Gorgeous and I spent this past weekend at SOBCon in Chicago. It was a tremendous weekend for the both of us.

This years event kept some of the best parts of SOBCon07 and yet was quite different in at least one key element, that of focus. Last year SOBCon was all about community with a little bit of marketing thrown in.

All About Business

This time around SOBCon was all about business. Sure there were several bloggers in the room whose focus was not on making money with their blogs. But having just made the break from corporate life to the entrepreneur world this year, Gorgeous and I were definately focused on business while we were in Chicago.

And we weren’t disappointed.

Still Made Connections

Just like last year we made new connections which will likely produce valuable exchanges to help mutually propel our various businesses forward.

It is interesting to me that the people I made strongest connection with were not the same folks that I set out to get to know. Because I set out with that intentionality I still met the people and started the relationships that may potentially be catalysts for growth in my business.

Is Internet Marketing Really Dead?

I just finished reading The Death of Internet Marketing (aff) by Mike Filsaime.

Mike is an internet marketing heavy hitter. He’s the guy that wrote Butterfly Marketing, so it seems he knows what he’s talking about.

In his latest free e-book he tells us why the way marketing has been done via the internet is not working anywhere near as well as it used to just a few short months ago and why the current methods are already gasping for breath.

The good news is Mike also shares some strategies that he feels will help us to succeed in the near future. Mike’s certainly right about one thing. The times, they are a changing!

The question is do you want to get left behind or adapt, overcome and go on to success?

But hey, don’t take my word for it. I heard about it from Mike Sigers over at Simplenomics who heard about it from Brian Clark at Copyblogger. Both of these guys are recommending you read this and they definitely know what they are talking about.

Mike Filsaime is willing to pay up to $2 per lead to build a double-opt in email list and he’s giving away some dynomite information in this free book to do it. He says he’s only offering the book for a short time, so do yourself a favor and download your free copy right now and learn a thing or two.

Enjoy!
