Hey all,

Now your are probably wondering first of all what live event I attended?  It was the LFMpire workshop in Bristol, UK held by Robert Puddy & Donna Fox.

The are a few of reasons why I attended this event.

1:  Jani G & Jonny Andrews both said in January “make it your no. 1 priority for 2010 to attend as many live events as you can”.  Two very cool guys I got to meet in person which is quite overwhelming considering how successful they are online.

2:  I am on Robert Puddy’s list so I actually realised there are affordable events to attend close to home. “Always thought they cost thousands to attend & were outside the UK”

3:  I am not the most self confident person so knew that it would boost my confidence.

4:  I have been running round in circles chasing shiny objects online thinking there’s a magic button to make fast cash so wanted to learn where I have been going wrong.

So what was the outcome?

I learnt a great deal from all the speakers that were there such as Donna Fox, Robert Puddy, Omar Martin, Martin Avis, Simon Leung, Jonny Andrews, Ambar Hamid, Sterling Valentine & Jani G.

I also made friends with a lot of people who could possibly be my future business partners.  Some are in the same situation as me & others are already making a full time income online.  Guess what a lot of them have even offered to help me make my successful online business.  Just for that one reason it was worth attending the event.

The speakers all have their own system in place to make a full time income online.  Some aren’t even techie guys & Martin Avis works 2 hours a week just writing emails.  So are you wondering who does the things they can’t?  They outsource to the people that can.

I thought to make a successful online business you have to master all the different methods such as PPC, SEO, CPA, List Building, Traffic & so on.

How wrong was I?  You need to concentrate on 3 things.

The first thing you must do is get a system in place to build your list of customers just like any offline business.  I’m not going to tell you the moneys in the size of the list like everyone else because it’s the relationship with the list which is key.

So the second is building the relationship with your list which you can do by giving away free gifts that will help them with their online business.  Also offer them support & interact with them as much as you can.

The third thing which is the main reason why most of you & me alike are doing this is money.  Now I am trying to make a full time income not so I can go out & buy the most expensive cars, clothes, watches etc.  It’s so I have the freedom to enjoy the things I like doing most in life like snowboarding to name a few.  I love to get the adrenaline pumping.

So when we start to make money & build a list what next?

We can then master one of the methods I mentioned above & outsource the rest.  Or you could just outsource all of it it’s entirely up to you but don’t make the mistake I did & think you have to master all the methods.

I want to share some more photos I had with the speakers.

So to finish off my advice is to attend as many live events as you can as you never know who you are going to meet.

In my next post I will share with you my goals for the year & some advice as to how you can achieve yours.

Comments are much appreciated
