Jaw dropping scenery; fantastic food; clean, fresh air so cool you don’t need an air conditioner in the summer…and one of the biggest collections of super-savvy Internet marketing pros on earth.
But as much as I like the scenery and the fact the weather’s so nice, I really came to spend time with the Internet folks who live here…
Why Vancouver rocks
Vancouver is such a rich source of Internet know-how that I brought a group of my best students here for a very small, very private invitation-only meeting so that they could experience them first hand.
One Day One, James Martell joined us. For my money, James is the best educator on earth on how to create high quality content for the web. And he just gets better and better.
James showed us how he combines blogging with article marketing and forums to create “magnet” sites that attract masses of high quality traffic.
Most impressive of all, he showed us how he recruits top quality writers to work for him for extremely reasonable fees.
The real SEO secret
On Day Two, the legendary Michael Campbell joined us.
There are two kinds of people in the SEO world: 1) Internet marketers who don’t know Michael’s work and 2) Internet marketers who keep Michael as their “secret weapon.”
Michael’s been involved in Internet marketing at a high level since 1994 and before that he worked in publishing and advertising. If there’s a sharper guy in our field, I haven’t met him yet. A huge portion of what I know that works in SEO originated with him. Honest SEO experts will tell you the same thing.
Entrepreneurs and educators
In addition to building their own low overhead/high profit small businesses, James and Michael are superb educators. It’s a big part of the reason why Vancouver is chock full of super Internet marketers today. The city is so rich in talent it could very well be the #1 city on earth for entrepreneurial Internet marketing smarts.
One city that gives Vancouver a run for its money is London. It’s another place where you find deeply experienced, highly knowledgeable Internet marketers who share what they know without hype.
If you missed Vancouver…
I’m going to be in London in late September working with some of my favorite Internet marketers there:
- Ben Jesson and Karl Blanks of Conversion Rate Experts, one of the only Google-certified consulting groups in Europe, and
- Mark Attwood, a former RAF pilot, who used the Internet to grow his business to over eight million pounds a year (that’s over $10 million US) in a few short years.
Unlike the Vancouver meeting which was private and by invitation only, the upcoming London event is open to the public (however, attendance is limited to 79 participants.)
In my ideal world, I’d rearrange the earth to put Vancouver, London, and New York (where I live) right next to each other, but when I want to hang out with top Internet talent I’m happy to jump on a plane and get myself there.
