Last month I went into New York City for a 30 Day Challenge meet-up. It was a fun way to get together with other 30DCers to network and get to know each other. One of the drawbacks to working online is the solitary aspect of it. You are usually the only one doing you know marketing online, and it can be tough finding anyone to talk to about this thing we do.

It was fun & I had a great time. One of the benefits of this meet-up was Ed Dale was going to be there. It was an added benefit. This was my 2nd year with the 30DC and getting the opportunity to meet the founder of the challenge was too much to pass up.

Ed of course can found at the Thirty Day Challenge. He also has a blog, which is a great study in brand marketing at Tubby Nerd.

Now, the big surprise was Ed had arrange for a special guest to show up to the meet-up. He happen to be traveling in the US, and was in New York City that night. It was none other than Yaro Starak.

This was exciting for me because Yaro was the 1st blogger I started following. I used his Blog Profits Blueprint to set up my 1st blog. So, it was cool to get to meet who was so instrumental in my blogging. You can find Yaro at his blog Entrepreneurs Journey, and if you opt-in to his email list you can get a copy of the Blog Profits Blueprint.

Two things to take away from this post…

1. Get out to these networking meetings – It’s fun to be around like minded people, and to socialize. You would be surprised who you might meet.

2. Make sure to bring your camera – I use to not take my camera, and missed out on some opportunities to get my picture taken with some of these folks.

Hope to see you around at some future seminars or meet-ups.
