DAY 1

I actually went to a Geekversity seminar today (2 day event and for FREE) – it was about internet marketing and it was great! They started off with a really creative video presentation about some important facts about technology and continued with some incredibly useful and practical information all related to the "internet space" or the world wide web.

The internet space is continually evolving and growing in size, thus making the world a much smaller and more accessible market – they really teach you how to capitalise on this and its very hands-on training, which i truly love!

Today, we began to learn about affiliate marketing and how to leverage various social media communication channels, but the most i got out of today is the:

Geekversity Success Formula

     1.  Research
     2.  Products
     3.  Traffic
     4.  ROI

There’s more great topics planned for tomorrow’s agenda. Our homework assignment even has the potential to generate real money too – can’t wait to apply it!


Anyway, I’ve added a link so you can take a look at the Geekversity site.
These Geeks rock!
 

More news tomorrow after my sunday seminar (2nd day) -- looking forward to it... can't sleep and just thinking about all the possibilities!!

DAY 2 (Final Day)

I thought Day 1 was fantastic. Today was even more amazing!

There was so many ideas to learn and take action from. Some of the key things that come to mind right now are:
 

  *  Conversion/Traffic
          - Clear Call to Action
          - One Action Per Page
          - Optimise

  *  Types of Traffic - this was very interesting we learn't many many types of traffic from FREE to paid i.e. Social, Email, PR/News, Backlinks and Paid

  *  Cost of Traffic

  *  One of the more important key thoughts was a couple of points from Geekversity's Mission which shows the true integrity of the Geeks! :) 
          - "Empower people through online education" and
          - "Share the knowledge we have."   ......I love it!!

  * The highlight for me personally for today, would be Ian's brief advance Social Media strategies like (really sorry Troy, you still did a great job today):

          - Social Media Trifecta i.e. Blog, Twitter and Social Book Marking
          - Retwit
          - Twinfluence
          - Tweetmeme
          - Tweeteffect
          - Polldaddy
 

The 2 day event was unforgetable and i truly recommend it to anyone. Can't wait for them to come back to Melbourne! So all you readers out there, if they are coming to a city near you please have an open mind and truly see for yourself how much you can leverage from there Internet Market Knowledge!! You can see the upcoming events at Geekversity site.

Oh one more thing....Troy i truly appreciate you signing the book i won yesterday by Kurek Ashley - How would Love Respond, so far it has been an awesome read!

As you noted...I will be surely Joining the Revolution and Unleashing my inner geek!  :D
