Renegade Conservatory Guy

I’m back from LA now, and still recovering from Jet Lag - or is it a hangover, not sure?

I learnt quite a bit about internet marketing - from how to manage a Google Adwords account, setting up a niche subscription website, creating an effective podcasting channel, through to buzz marketing.

I was particularly impressed by one of the speakers - Andrew Locke. I think he is known as the Renegade Auction Seller due to his exploits on eBay. He showed the delegates a number of impressive online resources, such as 99Designs.com a site where designers from around the world will compete to produce you the best designs for the fee you set. Definitely worth checking out!

I’m now back to business in the UK now - and looking forward to Glassex.

I’ve heard rumours that this could be the penultimate event, which will be a real shame. I feel that, although, the show has decreased in size every year for the last 10 years or so, there is still good business being done. And our industry needs a flagship event where all the great and good can display their new products, and more importantly - socialise!

Finally, you probably think I’ve gone a bit loopy, but I’ve set up a new website called My Inbox Crap - it’s a safe place for me to put all the very best and worse joke emails. If you have any really crap emails, then please send them on to me at matthew@myinboxcrap.com.
