Local Marketing Meetup Groups
I have previously been involved in local area meetup groups when I was involved in real estate. Recently, I have been wondering if there were any meetup groups for affiliate marketers in my local area.
Meetups are organized and held for people who are involved in certain businesses that share the same profession or interest to gather and network and learn from each other. The meetups have speakers who discuss a wide variety of topics within a particular business. Within the online marketing meetups there are discussions surrounding affiliate marketing, SEO and SEM as well as publishing and many other topics for online marketers.
Most are free meetup groups to join, but sometimes donations may be requested from time to time.
You have an opportunity to gain insightful information via sharing of information, presentations and also networking. Attending these local meetings could help you make improvements with your own online business or can give you a chance to share some of your own ideas.
Being a member of a local meetup could also introduce you to other groups which may be local to your particular area.
In my research I was able to locate at least 3 groups within my local area for professionals and entrepreneurs and a business alliance.
Thanks to the collaboration of David Vogelpohl, author of “Top 25 Online Marketers to Follow on Twitter” and Mary Werner, a marketer and social media enthusiast, they were able to compile the following list of meetups in 31 NFL cities.

Hopefully, some of you may be able to find a meetup group in your local area from this list. If your area is not on this list, try to Google it for your local area.
I have found meetup groups that I have joined for other businesses have been very useful, particularly when I was new to that particular business.
Try it out if you can.
Thanks for taking the time.
I would appreciate some likes if you found this to be useful.
Cheers,
Verna

I haven't found any free ones in my area but there are some networking groups where the idea is to keep business within your circle :)
Yes, Jude that is basically what the meetup groups are. There is a lot of networking going on at the meetups. I like that newbies get an opportunity to pick the brains of the more experienced people. You get to hear real struggles and successes. I also think that attending helps to keep people motivated to stick with it.

I am going to try this. I would like to speak person to person with someone trying to be successful with an online business.
Thanks for the idea.
Yes, I think it is very helpful to have the opportunity to do that. I was involved in a different kind of meetup business (previously was a realtor and did some real estate investment business), but sometimes people are able to find experienced business people who are sometimes willing to be a mentor. So, a lot of good things can happen with those meetings.
I will let you know how it goes. I have family near San Francisco and plan to go to one of their gatherings while I am here. Most of the time I live in Mexico.
That's great! Maybe you can write about it as one of your WA blogs if you think it will be helpful to others. I hope you have a good experience with it. I hope you get a good one.
Can't wait to hear about it.
