Attending NAMS

Hard to believe it's been almost two weeks since I attended the NAMS (Niche Affiliate Marketing System) workshop in Atlanta. I hadn't intended to go, since affiliate marketing isn't really my thing. Then I found out it was going to be a hands-on workshop involving a number of things to do with Internet Marketing. So at the last minute, I hopped on a bus and rode for 24 hours to get there. I know, a flight would have been so much better, but last minute was too expensive. I did fly home though.

Anyway, Friday started slowly as we all got used to the routine and to one another. By Saturday morning I felt that it was worth the long bus trip just for what I'd done up to that point. The workshops and the networking were top notch. One of my favorite sessions was the group panel that created an info product on the spot.

About 20 of us from Lynn Terry's Elite forum attended and spent many enjoyable hours on the patio together each evening. Lynn even had a special Elites only reception for us one night. And other NAMS attendees were sure wishing they could attend. We wined (or coffeed) and dined (on fruit platters and desserts) and generally enjoyed being together.

Lynn has opened membership to the Elites for a limited time if you're interested. We're like a big supportive family helping one another to achieve success online. Along with a weekly private webinar, we post our week's action steps to keep us accountable. The forum itself is a place to brainstorm and gain helpful input without fear that your ideas will be taken. Membership in Lynn Terry's Elite Forum is one of the best online decisions I've ever made.

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...

Jet Lag and NAMS 4

Okay, it wasn't a jet, but I did take a 747 to NAMS. And yes, I've been back for a week now. But it takes me a while to recover so you won't get all the juicy details for a bit longer yet. All I can say is I took loads of notes, hung out with some amazing people, and wish they didn't live so far away. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the sessions with Bob 'The Teacher' Jenkins, Karon Thackston, and Kathleen Gage. Of course all of the presenters were great, but those three I got the most from. And I had a 15 minute consultation with Mark Hendricks as well. The last NAMS I didn't think I had anything to discuss with him, but this time I forced myself to sign up. I was super nervous, but he was very easy to talk to, and he actually liked my idea for a membership site. I'll talk more about that another time. Once I get my notes organized, I'll give you my top ten takeaway points. Now the challenge is to do them, not stay in learning mode. So ...

Using a Virtual Assistant - What Could YOU Delegate?

At some point, we all realize we can't do everything ourselves. When that happens, it's time to start thinking about hiring the services of a Virtual Assistant. My life has been so much easier since I started working with my VA. She does all the techie things I can't do, keeps me on track, motivates me when I get discouraged. If you're wondering how outsourcing could help you, here are some of the tasks that can be delegated to a VA: * Responding to customer e-mails and phone calls * Scheduling business and personal appointments and interviews * Bookkeeping: invoicing clients, receiving and paying bills, reconciling bank statements,  tracking expenses     and tax records, working with your accountant * Internet research and fact checking * Planning travel for speaking engagements and seminars * Maintaining newsletter and customer mailing lists * Managing website and newsletter ad sales * Handling registrations for teleclasses and workshops * Maintainin...
