Getting The Attention Of The Gurus

Your first priority when approaching Internet Marketing experts is to be respectful of their time. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be persistent only that you shouldn’t be unprepared, unorganized, or uninformed. This is a terrible way to solicit a potential partnership.

It’s also a good idea if they have at least heard of you before you approach them with a joint venture proposal. So how do you get noticed among the noise of the ‘net?

Internet Marketers are generally sociable people. They make their fortunes by dealing with other people. Whether it is creating products that other people want or developing a knack for selling the products that others have created, the top Internet Marketers deal with people daily.

Where do they find these people?

Internet Marketing gurus find their customers in many of the same places that you find yours. If you haven’t begun finding customers you will want to take a break from your efforts here and put some effort into building your own Internet Marketing skills. Once you’ve done that you will have something to bring to the table when proposing joint ventures.

Getting back to where the big name marketers go to meet people and find customers, you may be surprised. The invention of Web 2.0 has brought about a new era in Internet Marketing. It has opened doors for marketing and networking wider than ever before.

With so many great networking opportunities it is a good idea to explore quite a few of them and how you can use these opportunities to really rub elbows – at least in the virtual sense – with some of the best and brightest Internet Marketers in the business.
A great place to meet fellow marketers is at a Seminar or Workshop. Meeting someone in this way is far better as you can actually “connect” with someone a whole lot easier when you can walk up to them shake their hand, buy them a drink and sit down together to discuss Internet Marketing.

There are so many seminars in the USA and the UK. Other countries do have seminars but not quite on the scale of these two. Search the Net and you will find plenty, but as a guide you can try:

Big Seminar
JV Alert
World Internet Summit
Focus Marketing Seminars

A friendly bit of advice… When you go to these seminars, don’t just go to the presentations, mix with people in the breaks and then think that’s all there is to it. The best networking will be done late into the evenings at the hotel bar. This is where the business is done. This is where you’ll meet someone who knows someone who in turns knows someone you want to be introduced to. Its all about connections and introductions, and the people you get talking to in the bar is by far the best place to get a head-start.

If you regularly attend seminars, people will get to know your face (and your name), and then people will quickly get to know what your products are, what your assets are, what connections you have etc. Don’t think of it as simply who do you know, but also who knows you. The more appearances you make, the more people will remember you and be far more responsive to any possible JV relationship.
