Last year at the conference I kept hearing what happens in Nanaimo, stays in Nanaimo, so for the really good stuff well...you'll just have to see for yourself.
A couple of key things made this really worthwhile to me -
1. Got the confidence to build pages on my own - I know how to create a page from the title all the way to the footer. Title tag, meta tags, Htags - I know what all of these mean now - couldn't say that before.
2. Have a good sense of what type of content should be on a page and how a site should be organized (and why that is important).
3. The creating a diverse linking portfolio session - I've read Morgan's notes so many times that I end up quoting from them sometimes here on the forum, even when I don't realize it. A couple of times I've re-read something I've posted and thought - wow - that sounded just like the link post.
4. How the entire conference made me realize there are very few agents that focus on building our real estate business in this way (w/ focus on lead generation) and that created an instant bond with many of us. Some people had known each other online for a long time so for them it was also about meeting old friends - but even for someone like me who they didn't know as well - people were very generous with their knowledge and time. For this reason alone was well worth the trip.
5. Nanaimo - don't think the conference would have been the same in someplace like Vegas - the hotel, restaurants conference center and even REW's office were just within a couple of blocks from each other. There is a great park along the water and was very peaceful watching all the different types of boats, ferries and planes come in and out of the bay.
OK - so what else do you want to know or how can some of us talk YOU into going this year.
