Attending Underground Seminar in March 2007

Posted By Darren Rowse 17th of November 2006 ProBlogger Site News 0 Comments

Agent6A few months ago I received an email asking me to speak at a conference (Underground Seminar) in Washington DC in March next year. It was a little different to most other speaking opportunities that I receive in that it wasn’t actually for a blogging specific conference – but instead for an internet marketing crowd.

I’ve always been intrigued by the internet marketing scene – actually I’ve had a love hate relationship with it and have wondered how blogs can intersect with it.

As a result, after doing a little checking into it’s organizer I accepted the offer to speak for a couple of reasons:

  1. I love talking about blogging – any opportunity to do so is something I’ll take up
  2. I am interested in interacting with Internet Marketers and to see what I can learn from them
  3. I was already planning a US trip in 2007 and this fits well timing wise

I’m not going to sell this conference hard here at ProBlogger as it does have a slightly different focus to ‘blogging for money’ but I do think that it’ll be something some of you will be interested in – so you can check it out at Underground Seminar (aff).

A little info on the Seminar:

  • This is the third year that Yanik Silver has run the Underground Seminar. The last two sold out quickly and received great reviews.
  • There’s 67 seats available at early bird discounted rates
  • Yanik’s put together a list of speakers who are trying a variety of online entrepreneurial activities – ie it’s not just blogging but includes other successful internet entrepreneurs – Yanik’s added up the earnings of everyone speaking and collectively it was over $57M in the last 12 months. I feel like a small fry in this line up.

Having chatted to a couple of last year’s attendees and seeing a little video of the event I’m looking forward to being there.

Yanik is promoting me as ‘GoldBlogger’ – it’s a ‘spy’ theme.

Plenty more info at the Underground Seminar site. Yep – it’s a pretty long and hyped sales page but if you’re interested I’ll see you there! If it’s not your cup of tea – no worries at all. Just wanted to let people know the option.

  1. You’ll be an oasis in that crowd Darren… :)

    I don’t know if secret agent Jonno’s VISA would survive 3 days of IM heat.

  2. I hope you will absorve a lot of knowledge…. to pass it on

    I’ll be one of your fellow man!

  3. You know, I’ve always wanted to go to that event – but I was always a bit skeptical. Knowing you will be there brings a world of credibility to my perception of the event. I’m now seriously considering going – thanks!! :)

  4. GoldBlogger? You’re no baddy! I see you as the good guy in the crowd – “Blog. James Blog.” perhaps?

  5. Cool, I was wondering who gold blogger was.

    Yanik is one of my favorite Internet Marketers. I think it will be a great experience. Now, I really want to go, but I don’t think I have the vaction time.

  6. Well, if anyone can sort through the hype, it’s you, Darren. It will be very interesting to read about your experiences and perceptions of the event!

  7. I have always wanted to go, but I am afraid there is no chance that

  8. “Blog…James Blog” – that’s a pretty good one! :)

    It’s tough coming up with all the spy names but I agree Darren’s no
    baddy. I’m excited to fly him in from AU. My other choice was
    “Down Under Blogging Bonanza” – but that “James Blog” one is
    better.

    Hope to see some of Darren’s Pro Blogging followers in Washington,
    DC in March.
