How to rub elbows with the gurus

Are you ready to stand out?

Back in April, I headed out to San Diego for Frank Kern’s Mass Control 2 event. As you can see from the photo, I was able to look like a complete fool, but at the same time, got to meet the man himself.

Anyone that is looking to getting into Internet Marketing always asks the best way to get recognized and get in with the “gurus”.

The very best way is simply go to these events. Sure, some cost money, but many are free.

For instance, The Mass Control 2.0 Conference was free when you purchased Mass Control.  Yes, the was a $1997 price tag attached to the product. However, not only did I receive a ton of value from the course, the opportunity to network with big name is tremendous.

Here’s an example. As a result of traveling to San Diego, I was able to meet and hang out with several well known industry leaders. In passing, they asked what I was doing, what I sold and how it was working for me.  I told them. Nothing more. The result was that these guys were responsible for selling about $17,000 worth of my product, all by themselves.

So, how did I get them to sell my stuff? Simple, I didn’t ask them to. Instead, I asked them what I could sell of theirs. I was just hanging out being myself.

Bottom line, go to these networking events, meet people. Offer to help the gurus. Show them you can do something for them and they will do something in return (Most times).

Upcoming Events in Vegas

Next week I’m heading to Launch Tree Live to see some of the industry’s greatest marketers speak. People like Frank Kern, Mike Filsaime, Anik Singal, Armand Morin, Stephen Pierce, Maria Andros, Mike Morgan and Perry Belcher.

Those are just the speakers. The other people that are likely to be at this event are huge. And that’s when you get your opportunity.

Not your opportunity to lurk, follow and stalk them. But instead, introduce yourself, find out what they are working on, how you can promote their stuff, what you can do to help them. Be sincere and be ready to take action.  You’re likely to be surprised at the response you’ll get from them.

Next week I’ll be posting plenty of updates, pictures and recording some videos with some of the people I’m meeting out there. If you’re around and see me, make sure you stop by and say hi.
