So, Who Do You Know?
WHO you know”.
If you do any kind of business on line - especially in the
Internet Marketing niche - then this really becomes more
important.
I’m not suggesting that one can’t “make it” on their own
just by having great products, super support, etc. Sure
it’s possible. Many people make a living on line this way.
What I am suggesting is how much it helps to know people
in this niche. I have often written about how my own
success was catapulted after I met Mike Filsaime. He is
one that has opened many doors for me. Others have too
but Mike is the “high profile” one 
.
It’s opened doors to JV’s, other marketers, customers and
many other people and opportunities.

Unsolicited Testimonial for You Cant Block This:
“I have just downloaded “You Can’t Block This!” Version 2
and I must tell you that I am awed! Is there any Website
Advertising Method on this Planet that is NOT implemented
in your Software?…”

Here’s another example…
Another friend today hooked me up with Marc Quarles. If you
don’t know who Marc is, he is the programming genius for
some of the most successful products for some of the biggest
names in this niche.
Remember Armand Morin’s Directory Generator? Yep. That was
Marc. He now partners with Jason Potash in Portal Feeder. Now
he’s in my rolodex. AND he’s a super down-to-earth nice guy!
So what’s my point? No, not a new product by Marc. I am
simply trying to illustrate how important making contacts in
this niche (or ANY niche for that matter) can be for your
success. And to tell you that it’s not impossible for YOU to
make some of the same types of contacts.
Seminars is an obvious way. But you know how that is…the
price of a typical seminar is several hundred to several
thousand dollars not including airfare, food, lodging as well
as entertaining.
If you can afford to go… GO! Forget all the crap you hear
about these events being “pitch fests”. Who cares? In fact…
leave your credit cards in the hotel room during the event
so you don’t buy stuff!
Go for the networking. This alone has been responsible for
generating tens of thousands of dollars in revenue for me.
And has filled my cell phone address book with so many top
level marketers…
Can’t afford to go? Ok, there’s other ways. One thing I have
been doing for the last year and a half is arranging a
Saturday lunch networking event (aka NY Warrior Lunches). In
fact, I have one scheduled for this Saturday.
Side note: If ou live in the NY/NJ/PA/CT area, feel free to
join us. It’s Saturday, August 11 at about noon at the
Sheraton Hotel in East Rutheford, NJ. You can Google it for
the directions…
Anyway, how can you tell who’s in your area? Well, a few ways
that I have tried…
- Look for a MeetUp group in your area. Never heard of MeetUp?
Go To http://www.meetup.com and sign up. Look for Business
and Entrepreneur meetups in your area. Or start one. This is
a free service. You can make some incredible connections here!
- The Warrior Forum: http://www.warriorforum.com/forum
Simply put up a post with a title like: “Any Warriors In The
XXXXXXXX Area? Lets Have Lunch!” That’s how I started mine.
My lunches have grown from 6 to 36 people (the last one) and
shaping up to be more at this one.
Side Note: Here’s a tool that Robert Plank created to help
you find Warriors in your area (by Zip Code):
http://www.robertplank.com/warriors/
You need to sign up, but it’s free. It’s not a complete list
of Warriors in your area but you may be surprised at who you
fin living close by.

When you go to a networking event - whether it’s a seminar or
a simple lunch - bring plenty of business cards and be prepared
to meet new people. The potential for making friends, partners
and JV deals is incredible!
There’s power in numbers. Sitting alone behind your computer
may be nice and quiet…but getting out and meeting people
can change your business and change your life. Did for me

I do not know any marketers other than through the internet.
I would like to go to an event to learn from people who are doing this right
