The schedule for Affiliate Summit is filling up like crazy.  In “What Networks Are Doing For Affiliates At Affiliate Summit Part 1” I wrote about some of the parties and events that affiliate networks are having for their affiliates.  A couple of new things came up so I figured it would be fair to update with some of the added events.

CX Digital Roll Like A Billionaire Party

This party seems like it’s going to be pretty cool.  The promotions for its state “money is no object” so hopefully the party lives up to the expectations.  I’m sure it will considering they are picking everyone up in Limos.  Pretty crazy but sounds like lots of fun.

XY7

XY7 apparently does not want to disappoint.  They are now throwing 2 parties.  One on Sunday where they are taking people to an MMA fight at Planet Hollywood.  The other is a kick off party for the event.

LeadFlash

These guys are taking out the basketball suite at the Palms.  Seems like they are going all out.

That’s the update for now.  Expect posts throughout the event.

It’s sort of sad but some people don’t know how to behave when they get off the interwebs and into real life.  This is meant as a small guide of how to behave towards various people in the industry at a show such as Affiliate Summit.

How To Act Towards Other Affiliates

• Don’t brag about how much money you make.  You will look like a tool.
• Don’t wear a pink bandanna unless your a girl.
• Don’t be a phony and try to pretend you are an expert at something you aren’t.  If you are involved in a conversation and you don’t really know much about what the other affiliates are talking about, just admit it and ask questions.  People can detect a phony from a mile away.
• Don’t try to get “secrets” from other affiliates.  If they want to give you information they will, but asking for some sort of “secret sauce” is going to turn people off from you in a hot second.
• Don’t ask other affiliates what offers their running.  It’s ok to talk about the niches you like to promote and ask what their into but it’s not ok to try to delve into privileged info.
• Don’t think your a gangsta and try to start fights with other affiliates because of something they said about you online.  Act like a human being.

How To Act Towards Affiliate Managers

• If you want some time with your AM at Affiliate Summit, set up a meeting before hand.  Don’t expect that they can just drop whatever they are doing to meet with you.
• Don’t ask your affiliate managers what offers another affiliate that shares your AM is running.  You’re putting your AM in a bad spot and you wouldn’t want them to drop your info on another affiliate would you?
• Treat your AM with respect.  Although their job is to service your account, they don’t owe you anything.
• If your AM is a women don’t hit on her.  Your AM is in the industry to take your crap on a business level, not on a sexual level.  I’m sure she can do better then your ugly ass.

The biggest reason for going to a conference like affiliate summit is to network.  You can make friends in this industry that will last for years.  Talk to people with respect (unless their hobby is dressing up like spiderman to invade kiddie parks) and bring something to the conversation and it can pay off ten fold for years down the line.

Remember, It’s OK to be a dick but not OK to be a douchebag.
