I just returned from my journeys abroad and cannot wait to share the experiences and marketing lessons with you.

This year I presented at The System Intensive, the longest running Internet Marketing Seminars in the World. Ken McCarthy, a friend and mentor, invited me to give a one hour presentation on Affiliate Marketing.

I must confess that I had not planned on making the trip to London. To do so meant that my wife and I had to cut short our Italian vacation.

Plus, getting to London was no easy task. It meant that we had to leave the tiny 12 mile Island of Capri the day before the seminar to make it in time for my presentation. We took no less than 5 different modes of transportation to make it there on time including a bus, a boat, car, airplane, and several trains.

However, we ultimately arrived late into London, exhausted, but just in time to get 4 hours of sleep before the next morning’s presentation.

Let me tell you it was worth the effort.

The presentation was much appreciated by the audience which included business owners, multi-millionaires, and individuals considered to be pioneers in the online marketing circles. I decided to speak about my story, how I got my start, who we work with, and the most important advice I would give to somebody getting their start with an affiliate website.

After the event we all had dinner which went late into the evening with conversation about business, the Internet, and our goals for the next few months. I met some really interesting people including Mike Mindel, the creator of Word Tracker. I also met Marc Attwood. Marc took a break even business and used his websites to turn it into an 8-figure per year business (this means his business makes more than 10 million dollars per year).

I also got to spend more time with Greg Davis, an affiliate marketer in a league of his own. (Greg makes about $50,000 per day from his affiliate websites). Greg shared with me his latest websites and the product he believes is going to be the next big affiliate product.

Overall, it was well worth the trip. I took home some new marketing lessons and newfound inspiration. Specifically, I learned that you should always pursue information and knowledge with great enthusiasm. Had I been lazy, and not made the effort to attend the seminar, I would missed out on invaluable networking, public speaking experience, and marketing secrets (which I intend to share with you during the coming weeks and months).

Any successful entrepreneur will tell you the value in seeking knowledge. That is why any efforts to educate yourself by way of books, seminars, conversations, experiences, and mentorship, ALWAYS pays dividends.

The old saying: “You don’t know what you don’t know” is especially true with affiliate marketing.
Here’s to pursuing knowledge and achieving success.
