As Vegas is coming around the corner it’s become built up more and more and I am becoming more and more depressed. Unfortunately I can’t make it because of a number of reasons. Mainly I can’t miss 5-6 classes since the semester just started and secondly I’m not 21 yet so kind of pointless from what I hear. On the bright side, I will be making it next year since I will be 21 and after I hear how awesome it was from Richard and Ryan I won’t be able to resist I’m afraid.

If you are going, hopefully you’ll be spending more time learning and networking more than you do on the craps table but I can’t say I blame you if that’s the case. Regardless of what you spend most of your time doing while there, I would definitely recommend attending the PPV Mastermind Group meeting that’s being held on Sunday for three whole hours. Justin Dupre and Dave from PPVPlaybook will be conducting the group and after checking out what kind of information both of them have been spilling on their blogs and forums, it’s going to be a very valuable session. We’ve done PPV marketing off and on for a couple of months now but we certainly have room to improve judging by the content/tips I’ve found especially on Dave’s membership site. The cost for the group is $450 – $500 but, as you can see from the agenda posted on both of their blogs, the plan is to make that back very shortly and I would consider it a very wise investment. The thing about these conferences, if you’ve never been to one before, I find that people are much more willing to give out more specific tips, secrets, and other information since you are face-to-face. Maybe having alcohol in the equation helps loosen lips but I can tell you this type of meeting will be much more beneficial than just browsing and hitting up people randomly and asking questions through email/IM most of the time.

I know Richard and Ryan are going to try to make it to the PPV Mastermind meeting and I also know I speak for them when I say that they would love to meet any and all of our readers that attend Affiliate Summit so just hit us up and we will buy you a couple of drinks.
