Beverly Jones Has Nothing to do with Affiliate...
I just heard that there is a “Beverly Jones” contacting folks in the UK under the guise of working for Affiliate Summit. According to Jess Luthi, this “Beverly” has contacted PrimeQ, DGM, and perhaps others.
Apparently, Ms. Beverly is offering free Affiliate Summit passes, and is asking for a list of conference attendees.
Anybody working with the conference has this information, and we’re not...

Countdown to the iPhone
I was in New York City yesterday to give a lecture at NYU on affiliate marketing and had some time to kill beforehand. So I ventured up to the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue to see the people waiting in line for an iPhone.
It was a dedicated bunch, for sure, but ridiculous. Come on now - waiting a week to get a gadget.
I think it looks like a great product, though I am still a BlackBerry guy. Don’t...

Comment on Texting Your Affiliate Links by Shawn...
That code wouldn’t have been good for a booth, anyway. It’s only for individual registrations.
As far as the sell out, we’re hoping to get good news back from the hotel that they can give us a little more space, so we can open registrations on a limited basis.

That 10% off discount code I received by text message doesn’t help now. We already registered the Kowabunga team and you are already sold out. Where was that t-shirt three weeks ago?

Texting Your Affiliate Links
There is a lot of talk about Affiliate 2.0 and harnessing technology to grow affiliate businesses, but how can you really do it?
Video is showing lots of potential, and mobile phone marketing has an exciting future, but both have associated learning curves and other barriers to entry.
How about t-shirts? Doesn’t sound so glorious, right? Well maybe that’s because you haven’t heard of Reactee.

Maybe I can get some pointers from Steve Rosenbaum (creator of MTV News UNfiltered), who will have a table at Affiliate Summit.

There was a vid of this kid on YouTube who was balancing his MacBook on one hand and it crashed to the ground. It stopped working and he was crying after that…
I don’t know if you’re a Moby fan, but that clip reminds me of his segment on his “Go” DVD where he walks around Paris and gives a drive-by commentary as he’s walking around.

I got bored of sitting at my desk and making videos, so I figured I’d spin around with the MacBook a bit.

Great idea, Shawn. It’s always encouraging to see Internet Marketers look beyond just buying the next Porsche (although they are nice…) to raise funds for charity too.
Nice trippy video.
I think you were walking around in a circle, judging by the number of times your TV appeared in the background?
Gee, I hope you don’t suffer from vertigo…

Comment on Brokerage Firm Affiliate Programs by...
Hmmm… I’m wondering if this question was a setup. I just saw on Cost Per News that E*TRADE just launched a program on CJ.
Granted, it’s the mortgage side of the house, but still coincidental timing.
