The schedule for Affiliate Summit is filling up like crazy.

Convert2Media is a newish network on the scene but is run by industry veteran Ruck formerly from CashTactics.net. His blog used to rock and now his network does too. Ruck sent out an interesting email today to all of his affiliates: Morning C2M, I wanted to drop a note that Convert2Media is not going to be dealing with [...]

There’s a lot of different people and styles of marketing in the affiliate marketing industry. Some people like to keep it completely clean and safe. Some people are shady.

So as is everyone, I am phsyched for Affiliate Summit West 2009 in Vegas. The schedule is filling up.

Do You Have A Plan For 2009?

Ad Hustler — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 18:48:10 +0000

I was speaking to Jeff, my affiliate manager at Copeac. He asked me if I had a plan for 2009. It’s such a simple question and sort of genious at the same time. I don’t think that most affiliates have a plan for the year. Like me, we wing it as we go, promoting whatever [...]
