Erin Blaskie - Internet Marketing Strategist

When you think of passionate love affairs, it’s not often that you also think about Internet Marketing.  However, when you meet Erin Blaskie, you realize that those two things meld together in a way that just makes sense.

Erin Blaskie started her first company at the age of 21.  After launching BSETC, a professional outsourcing team, she joined forces with some of the top Internet Marketers to support, build, grow and sell some amazing companies.  To date, Erin and her team have serviced over 300 entrepreneurs in countless countries around the world. Five years and a few more businesses later, Erin has put her hands on every style of business out there.

Always one to figure out how things on the Internet work, she has made it her livelihood to experiment with the latest technologies, ideas and to even create concepts that didn’t exist before. As a multi-faceted entrepreneur, Erin has been featured in three print books; honoured as Office Arrow’s 2008 Runner-Up Business Woman of the Year; interviewed by countless gurus and media personalities; featured in major news outlets such as ABC and CBC; and asked to speak at both national and international events.

While this event is free for members of The Ottawa Network, we ask that you register online here.
