Hello Everyone,
I am writing this blog post on my journey home, for me it was by far the best Underground Online Seminar and I am sure you would all agree. Loved both the Keynote speakers and the addition of the Young Entrepreneurs this year. Wonders how Yanik will top Underground 6?
Carrie Wilkerson – Internet Marketer Of The Year
Carrie did a great job speaking about her success online building a following of over 100,000 people! To be honest though, even if Carrie got up on the stage and had the worst presentation ever she still would of won, Carrie was by far the most loved, followed and admired person in the room. Carrie hit the six-figure in her first 10 months of being online and doubled that within 2 more months! (and now the 7-figure mark).
Here’s a picture of me and Carrie…
James Bond Took My Picture
Towards the end of the event Marshall and I went to find the bond girls to snap our picture, we invited George Lazenby aka James Bond to take our picture and his response was “I don’t want to be in the picture, I want to take the picture!” so Marshall handed over the camera and we got our shot!
Meeting James Bond… He was in the 1969 film called On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, he still seems to be a hit with the lady’s
I got to also meet up with Andy Miller who some of you may remember from a couple years ago, he’s a real cool guy and would also tell me his story’s of how he got into trouble as a youngster! The guy on the right is Matt Smith who knows his stuff when it comes to Domains and flipping them, definitely follow him on Twitter and see what he’s up to.
Before my flight I decided to stay at the hotel for a few hours to get some much needed work done. While there Alex Jeffrey’s approached me and we started talking about our online business, after a short chat we moved over to Starbucks where we met James Schramko who is big in email marketing, they both gave me some killer tips and opened up my eyes to so much more I should be doing online on my website and with my email list.
Special thanks to all the speakers and Yanik of course Thanks Guys!
To our success in 2009,
Michael Dunlop
