Hi Dominique,
Sorry I missed your speech on Black Hat SEO at CAC. I will go in and read about it at your site.
As to your money’s worth from the Conference .. I agree with everyone else here .. wonderful networking opportunities .. GREAT people .. REALLY good food !
Actually, what I find most helpful is that after attending .. hearing all the speeches .. talking to others in the industry, etc., I come away feeling really inspired and motivated.
The creative juices start surging through my brain and I get all sorts of things done ! As a result I always see an increase in my income.
So my advice to those who wonder whether or not it is worth it ..
If you are making $2000 a month now .. after attending the conference you will begin making $3000 a month and then $4000.
By the time you attend the next conference you will come away even more inspired, and with more knowledge, and your income will see another increase to $5000 and then $6000.
Those in the industry who are making the BIG bucks didn’t start out at that level .. but it is certainly attainable ! However, to reach that level takes some time and a lot of knowledge.
You can easily increase your knowledge as much as you want by constantly reading stuff on the Internet .. in the forums, etc.
But, by attending conferences you can gain more knowledge in a couple of days than you can in reading all the stuff in the forums for several months.
PLUS, you make new friends and have a really nice time! .. :1Dialog:
So get out your Visa card and attend the next conference! I guarantee you will be able to pay off your Visa charges in no time with all you new found knowledge.
