Do you think attending huge online marketing conferences will bring in business?

I remember one of the other members here talking about attending Google events, I think it was Cristian?

Anyway I just wonder whether attending some really huge online marketing conferences would be a good way to bring in business for freelancers? Yes they might be expensive but remember you can take a trip and bill your business

You could learn a huge amount from attending these conferences and perhaps you could get some amazing business in from networking?

I found this cool list of Worldwide Digital Conferences for 2016. I don't know about you but I would love to attend things like this!

I've never gone to some of the huge marketing conferences where you have to pay $1,000+ per pass, but it would be pretty awesome to attend one Now I have gone to small meetups that were organized through popular online marketing forums, and those were really fun and I got to meet some pretty awesome people I haven't attended one of these in a long time, but I still talk to a few of the people I met through these meetups. A couple of the guys I met are actually pretty well known in the SEO and Online Marketing world. One of them makes close to 50k a month and you would never know it if he didn't tell you Another guy sells websites for his clients and makes over $5,000,000 a year doing so, and you'd never think he did

As for the marketing aspect for a freelancer. I definitely think you'd be able to get a few on going jobs just by attending these conferences and talking to people. You have to talk to people though, they won't just come up to you and give you a job lol

You can also go another route and buy some advertising space at the event in terms of a booth, putting up banners or getting your brochure in the giveaways bags to every member. I personally would go with the brochure marketing in the bags because people will take those home with them and possibly read them when they're online

Yes Razzy I agree with you, it would be incredible to go wouldn't it?

I am a great networker. When I had an online baby store I would go to the massive yearly Baby Expo every day for the few days it was on and just go from stall to stall talking to everyone. I always enjoyed it.

I believe that networking face to face at these places is most certainly the way to go. We forget how important personal relationships can be

Attending huge online marketing conferences will provide you knowledge, information and ideas to improve business. However, conference will not directly help you bring in business. If you attend conferences, you will meet like mined people, and this gives you and opportunity to share knowledge and information.

I have yet to attend an online marketing conference but if I have the time and given the proper notice then maybe I will. But, of course, the fee is also to be considered together with the distance of the venue. Attending such conferences can afford you to connect to the right people in the industry. As a freelancer, connection is important so maybe I can sacrifice something to be able to attend such conferences for the benefit of my online career.
