  1. I’m happy to see a lot of online marketing seminars or events. This shows that online marketing is really entering the mainstream. Any internet marketer can agree that you can really never learn enough about Internet marketing. That’s why these events are crucial for more learning.

    • Didn’t realise there were quite so many events before I started passing by this blog.

      I like the Small Bytes & Apps event. Looking forward to the Small Business Book awards as well. 🙂
