Me and the family went to Southern California to visit a few friends that moved there a few years ago.  I know, I know, adtech was going on 7 hours north of where we were. I REALLY wanted to be there. I thought about driving up and spending a few days but I have two little girls and one bigger petite girl that wouldn’t be happy if I left our annual family vacation for a few days. I talked to Jonathan Volk before I left about getting the audio and video from the conference. Jon and David from PPV Playbook spoke about Facebook advertising and PPV marketing. Not sure whether there will be any audio or video out there to buy or watch, I’ll be keeping an eye out for it though. I’m sure there was some great information being given out.

We hit San Diego for a weekend and Vegas for a weekend. Wow, is the weather out there nice! Everyday it was 75-80 degrees with clear blue skies. Vegas was even hotter, as expected. Close to 90 one of the days. I’d never been to Vegas so I was a Vegas virgin. I did get to see the Palms hotel from a distance.  A hotel that has hosted many affiliate marketing “events” over the past few years. My goal is to be one of those affiliates that either attends an event or summit or is invited to speak. I am hoping the latter. That’s my goal. I want to be able to help others and become a Jonathan Volk like icon. Not for the fame, but just as a re-assurance that I am making progress and that I can offer to help others with confidence. As I said earlier in my blog, I’ve been reading and reading for too long. I am going to invest in my business and move forward. Either I spend a lot of money, fail and move on, or I spend a lot of money, succeed at my goal of doing this full time and dive into this industry full tilt.

Back to work.
