I’ve always been a huge believer/practitioner in networking since Day 1 and networking in the AM industry is not an exception.

Way too many people think AM is just about their 22 inch screen monitor and themselves sitting behind that monitor in their underwear on a day-to-day basis. Now that’s great and probably one of the benefits of being an internet marketer, but there is just so much more potential if you just go out there, meet, interact, share ideas, and grow from NETWORKING with people. This is especially true if you just LOVE the industry- why wouldn’t you want to meet more like-minded people and benefit from it at the same time?

I am serious when I say that going to Affiliate Summit West, not knowing a single other soul in the industry that I would see there other than a few people like Wes Mahler from Tracking202 on whom I had occasionally talked to on AIM (and who got me into the industry). Nonetheless, the people that I met there and hung out with all turned out to be really exceptional people and many of whom I remain in touch with today and consider friends. Some of the individuals I met at ASW include:

• Tangy
• Shoemoney
• MGrabowski
• Anthony D
• Brandon aka Ad Hustler
• Barman
• Robert Adler
• Beernuts
• Bryn Youngblut
• Ian Fernando
• Wes Mahler
• Lorne Fade
• Kyle Healey

It was great meeting these guys and I know I’ll see them again soon probably at ASE in New York, which I can’t wait for because hopefully by then I’ll be half as good at AM as they are.
