We’re all Internet marketers, now. Clients who are considering engaging you look at your website and LinkedIn profile to confirm your expertise. As marketers, most of the assets we produce for our clients end up online. It makes sense then, to expand our reach, to create a way to use what we  know to generate passive income as well, whether from  e-books, on-demand webinars or income streams from affiliates that are related to your business but that do not compete with it.

Sitting around the old horseshoe, waiting for the Interactive Discussion Group: Strategies for Making the Most of Your Tradeshow Investment to begin, led by Bob Knorpp, President of marketing consultancy The Cool Beans Group. Bob also is part of the MPB2B “pit crew” and is collecting key takeaways to present tomorrow at the conference wrap up.
