Some people have asked what can be learned by attending The World Internet Summit.

Well, actually quite a lot. But here’s something from my own experience …

… I sent out an email last week. The next morning I had $185 in my commission account. Total time spent - 10 minutes. I did the same thing again on Thursday just gone. So far the commissions have been $325, and it’s still rising. Again, it only took 10 minutes.

How would you like to earn over $500 for 20 minutes work?

Now I’m not telling you all this to brag. It’s just that I learned an important lesson whilst at the event.

You see, I’d already built a list in a particular niche. How did I do this? I’ll tell you in another post soon, I promise. The important thing to know is that my list isn’t that big.

BUT, I’ve always been concerned about emailing too often. And so, with that, or perhaps because I’m a little lazy (hey, how lazy do you have to be to not spend 20 minutes tapping away at a keyboard??!), I ended up not emailing at all.

But that’s just it. If you email TOO often, you might lose some customers, or you might not. Either way, you’ll be in a better position to earn some commission had you not emailed. And if you don’t email at all, then your list will become stale, and people will unsubscribe as soon as you do email them.

Overall, you’re better off sending emails rather than not sending emails.

It’s a valuable lesson to learn.

So, even if I learned nothing else over those four days, I learned enough to earn myself $500 for twenty minutes work.

Now be honest, wouldn’t you attend The World Internet Summit if you knew you’d earn some money as soon as you got home?
