There are many events that go on worldwide for affiliate marketers. Some are meant mostly for affiliates, such as the Affiliate Summit, but there are many others that go on throughout the year that can be helpful as well, such as Blog World Expo, Ad-Tech, and more.
Why should you consider going to some of these events? There are two really great reasons to do so.
- You can learn a lot. Many of these events have seminars, and you’ll get to hear from people who are successfully doing the things you’d like to to. Even if you’re already somewhat successful, there’s a good chance you’ll come away with something that you didn’t know before.
- You’ll get a chance to network. First of all, at some of these events you’ll get to talk to the affiliate managers and owners of some of the companies you deal with. Not only will you be able to talk to them and get your questions answered, but sometimes you’ll even be able to get a higher percentage payout!There’s also the chance to talk to other attendees of the events as well. This can be very helpful as you might be able to swap advice, or even get some of your questions about being an affiliate answered. Plus, you never know, you might end up partnering with some of the people you meet in the future!
There are all different types of events out there, and I really suggest taking the time to go to a few of them. Don’t worry that they’re all out of your price range. Some are quite inexpensive, and others are free. It depends on what they offer. I have been to a few events, and plan on going to more in the future.
