Affiliate Summit East 2011: Wil Reynolds Keynote #ASE11

Posted on Oct 3, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, Conferences & Networking |

Wil Reynolds' Affiliate Summit East 2011 KeynoteWil Reynolds knocked it out of the park once again speaking at Affiliate Summit East 2011.  Not just the most requested session, but as a keynote speaker!  It was the only keynote I attended this time around, and well worth it!

Bullet Point Review!

  • We fall in love with the things that are easy.
  • This is the 12th affiliate summit Wil’s speaking at.
  • Sick of shortcut tactics that win.
  • Find .edu clubs on topics that you could sponsor.
  • Intitle search.
  • Google is matching synonyms so sometimes you don’t have to do as much work as you think
  • Believe in the power of 1.  What are you doing to turn 10 to 10,000?
  • What value do you add?
  • Google will eventually figure it out.
  • Rel=author (once you get to a certain level, Google starts putting your picture by articles).
  • 30-40% of searches are related to brands.
  • If you’re being un-followed en masse, you screwed up.  Invest your time & find out why.
  • Underutilized assets: badges, giveaways, social.
  • Invest in assets.
  • Find .edus or k.12 that list scholarships – make one!
  • Strong connections are always valuable.
  • Little tidbit: Press 4 in Google Voice to record.  Pay Speech Pad $1 per minute to transcribe and use that as your content!

Wil was goodly enough to utilize the power of the SEER Interactive Blog and his twitter following and posted all the links he mentioned in his keynote here: Affiliate Summit Keynote Links.
