It’s one of my favorite times of the year: New York City in late August.  Tomorrow Ruck and I will both be heading to the big apple to spend a week with Affiliates, Advertisers, and Entrepreneurs while indulging in some delicious street food (our personal favorite is the Greek cart outside the Hilton NYC).  If you’ve never been to an affiliate marketing conference this is the one I recommend the most.  New York City has a lot of fun things to do but less distractions than Vegas so a lot of room to get work done.

Saturday we’ll hold our first ever Grind Session.  If you’re going to be in town this is one event you should attend.  As we’ve mentioned many times here on the IMGrind Blog Ruck and I will be revealing many of our personal strategies that have made us millions of dollars online.  We’re not going to host a typical yawn me to sleep event; we’re going to be personally interacting with everyone discussing strategy and even showing some of our personal sites.  If you haven’t already I suggest reserving a seat or purchasing a recording.  Lots of fun and we’re excited.

On Sunday, Affiliate Summit East officially kicks off with the Meet Market.  This is an informal meeting of exhibitors where you can discuss strategy, campaigns, and meet other affiliate marketers.  I’m not a huge fan because it gets so loud but you will find me mingling around the madness and one point or another.  Monday and Tuesday the exhibit hall floor opens up and you’ll find Ruck and I hovering around the Convert 2 Media booth with a keg of cold beer (Sam Adams & Amstel Light).  If you run at least $1K a day in volume, come have one or two (not really but don’t be “that guy”)…

We’ll be finishing off our NYC tour on Wednesday and Thursday with LeadsCon East.  If you’re a lead generation veteran or even just getting into lead generation arbitrage it’s likely you’ll meet some contacts that will help you scale and further monetize your business.

Don’t forget that we’ll also be sponsoring the Affiliate Ball Monday night.  We’re going to be distributing a few VIP passes at the Grind Session Saturday so make sure you attend!  Ruck and I are both excited for the opportunity to meet many of you face-to-face all while teaching some aggressive strategies.  This is one week in NYC you’re not going to want to miss!
