Is Marketing Out To Get You?

Sometimes is seems as though Event Marketing is targeted directly at you. This fall I received an email about a blogging conference that I was "invited" to attend. There would be blogging gurus in abundance, camaraderie with other bloggers, affiliates everywhere, and it would only cost a whole lot of money. Oh yeah, plus the airfare and hotel. But, according to the event sponsors I would learn the secrets to making money online with my blog. So, I considered the whole thing, but decided against it when I remembered that there are literally hundreds of "how to make money online" blogs out there, and there free.

The marketing gurus almost had me, but I think I used some better judgment in the end.
