I spent the weekend in Atlanta at the
Niche Affiliate Marketing Workshop
hosted by David Perdew. This is the 4th time I’ve attended and taught at “NAMS”, and I’ll be doing it again in January 2011.

I was unsure if I would be teaching again at NAMS-5, but I left yesterday knowing without a doubt that I would not miss the January event…

If you’re a regular reader here then you know I struggled with major lifestyle changes this summer, which had a dramatic impact on my routine and my motivation. I say motivation, but I see it now more as my energy level. I just didn’t have the energy to put as much into my business, or anything really, for awhile.

Going to this live event totally re-energized me.

I wasn’t alone, either. This weekend was the dose of inspiration and motivation for a lot of us that attended. I saw lightbulbs going off, a-ha moments, relief, excitement, and even tears of gratitude across the crowd. There were about 200 of us together for the weekend, and it was an incredible experience.

The NAMS events are limited to ~200 every time, and the 5th workshop in January will be no exception. That’s because it is a hands-on workshop, where you can get a lot more personal instruction and personal attention than the typical conference or seminar.

I taught 3 workshop sessions at the event, and also lead a private (unrecorded) mastermind session alongside Nicole Dean with the Advanced group.

As you can see in the photo at the top left, the workshops are offered to smaller groups – broken down by both levels and topics. In that particular session with the Intermediate group there were only 30-40 people in the room.

This opens up the opportunity to do in-depth Q&A with the instructors, and also to brainstorm as a group. It’s a unique set-up for a live event, and an incredibly productive format.

I taught affiliate site models, the various opportunities for affiliate marketers, affiliate marketing basics, and how you can position yourself in the marketplace.

In my last session with the Beginner group, Bob “the teacher” Jenkins and I did detailed site reviews of niche affiliate sites together. This proved incredibly helpful for those who were still trying to get a handle on how things are put together, and what affiliate sites look like.

I actually sat in on a few sessions myself when I wasn’t teaching or helping. I took a class in one of the Beginners rooms (ha!), where Bob taught mind mapping.

I downloaded iThoughtsHD on my iPad right there in the session, and created my very first mind map. ever. I’ve never been into mind maps so much, but it’s actually pretty cool on a touch screen.

That wasn’t the only thing I learned at NAMS 4 either. I left there anxious to get home and get straight to work on my own affiliate sites, implementing some things I picked up. I’m glad to be back, and especially glad to be back at a place where I feel so inspired and motivated…

Best,

p.s. NAMS always sells out months in advance due to the limited number of tickets, so you’ll want to grab a ticket now if you want to join us in January!
