This past week I got back from New York where I attended Affiliate Summit East 2011, which proved to be one of the best conferences I’ve attended. Every year Affiliate Summit gets better and better and this one was definitely worth it for my business.
Instead of bore you with every little detail of what I did, I figure I’d give you a few highlights and things I learned.
Affiliate Summit East 2011 starts in just a little over a week from today in New York City and I’m starting to get excited. Out of all of the conferences I go to every year, Affiliate Summit is usually my favorite. If you haven’t made plans to go yet, you’re probably a little late as it’s sold out (but you can check eBay I’ve heard).
Are you going?
If you’re a datafeed merchant and are going to be there, let me know if you want to schedule a meeting. I’m currently looking for good solid merchants that have decent datafeeds and would love to discuss your program with you.
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on my blog and it’s time for me to wipe the dust off and get writing again. I’ve had a few people ask me to write an update to the Niche Website Challenge that Chris Guthrie, Joe Sousa, James Seligman, and I started back in February and so I figured I’d give you an update.
If you don’t remember that post, check it out here to see what our competition was.
Thinking over the past few months it would be easy to consider the challenge a failure, but it has been far from it as it has taught me a lot of things.
In 2 weeks (May 25th-27th) I’ll be headed to Chicago for the ShareASale ThinkTank 2011 Remix conference. All I have to say is if you’re in affiliate marketing and aren’t going than your nuts. I’ve been to the past ThinkTanks in 2009 and 2010 and believe me, it’s not an event that you want to miss.
Unlike other conferences, ThinkTank is a pretty small event (usually a few hundred people), which means it’s great to relax and talk shop. Most of the time after big conferences I feel wiped out at the end, but haven’t felt that way at the end of previous ThinkTanks.
A few weeks ago I started reading the book The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau (a great read by the way), and I was inspired to create a life goal list. It was sitting in a file on my computer for the past few weeks and I pretty much forgot I started creating it. This morning I was checking out Dukeo.com and I saw that Stéphane posted his list right on his blog which inspired me to do the same.
I’ve created a new page on this blog that lists my goals of things I want to do in my lifetime. I figure if I make it public there will be a better chance of me reaching some of these goals.
