners just like yourself. Aside from learning from the gurus and the speakers, you can also learn and share information from marketers who are currently in the same situation as you are.

There are numerous internet business events, and they also vary greatly. There are seminars and workshops for internet marketing newbies, providing in depth information on how to successfully start your own business. There are also seminars for experienced business owners, too – showing how offline businesses can leverage the power of the internet.

Some internet business events focus on a single topic and may have only one speaker, while some seminars have different speakers with different specialties.

Keep an eye out for an internet business event to attend.

“The 2 day internet marketing seminar with Michael Leander is coming to Cairo. Organized by RJTulip from Cyprus in collaboration with Global Consultants, Cairo, the internet marketing seminar is an exciting opportunity for Egyptian marketers to learn how to leverage the internet.

Says Ron Joron, CEO of RJTulip: “With the fast growth of internet usage in Egypt, we are to bring this program to Cairo.

It is very likely that we will wish to repeat the internet marketing seminar in Cairo as well as bring it to other cities in the region”.”

Learn Internet Marketing From Real Experts

Author: Diane Corriette

When it comes to making money online the fastest way to get yourself over the initial learning curve, is to join a coaching or mentoring program that will provide you with the tools that you need to ensure your success.

Unfortunately, all the internet “experts” that talk about being able to offer you the best coaching package online are not always able to deliver on their promises. Being able to create success for yourself is one thing, but being able to replicate the materials that will show others how to create that success is an entirely different thing.

In the last 12 months a number of “learn internet marketing” coaching opportunities have appeared online and are being run by people who are not trained life coaches, mentors or teachers. They have the belief that their success somehow qualifies them to begin teaching someone else how to do it too. But learning success from a book or being inspired by the success story of someone, and actually being able to motivate and inspire an adult to learn something you are teaching is very different.

One of the first mentoring programs I embarked upon was with an experienced internet marketing company who charged over $6,000 and yet 6 months later, despite the promises and glossy paperwork that showed the 6 figure sums their past participants were all making, I had nothing to show for it (well not entirely true, I had acquired a lot of new found knowledge but still nothing to sell and I made no money). One of the things missing was the fact that I had no product, or any idea about what I wanted to do online, and despite being told that didn’t really matter, it actually did in the end.

My second coaching program with an experienced internet marketer proved to be more rewarding. The opportunity to connect with other people plus learn from some of the best internet marketing experts out there (I guess when you are well known you can pull in all your well known friends to help you out!) made a huge difference. This is still an ongoing program and taught me a lot about how to make money online but still lacked the structure needed to teach a complete business system. I was looking to build a business structure not just earn some money.

So when the opportunity arose to take part in a coaching program that was run by the very Life Coach who taught these internet marketing experts I jumped at the chance. Being quite clear that investing in this high end coaching program was an investment in the future of my business. I also understood that the only way to experience success is to learn from those who have already experienced success in that area – (well actually it’s not the only way, you could learn from making your own mistakes and take twice as long to experience results!). Plus, the added bonus was being coached by a qualified life coach, which for me only added to the excitement of joining.

What I was looking for was a way to build the internet structure that would run my business, not just make a few thousand dollars a month, but actually build a large company that is run by other people so I can spend my time travelling the world attending internet marketing events and bringing back what I had learnt to my team!

Many people are promised the dream of sitting on the beach while money pours into their bank account, and whilst this is possible, what they neglect to mention is the fact that it takes years to achieve, and even after achieving it you are still tied to a business that needs constant attention. Talk to any “overnight success” and they will paint the real picture for you of what it took to get them to that point. The more realistic dream is to look at building a business that is put together so that each part of your business adds value and revenue to your profit margin.

But joining these coaching programs is about so much more than just learning how to build a business, ultimately your success will depend on who you know, not what you know. You can have the best product in the world but if no one can find it then you will not be making many sales.

When you join an exclusive coaching program you will usually get access to the expert running it (if it is a decent program). They will want you to be one of their success stories so will go out of their way to help you. When you have a successful internet marketer promoting your product (if they offer that service) then people are more likely to take notice of you. You have invested in them by buying their services so they are more likely to invest their time in you by supporting you in whatever way possible.

It is important that when considering who you will be learning from you take a good look at what you will be taught and how. Forget promises on a web page, and instead focus on :

Can I actually interact with the person who is running the program?

Is it possible to earn revenue from referring the program to others?

What is the vision for all the members of this coaching program?

Are there joint venture opportunities available with other members?

What guarantees do they offer?

Do they offer the opportunity to promote your product?

Who have they successfully worked with in the past?

What resources are made available to you?

How much time commitment do you have to make to the program?

How quickly can you expect to see results if you consistently follow their program?

Are they dedicating all their time to teaching their clients or are they focused on other things?

All of these are important questions to consider when investing in a high end coaching program if you want to ensure your investment helps you create the profitable business you desire.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, learning from the experienced internet marketing experts who have successfully and consistently made their living online is an amazing experience. It saves you time, energy and money because you will not waste precious time (sometimes years) on working on something that doesn’t bring results. I highly recommend you invest in yourself and your business if you are serious about building a lifestyle that includes a profitable business.

Internet Marketing St Louis, April 2010

Being held in St Louis on 1 April (no foolin’) 2010, this event is designed over two streams to give the best and most easily digested information to people with different levels of expertise.

Saint Louis Internet Marketing Conference from techlh on Vimeo.

New for 2010 – Multiple Learning Tracks

Because of the growing number of attendees at the MarketSTL events, we are now offering two different tracks for our attendees. By offering these tracks, we hope to make the overall experience more pleasureable and conducive to learning and understanding the various facets of Internet Marketing.
Beginner Track

“This is for business owners who know they need a website, but aren’t sure why. They’ve heard of Facebook and Twitter, and aren’t sure how in the world their competitors are showing up in Google searches but they aren’t.
Advanced Track

Our advanced track will feature some more in-depth examples and sessions on various Internet-related areas. Attendees to this track are most likely already making money online with their website, but they need to understand in more detail some of the quirks and tips that our speakers have to offer. They also probably have a Twitter or Facebook account, but perhaps don’t understand how to leverage it.”
