Recently, there’s a trend to broadcast live events via Ustream to those that can’t make it in person. This was certainly the case at JV Alert last week.
What the viewer at home doesn’t realize is 80% of the reason you go to an event is what happens between the sessions and at the end of the day. Truth is, it’s all about the networking!
I encourage you to get to an event. You learn about strategies that are working from the speakers – some you can use right away, others you store for a different phase of your business.
But between the sessions you can bounce ideas off others. It’s a great way to solidify what you’ve just learned – that “A-ha” or “Eureka” moment – before it loses steam.
During one of the panels in fact, one of the guys asked a question about his business. He received an answer. An hour later, he did some networking and research at the bar. 5 hours later, he had a sales page up. The next day he had about a dozen sales.
That’s how fast things can move at an event!
So here are a couple of videos that I made to give you a taste of life at an event. Enjoy!

p.s. I’m speaking at several events in the Spring: Tampa (April 17-20), Orlando (April 30-May 2), and Nashville (June 19-21). The one in Nashville has a great early bird rate already in place, PLUS a secret discount if you click the gold star at the bottom of the page (if it’s still there). Hope you can be at 1 or more of these events!

Bob,
As the principal Ustreamer of jvAlert Live, I am fortunate because I do get to build relationships with the people in the chat. Without those chats, an event would be no fun online.
With that said, I also make a point to tell people that you still can’t expect to get the full benefit of events until you meet the people in person. It wasn’t until I met you in person that I was sold on your personality and sincerity. Some things do not translate well online compared to meeting a person and actually talking to them. That is when the deal is sealed.
I really enjoy the people at events, it is the reason I go, to make new friends and to cement relationships I began online.
Thanks for being a great teacher, Bob!

I had seen Simon and friends do this at one of his Adwords Workshops, it was a big hit. Made me run down there the following day to say hi to all me friends!
It is all about networking and meeting those you have been connecting with online. Just adds more value to your relationship with them…
