Check this out. Instead of just attending a conference, I turned it into a way to market my business:
This past week, I attended the Inbound Marketing Summit in San Francisco. In addition to meeting some great people and handing out business cards, I wanted to find a more substantial way to get attendees to remember me and my business.
So, I took copious notes from each speaker’s presentation and sent out numerous Tweets throughout the duration of the conference advertising that I’d be glad to give anyone a copy of my notes.
I had about 15 people respond, including one of the speakers, Bryan Srabian (who is in charge of Social Media for the San Francisco Giants).
I fixed the notes up a bit and inserted my logo and a link to my blog. Now, these 15 people know who I am and know what B-List Marketing is. I wouldn’t be surprised if I obtain new clients and customers, either directly or indirectly, because of these simple notes.
It’s basic content marketing.

I'm a notorious note taker. It just helps as a point of reference or recap from a reading or lecture.

My recent post Why Email is The Most Popular Way to Share Content
That's basically what content marketing is all about. I find any and every way to take pieces of my life and turn them into content.
That's really what it's all about. It actually makes for better content because it's more authentic. People will resonate with it more, thus making it more effective.

This was a cool and smart idea you had, Brandon. Bet a lot of people would gobble your notes up. And, using your tools as a marketing tool really rocks!
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
