Affiliate Summit East – Thanks AzoogleAds!

Well, it’s official. I will be going to Affiliate Summit East! I am really looking forward to this!

With Affiliate Marketing, networking is a big part of success. I contribute a lot of my success to knowing so many people in the market and both giving and receiving information! (Please note GIVING information… not just receiving…)

Before I get more into Affiliate Summit stuff I wanted to post this short quote from Neil Patel’s post today:

For example, 2 years ago I noticed that TechCrunch was not optimized for search engines. I decided to email Michael Arrington, on how he could make TechCrunch search engine friendly. For a few months he didn’t respond, but sooner or later he did.

Once Michael responded to me, he asked me how much it would cost for my help and I told him that I would do it for free. Within 2 weeks I doubled his search traffic and he was pleased. He then asked me if there was anything he could do for me and I told him that if he knew anyone that needed marketing help, it would be great if he mentioned my name.

Within minutes Michael emailed a few of his friends that ran Venture Capital funds and told them how I doubled his search traffic. But instead of his friends contacting me, they mass emailed all of the companies they funded, telling them to hire me. This led me to build relationships with many of the people insides Michael’s network, which has done wonders for my business.

As you can see, networking is important and I think Affiliate Summit is one of the best places to do this!

I was planning on attending but before I could purchase my tickets, the amazing people over at AzoogleAds offered to buy the tickets (and plane tickets) for me! Sweet!

As you’ll notice, not too long ago, AzoogleAds just got me a big 52″ Flat Screen LCD TV… and now, this!

I guess there is another lesson in this… Loyalty counts! Although I used to switch links to other affiliate networks on a few cents increase in pay, I really don’t recommend this or do this any more. Instead, just be loyal to your favorite networks and they’ll hook you up usually more than you could ever get anywhere else!

Ok… back to Affiliate Summit East…

Sadly, this is my first Affiliate Summit but I am VERY excited to see everyone and meet many of you.

Come ready with business cards and a photo ID… Oh and if you need business cards, I know of a great place where you can get free business cards called Vista Print (hahahahahaha… You know you would do it too… )

Jokes aside, I can’t wait to meet all of you who are going and for those of you who are not going, I will see you at the next one hopefully.

Thanks again AzoogleAds (And Ryan)!
