Affiliate Summit East Next Week

Posted on July 3, 2007 in Affiliate Summit  

I attended my first Affiliate Summit earlier this year in Las Vegas. I enjoyed it greatly, not really because of all the “great” speakers or sessions but more so to meet face to face with many people i talk with online daily. These people ranged from merchants, to Account Managers to friends online. These are my tips for those attending ASE.

1. Have Business Cards - even if you are doing this as a hobby get cards made of your blog or something.

2. Don’t be shy - If want to talk with “Shoemoney”, Kris Jones or even me just walk up to us and talk to us or others. We are all nice people and IF we have the time we will chat it up. Just don’t act like a newb on DP or EF and say hey what offer should i run or how do you make so much money. Most likely we will become busy or give you a sarcastic answer.

3. Attend a session only if it really interests you and if its lame don’t stay in it. I went to one that was marketing outside the box at ASW it was lame to me talking about offline marketing ( i was expecting something different) so i left. (If its lame your time is better spent networking)

4. Network Network Network… with merchants, CPA networks and of course other affiliates. You will find all of us love talking about things we are working on or hear of your success stories.

5. Talk with networks you deal with and ones you don’t. It’s your opportunity to pick their brain, find out what offers they have without signing up and talk about payouts. (Always under promise and over perform from your end. EX. if you do 100 leads on an offer tell them you do 50 to 75 and see what payout they will give you then when you hit 100 you can ask for more :) )

Have fun. We all can write off the expense for ASE to our business so make sure to take the time and have some fun while you are there. I will be attending and will have some of my CPA Affiliates T-shirts so if you see me and want one just ask.

    unfortunately I can’t go but would be nice to meet and talk with you in person. Plus get a free T-shirt.

    The only reason I’m attending is to score some free tshirts and attend the various after parties.

    Just kidding, looking forward to meeting all the people I deal with daily, it’ll be nice to put a face to all the names ;)

    Oh and Dave, got any mediums or small tshirts? :p

    I do have a few smalls and mediums. but mainly LArge and extra large, and few XXL’s. Hit me up and i will give you one. I am not bringing a ton of them to ASE, only about 20 or so. So if you want one find me early.

    Putting a face to the names is a big deal Plus you can wheel and deal with them if they are a network.
