Tweet I attended Jim Kukral‘s session at Affiliate Summit entitled, “How to get Motivated for Success” only to hear Jim speak. He has a natural stage presence, and I was going simply to listen to a great public speaker. I didn’t expect to get anything out of the session, but Jim definitely proved me wrong. [...]

Tweet Chris Knight‘s session at Affiliate Summit, Scaling Article Marketing for Affiliates, was one at which I took more notes than any other in the five Affiliate Summit’s I’ve been to (Miami ’07, Boston ’08, Vegas ’09, NY ’09, Vegas ’10). I was on fire, with 3-1/2 pages of typed notes, which I’m going to [...]

Tweet Tuesday was the final day of Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas – sad to see things wrap up, but 3 days is all I can take being away from my family and working (attending sessions, networking opportunities, walking the exhibit hall floor) nearly 24/7. I started the day down in the Blogger’s Lounge, [...]

Tweet Wil Reynolds‘ session at Affiliate Summit West, “How to Fix Failing SEO Efforts,” was the third time I’ve listen to him speak. No matter what other sessions are going on, and no matter what the session is named, if you have the chance to hear Wil speak, do it. If not, subscribe to his [...]

Tweet Affiliate Summit continued on Monday, starting with breakfast then Dr. Robert Cialdini’s keynote. After the keynote, I ran through the Exhibit Hall, but wasn’t too impressed this time around. “It’s not you, it’s me.” Previously, I would have talked to everyone, took every pen, stress ball and whatever SWAG they were giving away and [...]

Tweet Dr. Robert Cialdini, author of Yes!: 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive, and Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, was the Affiliate Summit keynote speaker this morning. I wasn’t expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. Cialdini covered 6 Universal Principles of Social Influence: Reciprocation Scarcity Authority Consistency Consensus Friendship / Liking I’m not going [...]

Tweet Sunday was day 1 of Affiliate Summit, which for me started with breakfast with CAMA. Like I said yesterday, small meals like this is where the real deals get done at Affiliate Summit. A product I was emailed about a couple weeks ago (and ignored) was given as samples at breakfast. I got to [...]

Tweet Affiliate Summit is kicking off in Las Vegas, and yesterday was day 0 – the unofficial start. After a cramped flight in from Buffalo and a rather long shuttle bus ride, I arrived at the Rio and checked into my room right away. After a quick nap, I met a couple of friends down [...]

Tweet It hit me today when I signed an e-mail, “See you Saturday!” that Affiliate Summit is really here! Well, here’s my pregame blog post… I get in on Saturday and once again registration is open on Saturday. If you’re in Vegas then, you should definitely register before the show starts on Sunday. This is [...]

Tweet Last week I signed up to play in the Affiliate Summit Charity Poker Tournament, hosted by dk, and benefiting the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I haven’t played in a tournament in some time (actually, my last one may have been the Football Fanatics tournament in Vegas last year!) but I was once a pretty [...]
