Branding Rant

Last night was the first Qld Internet Professionals Meeting and it turned out to be great.

Around about seven people rocked up at the Brewhouse and chatted about how they made their living online. We have a relatively diverse range of skills in the group, ranging from coders, designers, internet marketers, salesmen and business owners and we all got along swimmingly. Topics of the night included SEO, domaining, torrents and outsourcing. Here are the guys that made it last night:

• Stuart Hilditch
• Peter Laurent
• Ben Wilks
• Mike McMahon
• Angus Scown
• Rob (didn’t catch your last name)

I managed to take a few photos from the night, but my camera was very dodgy and I had to photoshop them to make them legible. You should get the picture though.

Right-Left: Mike McMahon and Stuart Hilditch chatted about coding, making money and internet business.

Right-Left: Rob and Angus Scown had a good long chat about developing sites.

Right-Left: Peter Laurent and Ben Wilks talked on domaining, SEO and all the degrees that they should have done 10 years ago.

I think for the next meetup we’ll do something a little more structured and at a place where the younger crowd can meetup, as well (Draicone). I have a few ideas up my sleeves… Also, what are you thoughts on eventually doing workshops?

I hope everyone enjoyed the night as I did. I look forward to attending the next meet up - perhaps in a month’s time.
