I attended the Atlanta StomperNet Live conference over the weekend, so I thought I’d write up some articles about what I considered the best content at the event.
What is StomperNet?
If you’re not familiar with StomperNet, it is a membership-based, distance learning portal started by Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins in Oct 2006. Members pay a monthly fee of about $800/month to access the content, forums, and live events. The benefits are that you interact with a number of other like-minded professionals who are trying to improve their website conversions and sales.
Members have access to all sorts of great videos by well respected internet marketing mavens. For instance, Dan Thies and Leslie Rohde teach about search engine optimization. Sherman Hu and Dave Taylor teach about blogging. Jerry West teaches about affiliate marketing, and so on. Most of these videos teach you step by step how to get started marketing your website with each of these different tactics.
In addition, there are weekly group calls lead by Stompernet faculty members to answer questions about the best ways to grow an internet business.
For those who don’t yet have an online business or website, Stompernet has the SIMPLE track which walks newbies step by step through the stages of launching a business. Personally, I don’t think Stompernet is for the absolute beginner, as it’s too easy to become overwhelmed with all the content they offer.
What Was Covered at StomperNet Live?
As with any conference, there were some sessions I felt were better than others, so here are my notes and comments from some of the speakers – and how you might use some of this information to improve your business.
- David Bullock on Increasing the Response to an Ad
- Andy Edmonds on Website Conversion
- Jerry West on Protecting Your Business
- Michael Stebbins on Web Analytics
- Jeff Walker on Product Launches
This is the first of several conferences I’ll be attending in the next month. I’m headed up to NYC for the Future of Online Advertising conference in NYC June 7-8. If you’re interested in attending, you can save 10% with this promo code: 10p3rc. I’ll be doing a podcast next week covering highlights of the event.
Then, in July, I’ll be attending Rich Schefren’s Acceleration seminar in Delray Beach, FL. Rich has some fantastic speakers like Jay Abraham(!) and Jeff Walker. It should be fun.
