Which Conferences Do You Attend?

Just a quick post today but I’m really interested to know: which conferences in the internet marketing industry do you like the most? This may be surprising to some, but in the four years I’ve been active in this industry, I have yet to attend a single event.

I plan to change that later this year or early next, but the fact still remains, I’m a conference virgin. I’ve been looking around Conference Calendar which is a new creation by Al Carlton and wondering which ones would be the best. Some that have caught my attention include:

SMX
Wordcamp
Webmaster World
SEOmoz Pro Seminar
Think Visibility
Pubcon

and some others that I’ve probably missed off the list. If you’re already active in an industry and know most of what there is to know, is there still much benefit to conferences apart from (the obviously awesome) networking aspect of things?

Cloud Living: How I Generate a 5-Figure Monthly Income

Today I am very excited to announce the launch of Cloud Living. This is something I have been working on for the past few months and is finally complete. I’ve definitely enjoyed the process of putting this together but it is so much sweeter to have a finished result.

For those of you who don’t know, Cloud Living is the term I have ‘coined’ for the lifestyle that I live. I earn money from the Cloud (Internet) and make enough to be free from corporate slavery and literally do whatever I want. It is a lifestyle I had dreamed about and now, just like I did, I’m going to show you how to make it a reality.

Cloud Living Contents

The size of this project is huge and by far the biggest thing I have ever put together. I enlisted the services of a professional copywriter before launch to ensure the end result is a polished product.

The course mainly comes in eBook (PDF) format which you can open with Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download). More specifically, it contains:

176-page eBook
6 Tutorial Videos (ranging from 4-10 minutes in length)
A Free Affiliate Website Template
8-page Documentation Guide
100% Free Email Support

As you can probably tell, this wasn’t just some project that was put together in a rush. I’ve spent countless hours on this and the finished result contains everything you need to know about how I generate a 5-figure monthly income online and built a blog with 4,000 subscribers in less than one year.

Blogging Blueprint Reviews

In my last post I shared with you all the blogging blueprint. The blueprint was my free, 69-page guide to building a successful blog (something I feel I have done on multiple occasions). Some of you may recall that in the announcement posts I promised to link to anybody who wrote a review of the book.

Quite a few came in that I wish to share with you today. Hopefully you will not only see some honest reviews of the eBook but you’ll come across some sites that you enjoy.

Free eBook Revealing My Blogging Secrets

Hey everyone. I know that my posts here have been very sporadic, but that’s mostly because I have been working on a new venture. Almost one year ago (11 months) I launched a new website called PluginID. The aim of the site was to share my adventures from South Africa and to help people realise they could live the life they want to live (something I did when I was over there).

Since launch, the site has received tremendous growth and now has over 3,500 subscribers. That is more than I managed to build for this site in 3 years and more than I possibly imagined I could build. I’m enjoying myself so much writing about the topic that I just want to keep going.

The Definitive Guide to StumbleUpon

There are a lot of guides out there on StumbleUpon that are quite in-depth and detailed. However, the majority of these guides are a few years old and in the social media space that is quite an eternity. I’ve wrote a few articles on StumbleUpon myself, such as analysing the top 50 users and even an interview with a top stumbler.

With this guide, however, I want to share more information on the site than I ever have before, a guide not just for marketers but anyone who wants to get the most out of the great service. That could be a lot of people, seeing as my ’spy’ access into StumbleUpon’s statistics tell me they now have 7.5 million active users.
