Tickets aren’t expected to hit the public market so if you’re thinking of going, you should definitely be on the mailing list but that said, if you signed up for the mailing list last year you’re all set. Well speaking of conferences, tickets for MicroConf Europe are going to be going on sale shortly so if you’re interested in that, head over to to get on the early bird mailing list and you can be notified when those tickets are made available. And for people you know for copy writers or the info marketers or people who are more in that space, I think it was a really good conference and I think there were some talks that probably resonated with them more than with me. But I mean at the same time you knew going into it that you were kind of going out on a limb and it was outside of the industry and the types of people that you typically hang out with so you know, it was a risk one way or the other. Joana Weeb was there, Lance Jones and Ruben Gomez and actually decided on like a completely new pricing structure for Drip, some headline ideas, how to describe what Drip is becoming, that was really the value but its funny we could’ve just kind of hung out for a weekend and probably gotten the same value out of it. So to be honest best part were the long conversations. Aside from those two highlights I didn’t take a ton away from the conference. I was kind of going out on a limb, going to a place where I didn’t know anybody and there were just a lot of freelance copywriters and some copywriters for Fortune 500 companies and there were some info marketers and that kind of stuff but it wasn’t necessarily an audience that I really need to connect with. I’ve been a fan of CopyBlogger and Brian Clark for years but it wasn’t a great fit for me and neither was the audience. To be honest, the rest of the conference, it was so-so. So it was really well done and those were my two favorite ones. It was a lot of stuff about split testing buttons but not just a bunch of examples it was like mindset of how to get inside the head of someone and how to structure buttons split test. We may ask her to do it at a future MicroConf because it was just good. She delivered a really, really good talk. He’s definitely a good speaker and he’s a motivational inspirational and then Joanna Weeb of Copy Hackers. I was at Copy Bloggers Authority Conference and I had a nice dinner with several local Micropreneur there and then the conference was Thursday, Friday and the highlights for me were Seth Godin. Its if you’re interested in helping fund that cause or some information there, it links over to their indigo go campaign. So if you’re interested in supporting that effort, head over to their website. And the reason I’m bringing this up is because primarily our audience is kind of focused on developers and this company Charity Sky is trying to focus on providing software development training to K-12 students. Mike: I got an email from Alias Base from Charity Sky and he’s running an indigo go campaign to convert his company from an LLC into a 501 C3 registered charity.
