A big thanks to everyone that showed up yesterday!
Affiliate marketing & mobile advertising
Thanks to Mark, we all had a master class in affiliate marketing and explained in simple terms (although I was confused for the most part) the in and outs and gave us some great tips on how to utilise these.

Ha ha, no problem it took me long enough to learn what we discussed

Are there any super affiliates on Fastlane Forum, perhaps in the U.S?

I recommend signing up for Stackthatmoney.com for more in depth guides etc Best $80 a month I've spent!

 

[geekboy]

Great to meet you all and good to meet some people with similar aspirations.

Could be up for another meet in a few months to see how everyone's getting on. Don't want to see anyone stuck in the idea phase!

 

[GSF]

Was good meeting and getting to know you all on saturday, look forward to doing again soon. @ChrisJTurner nice summary sounds like I missed out at the end!

A big thanks to everyone that showed up yesterday!

I really enjoyed the meeting and its was great to hear other perspectives about business.
I didnt get much sleep last night as I lay awake thinking about all the stuff that we covered.

What I learnt, in no particular order of importance.

Accountability
How we all need that kick up the backside to keep us all on track.
Yes, next meeting I WILL be holding you all accountable for you progression

Affiliate marketing & mobile advertising
Thanks to Mark, we all had a master class in affiliate marketing and explained in simple terms (although I was confused for the most part) the in and outs and gave us some great tips on how to utilise these.

Web design fundamentals
We all agreed in unison that in order to learn everything to do with coding, would detract focus from other aspects of business.
Though, important to understands the frameworks of design and back-end.

E-commerce
Some great advice given here about the various different aspects of ecommerce with a view on how to penetrate various markets throughout the world.
Given that this is the space that I want to occupy, it was great to have uncomfortable questions thrown at me about my business, so I will be taking time to lay out plan and hopefully have some definitive answers next time.
Ade also had some interesting insights on how he wanted to serve the customer in different ways through his platform.

Freedom & family is very important.
Gregg really brought it home to me the importance of this and has forced me to question on how I move forward with my relationships in the future.
I'm guilty of being selfish in this department but just listening to Gregg brought some home truths to me.

Focus
Great conversation with Alex on focusing on my goals and really just nailing what I am doing now. Also fm some great insights on who I should be looking at other avenues to generate revenue.

Philosophy
Gregg you really missed out on a great conversation here.
We spoke about the meaning of life and the definition of purpose.
I'd always leaned towards stoicism but the conversation yesterday has forced me to question my purpose. Very thought provoking.
Best conversation of the day!

London has the best F*cking burgers in the world!
Trendy yet scruffy part of town produced the best burger i have ever tasted.

There is much more I have missed here but I am looking forward to the next one!

Thanks guys

I'm not far from London - would love to make it to the next meet. Any provisional dates in mind?

 

[D11FYY]

London Meeting June 19th or 20th? gives everyone notice plus time to book travel in advance.

If we get more than 3 more forumers up for the meeting I will book flights before the weekend.

 

[kaqm]

Hey everyone, back on the forum at last! Sounds like you all had a good time at the last meet up, I'll make sure I'm at the next one and will look into June 19th/20th.

20th June is a Saturday, I will be at work as I work 1 in 3 Sat, but could do Sunday 21st, or another weekend. I'll keep an eye on this thread

 

[ChrisJTurner]

Hey guys

Sorry I haven't been around lately, life happens and you know how it is, few weeks later, you wonder where its gone.

I hope everyone is doing well and that everyone who came to the last meet has been working on their project.
There is enough support on this forum to facilitate a move in the right direction (somehow not taking my own advice).

Ok, i'm pretty stacked for June time so I guess anyone who wants to meet before then, are free to organise.

However, I can make myself available for the end of July, maybe 25th/26th July.
In terms of location, I am pretty open, just as long as its central to train stations and/or parking to allow people to arrive timely.
I think maybe the next location should allow for extra seating and offer food, so we can snack and feel comfortable.

Anyone interested in 25th/26th July?
London... Manchester... Birmingham?

 

[geekboy]

Yeah could be up for 25/26th July - Manchester/Birmingham would be better for me if that suits others

Manchester would be great.

I'm a commercial lawyer by trade, so could give some useful tid-bits!

 

[kaqm]

Hi Everyone,

Who's interested in a London meetup in September/October? I can arrange.

Cheers

 

[PureA]

Dependant on dates, I could be around for late October

Do you know which dates you can do at the moment? As far as I know, any weekend in October is good for me.

 

[Mass]

I'm based in North. Let me know when and I'll be there.

 

[The Wall]

Sounds good and I'm on the same page as @kaqm

Hi

I'm in London the weekend of the 30-31st October if anything is going on ?

 

[Jata]

I'm based in Cardiff but would be happy to travel down. Is there a Facebook group? Might make arranging a meetup a bit easier

 

[JoeBloggs]

I live in central London and would be happy to meet up with like-minded people. Please let me know if anyone is planning a catch up this side of Christmas.

Thanks.

[5holiday]

I'm down

 

[GMJimmy]

I'm in central London 3-4 times a week, weekdays only. Would be happy to meet you. Lunch? Or after work? (yes, I have a job)

 

[D11FYY]

Would anyone be up for a meetup in Edinburgh Sunday Janurary 31st?
Tell us about your new years goals, what is going to happen in your business and then go for Dinner/Light Beverage.

Flights/Trains/Buses from London as little as £29 and I can give you help if you need to book a hotel room in the area which again will be cheap.

Ok, so it looks like not much has gained traction since I organised the last one.

Shall we start the process of planning a summer meetup?

Last time we met in C.London and I was a very good meetup.
A lot of great ideas was thrown around, I even summarised the meet up a few pages back.
There was no structure for the last meetup and it flowed pretty well, so we'll keep the same format if the numbers are low.

Maybe this time we could meet this for outside of London, for ease of travel.

Depending on the numbers, I can organise a venue that can accommodate, maybe food and a few drinks.

Who is free 24th July 2016?
Close to NEC Birmingham which is by Birmingham Int train station and motorway links.

Please note. I WILL be holding everyone accountable for execution and if you have not done anything already, you got 7 months to gain traction. DO IT!

1. ChrisJTurner

 

[Jata]

I can do Birmingham

 

[Martin Tale]

@ChrisJTurner I'm in. Less then a 3 hour trip from here. Going to have my progress thread up (maybe tonight if I have time) soon

Any updates and when the summer meetup will be ?

Struggling to find good meetups local to me apart from a bunch of nobody's trying to sell me their crap services lol

 

[Aimee]

Digging this thread out of the grave but I've got some free time this summer and was wondering if anyone is free to meet up sometime. The north of the UK would be ideal, but can also go down south if necessary. If anyone's free drop me a message and we can try to organise something!
