Finding Affiliate Summit
I’m sure that most Revenews readers know that Affiliate Summit starts in less than a week. Get your bags packed and practice your card counting.
If you’ve been to Affiliate Summit, you probably expect more of the same. I’m sure that will be the case but I’ve noticed some changes including auctions, races and hunting for treasure somewhere other than at the casino.
It’s all about charity
Missy and Shawn started raising money for charity a while back for the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation. Flamingoworld sponsored the staff T-shirts last year and more money was raised this year. AOL’s Advertising.com’s Buy.at Affiliate Network won placement on the shirts for $12,000. Connie Berg, Andy Rodriguez, and Chris Sanderson all bid but you can’t blame them for saying uncle to big daddy AOL.
In the celebrity auction (insert joke here), several of us (including Tim Storm, Adam Viener and Scott Jangro) offered ourselves for dinner… that is, to have dinner with the winner some time during Affiliate Summit. I will be dining with Jonathan Miller of Forge Business who won me for the bargain price of $227.50. Watch his programs grow!
You still have a chance to get in the action with the Great Affiliate Road Rally of 2008. The entrance fee is only $100 and the bragging rights will be HUGE!
Hunting for Treasure with Converseon
Jamie Birch and team will be strategically hidden around Affiliate Summit at specific times in a new game called Where in the Summit Is Converseon. Follow them on Twitter and if you can find them, snap a picture and post it to Flickr, you can win prizes, fame and fortune. It’s great to see a member of the community doing something new and using technology to help. Hell, maybe I’ll hide pictures of Jamie and team around Cashbaq, especially if Jamie dresses up like Carmen Sandiego.
New Role for me
Oh no… Shawn and Missy are giving me a press pass. While I’m really in it for the WiFi access, I think I’ll have fun with it. If you always had something you wanted to say on Revenews but were afraid to ask (or Wayne, Jim and Sam said no to you), let’s talk. I’m happy to have microinterviews with the starts of Affiliate Summit (that would be you).
Old Role for me
Kevin Lee of Did-It was itching for a debate. He picked trademark bidding and Shawn suggested asking me. You know I can’t turn down a fight. While I might have taken the con position on coupon sites a few years ago, I’m taking the pro position this time around. Somehow this remains one of the most emotional topics in affiliate marketing. Stop by on Monday at 11:30 to see if Kevin and I can shed new light on it (or if I can make Kevin cry).
So there you have it. I’m heading to Vegas as a Publisher, member of the Press, Auction Item, and Speaker with the possibility of being a Racecar Driver and Treasure Hunter. It should be a good time for all.
