A 3 Hour Trip to JV Alert
Related Readings |
Just got back from Washington D.C. I was there for a Ken McArthur’s JV Alert. It was a very good learning experience and met a lot of good people. This was a out of my regular realm of advertising and marketing, since I do affiliate marketing and everyone at JV Alert do Internet Marketing. So there was a big gap for me and glad JV Alert filled it in.
So what did I learn? I actually learned a lot, more so about internet marketing. There was a session on PPC marketing but it really wasn’t entertaining as I was I think, the only affiliate marketer there. But I did get to talk to Anik Singal about some PPC stuff and his 2 mentors he brought along. There were some sessions that got my attention and I definitely met a lot of good people. I as welled partied heavy.
I got there a day late, Saturday. It was cooling because I really didn’t know anyone that was going to be there speaking, besides Yanik Silver. But met up with Ken McArthur the founder of JV Alert, Jani G my biz partner, and Joey Kissimmee. It was fun to meetup with these guys again.
This conference was definitely different from all the other ones I been to. Since it isn’t about buying traffic or anything on the advertising side, I felt I was not going to fit in or understand anything. I definitely took a lot back though and it was very beneficial to me. Especially since I am always looking to expand.
The conference is an Internet Marketing workshop where someone speaks and teaches THEN at the end they offer something. It was like going to a crappy MLM workshop and then they get you to buy into their crappy MLM service. But the content at JV Alert was pretty powerful and it was very inspiring to listen to Joel Bauer and others. Joel definitely had a great presentation and provided a lot of new content that I was un aware of just from a business standpoint.
The PPC Section was pretty bad, I did talk to Anik prior to his session and he said it was going to be very basic and he was right, it literally was very basic. Good presentation though. Then again the audience was a different crowd than what I was use to. I am use to affiliate marketers and advertisers, these guys were all about products and services and internet marketing. Definitely out of my realm, but worth learning about it.
Other than the show, I went out to downtown DC in Georgetown and went to a bar with a couple new people such as Ryan Bessling and Jair. It was a really good night and I definitely had fun, definitely drank a lot but the half a pie pizza slice I had definitely solved that problem.
Some other new people I met were Alex Sysoef of HowtoSpoter.com and Vin Montello a really good Copywriter and some what good comedian. There were others there as well that I met and talked to, exchanged ideas, cards, etc. I may think of going to another JV Alert since this one was and had good information.

Thanks Ken!
Very informative like older posts. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us. It teach us a new lesson about PPC and online marketing.
Very impressive article. I am glad that you’d enjoy and learn a lot during your Trip to JV Alert. And in addition to PPC marketing, to maximize success and achieve scale, automated bid management systems can be deployed. These systems can be used directly by the advertiser, though they are more commonly used by advertising agencies that offer PPC bid management as a service. These tools generally allow for bid management at scale including payday cash loan, with thousands or even millions of PPC bids controlled by a highly automated system.
Lol what have you done during your heavy partying?
Hey Ian,
It was nice to meet you in DC as well. Interesting how people look different in real life, huh?
Cheers!
Alex

Its awesome post tell us more about your experience there. I hope it was wonderful.
Yes I have listened to Joel Bauer as well, he does deliver great presentations. He does have a way with inspiring people. It sounds like overall you had a great experience, while some of the presentation might have been dry, you got to listen to some good stuff! You did get to go to DC as well, and there is some fun stuff as well!

Joel Bauer is famous for his presentations. You must learn there share that with us.
These king of event are always beneficial. When I get a chance to meet such event I always go there.
I like people have been learning all the life,trying to get new knowledge and know new tendencies in this changeble world.
Great review! That is why such conferences recorded as videos sell like hot cakes!
@ game-girl— Yes you are right we are still learning and want to continue it whole life. We are student of a class which never pass out.
Are there any videos of this? Or maybe some slides or materials? I’d love to hear some more about the stuff they said about PPC marketing.
These systems can be used directly by the advertiser, though they are more commonly used by advertising agencies that offer PPC bid management as a service.
I have been to a seminar before where Joel Bauer was a guest speaker, man was he impressive, he kept everyone glued in their seats, and eyes wide open, he was clearly the best speaker out of all the speakers we had that weekend. He even got me to buy his DVD package that just goes to show you how good that man is at selling.
Till then,
Jean
Such learning events can be very inspiring for newbies and also experienced bloggers,they can unite people and help in communication.
Great post! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. All such events gives an opporunity to learn and explore.
@Ian – i guessed you’d have seen the contrast in the parties between this and the the stuff that goes on at AffSummit and Ad:Tech.
Generally more “family folks” at these events.
