Recently, I attended a network group, which was online. Many years ago, I attended a similar group, which was actually an in person group, where we shared breakfast and then went into smaller groups. The online groups are exactly the same, apart from we don't have breakfast, but we do go into individual Zoom rooms and have one-to-one meetings, which is really good.

I believe that there is something superb when we next with other business minded people. Their industry may not be related to ours, but over a period of time, we can learn from each other and hopefully gain some business and gain some good insights.

Let me know what you think about networking groups.

Have you been to a networking group?

Do you think they offer value and a suitable for affiliate marketers?

Let me know below and join in the conversation.

Thanks for watching.

Good morning Timothy,

It's interesting to hear how different practices work for different people. I certainly like the social aspect of networking groups, but I can also see the potential.

From what I understand, it even seems like flyers and business cards are coming more into fashion again.

Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Have a great day.

Absolutely they are valuable. I'm attending an online meeting tomorrow morning. Affiliate marketing is a business just like any other. So many people lose sight of that or don't have that mindset. Use all the resources you can. I've met so many people whom I've learned from and have allowed me to grow my business. You never know who you're going to meet.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, Christina, it's appreciated.

That's really interesting to hear from someone who knows the value of networking groups, Christina. I'm very new to this type of networking, but so far I'm really enjoying it, as I appreciate people and it's a great way of communicating and learning things.

I hear you, I think we often think that because we are in the affiliate marketing business, no one is interested, but actually it's just the opposite! I also agree that it's a great way to learn, just as we do, on the Wealthy Affiliate platform, we can learn so much from others.

Wishing you all the best.

Absolutely. I also forgot to add that as wonderful as it is to be able to make a living by doing what we do, it's so important to connect with people in person at different events as well. It's having that balance of meeting people on and offline. Staying social really helps to keep you in a motivated and positive state of mind. Emotionally too. So important when you have those tough days to deal with that comes with running a business.

All the best to you as well.

I agree with you, Christina, I think it is very important to be over to connect with different people and different events, as you rightly mention. It's great to work online, but we still need that human connection and good people around us.

Thank you for commenting and have a great day.

When I was starting out, I would attend a plethora of business networking groups and to this day, I have local marketing clients that I still work with, who I met at some networking group.

Throughout my journey with networking groups, I have had the honour of speaking at some of these events and once spoke at MozCon which is an internet marketing conference.

I think they are SUPER valuable.. even in the affiliate marketing world and highly recommend them as you never know how they may turn out for you!

Regards,
Jay

Thank you for your reply, Jay, it's appreciated.

That's really interesting, Jay, I know that networking groups have been going on for years, so there must be some strength in these groups. I must admit that I had a tendency to think that, due to the Internet, they may not be so popular, but it's great that they are going online, but still also have face-to-face meetings.

That's great that you have had so many opportunities at these networking events, Jay, that says a lot! What an honour to speak at an Internet marketing conference, I'm sure that people valued your input, just as we do at Wealthy Affiliate.

Certainly, in my very limited experience, I'm really enjoying the opportunity to network with other business people, I can see the value in these meetings. I probably will try a face-to-face event, but this is a great resource, just being able to Zoom, into these network meetings. I like the fact that there are always different types of people there.

All the best.

Great video and insights, Roy. No I haven't been into any networking groups as of yet. I don't know but I'm kinda considering about searching for an ethical group for starters.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment, Myra, thank you.

There may actually be Internet marketing networking groups, in fact I'm sure there are. I must admit, I quite actually like the idea of meeting people from all sorts of different businesses. The group that I went on today, had a man who was highly successful, but also very humble. I believe that we can learn so much from these people. I can definitely recommend networking groups, despite my limited experience!

Have a great day.
