Earn1KADay Summit has reinvigorated me.  I’m full of fire to get back to my blogging.  Even more, I’m determined to get to working on not just studying marketing in order to help my clients, but to building out my own money making sites.

I always like going to the first-ever of a seminar or conference series.  There’s something special about the energy that first time.  This one was no exception.

One person remarked to me that she saw more networking going on in one evening than had taken place in the last two years of a local group she’d been going to.  I agree, except for some reason, “networking” sounds cold to me.  It was more like meeting friends.

It could be that a lot of the ease of meeting people had to do with us knowing each other from the Earn1KADay forum.  But that wasn’t all of it, because there were several people who’d never been to the forum.  Of course, I think most of them will be joining soon.

I followed a few simple rules of thumb to make the summit a success for me:

• Don’t just hang out with the first couple people I meet.
• Don’t be shy, walk up to people I want to meet and introduce myself.  Invite myself along on outings.
• Try hard to remember and use names.
• Be helpful.

It worked.  I met so many great people, and made some contacts I just know will become fast friends and business partners as we move forward.
