Back from Affiliate Summit West 2010

I have returned from another successful trip to an Affiliate Summit, this time the conference was Affiliate Summit West 2010.  It was an interesting trip, considering the new direction my career is now taking.

So here’s the scoop – at the end of the month, I’ll no longer be working as an outsourced program manager with Paulson Management Group.  They are bringing all work in-house to their Boulder, CO office. – which means that I’d have to move from California to continue to work with them.  Instead, I’m going to be transitioning over the next two weeks to work in client support and sales for ForMeToCoupon.com, an automated coupon feed service for affiliates.  I’m excited for the transition, into yet another aspect of affiliate marketing.

So at this Affiliate Summit, I did double duty.  I both represented Paulson Management Group and the client whose program I still manage, and represented ForMeToCoupon.com in their booth as well during the expo hall hours.  It was very interesting, but worked out better than I’d imagined.  Amy with Affiliate Summit was awesome enough to print me out a second version of my name tag badge that had the FMTC company name on it so I wouldn’t confuse anyone (more than I might already have confused people).  So, enough about my new role, which I am very excited about and have already started working on.

I didn’t go to as many sessions as I normally like to at a conference, what with the meetings I had and the time I put in standing at the FMTC booth.  Those recaps will come soon.  Until then, some brief recaps of my days at Affiliate Summit West 2010 are soon to come!  I don’t want to write the longest post in the history of TrishaLyn.com, so I’ll break them up.  You can see them later!
